Re: Interdiction and AI movement

Thanks Teo, Yes, I saw you started on that Impossible SW Front scenario way back. This is really interesting, like Samy I was 95% sure it was not the case. I am getting close to being able to win at Impossible level campaign as Axis, and this might help at critical moments. Everone generally says In...

Interdiction and AI movement

One thing I have not tried against AI at 110 or higher is using interdiction to prevent unlimited AI movement. My basic reading of the rules is that interdiction will not impact this movement and only zones of control impact this movement. "30.7.2. AI on the defensive On the defensive the AI wi...

Looks like you are running pretty cool house rules there. :oops:

Thanks Zovs. Used this and it was great. I actually learned how to do air ops by going through the step by step process you wrote.

Re: Thanks for this Masterpiece

One of the great things about Matrix Games is user support. These forums are a great example of how strongly they support those who purchase the games. But the users are also great, by spending their time and energy on the forum to improve the game and provide insights on play. Yes, this is the only...

Re: Game crashes during scenario set-up

Thanks Erik for responding to this, I only just noticed. I will download the most recent update. I am sure it is just a bug with my computer.

Only just noticed your reply as I have been brain bleeding to get fully on top of War in the East 2 since it came out :D.

Thanks

RE: Destruction of the South Western Front tips

<t> Thanks Zovs for Mot issues. I only ever mot Inf one turn at a time (say no to keep unit mot prompt), as I don't know where I might need them next. Mot Inf are not the spear heads as they don't go far enough in, but they are great for moving far enough in to hold a pocket when mech units are limi...

RE: Destruction of the South Western Front tips

<t> It took me about 5 attempts to make it past T3 on impossible mode. The S in particular is just a nightmare unless you pocket a huge sum of Russians in first three turns. Then about another 5 attempts to get past T10-12. Keep trying because you start to become much, much better. Eventually I got ...

RE: Destruction of the South Western Front tips

<r> Hi Teo,<br/> <br/> One of the key helpers is motorising Inf. This is particularly true in the South over the first three turns. In full campaign I have a set move to pocket a large section of South front. It uses 3 and 2/3 Inf units being motorised. It also requires grabbing the SS Mot Div from ...

RE: Destruction of the South Western Front tips

<t> Hi Teo,<br/> <br/> You have to think about Impossible level as a completely different type of game. I have got as far as Jan '42 and fallen 10 points short of the 525 to continue (Got to Stalino but failed to take central Russia - and didn't force a surrender for Odessa). I inflicted about 3.5m ...
