The U-boat aspect of the war seems hopeless for the U-boats. The British have such an abundance of naval units that the entire north Atlantic routes can be covered each turn. I can't see any way for it to be economically viable because most of the time my U-boats are forced into combat (thus, no ...

It's been quite a balancing act trying to figure out where to spend MMP and when.

Why would someone choose to invest in artillery/rockets in favor of tactical and medium bombers which have far superior range?

With regard to the Japanese initial 6 months, can you help me understand when to have ...

Any tips on the benefit of research and upgrades versus simply pumping out more low-tech units?

Should I be playing the Naval Mod? For a person like me who has a basic understanding of task force groupings be more comfortable with that mod?

I don't understand why the British navy seems to always know where the Italians or German subs are. How does AI spotting work and why am I clueless about ...

Hello, and thank you for any help you can provide regarding the naval combat in the current default game and also on the Naval Mod included with the original (via purchase on Steam).

I played a lot of War Plan; I'm a veteran of GG: WitE(1); I'm a veteran gamer of World in Flames and others.

I can ...

I'm new to this game with a couple dozen hours played, and I am experienced with wargames like Warplan and I also know games like World in Flames and Rise & Fall of the Third Reich.

What I'm struggling with is the balance the Axis should set between new unit construction, research, unit upgrades ...

<t> Why? What do you know about French cooperation and capitulation to the Nazi tyranny?<br/>
<br/>
The Vichy French Government was the authority over these French territories. If Petain said "I'll allow it," then it was allowed (like say, the deportation of French Jews to the concentration camps ...

<t> Subs can't do anything to other subs here, except "spot" for other ships/aircraft.<br/>
Surface ships can't do much, and are not very useful.<br/>

Carriers and land-based air power will damage subs well.<br/>
I forgot to add: get 10 escorts on your resource routes and the amount of ...

They have to start in a city/town hex, be at 100%, and then the hex can be no more than 6 or 8 hexes away (I forget which).
Also, you must have purchased and have ready an Air Transport (which is consumed on an airdrop).

<t> I cannot believe no one has addressed the number one problem with the axis offensives in the Med:<br/>
Supply/shipping from the home country's ports (completely without escort!) to the destination ports flows freely, flows fully, cannot be intercepted at sea and with no production consequence ...

<t> I'm pretty disappointed by the AI, really. It's somewhat capable in defense in some places, but overall, it's just not thinking properly.<br/>

I am finding the AI Allied UK player easy to conquer in the North African theater by invading first Cypress then Syria, and from there Iraq and ...

<t> The AI for England needs to be improved heavily to defend<br/>
1) Cypress<br/>

The AI simply does not have any defensive sub-routine to protect anything east of Alexandria and as a result, the conquest of Iraq is easily accomplished by ...

Thanks - I saw it over there.
How can I tell what version I'm using? If I'm playing on steam, am I not using their "most current" and "officially approved by designer" version?
Should I be using the Steam beta?

<t> After playing the 1939 scenario into 1943 as the Axis side, I learned enough to see how the AI might handle the Axis side on its own. I turned the AI enhancements up all the way and started the 1940 scenario.<br/>

I was terribly disappointed by my results over several play-tests. First ...
