Re: 39-45 (aka War In Europe)

Why are air unit types incorrect AC gunships, A-20s for Germans in '39-45'?

Third Reich 1942-1945

Anybody know if the Allies stage an invasion of North Africa or France at any point?
I'm playing Third Reich 1942-1945 as Axis, January 1943, human vs. computer, no invasion yet. I didn't know whether the AI was capable of it or not.

RE: Can't find embarked troops

<t> The other problems that encourage this is the mixing in of transported troops with regular naval troops in a stack, rather than a separate counter (different color?) to allow special naval stacking or when one checks the unit box -- have a background beneath the font that is a different color ...

Can't find embarked troops

<t> Europe:early Italian Option, Axis mid-1944. <br/>
So this is becoming a World War and North America is beginning to be invaded by the Axis. I didn't know this but evidently the Axis can lose transport ships when they are attacked or intercepted by Allied air. This has left me with a reduced ...

RE: HQs.

You get nothing, just the default "subordinate" nobody and you have to buy a good general. So keep that in mind with your planning. Don't spend down all your command points switching out a good commander for a present HQ and then build one and have nothing ready.

RE: AAR Barbarossa (ncc1701e (axis) vs Hairog (allies)) - Hairog welcome

<t> The simplest most effective strategy on the Russian front is where the Germans surround single units or small pockets of 1-4 Russian units, with special focus on their motorized and armored units which are the most expensive to produce (and lose!). This takes a fair amount of gumption but ...

RE: What does the blue triangle on Air Superiority Group counters represent?

Look.
Somebody please man'splain these to me again. What the button figures are when they are displayed and the pop-up label on it. Does that refer to what the unit is NOW, or what you can switch it to. I don't get it and I've played this game a lot.

RE: Panzer Map Mod

Would you consider yet a third figure for naval?! Triangle? Rectangle? Kite? Flattened pyramid? Rhomboid.
Bright blue border?

And how's about some special appearance for German SS units.

OK, that worked, thanks. I had no idea, now I know why certain units weren't reinforcing. I had never activated that, nor selected it.

RE: How do US air units get to England??

OK, Thanks!
It helps to have experience from those who have played the Allied side.
In fact, I just shipped an Axis bomber, no problem.

How do US air units get to England??

Europe: Early Italian Option:
US air units spotted in England. Greenland Neutral. Iceland Allied.
So HOW did the US air units traverse the Atlantic?? Its too long a haul to fly Reykjavik to Canada.
