Thanks Ranger Joe!

How slow is the advancement with the last 2 software updates? For example, I have 123 factories of George repaired out of 6 30 pt r&d factories. It's Nov 26 1942 and I haven't advanced a smidgen. Upgrade, repair and production are all on. Pdu is on. Realistic r&d on.

The Ha 45 has advanced to Jan ...

Thanks Bill. Looks like killing a few more units help as well.

Annoying ...
I'm playing 1939 campaign using the Naval Mods. Version is 1.15.00. After capturing Paris in July, I just get message that French govt flees to Bordeaux. Is this something to do with the naval mod?

Thanks for reply!
Dave

Okay, thanks!

My question is ... how many pz armies do you leave in assult mode during the winter? It would be nice for any units still in them to build beyond a level 1 fort for the blizzards!

I've always found the small unit zoc ridiculous. More so in a game where every rifle is counted for combat value for realism, yet you have all these tiny units adding layered zoc behind a main Frontline equal to a large unit.

Worse, most German small units are stuck as being assigned only to Corps ...

<t> Friedrichll, I'm only playing against ai and not the most experienced in this game. It seems like with any game that has some decent logistics modeling, the key is to attack only as a means to maneuver to get around enemy units and surround them or cut rail supply. Dont just bludgeon ahead and ...

<t> Thanks Loki. I might try reserve, I've ran so many experiments by now I was trying to move forward with the game.<br/>
<br/>
Historically, sure, no Panzer reinforcements in '41. It's a nice optional rule though and might help play balance. <br/>
<br/>
I haven't had much luck getting any ...

<t> Thanks Redjohn and Stamb. Okay, I cleared the marshes by turning left at Kiev ... just wondering because against human I'm uncomfortable with my small screen.<br/>
<br/>
I agree with Stamb though, I think contested areas clear way too slowly. What the development missed in this regard is that ...

<t> How do I get tanks to flow into a pz div in '41? Move into the theater reserve seems necessary, okay. Next, do I need exact same tank model in pool, or only type, as in any med tank will fill the medium tank toe, etc. Thanks!<br/>
<br/>
Bonus question, how do you clear the pripet marshes as ...

<t> As German on turns 6-8 I too am seeing up to 20% loss attacking single divisions just through flak and ops losses. I've done several attacks. Sometimes the divisions are cut off! I'll try 15k altitude then, but basically this is good sized problem. AlbertN has this right, flak made pilots stop ...

<t> I also tried to post my update history, but if I use periods I can't post as software thinks I'm sending a phone number and won't allow me to post.<br/>
<br/>
If nothing comes to mind, no worries, I'll just play turn 1 as Soviet, then switch to AI soviet control on turn 2. I assume I can do ...

<t> Joel, I have tried both. I have advanced the game to soviet turn, and am able as human player to move the units south of Lvov. In mid German turn 1, I've switched to Soviet AI completed my turn, and then on German turn 2 the Soviets have moved the southern front. I've just tried a new game using ...

Just started new games, didn't even move any German units, and soviet southern front was still unlocked. Tried 1941 campaign and no early end.

<t> I've started several campaign games as German against ai soviets. For the first time every single turn 1 I'm activating the soviet southern front even though I'm north and west of 187,187. Using beta 1.01.15 no early end. Actually started game with soviet under player control. I switched to ...

Thanks, guess I'll stay more historical and let the Bataan siege just age.

I'll have to try and see if airfield bombing has less AA than port bombing ... but nice way to keep engineers busy! And burn supply.

Thanks,
Dave

<t> So, how do you take Singapore? I'm playing a mostly historical game as Japan against Allied AI. <br/>
<br/>
1. What is the best way to take Singapore without being too gamey? In my first run through, I had the entire 25th army cross over and was worried afterwards about a counteroffensive and ...

Thank you! Maybe I was looking at the verify load and not letting the load proceed far enough along in the process. Anyway, came back to game after years away, several improvements in realism.

<t> I'm playing the Guadacanal scenario as the Japanese. <br/>
<br/>
The manual mentions the ability to cross load troops into the cargo space of an AK. It doesn't seem to mention how to do this?<br/>
<br/>
As the Japanese, I have a ton of AK, some with troop cap of 495, but I need 4k+ to load a ...
