RE: What about the Finns?

<t> Biggest reason for Finns not assaulting Leningrad was geography (Leningrad is practically next to Finnish border) and forward thinking. Mannerheim was an old general from the Czar's army and had spent huge parts of his life in St. Petersburg studying and working. He also knew whatever happens ...

Email address length

<r> I tried to register for multiplayer in game, but it seems my email address is too long (36 characters). <br/>

I get the response "Email is invalid", and on screen seems the address is cut down to 31 characters, which I suppose is sent for the server.<br/>

RE: Is the 1941 campaign Whack right now?

<t> I just recently read David Stahel's Kiev 1941. Most of the book dealt with other things than Kiev pocket, and in my opinion it was quite interesting to read!<br/>

As we know, logistics was huge problem for Germans, and for me the book provided some interesting statistics I hadn't seen ...

Static HQ

<r> I remember reading a thread where someone posted about his HQs being static and wondering what happened. I couldn't find this thread <E>:)</E> so I started new one. I think Joel mentioned HQs shouldn't be able to switch on static mode.<br/>

RE: Axis Players Think Tank

<t> I feel that the blizzard effects feel quite ok and right, but maybe it lasts too long. <br/>

If I read my history right, the original Moscow counteroffensive lasted from early December till early January, after which Soviet forces were forced to stop the general offensive since they also ...

RE: Should I be building Soviet HQs?

<t> In my campaign game as soviets I've never been able yet to build any Combined Arms or Tank Army HQs. Are there any prequisites for this, other than time? Currently I'm playing somewhere July / August 1942.<br/>

I do see the list for building tank brigades, rifle divisions, cavalry ...

RE: Advice on preparing for your first winter.

<t> Playing as Soviets in my GC I was able to decimate whole German Army during blizzard. Whole front moved back from before Leningrad, Vyazma and Kiev to part of AGN encircled in Estonia, AGC in shambles and hardly able to put fight and AGS in a bit stronger position, but pushed back to Rovno ...

<t> Yeah, I think it's good. In my game as Soviets against Axis AI in grand campaign the turn before blizzard hit, Axis AI stopped attacking completely, withdrew to shorter frontlines and in front of Moscow prepared for defense in-depth, having 4-5 hexes full of units to prevent me from trying ...
