It used to work for me then I updated the game to .72 and it stopped. Not looking for units.png file.

More input: I deleted all the .png files from the campaign folder and the game would not start (error). replaced everything EXCEPT units.png and it WOULD start. SO it’s getting the units from somewhere else.

EDITED: reloaded game and now just fine. Sorry for false alarm.

Anyone else having this problem? Updated to .72 and I no longer have the cool map and units. I’ve recopied all the .png files into the campaign folder, to no avail. Help!

Playing two games of ‘41 back to back, and in both games Axis ran out of oil in September. What do you do now as Axis?

<t> So as Axis I’ve cut off Leningrad, which has a tough fortified mech unit in garrison, from any form of supply and communication, including linking up with the Finns east of Lake Ladoga. Is Leningrad a source of supply by itself for the garrison, so I need to dig it out through assault, or will ...

<t> This is my dilemma. One of the great strengths and successes of the game design is precisely that blitzkrieg and pockets are possible, and I’ve probably encircled 20-30 units in Barbarossa in the first three months. I’m not familiar enough with the history to know how long it took the Axis to ...

Playing Barbarossa and successfully pocketing large numbers of Soviets. But they are hard to eliminate. Do they eventually die from lack of supply or are they more likely to surrender?

<t> Experimenting with the Axis navy, I found that if I park my surface fleet close to Scapa Flow I destroy 40/80/160 “stockpile” supplies per turn based on a 3/2/1 hex range respectively. Is this up to 160 supplies really destroyed from the Allied stockpile? That seems huge, and much more ...

<t> This is helpful. Now on Allied strategic bombing, Does damage permanently reduce Axis production rate (amount produced per turn) or is it a one-shot, single turn effect? I did a test and scored 4 damage but production only went down by 2. Does it increase or recover naturally?<br/>

Thanks. I was thinking about Axis subs in the Atlantic. I put one on each of the two convoy routes going west and south from Scotland, in raider mode, yet see no combat results. Also, how do you see how many merchantman you have as Allies?

Thanks

<t> Apologies for asking a dumb question, but I am having difficulty knowing if sub and strategic bombing campaigns are having effect, and the balance of damage done to losses incurred doing it. I don’t see combat reports for sub activity (showing merchants sunk), or strategic bombing (in terms of ...

Any guidance on the odds of gaining support through intimidation? How far do they shift? And any factors that influence it? For example, are countries already leaning towards you more or less likely to tilt further in your direction?

Sorry for giant jpg image. Can’t figure out how to make it small.

<r> Hmmm, only my first game and only reached May 1940, but blitzkrieg in France is certainly not WW1!<br/>

<t> So I read on another thread that Italy should amphibiously invade Greece. In my first game as Axis I carefully built 3 Marines and enough landing craft. I declared war on Greece and to my horror discovered its a 5 strength corps defending Athens. I assumed it would be a nominal defense. How ...

That’s great. So to be clear, if you don’t use fleets, air, armor the usage should be zero? What causes the need for upkeep expense for oil?

Thanks

It’s late ‘39 and both UK and France are out of oil. How does this happen? Upkeep exceeds production plus imports? How can I remedy.

Thanks

Last Question; for the Allies - after landing and beginning Sicilian conquest are the Amphib TFs best put back into African ports to begin prep for Italy or put in the Sicilian Ports and launch from there?

I think they prep much faster in ...

<t> Benghazi was priority 4. I have flown in supply to that and other airports but often find the constraint that there is insufficient supply at the source airfield (Tripoli). I have tried the scenario multiple times since, and Benghazi did receive supply each time, so perhaps an odd combination of ...
