<r> Playing Russia for a few games in a row, I'm curious about tips / tactics for defending against the German onslaught.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
The opening attack / shock effect in particular is one I haven't found anything to do about. Do you just stick with oceans of Inf Divs and throw them out ...

<t> Playing as Russia solo and using the Swatter Mod, my game eventually ('40 or '41) reaches a point where the save games corrupts and won't proceed any further. When this happens, the game crashes and gives a Runtime Error R 6025,:Pure Virtual Function Call (or something like that).<br/>
<br ...

<t> Heh - unless the Finns are already at war with the Russians. Then they don't want to talk to me (instead of 70 DP, something more like 105 to shift them). AND I've lost access to the north through Finland due to the Russians wandering all over the landscape up North. Sigh - it's gonna be a long ...

<t> Heya Lrfss,<br/>
<br/>
Here's an idea for you - a way to approximate 150 tech points to generate a tech advance. In my latest '39 campaign, I've decided to restrict myself to at most 2 light bulbs in tech. That will correspond directly to a 150 level tech. Of course - I get it with 2 bulbs ...

<r> From what I can tell, Finland will join the Axis after being leaned on 3 times (starts at 10, and gains around 35 each time). With early DP gains from successes over France and others, I've been able to lean on them once, save up enough to do so a second time, and about 50 DP to go for a 3d ...

<r> re: sea transport and amphibious units. I think I figured out the deal with the port to port move being useful for sear transport. Seaborne units get to move 2 sea spaces at a time. So as long as you have a port - sea - port sequence, you'll be able to move your troops direct from port to port ...

If I read one of the Time of Fury screenshots correctly, it looked to me like the developers agreed with your second assertion that tech research was going too fast; the screenshot had you accumulating 150 tech points instead of 100 to get a tech level.

<r> For anybody new who ends up reading down this thread, here's what I learned about game mechanics after my first pass through the game on easy mode - hopefully these learnings will be helpful to others. (Some is definitely my opinion based on all of 1 game's experience <E>:D</E>)<br/>
<br/>
<br ...

<t> I guess one key learning out of this is that blitzkrieg works great when you can drive there - not so great when you gotta swim!<br/>
<br/>
I'm about done with my 'learning game', designed to learn game mechanics.&nbsp; The one remaining area I feel weak in are the amphibious assaults.&nbsp ...

<r> Couple of questions as I'm making my way through my first grand campaign and learning game mechanics that I'm hoping somebody can help me with.<br/>
<br/>
From another thread, I found the <tab> key for cycling through units with unused AP. That's handy. To make it more useful, is there a sleep ...
