Here is what he lost as of 9/16/41 in larger formations. Don't know if this is low or high. Mark may have been mislead by my use of garrisons as Russia, but even adding one tech level helped me quite a bit, and he hasn't done that yet.<br ...

<t> Your friend seems to make the same mistake in managing his MPP as he did in his German game .<br/>
Where are his armies ? His tanks and mechanised infantry ? He builds fortifications but there are no units Inside . Moscow defended by planes ?? <br/>
Russia can't be defended by garrisons only ...

<r> This post is an analysis of balance issues and tries especially to focus on the pre 1.05 and post 1.05 differences .<br/>
In everything below the game is played with hard caps on the number of units . All screen shots come from my PBEMs .<br/>

Against the AI it is simple – a human ...

[As the Wehrmacht prepare to cross the Soviet borders, it's curious to find the Luftwaffe concentrated in France and attempting to soften British targets across the English channel. <br/>
Naval skirmishes have ...

Russians still inf 0 . Stranger and stranger .
They "hold" the front with garrisons yet must still have plenty MPP what means that they are spending all that for Something that you don't see
Where are their tanks ?!

<t> Before 1.05 you would have already lost Leningrad and Egypt by start 42 . This is AI so you stand a bit better than what you would have against a human player .<br/>
But you would still be OK .<br/>
The bad side is that once US enters action, Axis will be hopeless because its forces will be ...

I get by this by thinking a little abstract, with the no stacking rules I just assume units' fronts overlap some. IE the units on both sides of the bomber are supporting and covering its' front while the airfield is back from the front ...

Did you find that the Axis was slowed due to the new supply rules in 1.05? Your thoughts on that.

Oh yes . Playing Allied it is the difference nbnetween day and night .<br/>
Prior to 1.05 Leningrad was ...

<r> Perhaps I wasn't clear - I have Nothing against National morale impacting the combat results even if this is a debatable issue . In reality "national moral" is a very ill defined concept .<br/>
Even in 1945 when the German "national moral" was arguably low, there were still units fighting with ...

<r> Well you are Inf 2, Pz 2, bombers 2 against Inf 0, no tanks and no planes . <br/>
Not surprising that you anihilate anything that you meet . You'll be in Moscow in September if it continues like that <E>:)</E><br/>

In Africa you were "Lucky" that it was still prior to 1.05 where the ...

<t> The Allied must plan for 1943 while the Axis generally plans for the next move .<br/>
But if an Allied doesn't loose his nerves because he looses Africa and most Russia already in 41, he can't be beaten . By 1943 he outnumbers Axis in planes and Navy while having similar techs .<br/>
There is ...

Hi Vonik,<br/>

If you can send us a screenshot next time it will help to paint a better picture as I'd need to see the numbers to understand the situation better.<br/>

<r> So in a PBEM I was retreating in order my Soviets remnants into the Ural mountains .<br/>

This is bad . Very bad .

I find the best way to deal with the Axis attempting Spain diplomacy (coupled with taking out the French) is to put your chits in other countries..like Rumania, Hungary..or Turkey.<br/>
They can have spain if I can help the Russians ...

I am pretty sure the Spanish chit limit was changed at some point, whether in BETA or after because Spain was joining too often and too easily. <br/>

<r> You did surprisingly well in the South and there is something very unnatural.<br/>
Normally the Soviets have an event where they take Bessarabia what makes an advance like what you did impossible .<br/>
Apparently your opponent missed the event or didn't take it (what would be Strange) .<br ...
