RE: WitE 2

Great news I might have a go at some point, although I suspect it would be a lot of effort. Would it be possible to outline the steps required? I would hate to spend hours and hours only to find that I needed to do something different or to find that I had crashed the game

RE: WitE 2

<t> Would it be possible to build WitE2 in such a way that it is easier for the players to experiment more with what if scenarios such as the make up of the OOB? I would like to take the historic equipment/leaders and build my own units, corps and armies, deploy them on the map where I wanted and ...

RE: Game Suggestions:

<t> Can we have colouration to distinguish between different corp? Corp colours would be more useful than army colours and would save a lot of time. I note in previous discussions in this thread that there aren't enough colours available, so there might be some duplication. But it would surely be ...

RE: War in the East Q&A

<t> Question about Finnish rail. <br/>
<br/>
Would I be right to say that the Finns use broad gauge rail same as the Russians? If so why do the rail lines need to be converted when captured by Finnish units in the far north?&nbsp; I could understand if they were occupied by Russian units and were ...

RE: Tactics for Newbs

<t> Klydon, interesting. I wonder why all of the Finnish lines have to be converted in the game if they used the same gauge as the russians?<br/>
<br/>
Getting back to tactics, now that I have experienced the Finns and AGN I was thinking about trying one of the AGS scenarios before trying the full ...

RE: Tactics for Newbs

<t> Now you mention it johntoml56 that sounds like a very good idea. I had noticed that there was the odd ton or two of fuel to be hoovered up during overruns but as you say its not realy needed by the infantry.<br/>

I just finished my second Leningrad game against the AI and won decisively ...

RE: Tactics for Newbs

Thanks I hadn't thought of that I will add it to the growing list of things to check. I think I worked it out in the end - none of the groupen would fly because none of them had more than 50% strength so they were grounded by my air doctrine setting.

RE: Tactics for Newbs

<t> OK so now I have another issue. I'm tring to do some fuel air drops but only managed 36 tons from 2 units the rest don't want to join in! Any ideas what the problem might be?<br/>
<br/>
It's the start of a new turn so no airbases or air units have moved.<br/>
The airbases are within 5 hexes ...

RE: Tactics for Newbs

<t> Thanks, for the advice. So it would appear that my strategy would not work as the Russians can supply the city through the woods. Although they can't move factories, the cross country route has to be less than 30 hexes and axis controled hexes prevent tracing of supply.<br/>
<br/>
I think I ...

There are 3 small ports east of Leningrad you have to take, if you take them then Leningrad is out of supply. The city hole should fall in 3 or 4 turns.

Tactics for Newbs

<t> After a fair amount of reading and some messing about with the tutorial, I thought I had a good basic grasp of the game and that I ought to try the road to Leningrad scenario with me playing the Axis against the computer to get a feel for larger scale operations. <br/>
<br/>
So I powered up ...
