We played two server games head-to-head, with each playing both sides. Using the .45 patch, we both found the Ge infantry (and hence Axis overall) come to a slow grind by start 42 and we resigned the games.

Game 1 - 1941 Grand Campaign – No early end
Axis - Don77
Soviet – Blucher007
Both very ...

Hi,

In the above scenario, T1, as the Soviets, in the air phase if one attempts to allocate an air directive to the Southern Front (ie the front is not active I think?) - i get the message 'AOG not found' and CTD. Has anyone else seen that?

Don77

thanks for the update - please keep us informed, we all want to support the team and enjoy the products

Hi Matrix,

Its now been 48 hours since the server went down - can we please get an update status and ETA/resolution?

Don

<t> And us in Australia too - now over a day of no connection. <br/>
<br/>
The server 'times out' - one presses PBEM++ OnLine, the icon goes to thinking mode (circle/timer etc) and then nothing - nothing happens, the screen goes blank if you move the mouse away, and then offers 'wait' or 'close ...

Hi,

This evening (06 Aug 19 from 0800 Zulu to 1000 Zulu inclusive) the game won't connect to the PBEM server. And still won't.

I am on the steam version,

Don

<t> Lo,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the prompt reply, I am really looking forward to this game.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Yes, tried reloading on two separate days. <br/>
I did a verify files through Steam - game - properties - local files tab.<br/>
<br/>
We are both on steam. I have the base version, he ...

<r> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Getting back into PC-RS - and in my first PBEM I am now not able to load the file?<br/>

<t> G'day<br/>
<br/>
Apologies for needing to confirm a rule, Rule 15.8 doesn't seem to state an end date?<br/>
- does the 2:1 Sov rule have an end date? I thought it only applied in 41?<br/>
- will the proposed patch 1.08 be binary for 2:1/1:1 (ie lasts all game) and/or have an end date<br ...

<t> Hmm,,<br/>
<br/>
Aren't the conflicting demands are between history and player actions. <br/>
- the Russians did historically make headway in 41, and the 2-1 rule enables that<br/>
- with a mild blizzard, and no natural advantage, won't the Russians be less aggressive in defence in 41?<br ...

<t> G'day,<br/>
<br/>
Firstly, great news about the 1.08 patch and all the hard work people have put in on forums and behind the scenes to make this good game even better - love your work. <br/>
<br/>
I have really enjoyed this game for many years now (yup, years) and many hours(don't ask how ...

<t> G'day,<br/>
<br/>
So based upon the conversation above and what we do (or do not) know about the next patch; what should the list of 'standard' Settings and House Rules be for a new Grand Campaign game?<br/>
<br/>
Please see my wider question (and add any responses) on the main forum page ...

<t> G'day all,<br/>
<br/>
Can I ask peoples' opinions, what settings and house rules would be appropriate under the proposed 1.08 patch? I see two categories<br/>
settings - do people have an opinion what makes for a balanced game?<br/>
house rules - specific agreements for a 'better game'<br ...

<t> G'day,<br/>
<br/>
GC, random weather, HQ Lock, Full FoW, latest patch. Server (ie without reloads).<br/>
<br/>
I am happy to consider any house rules, and as a start to use Sapper222's suggestions <br/>
1. Max Number attack one hex - 5 (include bombing) <br/>
2. Airdrop - min 30 transports ...

<t> heya mate,<br/>
<br/>
Bad luck about the gf, good for the computer and game time though. I am interested to play Sov for a server game. I haven't played any 'forum' matches but do count myself as reasonably experienced, having played since the game came out (which is why I too have almost lost ...

<t> Charlie,<br/>
<br/>
A subtlety is you can allocate 7 or 8 rifle divisions and use the spare capacity for 2 to 4 rifle brigades. This assumes you'll only fill your armies to 18CP - which is the final Army command limit. This gives you one army coverage of 3 hexes wide by 2-3 hexes deep per army ...

<t> Guards Units<br/>
<br/>
Another impact of the currently high Sov morale - getting Guards status is quicker, and of greater volume. I am at T16 (playing Ge) against a good opponent, and the Sovs now have close to 20 Guards Rifle Divs. This may be directly from combat victories, or though better ...

<t> Good points Janh,<br/>
<br/>
Good analysis and logic. I can only say that perhaps my example was poor, but I would still contend that Sov strength (driven by morale?) is too high for 41. At this rate, the Sov's won't need Red Army 2.0 (to quote Flav et al) to beat the Ge back and well in ...

<r> And the second attack<br/>

I'd agree with Michael T - I am playing another CG and have found that the Sov units are now sufficiently strong that the Ge offensive requires more concentration at the main effort, and more economy of force elsewhere. In our ...
