Allies have a much more complex set of strategies to deal with the Axis. You have to a better player I think to play them effectively. It's much easier to smash and grab as the Axis(but playing them is not forgiving with too many errors) 1 lost city can mean the game.

I 2nd this point of view...

My best opponents never let up pressure in the West. I suppose figuring out the best way to keep pressure in the West takes a little bit of calculation. At my best Axis(most best opponents went in '45 too) 1 Berlin stood till the last turn the other it fell. When I was playing regularly!

Warfare and experience, equipment and leadership have many contributing factors both good and bad. Schools, doctrines of the nation and innovation as well as Money.

The Third Reich was bankrupt soon by 1939 and had to continually roll conquests in order to fund their Vampire Economy which is a book ...

I played more than a patch or 2 ago vs sveint and MM, I found that the Axis depended a little on good weather and keeping Italy in ... Then also distracting the Axis as soon as possible if that was viable.

I think the battle of N.Africa/Atlantic should be vital instead of the constant Normandy ...

During the war supply bottlenecks really killed certain armies.

Rails, Roads were essential during Barbarossa/Russian Counter Offensives, North Africa, the D-Day Drive. Getting cold weather clothing, ammo, fuel to the front was so hard during Typhoon. The Russians lost nearly double the men to ...

Alvaro, I remember back when a partner I was in business with stole clipart and used it and nobody really did anything about it. He must of made tens of thousands of dollars off that clipart and it was all designed by someone. I also know a program I was part dev on...that had been ripped off 100s ...

Is there any design in the shop for her yet? A drawing board? I would be curious to hear what is going on...

The Italians are not so great cause the reality is they run on German Oil and if you're running Germany the way you should, Germany should be near empty on oil when she has peak armor/mech/air/naval forces around 1940-1942. You must use German Infantry to defend Italy cause Italians aren't strong ...

Weather was a hinderance and a help at times. It was great to have Summer weather for Air Power. Winterized Troops were much more common when armies realized they would also have to fight in that weather. The Desert had it's own difficulties in this regard. Hard ground with good snow is better than ...

Matrix version I tried both... I reinstalled the Matrix Version and Tried again but no cigar..


serialreg.txt

You need to copy that to the clone directory.

Literally copy paste the WarPlan game directory to like WarPlanBeta
Then copy paste the WarPlanData folder inside the 2nd directory

Do you ...

What does missing game registration file mean Alvaro?

Norway may worth the cost to keep Allied Air from entering the Baltic/Danish Straits and Copenhagen German.

That's a supply base there... 1 of 2 Helsinki being the second. Of course if you collapse it doesn't much matter...

Yeah, I can understand certain game features are hard to implement post release.

I had a game vs sveint where he invaded Greece/Bulgaria with the British. He placed all his Infantry and Armor along the Balkan Mountain Ranges. He did this to pin 10-15 Units. I was curious why not push? His entire ...

The German Atlantic Ports all can be hit by air ... Pretty effectively and it's not very cost effective in transferring the u-boats to and from the baltic over 3 turns which it takes to get them operational in either theater(a loop would be nice and for the Med-Atlantic). U-boats could operate just ...

-1 corp per turn is quite brutal on the Germans at this point in the game... Also now Nirosi will have to contend with keeping his West region covered, his Air War in the west at least even and continue to hold the Soviets from pushing too easily too quickly (and destroying too much)

I really love ...

Been gone since 2021 what I've noticed since:

The retreat/surrender/overrun rules:

You rarely get units destroyed allowing for awkward strategies. For instance you don't invade Holland cause you don't have to and it wastes resources/effectiveness ... Germany doesn't have to worry about this so why ...

History is fitting a bit, to Warplan. Though really it's a bit tough to implement on the scale we're in.

Haven't really seen Strato Bombers work well. Doesn't appear that the cost to benefit ratio is there. Nor the damage to the German Economy. Unlike the Cat and Mouse U-boat War you don't get the ...

I have had 5-6-7 instances of it. Look for Exponential Damage taken from attacking Infantry of any kind where you get an impossible number of casualties. Like 17 against a 1 HP near dead Div or 30-65 against an Infantry Corp.

I took more screenies of it and I have never seen it till the new patch ...

Seen this for the 5th time myself. Always attacking an infantry unit. Unreal results... Some sort of bug with the no retreat feature? Or Multiplier on defense I assume? Make sure to watch your battle results folks and tell your opponent if they care to know.
