<t> That brings me back to my original observation. for which I would appreciate your feedback. My view is that AI's strategy is just not good enough, so a reasonably competent human opponent can actually win a 1943 scenario, playing the Germans (which I don't think would have been possible in ...

<r> Finally, the situation in the North. <br/>
Screenshot attached. <br/>
<br/>
At the start of the scenario, I withdrew the Finnish forces to a more defensible line and away from the Red Army's supply sources. <br/>
I had concluded that Leningrad could not be captured, so there was no point ...

<r> Moving North:<br/>
<br/>
The screenshot shows 4th Army (north of 8th Army) & 3rd Panzer Army (South of 16th Army). <br/>
3rd Panzer initially was tasked with reducing the length of the front between the junction of itself and 16th Army (where it was most vulnerable. This was done and in the ...

<r> Centre continued....<br/>
<br/>
The current position of the Front - 4th Panzer, 2nd Army, 9th Army and 8th Army (turn 48) is shown in the following screenshot. <br/>
These armies have done most of the fighting. For the first 15 turns, they have worn down Red Army attacks and the Panzer corps ...

<r> At the centre of the front, I had declined to do battle at Kursk. I've explained the consequent repositioning of 1st Panzer Army.<br/>
Similarly, 9th Army withdraws from the Orel sailent and occupies a reduced frontage, West of river lines. This is a screenshot - from turn 18, (but represents ...

<r> Moving towards the Centre: <br/>
(Attached screenshot of 1st Panzer Army and Det Kempf). <br/>
<br/>
1st Panzer Army, pivots about 120 degrees, and locates itself between Det Kempf and the Northern part of 6th Army - North of the Dnieper bend, placing itself as far as possible, West of river ...

<r> Continuing where I left off: <br/>
<B><s>[b]</s>The South<e>[/b]</e></B> (lower Dneiper). (attached screenshot)<br/>
<br/>
As soon they become unfrozen (turn 4), 17th Army abandons the Kuban bridgehead and the Crimea and moves West of the Dnieper (the area between the coast and Zaparozhye ...

Hi<br/>
<br/>
What where your levels of the AI, to get half decent game you need 110%+ on Moral. Thats so you get a more realistic game, no wonder the Ai struggled.<br/>
<br/>
Joel recomends these settings and I must concur with him ...

<t> Command changes: <br/>
<br/>
Right at the beginning, I appointed Von Kluge as head of OKW. This automatically puts Guderian in charge of AG Centre (which is what I wanted). That saves me Admn points. <br/>
Army group A (Von Kliest) was dissolved. This gives Manstein (commanding AG south ...

<r> Hi Everyone, <br/>
This is my first post. I've had this game for a couple of months now - find it addictive. I've tried the smaller scenarios - won the Leningrad, Minsk, Smolensk and Kiev and have now attempted a full campaign (my previous attempt lasted a dozen turns, but made too many newbie ...
