Re: Maintaining Offensive Momentum


If you are out of CPP as Germans and Soviets are out of CPPs why rest to get CPPs? Keep on attacking as Germany you have the advantage:-)


If we are just talking about CPPs then the answer to this is that CPPs only multiply the offensive CV and not the defensive CV. So ignoring all other factors ...

Re: Perpetual Desolation - HLYA (German) vs a Soviet Player


Turn 5


How long should one have to take turns before it is considered a forfeited game? Post in the AAR please.


I think a lot of the old Wite1 aars had a 30 day forfeit HR.

It's about communication though really isn't it. Obviously sometimes RL gets in the way of sending turns back quickly ...

Re: The Sky’s the Limit- PBEM GC 41 jubjub (Axis) vs. M60A3TTS (Soviet)



How do you have your ground support allocated? On the face of it it seems like you might be better off committing twice as many planes to half as many battles. For me fighting the LW at 1:1 odds is just going to give their pilots free XP?

Re: Who ruined this game so much?

Like Wiedrock said - armored divisions that have not already changed to brigades because of destruction/depletion will change on T32 (25/01/42). So if you are in December you should see that happen pretty soon.

Re: Exploit or no. You decide

I vote no exploit.

WITE1s air war was IGOUGO within the the ground phase. So it was possible to spam missions until you could tell that the opposition was out of fuel/ammo and then cause lots of damage.

I'm not really sure what the difference is between setting up a mission like this one and a bog ...

Re: Axis Beginner for GC needed

Ok, sounding pretty good so far!

Just a few thoughts about game setup

1) My preference would be PBEM - it means you keep your old turns for future reference, you can access your last turn whilst the opponent does theirs which can speed play up, you don't have to be connected to the Internet to ...

Re: Axis Beginner for GC needed

How quickly are you aiming to play?

I'd potentially be interested and it would be my first PBEM campaign so the level seems about right, but with being busy at work and having a young child I couldn't really commit to a fast pace of play. I'd be looking at returning a turn in 7-10 days (obvs ...

Hi Fred,

A lot of people pick up games off Discord now I think - this is the link to what I think is the biggest WITPAE community on there.

Re: Does the Turn 1 South Front Activation work?

They'll stay frozen. On your screenshot can you see the red triangle saying T1 S Front Activation? That is the top left hand/northwestern corner of the 'box' representing the activation zone.

What was the Axis HWM in the end? Do you think you can avoid that last auto victory check? Where do you think jubjub will make more of a stand?

Unable to save to MP server

Hi there, playing a server game and I lost my internet connection temporarily. I reconnected but am now unable to save my game - I get 6: User not logged in Login error

Is there anyway to log back into the server remotely so that I can save?

Re: Where's the Axis AI Luftwaffe?



To return to the O/P - the AI leaves a little to be desired, especially in terms of it playing the Axis in 41. One issue, which I think is what you are seeing, is the AI is very reluctant to move its planes forwards into marginal supply situations. So it will wait a long time for the logistics ...

Re: Where's the Axis AI Luftwaffe?


Even if you were to play against a player, by how the air war is structured (very poorly), so long a front is mobile the Luftwaffe fails to keep up.

Since the Air Phase is before the ground phase, an 'Air Superiority' mission needs to be done from an airfield already controlled.
If the Bf109 do ...
