Old WitP player, coming back to this great game after discovering latest patch that makes it playable on Win 11.
Looking for Allied player that can make long dedication for this game. Can do 1 turn per day most of the time.
I would like to play new scenario #2 with following settings:

Fog of War ...

Looking for intermediate/experienced Soviet opponent for GC No Early end campaign.
Setting (but opened for other suggestions): Would also add:
No Ground Attack ADs except Axis T1.

If interested PM me pls.

<t> I personally found Romanian units useful to some degree. Beside (obvious) use for Soviet Garrison, I use them in sieges (Odessa, Sevastopol and similar) with some German units too. They can also hold front well in winter, if supplied and in forts 2/3...even better as support (stack) to under ...

<t> What Loki said...go after as much soviet divisions in 1941 and '42 as you can. If you keep pocketing and destroying them, summer of '42 can be still good offensive for Germans (I took Leningrad and Moscow in summer '42), winter of '42 is much easier to handle, and by summer of 1943 Soviet ...

It would have added some complexities had we not picked a definite switchover point, and we felt it was not worth allocating the time/resources to deal with them.

Perfectly valid explanation, thank you.<br ...

Because the Allies are about to be on the mainland of Europe, and thus the Soviets will no longer surrender no matter what the situation?

<br/>
In general, this is a good explanation.<br/>
However, I think it ...

<t> In my experience (played one campaign against Soviet AI up to July 1943), it pays to keep forcing Soviet units to surrender, as much as you can.<br/>
That way you keep Red Army not to grow too big and after December 42 you can actually start lowering Soviet army total numbers.<br/>
In July ...

known bug and will be sorted when it can be. Basically the routine checks for initiative before it checks VP against win conditions. This is probably the only turn where that causes a problem as in every other instance they are the ...

<t> I wonder what is a reason behind not having possibility just to do bombardment (by artillery) attacks?<br/>
It would be logical one could do only bombardment while doing long siege of city fort(s), which can provide insanely combat bonus rendering any deliberate attack against it to effectively ...

Historically the Soviets lost 6 million killed and captured by the end of 1942 and still had around 6 million at the front.

I'm at November 15th 1942, and here are the stats (Soviet AI on Normal).<br ...

<t> So...I'm playing as Germans (1941 campaign, soviet normal AI) and by September 1942 I have inflicted 7.8M soviet casualties (roughly 3.8M captured and 2.2m killed).<br/>
And yet, they still can keep their army at around 5M and on my last turn 480k reserves were released to "defend motherland ...

<t> What other say, best way to learn is to play it through.<br/>
In my case it took 2-3 times to go through '41 winter as Germans, to get a good grasp what need to be done from late august '41 onward to avoid sudden death and prepare for winter months.<br/>
In my current game I finally got ...
