I'm playing your mod, and added a house rule to not send any units except scripted to NA until Afrika Corps arrive.

Much tenser! Very fun.

I do see like 4 Italian HQ...not sure how they afforded so many!

Cool!

I've actually tried a few games without difficulty level to try to get a grasp on what a human player would really have on offer in pbem. I'm sure I have other horrible habits, too.

How long does pbem take? Say I have only one hour every 2-3 days. Will that work?

Allied aircraft able to destroy a German tank in 1940?

No wonder he's not happy, but the morale hit Pvt. Benjamin could make that possible.

I am playing against the Allies AI, and they took over Syria when I was fighting in NA. When I liberated Syria, I received some Vichy unit.

That's not quite the same, is it?

Like getting socks and ties for Xmas

This is not so much a surprise once you are an old man. [:D][:D][:D]

The tip about the malus of swamps is very useful!

You can even use fighters to attack a HQ in a swamp and get a chance for damage. Soviet HQ near Leningrad on a swamp hex.

I use the NATO counters because of that exact issue! The 3D models are cool, but I'm not so good at telling them apart.

<t> Thought:<br/>
<br/>
The Germans had zero units in France.<br/>
<br/>
Why would supply be at scorched earth levels?<br/>
<br/>
In real life, if Germany had zero occupation troops in France, and the allies walked in, I would not expect supply to be low. Who's blowing bridges and wrecking ...

<t> This may not be a true, AAR, but I lost last night to the AI.<br/>
<br/>
I was playing on the hardest settings as Allies, but let the AI control the Soviets.<br/>
<br/>
The Axis took out all 3 Soviet cities in 1942, and I thought I could maybe save the Soviet bacon, but no.<br/>
<br ...

Thanks for the tip!

I have not personally done this yet, but rail lines are what allow op moves, so if you could remove the rail lines at certain junctures, they can't move past those, no?

My thought was if Vichy exists, Spain only has the one rail line through Bordeaux. quite a choke point.

Germans have air units in Tunisia, but he's not said Algeria has been attacked.

I'm learning a lot from this AAR!

Make sense to me.

Stalingrad must be the fortified location.

He's happy to see no fortifications around Moscow?

Forts?

How well does AA in forts with units with AA work?

Do they increase damage cumulatively?

He means their ability to wipe out an army from the air.

"like nukes."

Swapping units allows the unit to move a bit and can still be upgraded or reinforced.

<t> I think Sugar's main strategy past NA is to grind the Soviets down by attrition: wipe out more MPPs than you lose yourself, and slowly, inexorably take the main cities.<br/>
<br/>
Then its a simple paradrop into London after a turn or two of operating units.<br/>
<br/>
I made that sound so ...
