Thanks CapnDarwin. Such a great game but does suffer from lack of ability for units to operate with any independence since it assumes all orders, even small ones, come from on high.

In real life I'd give command "go down this road and destroy everything you can until someone stops you". But I can't ...

I am really, really getting sick of ~30+ minute delays for NATO units to do the simplest things. NATO units have somediscretion so why do we assume every order comes down from above? I would expect my local units to make low level decision, like having my local units to press an attack when things ...

LarryF, thanks for the comments. I also have Road to Moscow on my 'bookshelf'. And I loooooove TOAW so it's not like I am leaving it. Actually, all I play is TOAW & Battlefront's Combat Mission WW2 games. I'll hold off on grigsby's game & give this a go.

<t> Thanks for the input Larry Hellen & Gliz2. I suppose the correct answer to my question is "play a human, dummy!" I also thought of picking up Grigsby's war in the east, hoping it has better AI response. I loved this east front game from long ago. Early 90s or some such? For now I'll hold off on ...

Hi Larry, I am slowly working my way toward tackling D21. Is the PO good enough to make it a solid challenge most of the way through if I am german? Russian? I saw some comments on the other current D21 thread and it said had to help the PO sometimes

Roger that, thanks LarryF. I switch between Battlefront's Combat Mission & this game and was looking for a nice summer overrunning France (I hope)

<t> Hey all, looking forward to playing this one, but have been put off in the past by the confusing beginning. It says June 5. Am I supposed to do something a day early? I wish this started with the troops on shore, but I don't want to give up just because the beginning is confusing. Anyone know ...

Great input, thanks everyone. I think I'll start w the bite-size Road To Moscow series and then one of the big ones mentioned.

Hey folks, I was looking to tackle the eastern front which I haven't done since Gary Grigsby game from 1990s. Any opinions on best east front scenario vs PO? I want to play as germans first then as soviets another time.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Dan

I just gotta do this one! thanks for sharing!

<t> Hey all, thanks for the input. I have gone back to both these Normandy campaigns, using the first few days to train myself. Holy Moly I am flat out terrible at this game! I wasn't using the combat planner well at all. Only now do I realize it predicts the number of combat cycles as the combat is ...

Roger that Mr Lemay. I'll go there after I get stuck. Don't wanna cheat. [;)]

<t> Thanks very much, Curtis Lemay!<br/>
<br/>
I now see what I did wrong, in general -- I didn't exploit depth of beachhead to give myself room. but to do that I need to do better management of time & resources. Great! I really want to get into the bocage battles and beyond, and when day 1 went ...

Thanks for this sPzAbt653. I had just posted asking if anyone knew a good normandy campaign. [:)] Just started. I like the scale.

ooops, just saw another thread about Bocage Hell, it might be just what I was looking for! Thanks to the author of that fine-looking campaign!

<t> Hey folks, I picked up TOAW4 recently, having only played it a little ~20 years ago. I love it! Had great time w NorthAfrica campaign & 2 Weeks in Normandy. <br/>
<br/>
Now having trouble finding next scenario (me vs PO). I have been trying the various Normandy campaigns but no success -- they ...
