RE: What ERA are you?

There defintly seems a good mix. I mus5 say I've been trying to play stuff that isn't usually covered much in other games. I've just finished danzig corridor and really like that scale so I'll look for something similar.

What ERA are you?

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
After successfully losing many scenarios across all the different eras that this game covers I was thinking if people played mainly a certain era or conflict that they know or that their skills suit. I've had much more success in WW1 operations than WW2 and don't think I've ...

RE: 2 major complaints

<t> Maybe somewhere in-between production and the current production that we have where we could influence production, especially in larger scenarios. Something along the lines of prioritise tank production so that you get more tank replacements that are needed instead of loads of planes sitting ...

Operation Goodwood

I'm just about to start operation Goodwood and was wondering if anyone had any tips. I'm looking to get better at attacking and doing so in the most efficient way. All help appreciated!

Many thanks.

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> Why can't I stop these planes! Easily over 100 shot down each turn yet still they come! Again I have tried a few attacks and nothing is sticking really. I am very concerned about the airborne troops, the Germans are struggling to contain the 1st round of the 2nd drop never mind the next one. <br ...

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> Well that para drop has really put a spanner in the works. I was hoping to hold out a bit longer but that has threatened the entire flank as nothing really available to stop them until the Cherbourg line. The SS troops that got the train up to Lessay will counterattack where possible and if I am ...

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> I thought I would try some different tactics over the next few turns to see what works and what doesn't. Direct air attacks I am not sold on but INT missions and air superiority seems to be getting me more what I'm wanting. Although I am playing to win it still is very much a learning experience ...

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> Well there are 118 less allied aircraft now. How quickly do they make these flying machines because they are getting really frustrating. Another frustration I am having is trying to use units correctly in the correct situations and terrain. A bit more forward planning perhaps.<br/>

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> Another turn of moving freely was great. Checking battle results it seems my AA is doing its bit in battles and my own planes as well are shooting things down I think which is helpful. I'm becoming a little bolder with a few probing attacks against the American Paras in the north and the troops ...

RE: Am I just a terrible player?

Thanks for the information. Yes I think it takes a bit of time to get the Operational hat on rather than a tactical one.

Question for all, as far as defending rivers go am I better on the Hex or behind it?

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> The Germans are currently enjoying being able to march up and down without allied planes getting involved which is making things easier in terms of moving up troops. Still no planes of my own to speak of. I'm learning lots about proficiency though, definitely something I will take away from this ...

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> So another turn and I am amazed at how fast the allies are getting troops ashore and moving them up quickly. I've tried to blow as many bridges as possible. I might be going over the top but there you go. Reinforcements are starting to arrive so I was lucky that the air was not as full of enemy ...

RE: Snatching Victory from the Jaws of De Feet

<t> No pictures from me I'm afraid. <br/>
<br/>
So for a small start this seems quite big! Inital plan for the germans is to focus on the objectives which area at the south of the map. This should keep me away from the big naval guns and close to my supply. Moving is terrible as everything that ...

RE: Am I just a terrible player?

Another quick update, somehow I have managed to pull of an huge victory and won operation crusader. Didn't relieve Tobruk but took enough VPs to win the scenario. Thanks for the tips everyone.

RE: Am I just a terrible player?

<t> Thanks for the suggestions,<br/>

Been trying crusader again and its going slightly better. Definitely enjoying it more despite taking a beating. Supply seems to be an issue still but I don't think it being a desert location helps. I've been trying to rotate front line troops, be more on ...

Am I just a terrible player?

<t> I've played several scenarios and have had little to no overall success in any. Operation crusader was pushed back after initial success due to low supply and what felt like overwhelming numbers. Tannenberg scenario as Germany again started well but ground down to a stalemate with huge loses ...
