After some plays of Blue vs Grey, I came to appreciate Making Georgia Howl, the 1864 scenario, because of its brevity.

It can obviously be won easily, playing the Union, but I wonder how fast this can be done. The Confederates are pretty resilient, even in the face of defeat. I just achieved Union ...

<t> After a long break from the game, I remembered this one and decided to go on a bit.<br/>
<br/>
Now it is the summer of 1946 - and Japan ran out of enemies. <br/>
<br/>
During 1945 the Soviets sacrified wave upon wave on the German defenses along the Köningsberg- Kiev line - and the Chinese ...

Must be using diplomacy heavy.

Absolutely. Axis diplomacy is blitzing the State Department so hard, that everyone there is driving a Mercedes by now

<r> I was curious as to what would happen if the Axis will not issue one single declaration of war, ever. By extension, this ought to also prevent the US from ever entering the war.<br/>
<br/>
As the Nazis, I did not attack Belgium, the Netherlands or Norway and entered Denmark without attack ...

<r> Abd this is how it all ended in 1948, when I (ab)used the absence of all US forces to have Japanese amphibious troops invade the US from the Caribbean.<br/>
<br/>
Of course, the game is not made and the AI not designed for such a game. I was playing Japan, leaving the rest of the Axis to the ...

<r> This is how it becomes worse in 1945:<br/>

<r> I already knew that this would happen, but this time the effect has gone completely out of hand.<br/>
<br/>
As Japan, to bind the majority of US forces to the North American continent, you invade one of the port towns in Western Canada and the town immediately behind. The US (and Canada) will ...

Looks like the Steam version is out and I suspect the Matrix release of v1.17.01 should follow now shortly as well.

Sea Lion is already well underway <E>:)</E><br/>

The long range transports caught the Brits completly off guard ...

My game just updaed throuh Steam.

Unfortunately it does also affect WiE but we are just testing the release builds right now for the update/fix, so hopefully the patches will be released for WiE very soon as well if all goes well.

Ok, good ...

Did or does the bug affect LONG RANGE AMPHIP in War In Europe ? I am considering to start a Sea Lion game there and that would be a bad idea without those.

I had the most success with advancing the line beyond Verdun and besieging it with about 4 Units, taking it later.

<t> You have to be fast with Yugoslawia, because it is really frustrating to have them turn Allied by Event with you having turned them by 95%. It is even more frustrating to see them having the same number of units and partisans after you invaded them. One would think that all this diplomacy might ...

<r> As others, I found the one single British landing in the Levante quite interesting. It was easy to deal with militarily, although the troops nescessary to destroy the British unit in Aleppo required some shuffling on the Caucausus and Palestine fronts. <br/>
<br/>
To me, it felt neither ...

Quick update, you need more than just a isolated paradrop on London. I believe you need to clear the surrounding hexes too. Check the change log.

Thankfully that wasn´t nescessary due to Allied surrender ...

<t> Ok, so now I did it. In September ´44 the Allies sued for peace. I had taken Moscow still in 1943 and after that victory was certain and the game became a bit tedious, just as it was with World At War. Defense of Moscow was stiff, but as the Germans flanked them on their left, it suddenly broke ...

<t> Thank you so far for your advice. I have started a new game. This time, I have invested much more into Industrial Tech and Production. Also, I have build all my HQs. Still, I have also kept Diplomacy going, as I like those Yugoslaw troops. I have started Barbarossa with Russia at about 70%, and ...

Here are my losses, or rather, the lack thereof. I was pretty careful.

This is the purchase screen, germans only. I have purchased all units of all axis minors.

This is August 1942, the moment of my greatest expansion. Here is the research table.
