How do I ever take any city ever?

<t> Playing the Destruction of the Southwestern Front, and it's literally impossible to ever take any city. Ever. <br/>
<br/>
Kharkov, which I finally reached on turn 15, has a garrison of 43 DV. So, that's not dropping.<br/>
<br/>
Then I keep chipping away towards Dnepropetrovsk, only to find ...

RE: WITE2, GREAT Game!!!

It's the best made hex wargame I've ever encountered.

If you're a professional historian of the Eastern Front, this game should be a mandatory part of your graduate level courses.

Tips for Destruction of the Southwestern Front - Axis

<r> Hey, new player here. Having a lot of trouble with this scenario. <br/>
<br/>
It appears the rails can never be repaired fast enough to have any meaning in moving troops around.<br/>

The Soviets are somehow so entrenched in Odessa that they can't be cut off or removed, they only get <I ...

RE: Quick Questions Thread

I took Rovno with my Panzer divisions on the first turn, but they can't seem to progress very far towards Kiev on the second turn. I've done my best to move my infantry up and make sure the salient is secure, and unable to have supply lines cut off.

RE: Quick Questions Thread

Hey guys! Looking for some quick tips for the Destruction of the Southwestern Front as the Axis!

Anything you have to help is welcome!

Not a whole lot of material online for this game. Surprising to me given how well the game is made!

Key to winning the scenario is to take Minsk on T1 and minimise your losses. In combination that will get you the win.<br/>

In the campaign, the key tasks for AGC are Minsk on 1 and a firm grip on the Bialystok pocket, so the scenario ...

<t> Hey, great write up man! Much appreciated.<br/>

Despite having a history degree, I know very little about the specific operations of WWII, aside from their names. But, I have noticed a pocket at Bialystok, and I'm definitely going to try and rush Minsk this game! Thank you! <br/>

RE: Partisan Interdiction

So, just started. New player.

I'm 77 pages into the manual, just sitting with an open Intro 1 scenario to test out what I read.

It says press "8" to see supply connections. It doesn't seem to do anything at all? Do I have to be beyond turn 1?

First off, new player here. Complete neophyte to war games, 200 hours in Shadow Empire not withstanding. Decided to take the plunge last night. Any advice would be appreciated.<br/>
