Re: Tips for players

That's an interesting idea. I do try setting it to Priority, but my usual method is to send a Pzgr regiment from 12th SS. Just to hold things together until 3rd Pzgr arrives. Also the two Stug units from the neighboring Korps and any emergency units I can make. I've tried sending the entire 12thSS ...

Re: Political Point Allocation!


Playing WaR as Germans I always have not enough PP points for what I'd like to do. It seems designed like this.


Yes, you have to make tough choices as the German, unless things go unusually well. As the Allies, I found I had more points than I could use, at least in the early turns. I would use ...

Re: Tips for players


Be careful guy's you are not gaming the system! I can see the US Army being this flexible but not the Germans! Word to the wise.


If I played a human opponent, I would be conservative and reality-minded (although I'd say you're wrong about the Germans' flexibility). I would play by mutually ...

Re: Replacements going to the "wrong" units


Interesting post here, and like the way the OP handles it. He may be slightly annoyed, but keeps his tongue in cheek.



Not really annoyed, just a little bemused, and curious about the game mechanics. It's just a game, and I can usually find the humor in the silly actions by the computer. I bet ...

Re: Tips for players

Great ideas. You can do a lot of thinking "outside the box" in this game. There's usually a way around a particular restriction.

I tried to use the emergency units to fill up frontline units, but had trouble keeping to the 50-pt minimum. Solution: combine two or more such units, then go around and ...

Replacements going to the "wrong" units

I've seen a few quirks with the replacement system. Replacements do get up to the front, but often to the "wrong" units. Some examples: I've seen Pz IV battalions receive Panthers and once a Tiger, and the 501st receive a Pz IV and a Stug. The 501st itself is another problem. It was an SS unit (the ...
