Defending Barbarossa

Played my first Allied game (vs standard AI) and Barbarossa was an unmitigated disaster. I was able to push the Axis out of NA, neutralized the Italian and German navies, and landed in Sicily, but I just could not hold off the Germans in the east. I set up defenses around Leningrad and Moscow, with ...

Naval scouting in SP?

How do you go about scouting naval targets, particularly as an Axis that has invested heavily into Navy for a Sea Lion? Is this a good use case for maritime bombers or is this something DDs should be tasked with?

This would be for SP, so please don't tell me if the AI just keeps its ships in ...

Re: italian war strategy?

I'm also a fairly new player, so I would defer to more experienced players and take this advice with a grain of salt.

I also started out playing only Italy to learn the basic mechanics and what worked for me was sending two HQ, the tank division on the French border, and two armies down to Libya ...

Re: Invasion of Poland and France (and general axis warplan)

Amazing tips everyone. Managed to take France in just 6 turns (closed off a large northern pocket, so it might have just been lucky) and I'm regularly getting Poland in 3 turns. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions when I fall flat on my face trying to invade the Soviets.

Also, is it generally ...

Re: Invasion of Poland and France (and general axis warplan)

Very helpful. I was definitely neglecting command and S&I. I'll try adding those into my initial research investments.

Re: Invasion of Poland and France (and general axis warplan)

Very useful tips taxman, thank you! I'll try adding an extra HQ and replacing one with Manstein and see if I can squeeze out an extra med bomber for the France invasion.

If I could ask another question, what research is generally recommended first for Germany? I've been taking chits off of anti ...

Invasion of Poland and France (and general axis warplan)

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I'm struggling with pacing in my invasions of Poland and France. These have all been games against the standard AI.

I see that Poland should ideally fall in 2 turns, but I'm usually taking 3-4 to close them out. Similarly, I'm getting bogged down around ...
