RE: First observations from a newbie

Just to prevent any misunderstanding:
I did not use paratroopers.

I remember using Paratroopers in HOI3.....it basically ruined the gameplay because the AI could not deal with them.

RE: First observations from a newbie

<r> Well, once I have a better understanding of all the little things (when to use supply trucks, how to limit encirclements in early Barbarossa (I am currently playing the allies in the 1941 scenario) e.t.c., I might try MP. <br/>

RE: Infantry armies and corps are hard targets?

Manual, page 20 (Section 3.6.9)

Otherwise, just browse through the map and read the properties of a few units.
Tanks are target type tank, garrisons are soft, infantry is hard.

RE: OT: US war entry

<t> Well, one could call what happened in the western part of the Atlantic shortly before Pearl Harbor an undeclared war - or, at the very least, a conflict.<br/>

I doubt that the USSR would have fallen in 1942. Lend lease was essential for the later offensives of the red army, it was ...

But I was wondering when the US might have entered the war without a direct attack in RL. Again my feeling is the US may never gone to war since they were neutral in December '41 when things really looked bad for Europe.<br/>

Starting in September 1941, the United States Navy escorted allied convoys, leading to the Greer incident (German submarine torpedoing a USN destroyer), the Kearney incident ...

I'm not sure why the Allies would want to do that anyway. They would benefit more (like in every game of this theatre) by suiciding the entire French fleet against the Italians as much as possible before France surrenders.

French fleet before Italy joins the war - shouldn't there be some restrictions?

<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
Since yesterday, I am playing SC3 (to be honest: I get constantly defeated [8|]).<br/>

I am surprised that the Allied player can move the entire French fleet out of the Med and into the Atlantic - without Mussolini getting funny ideas.<br/>

Shouldn't there be ...

RE: Screen becomes black, PC has to be rebooted

- I deinstalled my old NVIDIA rivers
- I used DriverSweeper to get rid of all leftovers of that driver
- Then, I installed the most actual (178.13) driver.

Again, many thanks for your help,
