RE: highest difficulty not so difficult?

<t> Well, here we are a year later and I must say I am unhappy with the Legends AI. And that's a shame because the system is rich and abundant with deep detail, so primed to be a classic. But I must play the game for the journey not the challenge. Perhaps Shadows will improve it. Time will tell. <br...

RE: The most important thing to fix WitE's playability

<t> <br/> [quote]ORIGINAL: gradenko_2000<br/> <br/> Wouldn't you need a historical 1941 for a historical 1942 to develop? I don't think the Germans would have been able to launch a second campaign season as successfully as they did if the Soviets didn't lose so many troops in 41 in the first place.<...

It reveals your great care and nurturing of a game system that you all take when approaching history, its details and gaming. And that is a common virtue most of us seem to share......an hono...

RE: Achtung (Missing) Panzers !

<t> Thanks. It's all good. <br/> <br/> This explains a significant part of my frustration at tank force structure losses. Under your definitions, Pavel, the Ib's, IIc's, IIIe's, 35 t's and the sIG33's are all going to have chances to lose additional tanks to "scrapping". This fills in another missin...

<t> At long last, other than Leningrad, he has offered you a bigger pocket opportunity around Sumy from his pocket breaking counterattack. Here's when you may be able to create an even bigger pocket as he lunges forward and has thined out his flanks. As you observed, your panzers have sufficient mov...

Here's another possibility as well. <br/> <br/> What about keeping it at one to one thru Jun '42 and then changing the Russian odds required to 2-1 in June '42 and 2.5 or 3-1 in June '43 when huge artiilery numbers and corps creation give the Soviets the offensive in...

Maybe the blizzard has somethin to do with these results. I smell Russian supermen maybe.
But 400+ AA firing on thirteen attacks ?
