Re: Total Victory

Awesome, thanks budd. I guess its about time for me to create a Steam account.

I've always wanted to play Unity of Command. I'll try it while I wait for Total Victory!

Re: Total Victory

Thanks budd and Al, appreciate the reply. I'm wondering Al if you might consider a release on some other platform other than steam?

From my understanding a steam release allows only gameplay with an internet connection, please correct if I'm wrong.
My connection seems to be interrupted on ...

Wow.....Al.... just saw the utube demo of your new game with commentary by Zilla Blitz. I remember you said you would get to the WW2 global game and I must say this looks outstanding.

Supposedly there is a demo on Steam but I'm not a steam person. Any chance you will make the game available ...

Re: Overpowered Invasions

As the USA, this is the first tech of concentration(2 chits) that I go for. Using cheap amphibs like calvary and anti-air along with a decent level of logistics, there is almost nowhere a coastal Axis unit can survive.

Hit with the cheap stuff first and follow with special forces so you can ...

Re: France conquest rules

I had always thought that this was the case, enough units on the board and the USSR would never surrender. However in a recent game in which the USSR lost all its capitals in 1944 the game continuing into 1946, to my surprise the USSR surrendered.

Actually the USSR was in a counter offensive, all ...

Re: How old are the average Wargamers here?

I believe it was 1963, first Broadside and then Dogfight from Milton Bradley. Later, like 1965 it was D-Day from AH. From then on, a gambit of others, AH and then SPI, a strategy and tactics subscription. Played by mail with some of my buddies where you used stock prices for die rolls.

Re: Elvis Gold Records

JJR just get a cheap 17 inch laptop and plug in a 32 inch monitor. SC doesn't need a Nvidia graphics card or anything expensive, just make sure you get enough RAM and a solid state disk drive. The 17 inch keyboard is big enough and you'll have portability as a bonus. Should be less than a grand!

Re: Tips for playing Allies in MP.

If you want to win as Allies, you must keep the USSR in the game.

The way to do that is build as many units as possible and retreat, do not be concerned with losing capitals.

Use the UK and USA to help build minimum corps size units, preserve those units and USSR will never surrender.

Just play the 42 High Tide scenario; no gambits, little diplomacy, no early surrenders, a real slugfest from the first turn!

Don't forget "Born on the Bayou" with many happy days down in the ole Louisiana swamps.

Now come on JJR, you've got to listen to Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft do Bittersweet Symphony in Hyde Park and then tell me they are not good?

It's OK Bill. Got to the next turn and supply was what it should be (8). This anomaly has occurred many times before, especially in Russia, I just decided to post this one, NBD!

Supply

I can't find an explanation for the supply 6 on the second HQ. This is for the future supply status, second S function after transporting Richie from Tripoli to Algiers. These are the only two HQs in the theater, both full strength.

Can US/UK stalemate Axis without USSR?

Never tried this before, late 44, Italy just took down USSR (usually auto-surrender). Hotseat, I'm teched up better than the Axis and am on the continent(got Paris), Japs not doing so well, no major losses either way.

Can the Allies stalemate the Axis sans Reds?

OK Bill I'm patient but is there any new game mechanics to look forward to or is this just a bigger map and the same old sprites and SC3 features we've seen for the last 5 years?
