These are the kinds of things that should be abstracted out imo. You are making the people who know how to do it do a chore and you are adding a lot of frustration and confusion to those who don't.

I never understood why they made setting up convoys so laborious.

If you try to retreat in the face of the enemy, you will get hit hard. It is best to retreat before the enemy can bring the full weight of their fire on you. If you do have to pull out, you better use lots of smoke and fire on the enemy while you are moving back. This was true in Red Storm and is ...

Agree. Also I always have my units SOP on relocate "never" because they always get into big trouble when relocating. They take weird paths that often get them into more trouble or like you said just get destroyed. I'd rather have them stand and fight or drive on out of trouble.

I think there should ...

This game is relatively easy to get into. I greatly appreciate this. I order my units to do things and they mostly do them. I tried to figure out how to call an artillery strike and it took almost no time to figure out and the artillery strike went off without a hitch. I expected to have to go to ...

Soviet formations do seem very powerful up close. Many times I'll put a few NATO units in what I feel is decent defensive ground and they will get steamrolled with ease. No clue of this is correct or not. I do feel like it maybe should be tougher to root inf out of urban locations.

That said I have ...

It would be nice if there was an undo for the research chits. Currently if you raise then lower it in the same turn you don't get the full MPPs back.

What do you guys do with your units at 0:00?

My first inclination is to let the men sleep for godsake but I'm not sure that's optimal or even what would actually happen in game terms. What do?

I looked at screenshots and felt that it was just another wargame that was ugly, difficult to play due to poor UI, and probably had poor AI. I just expect more from my wargames these days.

<t> I'm far from an expert in this game but I do feel like I can offer a few tips. At least against the AI... PBEM is a different story.<br/>
<br/>
- Don't go toe-to-toe with Soviets that is playing directly into their hands. I'm never looking to go 1-to-1. Punch a hole in Soviet lines and drive ...

I have played a few games thus far and have yet to see the AI attack me or another AI player. Am I missing something?

This game doesn't look like a buy for me yet but I'm keeping it on my wait and see list.

<t> I haven't played a DB game since Korsun and I'm looking to catch up on the series. I downloaded the demo to get a feel for the game again see how the engine has passed the test of time and I am having enormous troubles with the Bulge scenario.<br/>

Did the allied 106th get beefed up ...

<t> Yeah I found it to have quite a bit of depth. Certain things like industry and politics are abstracted to a degree but combat outcomes relies on many, many factors. It took me about 2-3 days to really understand everything that was going on.<br/>
<br/>
I would recommend it especially since you ...

<r> Happy to see Red Orchestra get the gold for best action title.&nbsp; A $20 small developer title crushing major developer titles that cost millions to make and costs $40.&nbsp; NO WAY!<br/>

I think it would be cool if Belgian Neutrality were&nbsp;not violated that the British populace would not have quite the tolerance for casualties that they did historically.
&nbsp;
Is tjis realistic or would it not have mattered?

<t> I have currently been marveling at the human capacity for self deception. When you really think about how much we decieve ourselves in our every day lives it kinda blows your mind. We see it every day in others and it is so comforting to decieve ourselves that it really doesn't get much notice ...

I can't wait.&nbsp; I haven't anticipated a game like this since Half Life 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can still remember firing up EU 1&nbsp;for the first time and being completely blown away.&nbsp;

<t> Please, oh please, please, re-do Close Combat 2.&nbsp; This was by far the most challenging and fun Close Combat game.&nbsp; The way it simulated the drive to Arnhem and the desperation to get to the Red Devils in time created a lot of suspense and upped the importance of each battle and unit ...
