<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: bairdlander<br/> <br/> The media here in Canada is constantly stating "Alberta's dirty oilsands" as being international news.Im wondering since this forum is international if anyone here has heard this story or know what its about.I think its being blown out of pro...

Same thing happens to me as well but did not occur before 1.0.4.4 Beta - anyway thank you for fixing it!

I like this channel over at Youtube:

Stupid question maybe, but did all the involved&nbsp;persons patch the game to version 1.10(shown in the lower left corner of the startup screen)?

<t> When does this problem bother me (as Soviet player) in Kharkov? <br/> <br/> It happens when the German player has a very good start with his offensive in the south and/or he exploits Barvenkovo. In that case a considerable size of Soviet units would not be able to retreat and form a defense furt...

I agree and wanted to raise this issue as well - but I´m glad it did someone whose English is better.[:)]
When being on the defense and under heavy pressure the ao boundaries often are too restrictive.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Capitaine<br/> <br/> I started a hotseat game against myself to look at the opening moves and what the Germans have available along with their movement capabilities.  Wow.  It's just amazing how even with the artillery, they can start waaaay back behind the lines, ...

I don´t defend those hexes. I think anything standing on them would be&nbsp;blown to pieces. I like to conserve my forces for the counteroffensive during the second half.

<t> Nice article!<br/> &nbsp;<br/> I might want to add an important helper for the Soviet&nbsp;opening --->&nbsp; the early activation of the 21 and 23 Tank Corps by capturing the hexes 20,32 or 22,29. By default both formations become active at turn five, but the capture of those hexes ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Avatar47<br/> <br/> The russians get points for holding Barvenkovo, and so do the Germans. NOT taking it as the Germans is a 100 point swing every turn they don't. Yeah, you will trap additional russians bypassing it, but at what cost? Also, if the Russians make a ...

Yes, imho the town is a problem, I had a discussion about (not) capturing it with one of my opponents after we discovered this weirdness. We negotiated that bypassing and therefore not taking Barvenkovo as Germans is a gamey move - anyone who tries it will be tared and feathered...

Well even if it´s true that you are not a good player (yet), your AAR is first class.[:)]

Sorry, I wanted to reply to your other thread, my previous post is over there now.

<t> I have some experience with the SSG games,&nbsp;so usually I can win against the computer at the AI+ settings&nbsp;- in pbem it´s a different story, I keep getting horrible beatings against experts, but I have some pbem buddies where winning and loosing holds the balance.<br/> &nbsp;...

Okay, I´ve taken my seat...

<t> For my taste it is big, but not monstrous...the map is of average size, but you have a lot to do in several areas. After the first (overwhelming) looks I now got used to it, I´d consider it being in the size of TAO and KP, but smaller than the Normandy campaign.<br/> <br/> As for the AOs I have ...
