Oh and is the prioroty capture of v1 coast sites factored in? thanks

<t> For the May 44 scenario...I used to play Avalon Hills Fortress Europa back in the day. One of the cool things that game had was you could as allies plan to invade anwhere along the french coast all the way to Belgium. Allareas had benifits and disadvantages. Of course going straigh at the pais ...

<t> I would like to see..<br/>
1. A way to highlight several units at once and get some sort of pup up summary of how many soldiers, tanks art etc thats contained in the selection. Also an "approximate" option too. This way if I do an encirclement I kind of know how many troops I got. Or how many I ...

<t> So I started a new 41 campaign as German playing AI. Making awesome progress until first mud turn. Then every single unit has a cv of 1. After that every single units cv remains 1. All needed rail units are right up to the front lines. This didnt happen with older version. What am I missing ...

<t> OK playing as german against the AI leaving all settings leeft stock and I have captured Lenningrad, incurred about 4.85 million russian casualties, within 3 hexs of Moscow, got out to Karkov and Stalino. Got through my first winter now and its June 42 and the Russian cv's I see are many many in ...

Seems like theres not much you can do. Seems like suicide to attack with armor or mechanized units. Infantry attacks seems hit and miss. Do you just focus on maintenance and do what you can or does it make sense to rest units then? Any other suggestions for mud turns?

wow- now I am stoked. Had no idea

<t> I have played AH games and computer strategy games from about 1980 and I really think this game has hit an amazing balance of complexity/reality and most importantly - fun factor. What theater would you like to see this game engines applied too? I would like either a western front from normandy ...

<t> lots of good tips thanks. I am only playing AI. I seemed to get the closest and best success by trying the right or left hook approach. Trying to trick the AI as much as possible. I learned if you mass units as a Leningrad first strartegy the AI catches on so you definately got to have good ...

<t> What time frame are you doing it in? Any tips?<br/>
<br/>
I will play the full campagn game but give up on it around 12-1-41 if I havent taken Leningrad only cus it turns into such a slug/attrition fest until June the next year. I want to play the full campaign game with a captured Leningrad ...

If your chasing partisans and you only have one of two choices you can reach is there a reasoing to go after one versus the other? (ie go after one closest to city or one on key railhead etc)

I noticed sometimes a unit I pull off front lines for refit will suddenly be on front lines in combat if a breakout happens. If I forget to change its status does it matter for its combat effictiveness? Same question for reserve status?

So my other half asked what it was that I spend so much time. She asked "Is that some kind of never ending puzzle or something?"
I said yes...thats exactly what it is!!!! -lol[&o]

I have been an avid wargamer since avalon hill board games. This War in the East is by far the best game ever. Its so good I would love for them to come up with a North African campagin version of tihjs game with the same supplie princibles with supply ZOC's etc.

Sorry if slightly off topic...but I had to comment.

There must be a crazy amount of war wreckage/tanks/undiscovered plane wrecks etc etc left in the real Russia today. There must have been thousands of individual battles. From major ones to small skirmishs.

<t> I have got the encirclements down to an art form. As a matter of fact I basically "encircle" my though the whole campgain. <br/>
<br/>
Master rail repair and supply<br/>
know how hq buildup supply works<br/>
<br/>
What I basically do to trick AI is a look at the map, I then concentrate my ...
