Production + Disbanding

Win 8 Issues

<t> <br/>

Got nostalgic for this game so I followed the guide in the tech support (I am running Win8). Very clear and helpful BTW but when I run the game I get the loading screen and then a black screen where I can see the cursor and hear the music. Anyone seen this/is there a workaround. I ...

RE: AI is quite competent in 1.12

<t> Where the game suffers most is on the Eastern Front. It is insanely aggressive to the point of pushing units into positions to get isolated and cut off all the time. Playing now as the Soviets and last turn alone two German armored corps "broke through" but had zero support got 2 hexes behind ...

RE: 653H Mod

Played as the Axis and loved the mod glad to have naval combat gone from the game.

As the Allies now, is that super low (~300 MPP per turn in 1943) Soviet MPP level correct? I mean the US and UK are massively outproducing the Soviets.

RE: Italian Surrender

<t> Back the the main point, the biggest issue with Italy remains that the AI deploys an abnormally large number of IT forces east. When it surrenders the AI lacks any precognition so it blows a huge hole in the German lines, also the Germans usually don't have anything in Italy so the Allies land ...

Best thing to do is to abuse the ability to sail out, attack and return -- especially in the Med. Subs are great at savaging the U.K. Surface fleet if you can get enough together because most of their DDs will be prowling the Atlantic. I ...

well, if the axis player does not resist they end up losing 20-30 mpp


Per turn just getting one fighter unit beat to hell will cost more than that.

RE: Is strategic bombing worthwhile?

Yeah the damage you do is to fighters not to industry. Allies have so much MPP they can waste points the Germans can't. Germans are better off not even trying to resist.
