winter is the start of a new year. The year is split into four seasons. Winter -> Spring -> Summer -> Fall

If people are going to use the bulk of their production points to research heavy bomber evasion to such high levels then perhaps this imbalance could be exploited in some other way.

Allies can't attack them but barbarrossa can cetainly be delayed up until winter of 43 i think. The russians will only get stronger the longer you wait though. I have won a couple of games with a quick sealion and then turning on russia once england has been defeated.

Agreed. Descriptions of the combat modifiers and why they were applied would be a good addition to the combat report.

Sorry I should have said -4 from there base defense total

<t> Just noticed in my invasion of norway with a paradrop and infantry that all land units involved in combat with other land units get -4 for their defense rating. I understand about the negation to evasion and attack ratings but could not find any info on this. If anyone knows please enlighten me ...

So it would be better to attack in steps then rrather than throw everything in at once.

Do bombers reduce evasion?

Thanks, I had another question though.
Is it better to perform attacks on regions in a big bunch or to do it in smaller pieces? For example sending fighters in to knock out air cover, then sending bombers to knock out artillery, then send troops in. Or just send everyone in at once?

<t> Just had a quick question about the combat phases (ie. air to air, air to ground etc.)<br/>
If an air unit involved in air to air combat is hit, does it then get to be involved in air to ground combat?<br/>
and If a ground unit is hit in air to ground phase, does it then get to participate in ...

Can someone please explain to me how population works? My max pool limit seems to jump around all over the place. One turn I will have 25/16 then in another turn it will be 12/10. How does this work?

Thanks mate for the info. 50 bucks is pretty good for a game these days so I think I will DD.

Thanks. DD it shall be then

Is there going to be an Australian retail release? I went to EBGames in the Melbourne CBD and they told me they had never heard of it.
Do Aussies have to DD?

Their purpose is to make the game more visually attractive and more enjoyable to play. I do not see why this is so ...
