Can a hex be attacked from more than one side?

Absolutely. You just click the unit you want to attack with, shift and hold the mouse over all the other ones to include and then right click the poor bastard ...

<t> So, a friend and I have been playing the scenario in PvP a few times and we've noticed that it can be difficult to understand the rules regarding peacetime naval activities- I recommend reducing the range in which US entry is increased for prewar Italian naval activity around Alexandria from six ...

IMO it's less that and more that the designs will generally be at cross-purposes. The goal in an operational game isn't in fact to create interesting tactical scenarios, but to create absolutely lopsided ones.

Operational/strategic layers tend to make a tactical game worse because the scenarios they create are worse and the operational aspects are always worse than an actual operational game.

Not seeing this as a big deal at all after trying both sides, tbh. Not a deal killer and if anything at this point I think the Soviet side is the easier one.<br/>

You have some limited flexibility in this, if you're willing to spend ...

Hi,<br/>

With an historical option of the Finns not threatening Leningrad a Soviet player could easily denude the Finnish front of forces and use them elsewhere which isn't ideal.<br/>

There are some What If? options for ...

<t> I do think it might be better to let the later conscript armies have more free deployment as they weren't coming based on a pre-planned mobilization, but the regular armies that show up as reinforcements had plans and timetables and a PP cost to redirect them is fairly reasonable. Letting the ...

As with many things in every game, you get more information than your real life counterparts, but other than a wildly random reinforcement schedule there is not much that can be done about it. <e>[/quote]</e ...

Historically Odessa and Sevastopol were both able to be resupplied via the Black Sea and this is definitely a huge contributing factor to these cities lasting so long.

Panzeh: Nice of you to assign my motives. I'm ok with anyone playing the "clean war" and that it exists as an option...however I agree with 76mm that it should not be the default. If you see spite in that, and it makes you happy, then ...

I understand Matrix wants the largest audience possible for any game they are selling, however considering this genre, historical accuracy should always prevail over PCism. Give the PC crowd the option, but do not make their "sensitivity" the ...

So.. much.. effort.

In my view, anything to whitewash history is a dishonor to those who gave their lives in the most important conflict in human history. I wish we could all do away with political correctness. Ignoring these issues will just cause them ...

I would say it's a bit odd to lose Leningrad from the south with the two armies watching Finland freed up by Finnish surrender.

August 21, and I've kept Leningrad and the rail that leads to it open. Kiev fell. The AI is being stubborn as hell at the centre, still fighting towards Smolensk.

That's not too much of a surprise- most ...

<t> Keep in mind that this aggressive play does expose your forces to suicide attacks because their offensive stance gives their units a combat bonus on the attack and the shock bonus the Germans have only applies to the Soviets on the defensive. The more cautious AI might not punish you this for it ...

Yeah if you do too much with Finland and get the Finnish troops wrecked that clears up two Soviet armies in the north sector which can be massive.

I'll try to make more- hit the screenshot option and you'll have a folder full of status screenshots and then there are plenty of ways to make slideshows into animated gifs.

Was the AI able to do encirclements or is it more like a static front ?<br/>
