scout1(WA) v ultradave(GER) - War over - Major Axis Victory

Feb 16th, 45, Turn 37

Snow this week. Forecast for more next week. Everyone is hunkered down. The Russians must think the Allies are a bunch of wimps

Some city bombing but not enough to cause serious damage.

Victory points as of now -782

Wimps Say Ye ...... You're just lucky that Joel didn't allow this to extend into 1948 or 1949 ...... You'd be in so much trouble buddy ........

Maybe maybe not. The US spirited out a bunch of scientists working on nuclear weapons at the end of the war. Extend it past mid-45 and who knows.........

The US at the time only had enough material for one more weapon. Of course at the end of the war Germany didn't have enough for any

Feb 20, '45. Allies are still penned in the Cotentin and the line in Italy is static. Snow continues over northern Europe. However, it appears that the Russians are advancing quickly on Berlin.

VP total is at -839. I've posted below the territory ownership showing the Russian advance, interdiction levels and rail damage. The German rail network is largely intact and supplies flow to the front. I've had no trouble keeping my front line units up to strength or moving units around.

Interdiction in Normandy with rail damage to German rail network (minimal)

[ultradave]

It appears I need to move the capitol of Germany to Brussels maybe. It would be an odd world - the Russians take most of Germany, while the Germans keep France, Belgium, Holland and northern Italy.

What version are ya'll running? Does the Allies have the 1day interdiction bug?

[ultradave]

I am on 1.01.04. Don't know what Scott is running. We had a problem a while back with beta mismatch making the map disappear so I haven't changed this installation since then. When did the bug you reference appear?

[KWG]

Version 1.01.01

In the last few turns, spring '44 in game.

[ultradave]

Can you point me to where that is discussed? I'm looking in the development forums and don't see it. Thanks.

tm.asp?m=3966469 in the tech forum here.
Not sure about the dev forum.

I have also had the air exec. report bug- where you can only see 2 days of the air report.

As wrote in the thread fix is not released with public beta and neither on dev beta. Will fixed in 1.01.13+.

I wouldn't overestimate this bug as it has working workarounds.

Iam to decide what to do about campaign with Pelton. I will play a turn and see how I can ad lib my most powerful weapon.
Besides the original suggestion of unit, are there any others?

[Helpless]

Don't want to hijack a thread. There is many things I'd do different with air units. I'd say lack of GS and unit bombing is most visible. Also you should watch what your enemy does. There is not so many intercepts in Italy, so you can easily switch your FB from fighter to bomber roles. Disruption is a king of battlefield.

Quite all right. Anyone is welcome to offer critiques and comments.

The situation is self generated and not due to any bug ..... unless there is a play bug .... one that limits attention to detail, impatience and a general lack of understanding as to the particulars as to the air rules ... I've played/play many games, still struggling getting my arms around this one .... to Dave's benefit ... That and his sound play ....

This most recent turn looked like there was a lot more bombing of rail yards going on in spite of the endless snow.

It's Feb 27th BTW. Situation unchanged. Still snowing. Allies bombed the rail yards in Abbeville, Brussels, Antwerp, all around Paris, and a couple places closer to the front. We are scurrying around repairing the damage.

[ultradave]

It's Turn 41, 6 March, 1945. Russians are advancing on Berlin. Western Allies stuck in Normandy and it's still snowing.
The war will soon be over when the Russians take Berlin. Victory points have edged over into the Axis Major Victory category.

This week's item of interest was a massive bombing campaign of all of Paris and it's suburbs. See the trail of air battles in the picture below:

Hex ownership. The Russians are Coming (one of my favorite movies by the way)
