I'm waiting for them. They will be ready for january 1946. I will begin my massive counterattack at this time!

You can always retreat to the Eagle's Nest on the Obersalzberg and fight from there. [:D]

Turn 174, 12th October 1944

Last turn before mud and .... argghh, another major encirclement!!!!

Schascha trapped 10 divs wih the help of an airborne drop (retreat rules should be fixed!)

Curiously, he made a mistake in Danzig as he didn't attack Gdynia. I evacuate my divs!

Image

Just for fun, I attacked the Aiborne regiment just to show that this unit shouldn't have blocked the retreat of 2 full size divs

Image

And a view of Hungary, I think that his goal is the city in red but I will set 3 divs in Budapest and if I've well understood the rules, it should prevent the Hungary surrender.

Yes, airborne brigades can be abused. [:D] And at this stage of the game he practically has unlimited transport capacity which means he never gets any depleted units.

They should really fix the airborne system. It's silly.

I was surprised because you don't make lots of mistakes. This one won't change the end of the game but it gave me 6 Inf Divs which will be very useful!

Turn 175 19th october 1944

First turn of mud! Almost all the front becomes quiet.

Time to evaluate my summer campaign. I knew it would be hard, but not at this point. I've lost roughly 40 divs with 2 major and 4 minor encirclements.

I've now 91 victory points left and the evolution of the OOB doesn't need any comment.

Image

But above all the morale of my army has been broken due to the multiple defeats and it has a direct effect on the CV of my units.

Turn 175, 19th october 1944

Some activity in 2 sectors

1) Danzig
Gdynia is left unattacked, so I evacuate the last divs.

Image

2) Hungary

Schascha attacks in order to reach the plain

Turn 178, 9th november 1944

Mud is away, snow is back and so are MP for SHC...

During the mud my OOB grew up but the evolution in one year show that I've lost half of my AFV and so my ability to counter attack and break the spearheads.

Image

Here are my positions in the north at the beginning of the turn.

Image

I decide to fall back to the moutain in order to reinforce the Oder line.

Image

In the South, the front before my moves

Image

Budapest is well garrisoned, I give ground slowly

Image

But in fact my situation is desesperate, SHC stacks are too mighty.

Would be interesting to see a shot of the German Special Pools: Manpower & ARM

See below the most significant datas of my pool. I would like the 20 000 pre 1943 rifle squads fill my Inf Divs!

The dam swapping bugs are killing this game starting in late 43 to 45.

Your lines would be fine and you be looking at a draw my friend, but because of piss poor design your not.

And yes Bozo I mean piss poor.

2 people have spent 100's of hours to only have GHC army fall apart because of shitty swapping bugs.

[:(][:(][:(][:(][:(][:(][:(][:(]

The up side is it is better now then before.

Before the last patch things fell apart in late 43/early 44 now its late 44 early 45.

Still and issue that hopefully will get fixed in .12 or .13

Few games enter 1944 so there has been almost no tests to fix such bugs.

And I must admit that 99% of the time spent by players in "great campaign" is 1941/1942.

But in fact I would really like to see these rifle squads in my divs!

In .13 swapping squads with conversions and automated TOE upgrades is a breeze (and doesn't cost thousands of ARM). Tested it today with 43 campaign :-)

I knew there was something very very wrong over 12 months ago.

tm.asp?m=2792361

but was ignored for a long time before I had 5 on going game 43+ and there were others falling apart also.

I was the only 1 for months posting about it and was basicly called a moron ect ect by everyone, but in the end I was proven right with the help of The 3 Amigos.

This should have been fixed long ago.

It is better, but still requires some major work.

Thanks for the pic, but I'd wager that most of the 1.2M men and 600k ARM in the pools are other than German, as in Bulgarian, Rumanian or other, but it's only German that matters now (no offence to Hungary intended).
