What kind of combat?ORIGINAL: ezz
Found a bug - Choose unit to be destroyed in combat- then changed mind and unchecked that unit and chose another. No way to pick another unit. Buttons greyed out - aborted game.
Just as well as rain on impulse 2 Barbarrossa and 2 roll of 1's on first attacks meant the panzers were going nowhere. And forgot to move the Finns - Is there a check for unmoved units button?
Be aggressive in using your tactical air in the first impulse to disorganize Russian units. Only do good attacks. Save disorganizing German HQs until later in the turn. If you must use HQs to reorganize units, use ALL your HQs for that purpose and then use the Offensive chit to reorganize all your HQs at the start of the next turn. Keep your fighters up close to your HQs to prevent the USSR from ground striking them. Keeping your HQs in forest hexes also helps protect them from ground strikes.ORIGINAL: Ranger5355
Have played Barbarossa 3 times. I'm a poor German player. As the Russians I take my lumps and fall back. My German side runs out of steam by fall way short of objectives. I don't want to move on to other scenarios until I get a grasp of how attack without ending up with disorganized HQ's too far in the rear[:(]
I'm not using my HQ's well according to your post.ORIGINAL: Shannon V. OKeets

Figure out how far you want/expect your army to advance in the turn and from that, figure out where you will need to advance your HQs. They should not let them become disorganized until you get them to their intended destination hex.

Today I started a scenario in which all the significant minor countries -- Spain, Turkey, Sweden, Mexico, all of South America except Brazil, etc. -- are Axis-aligned. I'm going to give Italy and Germany all of the naval units in their pools, along with the entire French Fleet, and pull an Invasion America scenario in spring '40. I'll set the weather to clear everywhere just to make certain they get a nice foothold. If it's too unbalanced, I'll give the US a B-36 and a P-80 or something. Then we'll see where things go!
Oh my bad -- that's what I did in CWiF today, not MWiF [:(]

I have been trying to replay the first part of Global War trying different set ups in China. I have yet to find one that works unless the Japanese have hideous luck of the draw on units.
Partisans, Chinese Warlords, and extra Chinese cities make it harder for the Japanese. Partisans especially.ORIGINAL: Ingtar
