winter attacks

Gary Grigsby’s World at War is back with a whole new set of features. World at War: A World Divided still gives complete control over the production, research and military strategy for your side, but in this new updated version you’ll also be able to bring spies into the mix as well as neutral country diplomacy, variable political events and much more. Perhaps the largest item is the ability to play a special Soviet vs. Allies scenario that occurs after the end of World War II.

winter attacks

Post by fcam1387 »

Is it worthwhile (as Germany especially) to attack in the Winter turns? Or are the disadvantages too great.

I am considering a Barbarossa in winter 1942 - should I wait until spring because the winter penalties are too late? Or is spring a little too late to invade?

Thanks

IMO you should wait one more turn... You will prepare better, but so will SU... A tough question..
Why did you wait so long anyway? I hope you have invaded England otherwise you are up for world of pain ;-)

You won't get the "first Russian winter" penalty in the Winter of a Barbarosa start, just the regular winter penalties.

I think it depends on the situation with the troops. If you have a good tech superiority and the numbers to win without too many casualties, by all means go for it. Note that it will be that much more difficult for the Russians to counter attack, and you will have a full 3 fair weather turns before the "first Russian winter" impedes your progress.
