Matrix Games Forums

I'm fairly new to the game been playing the AI in different attempts at learning so I started Bitter End campaign and did well for me anyways. By October before the Mud I had established a defensive line Starting at Stalino in the south and roughly a line then to Kharkov to Kursk to Orel to Kuluga to Vyazma to Ilmen lake and then have Leningrad surrounded but not taken.

So I had not taken Leningrad or Moscow. But had destroyed 308 units and killed captured 2.9 million SU troops. Had pulled my armor off the line and thought my units were set for the winter.

In some areas i had no soviet troops really as I had wiped them out. But once the mud left I had soviet units every where.Looked like the IA had made 100 or more units and were pushing me back in several places. I was spread to thin in some areas and kept having to give ground and pull back from Leningrad.

So I'm looking for suggestions on what helps German player hold up better or best he can in first winter.

Welcome to the forum Jayhawk

The AI spams units @ no AP cost.

To help with the winter:
1 Take L'grad next time to free the Finns
2 You probably pulled too much strength out of the front line
3 Look at the many AARs which cover the 1st winter.

Thank you for the response I did pull out to much I think as I had to many gaps the SU units came thru. I will read the AAr's and work on taking Leningrad next time.
