Grand strategy

Post by generalfdog »

One thing I haven't seen for wpe or wpp is a grand strategy guide for new players giving them maybe 3 or so different options and basic build guides for each nation or at least each side. Would be a cool project, If I get some free time I might try and write something, any experienced players want to help? I have just played a few newbies lately who seem a little lost on basic strategy.

Let me know...

I was pondering putting up a guide for France to start...as that seems to be a big area of issue.

Germany...who knows here...so many strategies.

UK has a few.

Russia...I am NOT good there...so may not be a good resource.

I think a guide for initial build up and preparations for case yellow (invasion of France) would be good as success can hang on build decisions made right after or during polish campaign

I think it is great that everyone still debates the proper strategy for the game with it going into its 3rd year after release. Means I did my job at keeping everyone still thinking.

You did an excellent job both in Europe and in the Pacific.

The fact that there isn’t ‘A Strategy’ is one of the things I love about WP.

Maybe for the Uber grognards there is.

But I’ve tried very different things in all 4 games (MP) I’ve played and all the games were competitive and fun.

Yet another feather in WP’s cap.
