Changes to game over the lasy 4 years?
Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2026 1:15 pm
Hi,
I am considering returning to the game after 4 years. When I left, I was very experienced in it, focusing on the 1941 GC.
How has the game changed over the last 4 years? What is the current meta?
When I left the game, it was too easy for the Axis to smash the Soviets over '41/42
Specifically:
a) Have retreat path priorities been changed/randomised? (Herding Soviet retreats to ensure annihilation really kills the game)
b) Has supply system been changed? (Once mastered, it was too easy to eliminate any material Axis supply issues. Perhaps I should play with automated depot placement).
c) Has TBs changed? (Frustrating to play when locked, too powerful when unlocked eg releasing prime leaders and those SS/armoured units)
