Hey Hubert, go ahead with this idea and you will earn a lot of money I guess ;-)

That is right. A demo version is for demonstration only. If you really love the game buy it here on battlefront store.

Thanks so far, I will reply if this helps.

Hi there, a new German player ask me about his bad performance playing AoD. The game starts without problems but scrolling and handling units is very slow. Delays for transports are about 2-3 seconds and the AI turn takes minutes. The PC is an AMD 8 CPU (8*4 GHZ); 16 GB Ram, Geforce GTX 760 mit 2 GB Ram. The game itself is on a 2nd harddrive. That should be enough to play smouthly isn't it. Any thoughts to solve the problem. Regards Amadeus (from Panzerliga)

Thoroughness first, at least before speed.

Yes, but the guys here love to play tourny and ladder and made it easy to me.

Yes, you are Axis or Allies and therefor you play two matches. That's all.

Tournament News: Steel32 vs. Catacol Highlander > Steelman dominated Catacol in both matches and Catacol receives a bad defeat. Steel32 just went into the Semi and wait for Fritz/teamgene. Congratulation to Steelman!

Tournament News: Isnogud vs. GaryK > just approaching turns 100 on both mirror games. Advantages for Isnogud but no clear situation at the moment Steel32 vs. Catacol Highlander > Currently in 1942 and should be finished in February. Advantages for Steel32 Fritz vs. Teamgene > Only on turn 49 in a single match. If I remember right advantages for Fritz but not sure.

I guess that major capitals shout be saved by fortification/stationary air defences/Coastal guns to be able to protect themselves by their own. Rome and Tokyo could be saved much better on this way either other capital cities. Also agreed about a second Italian capital. I don't like too many new rules which affected the gameplay. For me the gameplay now is on a high level and I don't want to change this for minor realism issues.

I guess several bugs were found while playing Tournament and Ladder. Maybe we starting this kind of "beta" testing sooner next time.

Tournament News: Clausewitz vs. Tman > Clausewitz won both matches and reaches the Semi, waiting for Gary or Isnogud. Congratulation to Clausewitz

Congratulations and go ahead

Tournament News Pacestick won the Revanche match against Ludi1867 and just join the BIG FINAL Congratulation to Pacestick

I am sorry about my match. Played aggressive as Allie. DOW Denmark which is very very (too) bad for Allies. After DOW on Norway some turns later USA was at 0% War Readiness. Sweden came to Axis and at the beginning of Barbarossa I saw about 70 ground units only for Germany. I usually have 40-50 max at that time. With nearly no income for Allie (US) and this huge German Power I surrender. What I miss in the game is a display that shows the expected effects when DOWing a nation.

You will not have a great advance for Poland on first turn cause you need to take all units for do this. I tend to finish Poland on turn 3 or 4 cause you could easily finish the Low Countries in 1939 too then. Thus I have no problem for Poland on turn 1.

There are several helps in the Forum. Really good Basics you will find here http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=109038 Some small answers for your questions. - You could give yourself stages. And think about what are the best units to take them. Units under 8 are not that powerful. - Tanks without good supply will despair quickly at the bigger cities - Hold your HQ at a good speed and use the streets. - Cut off the path from the south and make the way free for the bigger cities. - Idle units have less or no use. Damage and Destroy as much as you could for the most units. Kind of arrows in enemy ground and pointed attacks to the sides.

Interesting match anyway, Sweden is now Axis, Norway Allies and that in early 1941. Never had that game situation before.

Really 10? Not 8? Amsterdam and Brussel go only up to 8 when conquered. Not watched yet when retaken/liberated. Hungary go up to 10 cause it comes peacefully. But that is the problem. In our match (liberated) Copenhagen only goes up to 5!

I made some tests in hotseat modus. - If you take Denmark as Axis peacefully you get a full supply Copenhagen up to 10 - If you declare War on Denmark as Allie without conquering, Copenhagen go up to 10 for the Axis - If you declare War on Denmark as Axis without conquering, Copenhagen will have a supply level up to 5 for the Allies!? - If you conquer Denmark as Allie you get a supply level up to 5!? - If you conquer Netherlands/Belgium you get a supply level up to 8 for Axis and Allies (For Axis the capitals become a Primary Supply Center)

Tournament News: Play Off match Pacestick vs. Tomi, Pacestick conquer Berlin and just winning his 2nd match of the mirror. Congratulation to Peter! Ludi1867 has to play a revenge match against Peter now.

One small note about France. I think only 10,000 NM is too low for this Allie. France capitulated when I was only in Metz. No units in the near of the french capital. Have to be 20,000 at least.

As far as I know this is a feature and no bug. Germany and Japan couldn't move in their national earth. I have a (German sorry) pic about this. Japs are not cooperative to their allied Nations and could only operational move to places they conquer and own theirselves. I made this in my matches several times. If the Japs have conquered Turkey they have the additional problem of a broken rail http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=112727 Only that last issue 2) is a (minor) bug. Sorry to Tomi.
