Thanks taojah. China surrendered 2 turns later. I'm still working on Russia, they moved their capital to the ural mountain range after I took Moscow. I already had Stalingrad and Leningrad. As far as Egypt that was a goal I never got to. I didn't have enough units to do everything. But it's may 46 and I'm still holding most of Europe so I'm good. Almost time to start a new game as the axis

Im playing AoD waw 1939 scenario and it's now jan 1946. I'm playing the axis side. This is my first game of AoD and I hadnt expected to play that far in game time but I'm learning a lot keeping it going as opposed to starting a new game. My question is when will china and or ussr surrender. China in particular. I have taken its capital 3 times and at most they have 2 cities left under their control, both in the far southwest corner by Thailand. It's taken forever to get this far but I can't see why they haven't surrendered yet. In Russia I have taken Leningrad Stalingrad and just took Moscow but I figured they would hold on for a while, but china is not making much sense. I want to use Japan to finish off Russia once china is done. On a side note I only attacked the USA after it was at war with Germany for a few months and then I took Hawaii and garrisoned it strongly, it's kept America fairly tame in the pacific. I beat back an invasion on Okinawa but having Hawaii hurt the USA it seems. But doing that kept me from taking singapoeRe and Thailand and a poor invasion choice cost me a chance at manila. But overall I'll take it. Germany is doing well in ussr I have a line of troops just past Moscow and I had Baku almost in my grasp til turkey went allies and screwed that up a bit for me. Paris has traded hands a couple times in last few months so I think I have allies bottled up but Italy fell and so might the German units in northern Italy. Overall though not a bad situation for the axis in jan 46. I'm finding I like this game more than any game I've played in years. I'm a gamer going back to the 80's and advanced squad leader.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I will have to do as you guys recommended and hit "P" to find out where to place my anti partisan units perhaps reading the full manual might have helped but I just jumped right in.

Hello everyone. I am new to AoD but I played the original game. My question involves partisans. Is there a way to turn them off. I know it's historically accurate but I find it a grind to chase around partisans with a corps only to have the partisans reformed at full strength on the next turn. It's just not a fun mechanic for me. So if anyone knows how to turn them off it would be greatly appreciated. I also have to say that this is a great game. I was looking for something new to play in the WW2 genre and this really hit the sweet spot. I've played all of the Hearts of iron games And numerous others including the original sc1. I see it has matured greatly. Thanks in advance for any help.
