A better model for the submarine war?
Lars replied to a topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Here. Look at what they did in WWI and the effect they had when warships were more of a preferred target. Sea Denial, it ain't just a river in Egypt. -

Umm, not really. And not till later, when they had to. An arguement has been made that Donitz was wrong to pursue a commerce raiding role for the U-boat. Go for the UK fleet early and often (after all most of the German U-boats at the start were short range models, so you might as well) and drive them from the seas. After that, the merchants either fall in your lap or refuse to sail. -

I'd say they did pretty damn well. This is from Admiral King's final report. 276 to 52 losses. I'll take that all day long. -
Lars vs Stalin's Organ AAR
Lars replied to Lars's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Eh, maybe you'll dig that corps out of the mountains. Good luck on that. But the convoy is never coming back. You just lost 400 mpp a year. -

Liam, I've got to agree with Desert Dave here. You're out to lunch, sub were always meant to be capital ship killers from their very inception. Pre-war, the idea was they were to be scouts for the fleet, trading on their greatest asset, stealth. And if they could take out a BB along the way, what admiral is going to complain about that? Just because they were relegated to mostly a commerce raider role due to circumstances, doesn't mean that's how they were originally designed or intended to be used. -
My latest Axis game.
Lars replied to TaoJah's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Worry about your flanks a little bit more? Look, as Rolend already pointed out in another thread, you can just load up the starting forces and march on Moscow. The game A.I. isn't balanced for this (the victory patch will help) and I don't know how it could be, unless you want about ten armies to materialize out of thin air. -

Why should he? His strategy was to see what he could achieve with IW3 - good on him! </font> -

Campaign of Pure Evil Umm, they sure that's a woman? Gentlemen, I think we have a contender for the next CM theme!

Well, you did something ahistorical, what did you expect? Try it without IW 3. -
Question about MPP and convoys
Lars replied to Rolend's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I agree, the A.I. should shut off the convoy instead of just beating its head against the wall. Been brought up before and hopefully it'll be addressed. -
Lars vs Stalin's Organ AAR
Lars replied to Lars's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Stalin gets serious. Three AF attacks and two CAs, followed up by a Para. Kiss Norway goodbye. However, a UK Corps sitting in Trondheim denies him that sweet, sweet ore. Bwahahahaha. Yugo gets hammered, gonna fall next turn. USSR gets Industrial 2. -

70,000 Beer Cans Found in Ogden Townhouse Thought it might be Shaw until I got to this bit. -

I'll have you know that none of those carpets were "cheap". Even the smallest apartment was a $1000 re-carpet every stinking time. I got about as much use out of them as you did from Yugoslavia. -
Dutch army

Lost them all at Piccadilly Circus more likely. -

Huh. A million men. Wonder what they did with them all. -

Heh, that might be a better pic than the moose for the Justicar's website. -

And he amphibs in the HQ. Either to banish the dumkopf for screwing it up in the first place or to lend moral support, I haven't figure out which. Norway continues to hold and we have an early Axis DOW on Yugoslavia. -
The RN useless
Lars replied to Agamemnon's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I don't think the A.I. sends much more than 20 mpp on that route, so you, in effect, did shut it down. -
