I had three HQs and I had units not under HQ command although they were well within distance. Hubert should address the issue of unit assignment to each HQ and having the ability to put allied troops under friendly HQ command.

Submarine warfare now actually works and deducts from your mpp- including strategic warfare also now deducts from your mpp. Hey I am still waiting for your turn!

Let us preorder! Are we looking at within 2 weeks or longer? I noticed the demo was improved from my earlier download (had to redownload and reinstall). Come on guys! What's the hush-hush all about? Give me SC or give me death! Everyone lets make noise here! Up in arms my comrades!

Can anyone at least post updates as to the progress of game completion? Is it too much to ask for? Thank you greatly! :eek:

Hawk you have a good point. But german training was just superior at that time combined with their tactics and leadership. These troops are also battlehardened from Poland and some "volunteers" from the Spanish civil war. Basically, the allies were outfought during the first part of the war. In that line of thinking, Italian troops were almost useless and should have a negative rating (the game of course does not allow for it). When Germany had to go into Italy in 1943, they have dicovered hoard of numerous supplies that they have sent to Mussolini. One German general remarked, to the effect, if we only had italy as an enemy instead of an ally, they would have won the war!

Traditionally, the german army during the early stages of ww2, was superior to the allied forces and this should have been reflected in giving them a +1 in anti-tank. (Veteran german units in the later part, especially ss units, were tough nuts to crackzen!) I know the two leaders being present is supposed to account for that to reflect their combined arms superiority. I still think it is a shortcoming (well, I guess with the editor this is moot). I know that the game is nearing completion, but right along this point, I think there should have been representation of airborne and SS troops (Germany fielded 500,000 SS combat troops). I also think it is a misrepresentation that strategic bombers can bomb units (as RAF's sole bomber unit can do). Actually, french armor was better than the germans during the start of ww2 but they did not organize into effective battlegroups and when they did later, they simply got tore up by the luftwaffe. I think this latter part is reflected correctly in the french's stats in SC.

Great stratagem to wipe out the allies. I was a turn short from taking manchester although I was able to knock off the US fairly easy. Spain joined me asap after the US fell. Too bad ran out of time. Although it took me to invest in 8 airfleets to get a foothold on the isles. Really...really wishing for more turns.

Can we lowly privates be given any operations update as to the progress of the gold demo and the actual game? Also, I, among others, would not mind pre-ordering even if the game is a month off from delivery.

Hey Gorski! Was that what you were planning in our PBEM game? Ahh shucks... darn it! Well bring it on! I don't think you can get sufficient unit density though with my naval and air power on england. Richard

Hey Gorski! I am ready for a brawl! Ready to rumble? Richard riczet@aol.com

Does anyone know when the game is due out? Also, will the publishers give the option of downloading the game instead of waiting for the CD?
