TC27

Come on Battlefront dont force to to stay up late.

Actually I would contend supply was the main issue, Rommels advanced beyond the ability of axis logistics to support him, unless the axis had gained control of Malta and gained naval superioty then even advancing into Egypt was always going to end in defeat. (as it did)

YEAH!!! Gonna pull a sicky tomorrow then!

Damn those effiecent germans.

Yes I actually really like the new system of tiles and isometric views, I thought I would hate it at first seeing the screenshots but I shoulda trusted Hubert.

The only reason SC doesnt start with France already captured is to give the allied player chance to hold out a little longer than historically.

Yep, just as you get Spain to join the Axis and you assemble a army group to take Malta!

In the demo Malta causes the Axis to lose MPPs every turn.

So sometime this week? You see in the UK we get four days off work this weekend so if it comes before then I will be a very happy.

Yes some more information would be appreciated, I really hope its out before the weekend.

I have tried several varities of this strategy, however so far all its done is dragged out France's survival until late 1940. The key to Frances survival if it could be done is is to destroy the German air fleets, otherwise its impossible to stop the German onslaught. Because the intercption model is rather silly its better to actually attack the Luftflottes rather than to sit back and intercept.

The last great nation in Europe? Germany? LOL

If Turkey joins the Axis then they can really deal a terrible blow against the USSR getting to all those oil fields that are normally safely tucked away.

Well I simply blockaded the US with the Italian and later the German fleet.

Err I just won a game as the Axis without conquering the USA, I had a hell of a time beating the USSR (they moved their capital twice!) but once it had surrended within a couple of turns I got a Axis victory message and stats screen.

Use all three of your Luftflottes to blast the French army in the Ardennes hex (the wooded one) then attack it with all three Panzer armies, you will get at least one clean through the gap, use your infantry armies to mop up the Low Countries and protect the Panzer's from being cut of ignore the maginot line use some corps to surround it .
