John: The AI as Russia, kills more of my units by doing this: attacking with three air fleets one single unit, which leaves him with a strengt of 4 to 6,then they attack this unit from at least three fronts, which kill the unit, they use the same strategy that I use to kill them. They are more aggresive, yes sometimes it helps, if they're in a city, it leaves him with a strenght of maybe 8, so It's easier to kill the unit in the city.

I have been playing SC about two months now. Yesterday I downloaded V1.06. Three things: 1) The USSR war readiness goes up much faster than before. I conquered in that order, poland, denmark, low countries and france, then when I was about to invade yugoslavia, hungary then romania and bulgaria became axis, I invaded yugoslavia, inmediately the USSR became prepares for war. I wasn't ready to go to war with them, I only had about 5 air fleets and 5 tanks (Usually I have about 8 of each), I didn't invade much and still they became ready for war, that's not bad, It makes you aware of your moves. 2) The AI is a bit sharper, (I haven't finish my game, still haven't conquered the USSR) but those reds are more aggresive than ever before, they don't do so defensive like before, they attack with more aggresiveness, with air strikes, tank, armies/corps attacks, much more often. 3) The technology race is much tougher than before, I only have three points allocated and have only Tanks +1, everything else is as starts. Conclusion: Much more fun, more challenging. Nice.

I'm new to this forum, I'm from Guatemala, so pardon my english, I think the research tech needs to improve, I don't like luck to be the most important thing in the game, I think that the research tech should be out of work, mpp, time, or a combination of them all, 'cause I have tank level 1, then two months later I have level 3, and sometimes I'm in 1942 with Tank level 0, with a pool in research of 3 in just the tank, so I don't like it. It needs some work, other than that, is fine, I got into this game by another game, High Command wich I played back in 1993 (I think), which is great, but lacks a good AI, a good thing in HICOM is that I need oil and Iron Ore to build tanks, planes, army, etc. So I must go and invade and conquer in order to grow a nice army, also I like it that I can stack units and unite units. Which there should be some stacking and some ability to combine units in Strategic Command ET, but there should be limits to stacking, since in HICOM I could stack too much, so I build up tremendous power and no one could pass through me, I like playing the Axis, in this game, the US should be more important (more mpp).
