    Game freezes after leaving alone

    in Strategic Command - GLOBAL CONFLICT

    Posted

    Ok, I play a turn and then leave the computer to go downstairs fro 10 minutes. I come back up and this time the screen is gone but the game is in the taskbar on the left and on the right in the taskbar the global conflict icon is located and it has a 3/4 green box blinking. I take my mouse and place ut over the global icon in the taskbar on the left and the only thing that comes up is a white screen with that little icon on it. I did cntr-alt-delte to looka nd the game is running? Any idea? Looks like I might have lost the game now I was playing.

    PBEM Helper Question

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Hi,

    I placed both boxes that pop up under the attachments, the regset comes up first and then the game tries to load all the other turns also with popups coming up i guess

    I like to use the PBEM Helper program to play email games. When I start the program, I get a popup that says RegSet Failed 5 and then I continue to click and it says cant move c:program files (x86) cmbb]pbem and so on

    error 70 permission denied

    I keep clicking and then the program loads. It never used to do this and I am not sure why it started all of a sudden

    I have windows 7, 64 bit but it didnt do this before.

    thanks any help is appreciated

    I am unable to place a picture due to size limits

    New book on 3rd Battle of Kharkov

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    I have the book in my Book Collector data base and this is the description for the book, it was released in 2000 and its not a book you will find in the local library, however, I could be proved wrong since I think I do remember seeing it somewhere recently either at a bookstore or local library. A good company for finding books is at Federowicz Publishing, check them out

    War

    World War, 1939-1945 - Campaigns, Kharkov, Battle of, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 1943

    This book is the first detailed and comprehensive account of the Kharkov counteroffensive, the operations of the SS divisions and the supporting actions of Armeeabteilung Fretter-Pico and 1. Panzerarmee, and is supported by over 210 photographs and maps. By the end of January of 1943, Hitlers armies had been dealt a series of defeats by the Russians, beginning with the disaster at Stalingrad. Successive Soviet offensives had destroyed the German 6. Armee and annihilated the armies of Germanys Axis allies, Italy, Rumania and Hungary. Germany teetered on the brink of defeat in World War II because the Soviet advance threatened to drive to the Dnepr River and encircle the remaining Germans armies in southern Russia. Stalin and the Russian high command believed that the war could be won with just one more great effort. Accordingly, they planned and launched two offensives, designated Operations Star and Gallop. The focal points of the two offensives included the recapture of Kharkov, the industrial heart of the Ukraine and the destruction of Armeeabteilung Hollidt, 4. Panzerarmee and 2. Armee. Feldmarschall Erich von Manstein entered the picture in late 1942 when he was appointed commander of Heeresgruppe Don. Beginning in February he engineered a remarkable operation that changed the course of the war in Russia. Mansteins counteroffensive destroyed or severely damaged four Russian armies and regained much of the territory lost in January. The troops that played the most important role in the offensive were three divisions of the Waffen-SS. Leibstandarte, Das Reich and Totenkopf were combined for the first time into a corps, which was commanded by SS-Obergruppenfhrer Paul Hausser, the senior commander of the Waffen-SS. Leibstandarte and Das Reich participated in the defense of Kharkov, along with the elite Army division ?Grossdeutschland supported by three weak infantry divisions. This handful of divisions was attacked by four Soviet armies, but under command of Armeeabteilung Lanz, was able to hold the city for two weeks. On 14 February, 1943 the SS-Panzerkorps and the rest of Armeeabteilung Lanz withdrew from Kharkov under disputed circumstances that involved Hausser and his violation of a direct order from Hitler. Almost exactly a month later, the Germans had recaptured Kharkov and destroyed or crippled the four Soviet armies that had driven them out of the city in February. The divisions that played the key role in Mansteins counteroffensive were the three divisions of the Waffen-SS. While Leibstandarte defended the supply base of the SS-Panzerkorps from the entire Soviet 3rd Tank Army, Das Reich and Totenkopf conducted a complex series of operations that began with a 100 kilometer thrust to the south which saved the Dnepr bridges, thus securing supply lines for the armies of Heeresgruppe Don/Sd. Subsequent operations by the SS divisions drove the Russians away from the rail net south of Kharkov and wrested Kharkov from the Russians once again. During the recapture of the city, there was controversy regarding Haussers command decisions. Hausser has been accused of disregarding his instructions from superior officers and throwing his divisions into costly combat in the city for reasons of personal and SS prestige, in order to regain Hitlers favor. This study has found that the records of the SS-Panzerkorps and 4. Panzerarmee provide a different explanation for Haussers actions.

    capturing malta

    in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare

    Posted

    Interesting game going on, started the game with barbarossa, captured leningrad and moscow in 1942. I also was able to sweep across north afrika and capture all the flags and for a second I thought I would be able to sweep into the caucasus with rommel. However, iran is neutral, oh well-should i declare war on them?

    Now its not going well in northern europe, allies invaded mainland in summer of 43.

    How do you capture malta? i tried earlier on in the game but couldnt land my paras

    Gameplay - Criticisms and Suggestions

    in Strategic Command - GLOBAL CONFLICT

    Posted

    From the books I have read, their is some stock in the possibility of a attack on Germany from the USSR. I know its a controversial issue and a number of historians have researched this issue. We will never know for sure since Stalin didn't leave any notes from what I know on the subject. I did read a bio on Molotov years ago and he most likely didn't discuss this issue. I agree that in 1941, Stalin wasn't prepared to take on the German war machine. However, in 1942 and 43 it might have been a different story. An assassination on Hitler? Changes in the Allied structure and all of the other "What-ifs" I know we can't prove any of this so and we all have out historical opinions. It's always a good discussion and that's what wargames are all about, "What-ifs"
