  1. Just DL'ed the demo and played as axis till august '40. I must say it plays very smoothly.

    What I like the best is that the map is much bigger, you can really force a breakthrough now in France which was almost impossible in SC1.

    The tiles is a thing to get used to, but I'm starting to like it.Diplomacy looks great,still have to see it play out in the whole game,AI seems a bit lazy in this part.

    The interface is a bit clumsy with all those butons that click everytime you move your mouse to the right of the map...

    Looking forward to playing the whole thing in the future smile.gif

    Oh, can anyone comment on the multiplayer experience?

  2. Run!!!

    Seriously,

    * use the defensive terrain to entrench, like behind rivers or swamps.

    * move your airfleets to the east untill you can face up to the Luftwaffe

    * research AT, it's important that your line holds, gotta stop those panzers.

    * build 2 or more defensive lines starting from the Dnjepr river, Russia can trade alot of ground for time, the further the Germans come the worse their supply situation will be and ofcourse there will be partisans.

    * build up a strong counterattack force with a good HQ behind your line to exploit any weakness once you think you're ready to attack.

    * play a good human opponent, look for the PBEM league, lots of good players who can tell you alot more than I can.

  3. OK, here goes :

    1 - Not sure of this one, think the game plays till somewhere in 46. I also seem to remember some victory conditions concerning capitals. Best to check the manual or wait for someone who has been playing the game lately ;) .

    2 - Lookie here

    3 - SC covers the European theatre only, so no world domination or other continents. SC2 will only cover the ETO as well.

    4 - SC will allow you to play the Allies or the Axis, not individual countries. Diplomacy is not a big deal in SC, only declarations of war are possible and these will affect the entry of other countries.SC2 will have more diplomatic options.

    5 - HOI I and II is a completely different game. SC is turn based, not as complex although not simple. SC really shines in PBEM or TCP/IP play against other players, there are really some awesome players out there.

    The PBEM community is quite large, you can find them here.

    The AI is quite easy to beat, even on the hardest setting once you get to know the game.

    SC is a great game, I had many fun hours with it and the community here is awesome as well although things have slowed down a bit since everyone is awaiting SC2!
