Codename Condor

Just wanted to say GL in yer download brother Rambo.

Yeah, those bugs are there. I conquered Odessa after fortification bug and Odessa just vanished in the air... Port was still there tho. Center screen is a very annoying bug, Tirpitz plus sub were going to hunt some ships in the Athlantic and it was supposed to be a secret operation...

i was weak early in barbarrossa cos i had very good units in Siria (2 fronts). But i advanced slow taking cities. U couldnt attack cos u were too far away. U didnt know were my troops were so yer units were far away in the begining and after Turquey invasion u had to operate units there. Well, u didnt have enough troops early on, just like me.

HR surrenders. Summer 42. In France i was killing unsupported allied units without losses. And in Russia i was unstoppable, HR recieved siberian transfer but i had being buying a lot troops that arrived early in 42, all of them enhanced and supported. The attacks wre devastating, russian HQ were far away and they werent entrenched, almost 2 hits to kill 1 army. Russian cant handle that in 42. With Turquey and Iraq 5 Italians troops plus HQ plus AF were advancing to undefended Caucasus soil (and oil). Very interesting game. After a blitz start for germany i thought HR had the iniciative late in 41 because a bad diplo investement (Spain not joining was very tough for me) i wasnt earning enoug MMPs and no tech advances. I forgot about tech and start buying armies. Next game i dont wanna be so weak in Barbarrosa.

Devastation near Leningrade, german troops attack killing several units: engineers, tank and 4? armies. Turquey surrenders and iraqs too. Allies desembark in France and i operate HQ plus 2 tanks + 2 armies

Leningrade almost falls, only 1 HP left. I took Stambul and DOW iraq taking oil and killin dfending corps on capital. 2 armies destroyed near Leningrade. HR prepares a great offensive in the North to avoid losing leningrade, i move my troops North too. No advances in tech. Spain went pissed about irish invasion but didnt reach 90% only 80%

From the USER MANUAL UPDATES AND ERRATA: Advanced Aircraft Research - Page 23 ========================== Each new level of Advanced Aircraft research improves the air attack and air defense values for Air Fleets and Carriers. Production and reinforcement costs of Air Fleets and Carriers increase by 10% with each achievement. But if u try to buy a carrier for germany (already at level 1 jets) no AA option is shown to upgrade directly before production. Only ASW and LR option are there. Is that OK? That means AA is automaticaly upgraded for carriers?

****, so i wasted my money for a ****ty 3%. Anyway, i bought 5 chits with germany and a couple or three with Italy, but HR bought 5 chits with allies (UK i guess) so --> that means 0% chance? unfair.

yeah, but not Turquey...Turquey is tuff.

Lets see if i get thigs right. Axis pro coup in Iraq--> Iraq goes to 80% BUT i cant advance my troops thru iraqi soil towards Russia. I conquered North Africa so soon i coulda taken my troops to the caucausus ... in spring 41. BUT i coudnt do anything so my troops were shooting ducks in NA. I DOWed Siria (even tho i remember reading the manual it was not going to like a lot of countries...), i took Siria and now i could advance my troops to Russia...DOWing Turquey.

OK, HR is gone to rest. Gonna try to summarize my opinion so far about SC2. Even tho, the mechanics of this game are so alike SC the whole game is totally different. This is a very realistic game and u have to think a lot what u gonna do. My strategy was to get iraq and spain via diplo and at the same time avoid a fast enter of the war of USA&Russia. But Spain didnt joined and my mighty italian GR1 fleet is in the MED, when they should be kicking asses in the Athlantic. (I saw the red arrows in suez canal and so i took all the navy there but Suez canal doesnt work for axis...(i guess it written in the manual but i dont rememeber)). I spent too many MMPs in diplo and tech early in the game and russia entered war too soon (i guess HR had some diplo chits there) so i didnt gather enough troops to advance more in russia. Now troops have arrived but Russia is now powerful. Weather is biatch. Winter attacks are almost useless and mud is a pain in the ass too. Germany can win the athlantic but i think Spain is needed so the italian fleet can gain access to the Athlantic. I sunk a lot of RN ships and still have Bismark, Tirpitz plus cruisier. Naval battles were crazy this game, u cannot see that in SC1. One thing wrong is that the white color for snow looks so similar to the circle that indicates where to move that u cant see a damn thing. i dont know if this can be changed but it was very disturbing in winter seasons. Anyway, the game looks very very good. I never got disturbed by the tile system (but maybe cos i just dont care too much about hexes). Best WWII strategy game so far? For me, yes.

january 42. USA joins allies and soviet winter strikes. gathering forces around leningrade and in the south im still trying to get to Turkey. No tech advances since a long timea and no diplomacy advances either. I hold only 3 russian cities and im not trying to make too much progress since i didnt have any troops. Now new tank and army forces have been created and im watiing for good weather.

May 41 Pro axis couo in iraq Spain another 10% (60% now)

Spain is watching the movie and liking it so -->10% more to axis Hellraiser is runing out of ships. Italian Navy GR level 1 is preparing to asault SA via Suez canal.

great naval battles near brest. Bismark + cruisier just arrived in time to avenge the sinking of my last 2 subs killing 1 cruisier and 1 BB. Alexandria taken. Still Sept. 40 ?

Sep 40. Cairo surrenders. Alexandria will fall next turn. I plunder 81. USA complains. NA campaign almost over.

Great advances in NA. paratroops land and attack carrier italian armies land and attack bomber plus tank tanks and army advancing.

Augest 40. 2 tanks level 1 +3 AFs + 1 army + HQ advancing in NA. 1 uk corps killed. Tech: HT 1 IT 1 IW 2 jets level 2 + defaults

July 40. Greece surrenders. Norway surrendered 2 turns ago. NA filled with axis forces. Nice tech advances. Subs still hiding.

Greek corps in capital killed, i operated 3 AFs to NA and with 1 more AF in Albania, but i didnt manage to take capital. 1 uk BB sunk and 1 cruisier heavily damaged (1 HP left). HQ + 1 army in NA already.

game plays very well and its fun but tcpip send of turns very slow (SC was much faster).

i didnt take Iceland. I took iceland agaisnt AI and USA readiness jumped in two turns to 50% or something. Lets see what i can do in Greece.

it froze again. TCPIP looks like it ahas some kind of problems at the end of the turn. Anyway, jets level 2 and IWeapons level 2 achieved some turns ago. No diplomacy advances even tho i have 5 chits.

April. France falls. 483 MMPs. No wonder so few, i killed a lot of frenchies. i DOW Greece but i forgot i needed 1 turn for anphibious invasion doh. Bombing Greece and a bomber in egypt bombimg my BB. Preparing Norway invasion.

Many turns with very bad weather--> icy, so Paris is not falling as soon as expected, now its march 40 and italy just joined the war. My last cruisier was sunk near iceland and the sub managed to scape. Now i only have 2 subs.
