Codename Condor

Regarding my last game against terif i must say that Goering was executed for stopping air development and let the allies bomber the fatherland also Mussolini was hung for surrendering, never trust the italians too much... If i woulda continued the game germany woulda turned into Russia, with still finland and persia, egipt, axis minors and poland, 7 HQs and a lot of experienced troops i think i coulda resisted till the end, maybe with only russia land left, in that case, would that been a draw? or an allies victory?

Condor finally conceded against terif in a very close game, i was axis, bid 300. I did a good job in russia this time till i operated my planes to defend germany again, sigh. That only delayed my race east and didint stopped allies advance towards berlin and rome. Axis needs to knock out russia ASAP or all is lost. Also if u dont punch the brits too much early in the game then when u r attacking russia they can come with 5 airfleets level 5 and u r in trouble!, and that was terif did. Perfect timing and powerful invasion when axis is not ready to cope with.

i totally agree with terif in his first post, in all my games ive never had problems with HQs i always said that that was the player personal fault for trying to take the most possible advantage of the usage of HQs by setting em in the front line, well, u have to know that if u r in barbarrosa and u have no planes u cant do that, u want to do it... but u cant. In france u can do it, because u know with 4 airfleets axis cant kill it and brit planes do a good counterattack. What i do disagree is if the enemy manages to kill u 1 important HQ, that is very frustating, and drives to an inminent quit of game. That is the main problem, that surprise attack can win a war, but as terif says u have to try to find out what level the enemy has in LR, if u have disbanded russian planes u cant test it. But u have to know that if the enemy has level 3 in LR in 1941 then its difficult for him to have level 3 in jets, germany needs to divide techs, AT, industry... that would mean axis has wasted many MPPs in LR and few in jets (or less MPPs to buy planes) so u dont have to disband your russian planes and u cant defend your HQ or at list not to get that first surprise.

Im sry to here about that, i just hope i didnt have nothing to do with it about our last game, but remember manstein was attacked with yer airfleet several turns and i didnt say anything, most of the time its our own fault for trying to bring our HQ too close to the troops. I think it was more frustating 1.06 with the air-carrier bug, 1.07 fixes some issues, i just hope SC2 would be the solution.

terif(allies) beats codename condor (axis), i think i am the worst air commander in history, in 2 games playing axis i have suffered more than 14 losses, and i have to reconsider my tactics after france. Also i would like some tech development from time to time.

terif (axis) beats codename condor, bid 150, the LC gambit is of no use against terif he always finds a way to get through.

terif (axis) beats codename condor (allies), i tried LC gambit in turn 1 for the first time, and it was really obvious it was hte first, not well played, tho i killed everything that moved he also killed many of my units, france resisted till november40, thx to the italian swarm corps. I conceded later in the fiasco of kursk, and the failure invasion of france. 1 carrier is 2 carriers short to attack properly. gg nevertheless.

PATCH 1.07: added a 2 city supply system for the UK (London and Manchester) similar to 3 city supply system added in v1.06 for the USSR, counters gamey cutoff of London during Sea Lion Well, we've just finished a TCP/IP game iron ranger and me and in a Sealion Op. i cut london off and he said that he couldnt buy in manchester or in any city, only in london, he will send u the save. Is this a bug?

AS the above statement zap and me declared a draw, i had all russia except urales, stalingrad and the cities and resourses of north irak, and with an invasion in france where he now had air supremacy, could take lots of hours to finish, a draw agreed he never threw the towel in russia but he left me too many cities without fightin unlikely to retake the iniciative in russia, without planes and me with level 14 in AT would have been impossible to break, another cuestion is if i would have retaken france, who knows i reconquered belgium and i had 3 HQs and 11 troops already fightin clsoe to paris, four already to come after fightin the terrible nightmare for me in this game, teh partisans.

gamey gamey...bla bla bla, the Cold War was gamey! do i look gamey for u?

terif axis beat codename condor allies, bid 200. No matter that i killed 2 tanks, 3 armies and 1 or 2 coprs in france he still managed to conquer everything, also i lost 2 airfleets and that was a terrible lost for england. i tried all or nothing in russia to no avail, so i surrender, i dont have the patient to play russia properly. maybe another time.

It all depends who u playing, how well or bad u doing, how many units of the type u can research are still alive, how fast u take paris... BUT the condor flies high with level 15 in jets!!

errr hotseat!, i dont know where i put my head 2day

This is a 3 defeats in a row post again terif, me as axis, bid 200. Was trying new strategies, next time i will do it hotline and save me from weird experiments with that kind of bid.

codename condor collecting another defeat against terif, me as allies, bid 175. ireland-portugal strategy to invest in tech, 5 chits in jets, 4 in long range, well, i think it was almost 1942 (maybe october 1941) and level 0 at jets. With that luck, that strategy and playing with terif u r dead. i soon realized i was. Even more when he even attacked my carriers with advanced tech and a swarm of planes. i capitulated as soon as he attack russia..in 1942!!

terif wins again, me as allies again , 175 bid. Terrible errors costed me the war. Even tho i manage to set him a trap and in 1 turn destroy 3 airplanes and a tank in france, due to more errors i gave it up. if u want to win this guy u cant make errors.

terif (axis) beat codename condor (allies) bid 150, he manages to keep russia out of war for so long than he has half the world under control and earning very high MMPs.

i agree with u terif, this game deserved some kind of AAR and as i cant remember names of cities, dates...its good that u have clarified to some extend what happened. I must only say that Goering was executed for the high air losses, at least in that battle in bourdeux he managed to sink 2 carriers and 1 brit airfleet. The key was that i didnt expect an invasion (i had nothing in france), u were with no fleet, 1 US army deep in the ocean sank, another US army almost goes there (1 point left), another US corps (1 point left) all this due to italian fleet and german subs, french forces hevily damage also, but u did the invasion, all my troops were in russia, and i didnt operate any of em back to france (biggest mistake that costed me the war), instead i operated some italian troops and 3 minor countries' armies, not enuff!. But in russia i was doing so well i couldnt stop lol. I thought u were waiting to build a US HQ, but not, u used the french HQ to give supply, i didnt expect that. If only i have operated german troops the invasion would have failed but maybe that way russia coulda been a real trouble later. Regarding to that bag in kiev u talk about i must say i didnt lose much there, i killed every corps in the way to rescue my dear good oldie veteran Guderian's panzergroup. Von Paulus and his 6th army would have wanted this kind of help in Stalingrade. This game has teached me that u cant rely in italian forces, i think that HQs with 4 of rating are crap, cannon fodder for your troops, u killed every italian unit in your way, that is discouraging, 2 HQs to no avail. I think italia deserves at least level 6 HQs in this game, what is the point in building level 13 airfleet, as i did, if u have a level 4 HQ?? Till our next war.

another victory for terif this time i was playing allies 150 bid, no coments, i surrendered as france fell, wat too early.

Terif (allies) beats codename condor (axis) bid 150. Best game ive played so far. Great battles, attacks and counterattacks. And the fact that u can still lose with over a hundred kills, mostly russian corps. 1 ship and 2 planes every country, terrible losses, first time i see this.

hehe i knew hitler was upset about the meeting but I didnt know that about the dentist issue lol, i guess franco asked hitler to take half africa and divide it but hitler was looking at russia. A very interesting person, Canaris, he made a lot of harm to the axis, and they didnt suspect anything.

there was a meeting between franco and hitler where they discussed the enter of spain in the war, franco ask hitler half africa and part of the moon as he didnt want to enter the war, hitler obviously refused, just what franco wanted, must have been a very interesting meeting, but not for hitler for sure.

Intel could change this game a lot, funnier for sure, but also a bit more complicated, u can do a lot of things with intel: - Sabotage: leave units without suply, give units wrongs orders (Bulge battle), insurrection of units, strategic resources sabotage... - Find out enemy troops positions , i like your idea here Edwin. - Find out enemy tech levels and KDG is right tech theft is already implemented in the latest patch.
