U-107

well, they never really changed-the south was occupied as the allies went, and Germany controlled the north, so no point.

I beleave he's talking about putting his tanks into a decorative formation...take a screenshot for us...

Different timezone?

Well, even with the plan as it had stood, the German army could have taken moscow before the winter set in, except hitler was more concerned with the POW numbers-but the surrounded pockets of demoralised, starving men with little ammo could have been held by small holding forces while the main bulk of German forces sped onwards to Moscow, and no matter how many peasents grabbed up by the soviets were put in their way, they would have won-even in the historical scenario my Great Uncle sat in a bus station just a few miles from the kremlin ("the bus naver came", as he ofton said...) so imagine what they could have done without the winter setting in when they first began the assault?

Read the great German field commanders works and it'll all go well-just don't do a Bverian Corporal on us...

The funny thing about WW2 sims is that if you were given a scenario starting in 1941 that asked you to re-arrainge the army groups as you saw fit, and you did so using the plans of the major generals rather than hitler, and go for a more concentrated assault and didn't make the stupid blunders which slowed down the advance on hitlers orders (IE the thousand mile drive of the two center tank armies) you'd probably win the soviet union hands down if they followed the same general stratigy, if not even a superior one.

Which was probably programmed in C++, as most gaming engines origionally are.

While I don't think I'd be up to writing a review, i have reccomended both beyond overlord and Barbarossa to Berlin to many of my friends (who have been equally impressed, and have passed it on to theirs etc...) The domino effect...

Yeah-I'd say that would be a good thing, as I've ofton been stuck with moscow, stalingrad and other cities in my clutches, as well as on an extended front-line finding the enemy replacing trooops just enough so that I couldn't destroy them the next turn. Retreat would be a great option to have. As for the man-power, also, what about the quality of the men? The German army had considerably better trained soldiers than everyone else, especially at the beginning-perhaps something should be done to the experience levels, or introduce an entirely new factor-training levels. Players could invest in better training facilities and so on to produce a better soldier. Just a thought...

Well, you have to admit, the Irish sure do know how to kick the ass of a foreign invader....

Ok, hate to sound stupid here, but how do you conduct amphib landings? I've tried before, but could never get troops on the ground. Ok-say I want to invade england-after I've secured air and sea, as well as have my troops on the coast, how do I actually land them? Are there set points they can get off at, or do I have to bomb the ports into the ground? Do enemy troops have to be a certain distance away...etc etc. If someone could just explain how it works, I'd be very thankful.
