I suppose I need to suck-it-up and go read the .pdf manual, but I need some help. In the last couple of games my leader has been advantaged or trailing the AI leader and none of the in-my-sights cards in my hand turned yellow during my turn. I don't think I had an offensive maneuver card to play but I don't understand why I couldn't just open fire on the plane I apparently had the drop on. We were at the same attitude if I'm remembering correctly. Thanks! -Chuck

Ouch! Nah, don't take it personally. I about fell off the toilet when reading of Tom's(?) repeated helicopter crashes a few issues back...

Game ordered! Now I just wish there was a d/l purchasing option so I could get playing right away...well good things come to those who....

Good thing I read my copy of this month's CGW. I totally forgot about this game coming out. I spent some time with the demo this weekend and decided CGW was right. This one is a keeper!

The learning curve isn't that bad, no worst than any well developed 4X game. My problem was the Air and Naval combat models, especially regarding carriers were broken. The game is still on my HD and I'm hoping the next patch, which it seems we've been waiting for a long time, will address this. [ April 19, 2003, 08:49 AM: Message edited by: ChuckK ]

Good stuff there, Santa. I've printed it up and stabled it to my copy of "Terif's thread." Sorry if I covered old ground. I did go back a few pages before posting but didn't see anything. Perhaps a separate sticky on strategy and tactics might be in order. [ April 13, 2003, 09:10 AM: Message edited by: ChuckK ]

Hi all, I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks while I experimented with the game. I went back a few pages and saw many threads devoted to grand strategy such as defending against the Dutch gambit but little on basic tactics. I'd like to hear some opinions on breaking a defensive line. All things being equal such as terrian, would you attack a corp unit hoping for an easy break-through and encirclement or tackle an army unit head on with brute force? Thanks!

Thanks all, good stuff. Now that's something I didn't know and makes a difference in how I approach things.

Hi Folks, Just a quick hello, I downloaded the demo last weekend and had enough fun to order it on Monday. So far, I've been late to work every day since it arrived trying to get 'just one more turn' in before heading out the door. A couple of questions: 1. Is there a hot-key that will display all of a unit's values (Spotting, Sritke Range, Soft Attack, Tank Attack, etc)? 2. How do I keep an invasion force 'in-supply.' When landing a large force in Norway as Germany my units quickly go out-of-supply. Do I send an HQ unit with them? Thanks
