I am assuming that where the wire-is that is the direction that the defence is. [Now...to get long-winded!] Otherwise, why have the option to construct a 1-sided, 2-sided or 3-sided barbed wire fortification?. If there was not a definite benefit from expending the extra resources and time to build a more robust Fortress, then what would be the point of doing any of it other than doing the minimum?. So, if in fact there is a point to any of it, then im then going to conclude, that the Fortification's facing is also relevant or important as well!.

"Stalin's Organist!", i concur with your assessment!. I advocated that very same scenario,...a while back... Quote!...by Stalins's Organist: ...and then was derided and scorned for it!. Even up till this point in time, my total experience in understanding WW2 [What-ever-that-truly is] tell's me that i am more right than wrong!.

It might be worth making, but in any event, it probably just about really happened anyway!, so as Wellinton once said after the Battle of Waterloo!, "It was a near run thing!". Wellington's brow was full of sweat!, must have been!, as Napoleone under a little more favourable circumstances, could have easily won the Battle of Waterloo!...and Wellington very well knew it!.

You have an idea there Blashy!, someone is going to need to study up on the real supply configuration's, and then to see how 'Comrade Stalins' 'Scorched Earth Policy' actually affected/impacted the invading 'Axis' forces. The analysis should go from immediate loss of supply & resources, then revisit the Supply-Situation again 6-month's to a year later, to see if supply is recovering,... and if it did, at what rate!.

Normal Dude!: Great Picture!, it's just that Saddam Hussein is basically out of the picture now, and is due i believe to recieve sentencing 'Just Before The Mid-Term Elections', or so i have heard rumor's of that!. I suggest instead replacing his picture with the new upcomming maniacal fanatical power in the middle east, and that is of a 'Shiite-Muslim'???[Not sure of spelling],...anyway this is my recommendation for the new upcomming Middle-East Empire Builder...his name is..."Mahmoud Ahmadinejad!". I wrote an article for 'Sea-Monkey' in this Forum [Try..."Search"...'Middle East' or better still, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,...i think that should do it!] describing how i expected or hypothesized that this Israeli-Lebanon problem was going to expand or act as a catalyst in moving events forward to a 'New Muslim Empire!', and in it i see Mahmoud following in the foot-step's or emulating our old Nemisis, 'Adolf Hitler!'. I mentioned to SeaMonkey,...to name this new MOD as..."The Red Crescent!", so when Mahmoud consolidate's the Muslim Middle-East under his complete control, then...perhap's he would try to get also the Chinese & Russians to assist him in exacting 'Revenge' against 'FORTRESS AMERICA!'.

Original Quote: photonred If anyone is interested, i accumulated a lot of graphic pictures at this discussion forum for the intended re-creation of Tolkien's...'War of the Ring'. Of course only someone who know's the storyline should even attempt to try to do it!. If there are any taker's either use search to find it or ask me for shortcuts to get at them!.

You can't bleed the Russian's as their MPP's come from a bottomless pit!.

arado234 an interesting idea based on an actual possible historical reality!. I would say that this option could be included, however, that could spoil the a-la'-Reguliare' WW2 simulation. It's too bad that we can't toggle on and off these kind's of option's, that could also work in conjunction with a randomizer if one wanted a possiblity of that event/situation actually taking place during the game. This way, it would be set-up as a possible actuating event in the game, not a guaranteed happening. This would indeed add some suspense!.

Post it at CMMODS with the Caveat---'BETA' or 'TRIAL-RUN' or something.

Napoleone lost most of his soldiers due to the Severe Russian Winter, not to combat!. I believe that it was the coldest Winter in something like 50 Year's!. This same freak 'Coldest Winter' scenario also happened to Adolf Hitler!.

You sure know your 'History', "Stalin's Organist!!!". 3-Cheer's!!!.

I was reading a while ago JerseyJohn that instead of us losing our magnetic core, that the magnetic poles are in the process of doing a shift-reversal!. In actuality, if you look it up, you will see that Magnetic North & South have been wandering for quite a few year's!. That 'Shift-Reversal' does not mean that the North & South Pole will directly change places, but in a sense they would to some degree!. After that happen's, world weather changes, and a whole lot of other thing's change that i can't even remember anymore, but what i gathered, is that this 'MAGNETIC MESS' will last for something like at the very least 5-10 year's before it stabalizes again!.

Your right on target arado234 , you've got my vote on your proposal's!.

Xanos: The first thing that must be kept in mind is that the MOD that you intend to install into your Campaign's folder is of the same version that your download is!. If both your game and download are not patched to the same patch, you will not be able to access that MOD!. You can see what version your game is when you 1st start the game, the version number will be located in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. When you download a MOD, also check to see what version it is for!. If the MOD you download does not indicate the version number, then you can still try to put both the Mod-Folder & .cgn file into your 'Campaign' folder and then see what happen's. If that partiticular MOD does not show up for you, then you might as well remove it!. Other than that, i have yet not had the experience that you have had!. For me, the effort worked or didn't work!.

Even though i don't 100% understand all the implications of the argument as much as i would like to, i still like Jollyguy's final assessment/conclusion the best!.

Im glad that more experimentation and development continue's on with alternate historical situations!. Keep up the Great 'Development Spirit',...the last of the mohicans!.

I just bought an 'HQ' for Bulgaria, and i do not have 'Soft Build Limits on',... so i personally am not encountering a problem with this!.

That is good new's, will be checking in from time to time to when it comes out!.

LOOSE mean's -'Not Tight' or 'Not-Restrained'... The 'CORRECT' Termonology or 'SPELLING'...is 'LOSE!!!'...Which Mean's that YOU have 'LOST!!!'.

Very good discussion here, and i for one think that these point's by the both of you need to be taken out of the 'Neglected/Forgotten' page!. This game is, i agree...over-heavily favouring the Allies as described by 'Iron Ranger' , and even if that is so, 'balancing of these issues' is critical so as to not swing the WW2 reality out of adjustment!. Additionally, to the point's mentioned by the two previous poster's above, i would like to see that certain cities have a higher than normal 'Fortification-Factor' , as was historically!. This could be different ratings for each individual city or location!, as they would not all be equal in this respect!. This, of course would be Tobruk, as well as...'Stalingrad-Where the Germans's i believe lost over 300,000 Troop's there', Not-with-standing Leningrad & finally...'Berlin-where the Soviet's lost over 400,000 Troop's in the taking of this City!'.

John Hugo , 'why-not' put out a request for 'help' to share your 'work-load', or in other-word's...'Delegate' out some of your project so that more requested change's can be dealt with!. Many 'Hands' make the work-load light!.

Your point need's to be addressed arado234 , even though im not up on Germany's amphibious capability, i know that it wasn't much of anything!. So as you say, their should be a limit to what each nation is capable of transporting.

I have an idea of how to represent 'Paratroops'!. Instead of that 'Gawdy' parachute, why-not have a parachute symbol or indicator on the unit's base [Perhap's even using most of that base],in other words...the graphic-image that it stands on?.

"NEVER SURRENDER!!!,...NEVER GIVE UP!!!". "STICK & STAY & MAKE IT PAY!!!". "EVERY DAY ABOVE GROUND IS A GOOD DAY!!!".

Hokus!...Pokus!...Smokus & Mirror's!,...It's time for me now to have a few Beer's!.
