  1. the reason i can think is the realiation is controlled ooohh no someone sweared at me, big deal. now if its face to face and i say something you dont like if your stronger you beat me up not much of a discussion or if im stronger you get your friends so people mind what they say and dont tell the true though in their head. Also some jsut do it for fun to start and arguement.
  2. you rock Desert Dave, keep up the good work, and hubert to and the other play testers to
  3. i was wondering what if greace doesnt get attacked, why not having yugo join axis?
  4. what about lowering the plunder and making nations more capable. Like spain having 4 armies 2 tanks, a plane and a HQ. with a plunder of 100mmp, it may not look so intiresting a target.
  5. I was wodering the exact reson why the allies get bidding. I understand they make more by taking sweden or spainbut was wondering if there was a way to get around bids. I find with bids theres to much on front and becomes a slugging match which makes it boring. What about not attacking certain countries or something. I think the USA should get 500mmp sc1 amount because they got alot of dough from Uk. Any info would be appreciated because i just hate bids.
  6. that makes sense now with my reading, because it said italy sent subs to atlantic but were laughed at by germans for there bad subs and there killing was bad in atlantic. that gibralter info is cool
  7. i agree, was reading how the germans sent 86 subs to med and some were sunk at gibralter but rest got in
  8. i got that info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa also i read in my book that they took vehicles from all over europe which meant replacing parts were extremly hard some time (stupid idea to atack eh)
  9. i read that in my book, in artic weather the guns stopped working. Weather Probably no other factor has been as misunderstood as the effect of the weather on the German invasion. Weather is a neutral factor in warfare. The side that is best prepared to use weather conditions will gain advantage; the side that ignores it will suffer accordingly. The underestimated strength of the Soviet Army brought about the peril of unfavourable weather. The German forces were not prepared to deal with harsh weather and the poor road network of the USSR. In autumn, the terrain slowed the Wehrmacht’s progress. Few roads were paved. The ground in the USSR was either a very loose sand in the summer, a sticky muck in the fall, or heavy snow during the winter. The German tanks had narrow treads that gave little traction and poor floatation in the mud. In contrast, the new generation of Soviet tanks such as the T-34 and KV were far more mobile. The 600,000 large western European horses the Germans used for supply and artillery movement did not cope well with this weather. The small ponies used by the Red Army were much better adapted to this climate and could even scrape the icy ground with their hooves to dig up the weed beneath. German troops were mostly unprepared for the harsh weather changes in autumn and winter 1941. Equipment had been prepared for such winter conditions, but the ability to move it up front over the severely overstrained transport network did not exist. Consequently, the troops were not equipped with adequate cold-weather gear, and some soldiers had to pack newspapers into their jackets to stay warm while temperatures dropped to record levels of at least −30 °C. To operate furnaces and heaters, the Germans also burned precious fuel that was difficult to re-supply. Soviet soldiers often had warm, quilted uniforms, felt-lined boots, and fur hats. Some German weapons also malfunctioned in the cold. Lubricating oils were unsuitable for extreme cold weather, with the result that engines malfunctioned and automatic weapons would not fire. To load shells into a tank’s main gun, frozen grease had to be chipped off with a knife. Soviet units faced less severe problems due to their experience with cold weather. Aircraft were supplied with insulating blankets to keep their engines warm while parked. Lighter-weight oil was used. Gasoline, which powered all German tanks and most of their trucks, was subject to freezing in the harsh winters. Most Soviet trucks and pre-war tanks also used gasoline, but the diesel fuel used in the new-generation of Soviet tanks did not freeze in winter. A common myth has it that the combination of deep mud, followed by snow, stopped all military movement in the harsh Russian winter. In fact military operations were slowed by these factors, but much more so on the German side than on the Soviet side. The Soviet December 1941 counteroffensive advanced up to 100 miles in some sectors, demonstrating that mobile warfare was still possible under winter conditions. When the severe winter began, Hitler became fearful of a repeat of Napoleon's disastrous retreat from Moscow, and quickly ordered the German forces to hold their ground defiantly wherever possible in the face of Soviet counterattacks. This became known as the "stand or die" order because the Germans were to stand their ground and fight, or die trying. This prevented the Germans from being routed altogether but inflicted heavy casualties on them from battle and from the cold.
  10. in tank groups is it like having half track unis. or should there be a unit that can move like tanks but strength of a army.?
  11. what about making half units. so when made or reinforced are a max 5. could be used as scouts . scout troops, whatching planes. so with fog your view of the atlantic could be better
  12. yeah its a bit incomplete but isnt bad. just wish when you moved you could attack a unit instead of trying to push them out.
  13. also with low entrenchment helps to hit malta directly
  14. im no pro but it depends on what unit is in malta. a corp then just use italian fleet to gain xp, once that is done use ships with some planes in sicilly to take it out. A plane you (this is if you have equal or betterplane) attack port to draw plane out. and depending on entrenchment bring in fleet if high te reduce it. keep other planes in researve to protect fleet. keep attacking port with plane then using ships until entrenchment is gone then just attack it
  15. beginner's luck i would like to play you in sc1 if thats ok? you can kick my butt around.
  16. thanks for the back up. i was wondering if the first few tried it, i mean it would be ok if i could see some action then nothing. Heres a decent game kinda boring after a while since there is no Ai but its ok. http://homepage.eircom.net/~monalisa/HitlersWar/
  17. lol yeah was a bit distracted in that one. Ok in sc there at that helps defence for tanks How about a tech for artilery that helps attack against troops. Or if it doesnt damage troops then how about it affects entrenchment

  21. It weighed nearly 1344 tons, and could fire a shell that weighed more than 7 tonnes at distances up to 37 km. As part of the planning for Operation Barbarossa in October 1939, Hitler initiated orders for the production of three 80-cm guns. Dora Dora was the second gun to be produced. It was deployed briefly against Stalingrad, were the gun arrived at its emplacement 15 km (9 miles) to the west of the city sometime in mid-August 1942. It was ready to fire on September 13th. However it was quickly withdrawn when Soviet encirclement threatened; when the Germans began their long retreat they took Dora with them. Dora was broken up before the end of the war, being discovered in the west by American troops some time after the discovery of Schwerer Gustav. Langer Gustav The Langer Gustav was a long cannon with 52 cm caliber and a 43-m barrel. It was intended to fire super-long-range rocket projectiles weighing 680 kg to a range of 190 km. This gave it the range to hit London. It was never completed after being damaged during construction by one of the many RAF bombing raids on Essen. P-1500 "Monster" Although it never left the early planning stages, there was a plan to build a 1500 ton tracked self-propelled Dora, the P-1500—armed with one 800 mm, two 150 mm guns and powered by 4 U-boat diesel engines. It was dubbed "Monster" by Albert Speer
