And the AI in HOI2 is much better? If you want a challenge there are plenty of good players willing to battle you over TCP/IP. Get ICQ and read the thread titled ICQ contact list and start adding contacts. I have about 15 people on mine and can get a game started anytime in a matter of minutes. You will get more than challenge and forget about ever playing a stupid AI.

I have to agree that Canada would be a more logical choice. A new UK goverment based in Cairo would not have lasted before long. The same could be said about Russia moving its Cap to Stalingrad. Had Moscow fallen wouldnt moving to a more defensible location make sense like somewhere in the Urals?

Well the kicker of it all is I had 7 German tanks at level 5 by Jun 1941. Had the war dragged on i might have been in trouble since my Airforce was weak and still lvl 1. UK had 4x level 3 AF pounding the West front

WOW must be a good game if its Spring44.

Maybe the game thought they were El Duce's crack Italian paratroopers?

Its not that.. Im used to winning anyways. Was just curious if anyone else has had lvl 5 tanks that early?

Just played a game with Guinty where I got lv5 Tanks. Has anyone else been that lucky? Would it have really been possible for the Germans to have King Tigers by that time? Also got lucky enough to get lvl 3 Inf with Italy. Perhaps there should be a max limit based on the time of the war?

The RN should not be defeated by the Germans unless you do something insane like park it off the Euro coast during the battle of France 1940. I played a game with someone who thought parking their RN destroyers/cruiser off Belgium/France in range of 4 AF was a good idea. Once those were almost sunk the whole German Navy breaks out and finishes the rest. Without those destroyers the Subs will survive for a very long time.

LOL you dont even want to know man.

Yea it worked out well in killing those 2 units. Not sure if its worth losing the units for an early conquest of France. I played another player who did almost the same move and I managed to inflict the same type of damage. Another aspect to this is less plunder for Axis when it does take Paris since most of the French units will be destroyed quickly. Less plunder and added costs of Operational Movements to take LC early not worth it.

Salute!

Never under estimate the power of the Buntas! If the Bunta scientists could make a rocket like the V2 then I think its safe to assume they could design a landing craft equilivent or better than US/UK

Not really since Russia only 56% ready. Even if axis cant hold UK it delays 2nd front and allow enough time to deal with stalin.

It was an exellent game and I didnt think i would be able to pull it off. You had UK well defended in my opinion but had the RN split up on both sides. When I sent the Kreigsmarine in its suicide attack on the E side of the Isle it drew away RN from the West Side which is where my invasion force was waiting. I got lucky with getting level 2 Long Range Air so I saw where most of your forces where deployed. Once I landed the outcome was sealed since Level 2 Panzers and Level 2 Inf would take UK. It was 2nd game in a row I took UK against someone but you put up a stiff fight for it! Last player only had one unit defending the whole Island LOL. I think the only way to stop sealion is to bring back almost the whole UK fleet back to UK and scout and shore bombard the Axis ports. Maybe even Operational move of HQ from afrika to shore up Air/grround defense of UK.

You have to access the router config using your web browser. It should be an address like 192.168.0.1 or something similar. Your routers owners manual should have the address and default user name/password. If you dont have the manual then DLink's website should have a PDF of it.

I had same problem until pnzr advised me to change settings within my router. I have played with no problem since. You must set a port setting to 6530. It worked like a champ for me

Thx!! That did the trick. Just saved a multiplayer game after 3.5 hours WOW this game is so much fun!

Having problems getting a game started. When hosting the game only displays my netwrk ip# 192.168.xx.xx???? I finally found my ip# but got a socket expired. The other player also tried to host and i got a socket expired??????? Is there a way to fix this?

Excellent job in creating a game of "Epic" quality. You are a hero in my opinion to us wargamers who have been waiting years for something like this. I hope you know how appreciated you are. I thought the day of classic wargames was gone with the intro of RTS but you have proved that wrong. The game has many cool features that make this a very deep game. The R&D and diplomacy add so much to the game. The editor will ensure this game is played 10 years from now and have a huge following. I have left the game running for 2 days straight playing it a ton and have not experienced any crashes. Questions - 1. Any plans to allow multi player of more than two players to play this game via TCP/IP? 2. Any official Hubert Mods/Scenarios coming? (Korea, Civil War, Cold War)? Hubert - You are the man and a legend!! Moon & Madmatt - Excellent job in keeping everyone informed with the progress of the game. You long hours here on the board answering questions to help others has not gone unappreciated! Regards! AxisGeneral

Just pre-ordered at 9:54GMT! Is this still in time to be included in todays email? BTW- This game has got the goods! Excellent job once again to Hubert
