  1. Some thoughts / impressions on the Barbarossa Campaign as the Germans vs the AI on intermediate difficult level:

    a) regarding Italy events in 42:

    - there are no real consequences caused for the russian campaign, by the Allied landing in Sicily etc.

    The 30 MPP penalty isn´t enough to cause trouble for the german player, as he, at this point, already starts to swim in MPPs.

    - After the Italian surrender, it feels not correct, that the italian forces stationed in Russia, still continue to participate on the fight.

    B) Axis Minors:

    - I believe there should be a limit regarding upgrade levels for this units.

    c) German Reinforcements (2 mech, 1 Tank) in 42:

    - maybe a costly and therefore a difficult decision in the `42 campaign (see AAR), but in my game, I received these units after the tipping point of the campaign was long gone. So I got an additional advantage over the AI.

    These are my impressions after my first Barbarossa campaign. As I´m just an average player, I found it a bit too easy to get a decisive victory. I know AoC isn´t a simulation and also should be fun to play (I also like to win my games), but in comparison with previous SC games, I felt a little less challenge the more the game went on.

  2. After Italy declared war against Greece,

    I decided (in a moment of wishful thinking)

    to evacuate the Greek troops to

    North Africa to help fight the Germans there.

    But after Greece surrendered, these troops naturally

    disappeared, except for the Greek HQ.

    They were sitting in their transport ships, awaiting orders.

    While I highly respect their fighting spirit, i think

    they also had to go to prisoner camp.

    I´m playing GC Gold v1.02

  3. Hi

    recently bought the Gold bundle & immensely enjoying it.

    here´s my question:

    playing as the axis, i ordered several SNLF troops in 1940.

    Now in 1941 i´m getting a lot more of those troops per event.

    So my purchase screen now shows, that i have -7 SNLF troops available.

    (see attachment)

    Is this intended, or did i "cheat" unintentionally, because i have now

    7 SNLF units more than i´m normally allowed to have?

  4. Myself, I have found I tend to have a European bias, .

    Oh no, I´m waitíng so long for a playable Pacific game. I own UV, but didn`´t got into it. WitP never was a resonable choice for me.

    As i said in another forum, i feell, i have too often invaded Poland, France & Russia.

    I´m glad to see there is a game coming covering the Pacific Theatre, that suits my preferences.

    Played SC1, but never SC2, but SC Pacific is a must buy for me. Can´t wait until its release.
