Amy Aemilius Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 After upgrading to Patch 1.04, I started a 1939 campaign playing on the Allied side. I noticed that after Warsaw is taken, the computer Axis doesn't search and destroy surviving Polish units adjacent to the Soviet border. Consequently, Eastern Poland is not occupied by the Soviet Union. I am now in early 1940 and the Polish units are still there. Is this an oversight or a bug?

Amy Aemilius Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 I guess the best Allied strategy is to pull your lone Polish air unit to the Soviet border and 3 Polish ground units to the Soviet border. Then the computer axis shifts all of its armies to the west. Walla, the Poles come out of nowhere and liberate Warsaw and on to Berlin. The Allies can beat the Germans in 1940.

Amy Aemilius Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 I guess only a woman can pull out an Allied victory in 1940. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh gosh darn -- good at this as well as all the other many million myriad things they are also good at? And here I imagined this was one of the last remaining machismo hideouts...

Amy Aemilius Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 You damn right, generally speaking women are the stronger sex. If the decision making during this period were to have been controlled by women, there wouldn't be any war. The women would have ended it and tell the men to go back to work. MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR. LOL.

"Gulf War"? Yawn! We need to have a good, global furball right now. Simply so gamers can have something decent to play. It's so selfish of us not to. Get out there , and attack your neighbors. Start small, and we can build from there! Think of the next generation of gamers. A just and noble cause if there ever was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Aemilius Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 Here is an update to my campaign. Withdrawing your surviving Polish ground units on Turn 1 to the Soviet border did have negative consequences for the Axis AI. First and foremost, the AI had to garrison the conquered areas thus limiting the forces available to strike France. Second, the plunder for conquering Poland was not available until April 1940 time frame when Poland capitulated and the Soviets annexed their share of the spoils. Third, the Axis AI started battering the Maginot line to no avail. Then Italy entered the war and the Axis AI used Italy as the springboard for a France invasion. Other than a corp unit in the port city of Marseille, there was nothing to stop the Axis juggernaut. France eventually falls in the late 1940 but the British had enough time to build up its research capabilities. :eek: Well, I thought, I had the upper hand and decided to kick the Italians out of North Africa. The Italian fleet was destroyed a long time ago. I gambled on using the Gibraltar corp to the campaign and leaving that valuable real estate undefended. To my chagrin, the Axis AI landed in Gibraltar. So I guess the AI is not so stupid or dumb after all. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
