Grunts Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Any Ideas on how to defeat the French before the Russians enter the war? Ive just gotten the game today and have played "1940 Fall Gelb" once(plus demo play). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotius Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Well, I'm pretty new to the game myself, but I have twice conquered France before the Russians get involved. Go through the Low Countries; don't assault the Maginot Line directly. I know it seems like one-hex-a-turn in that crowded little corridor in the Low Countries, but once you capture the capital of the Low Countries, things open up. Use air power to whittle down units at key points. Encircle the enemy instead of assaulting it head on. Buy replacements for your troops; don't let them die. Heh, for all my great advice, it does take me longer than it took the Germans historically. The AI may not be perfect, but it is quite capable of putting up a vigorous fight.

RicKhan Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 My suggestion to keep the USSR from attacking to soon is this. Keep 1 korp each in both cities on the eastern front. Warsaw and Koniegsburg. Also a naval unit in the port. Increase the garrison with 1 unit every 3 months starting about june40, when 5 land units have been placed build a HQ to command them. Even if you need to strip the east of its garrison because of some unforseen reason, try and keep a min. of 2 korp and naval unit. It won't stop the Soviets completly but it should buy u time. Keep an eye on the WAR MAP. when it goes into the 70's, prepare have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
