dasreich Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 just surround moscow dont invade it or even throw anything at it, and you have just cut russian mpp's in half. It works in single and multiplayer, and it is usually what signals russias eventual defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I/O Error Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Is anyone else confused? Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand how surrounding a city will change anything. (I've also never seen an Axis player GET to Moscow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 When the capital (Moscow) is surrounded and cut off from the other Russian cities and forces, what are the effects? Can Russia reinforce existing units or build new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ev Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Cut the head off... I see your strategy. Once I did something a bit like this.

hans-micael Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Use two or three airwings to soften the defence north of the marsh area and concentrate your panzer 3 or 4 and 4 fast moving corps behind a powerfull line of armies to smash the hole - then it should work. you'll get a straight line to Moscow.

hans-micael Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 You have to surround cities on the way - in order to rob them of their supply - they can't reinforce at the same rate - and eventually you can wear them down. protect your flanks with corps and let the army trod slowly after your spearheads - the elite panzer divisions - but be sure not to leave them unprotected - unless it really pays of. The price is the diminishing returns which will criple the sovjet economy. In my latest game it halved the MPP Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
