Thantis Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 The demo is great - now that the annoying Invasion France bug is gone. I waded through the French Army & took Paris before Fall 1940 (found out how potent airpower can be in sustaining the attack). Then I found out how difficult Sealion will be in this game. I managed to get a couple of armies across, reinforced by a tank unit a couple of turns later, but when the Royal Navy moved in, it was a massacre in the Channel. I ended up using Italian units as bait to draw the British Navy away from the real landings (my German reinforcements) & took London after pounding it with all of my available airpower. Then I find out that Churchill backs up to Manchester & refuses to surrender. With a few armies and corps between me and him, and my inability to reinforce most of my existing units on the ground, I was very happy for the end of the demo in May 1941. I could have probably knocked out England, but definitely not before late Summer 1941 & Barbarrosa would have to be put off until 1942. I can't wait to get my hands on the full version of this game. I am reading "Third Reich Victorious" & "The Moscow Option" in advance of the game coming out to come up with some more ideas for possible strategies. Quick Question - will Demo Saved Games be available to be used on the full version of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloid Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hmmm... perhaps I'll bump up the difficulty, as I had no problem getting an HQ and 6 units across the channel. All that with no Germany Navy at all, though I had enough air-boys to frighten the Brits away... apparently... I REALLY like this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
