AttilaTheHungry Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Anybody have some strategy and tips for getting through the Ukraine in 1941? I can't get the southern cities on the Dnepr by the end of the year, even with help from AG Center. I feel I'm doing something wrong. Should it be this hard?

Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The scenario is difficult, but thrilling. In the initial stages try to destroy as many russian tank units as possible.. and concentrate on your targets. If you encircle russian units, make sure that they don`t have a link to a city or HQ. But beware: Kuniworth wants the scenario to be very difficult for the germans, beauce he wants it to be historically correct.. and in reality the Wehrmacht lost What I did more or less is to divert any free tank unit from AG Center to AG south as soon as I took Brjansk... reinforce them and then go for Rostov. If you can secure Rostov (or at least Stalino) until the end of Nov 41, you have good chances to win. If not, you have almost no chances. Btw: I play on 100%/+0.. don`t try on 100%/+2, I think it`s impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin I Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I find resistance stiffens a touch faster than seems right. I've never got near the historical german limit despite getting Armour 3 pretty fast. Germans should get bogged down - but maybe a bit later.

AttilaTheHungry Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Okay thanks. I'm getting seriously held up at places like Uman. It's just a nightmare taking a town that's totally surrounded by Russian units. I too can't see how you can do in 41 what was done historically.

Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The key is to be so quick in 1941 that the Russian cannot gather forces around a city.. that is historical as well But I got the same impression as well: that Scenario is a bit more difficult than reality.

Kuniworth Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think problem is how fast russians get IT-tech. If they get it late then the germans just can steam roll, if they get it early then its very hard. I would very much like a script that could give each side an increase in IT at a certain date instead of having to use resources for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
