Gronq Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Currently playing a mirror game with Clausewitz and was slightly miffed when first Romania joined me at the end of my turn (in the game where I've got the Axis). A couple of turns later Turkey did the same. It's fair to say that Causewitz is wipping the Germans backside and with the bad timing of the entries of Romania and Turkey I didn't have the opportunity to tech up in readiness to defend. Obviously it's the same for both players and will even itself out in the long run. However, in real life countries would be more likely to join when it's most advantageous. Something that needs looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi Gronq, I can see how this is not optimal and I will see what I can do. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 What's the date in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronq Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Summer 1942. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 @Gronq --- Did you SeaLion? I've never had a problem with Romania joining the Axis pre-Barby or really late. This sounds like a cornercase type game given the date. -Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronq Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 No Sealion. It's an odd game where Clausewitz invaded Italy before they had joined (as outlined in another thread) whilst I attempted to take out France completely (no Vichy) which failed. Germany is now hard pressed by the Russians who controlled Odessa at the time of Romania joining. Goes without saying that tech 3 Russian tanks versus bog standard Romanian units can only have one outcome. :-) Personally, I think when a country joins it should do so at the start of the turn so you have the chance of teching up and/or move units.

jon_j_rambo Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Dude, sounds like your battle plans had issues. No SeaLion, no nothing going on in Europe for Nazi Germany in Summer '42....you need to kick some butt. If you're worrying about the Romanians tech at that point.....

Gronq Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Issues is the right word and that's exactly why I needed to tech up. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
