I can only do games during the week early in the day, if hoi4 or something I'd have to start at around 10am or so

tulip flower millennium dawn has been updated

Oooh

#

I do wish the AI was better in MD (I mean, and vanilla too) because I don't remember if I already brought this up but I cheesed the hell out of the USA while playing as Iran in MD using cruise missiles

#

Murdered the entire US Airforce in Kuwait using runway targetted cruise missiles. They kept putting planes there and I kept hitting the airfield with cruise missiles because obviously my own airforce can't compete lmao

#

And they had no missile defense there

snow trout May 2, 2023, 1:00 PM

#

Yea the AI is only designed for Vanilla units and even then sometimes they just cant

#

I find it really strange that when by blood alone came out the AI was actually pretty good. I seen Germany and Italy invade Norway every game, Axis naval invade the UK etc. I really do believe they toned it down for the general players

#

Its only a few lines of code to tell the AI to use meta templates etc but they dont. Only in mods

#

Also Switzerland just poops itself every game now. I bet most people forgot they had a full focus tree. At first they actually did things. Now they just chill and watch the world burn

slender ocean May 2, 2023, 7:56 PM

#

Imagine what HOI4 could have been if they went full grognard instead of simplifying it for people

karmic prairie May 2, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

A world of pain I imagine

#

New Military Industrial Organizations coming up look sweet

slender ocean May 2, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

It'd be my ideal wargame

karmic prairie May 2, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

As much as I like complexity, after a point it just becomes a headache.

#

As of now it's at a good level, though some more complexity wouldn't kill me.

snow trout May 2, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

HoI3 with HoI4's combat is all that was needed. But im sure they sold a hell of alot more copies with it less complex

and you have to send the Bismarck alone out to the north sea and make it back

snow trout May 4, 2023, 3:14 PM

#

lol

#

Thats where we change history. We send it out with escort carriers

#

Real talk though I noticed Semi Motorized have 0 hardness.

#

So putting them with slow Heavy tanks doesn't work that well

karmic prairie May 4, 2023, 3:18 PM

#

motorized in general don't have much hardness

#

mech is where it's at

#

though the mech are faster than the Heavy tanks, their hardness is worth it

#

80% hardness or something like that

snow trout May 4, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

Right but at least in TW it brings the hardness down to where its pretty much the same as a medium tnak division

#

At least until you get Tigers.

#

I do make the crappy heavy tank you get before the Tiger to raise production efficiency. Only 1-2 Divisions worth though. Keeping 1-2 mils on it until you get the Tiger helps alot

karmic prairie May 4, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

Def works if you're going for heavies

#

I usually stick with Mediums w/ Assault Guns

slowly phase out the mot. for mech

What badass and sleek ships. Its no wonder the admirals didn't want to admit the carriers were the future

#

I've got the Bismark and its sister ship along with a fleet carrier still building then my battle fleet is done.

karmic prairie May 5, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

Naval combat in TW is jank as hell, like you gotta have strike forces of like 25 or you're dead from Larger Fleet Size penalties

snow trout May 5, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

I feel the navy game from HOI4 is made for a turn based strategy game. The AI can control dozens of small fleets at once while the player cant do that without staying on 1 speed

#

Like theoretically you can I suppose but only in SP at best

spring yarrow May 5, 2023, 2:44 PM

#

The issue I've seen is having fleets travel far distances to engage a fleet that's spotted

#

you almost need to limit the areas your fleet operates in

snow trout May 5, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

Do you mean when your fleets get there the enemy is already gone?

#

because yea thats a pita

karmic prairie May 5, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

To get your fleet to engage without the enemy running you gotta place the scout on Do Not Engage so it'll track until the strike force hits it

#

Helps to have strike forces split up and stationed in different regions

I play at 1 speed while at war

#

I never saw the point to blasting through the game at 3/4/5 speed - you get no time to think and strategize or react

If I wanted to worry about fast micro in a strategy game I'd play an RTS, not grand strategy

karmic prairie May 5, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

5 speed all day good sir

#

space bar is great

#

I usually drop the speed to watch large naval battles and whatnot

#

but generally I keep it at 4/5

Is there a game tomorrow?

karmic prairie May 6, 2023, 2:21 AM

Should be one, idk what mods though

The Great Sandbox is fun as hell though, AI builds navies and airforce now that you can mess with

karmic prairie May 6, 2023, 2:52 PM

sounds kinda fun ngl

#

also like the idea of the great sandbox, everyone gets to play as literally whoever, wherever you want

#

no strings attached, just build up however you want, design everything to your liking and have a hell of a time killing shit

AI will build full fleets too, battleships and all

Who knows which games have cd keys that don't work anymore though. Id say every top 10 PC game from every year from 2000-2018 is in there though or at least alot of them.

karmic prairie May 12, 2023, 3:07 AM

New Stellaris DLC is definitely one of my favorites, since it fixed my main issue with the game

that being, the early game felt lifeless and so little to do aside from survey/outpost spam

#

I'm down for either one

snow trout May 12, 2023, 1:01 PM

Yea ive read quite a few reviews. They all say its a great idea but needs some fixing. That generally means is pretty good. I remember how people said the same thing about the last 2 HOI DLC's. Can't wait to try it

karmic prairie May 13, 2023, 4:54 AM

Completely understandable man, do whatcha gotta do. I'm all up for hosting them on Saturdays, given I've got nothing else to do here in the middle of nowhere.
For those interested, I am planning to host either HOI4 or Stellaris this coming Saturday. I'll leave a vote via reaction on this message on which one we want.

#

Noon EST Saturday (1600z)

snow trout May 16, 2023, 2:40 PM

I should be there and I am ok with either.

why not during the week, idk

The International Market update is going to be a game changer. USA will literally be the arsenal of democary. It will give neutral players a true game path

#

I feel like they should bundle that with an Infantry Equipment Designer

karmic prairie May 19, 2023, 3:29 AM

#

Personally leaning towards a two part Stellaris game, 1st session at ~1400 EST Saturday, then 2nd session 1200 EST Sunday

#

HOI4 will prob be one session, but I'm down for second session depending on the mod

snow trout May 19, 2023, 7:24 PM

#

If I play Saturday I won't have time to play Sunday as well. Summer semester sucks. Everything is crammed into 12 weeks instead of 16

karmic prairie May 19, 2023, 7:36 PM

#

Second Stellaris session can be the next Saturday then. Gives everyone Sunday

#

HOI4 or Stelly will depend on who else shows and what everyone wants as a group

It's basically a motel I'm in rn. I was thinking of running a mod called The Great Sandbox, since it gives all players an equal playing ground, so everyone can do whatever they want.

Pure vanilla tends to not go well unless it's historical, and we've run that a million times

#

Power still out for 2 more hours. I meant to put the time zone, but I forgot to since I had made past announcements with it included

snow trout May 20, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

Yea non historical has to be extremely well thought out if we have more than 3 players. If we just wing it like last time there is a good chance the same thing would happen again. That game made me super frustrated lol. I still feel bad about leaving but there is a first time for everything.

#

If we want to run a non historical we need to do what I use to do. Put up a post in the forums and have people sign up for countrys

yeah for my timezone it's more preferable at noon

If people want a game, please let me know beforehand, so I don't waste my time.

#

Not hosting any games unless people will actually show

karmic prairie May 21, 2023, 6:59 AM

Well it has been done

#

I may now rest.

I might try to host a game tomorrow if enough people roger up for it

React to THIS message if you want to do a game, at like noon or something idk. Gimme a time and I'll see

I can only play for an hour or 2 or I would. School is kicking me in the nuts

#

I did set this up though. Need a similar monitor on the left to match the right one.

Looks like my setup back in NC

#

nice

snow trout May 21, 2023, 6:59 PM

#

Id like to get a matching monitor but it works for what I need it for. I can watch lectures and what not and do other stuff

#

I'll admit it takes some getting used to. Maybe I need to tweak the settings somehow but its very easy to scroll off the main monitor onto the other monitor. So when playing HOI for example when I scroll right along the screen the cursor goes to the other monitor

karmic prairie May 21, 2023, 7:01 PM

#

Can set it to fullscreen so it doesn't leave the window

#

Borderless it'll move seamlessly

I just sold a gamecube to a military guy. It is treated as me shipping internationally with customs and everything.

Box 5634 PSC 1
APO AE 09009-0057

#

@karmic prairie How do these addresses work?

karmic prairie May 23, 2023, 1:41 AM

#

It will go to the PO Box listed there. If it doesn't fit it will be referred to a nearby Post Office or something, depending on what you shipped through.

#

For me, it would go to my school's supply room, for example.

snow trout May 23, 2023, 4:28 AM

#

Shipped through USPS. I meant to say a gamecube controller not a gamecube. It should probably fit. I ended up messaging the guy, he is Airforce.

#

I really hope they update the German tree since they were involved heavily with each country there.

#

Sweden will probably be something like Switzerland but actually fun because they aren't a city state

#

If they make Norway actually be easily defensible it can give the Allies something to fight before the fall of france

Can't wait

Just a heads up usually Germany goes to the most skilled player because it can make or break games. It really sucks to invest 5 hours for nothing. A good idea is to learn at least 2 nations from each side.

#

@karmic prairie Bulgaria is really fun if you learn how to run it. As long as it's a game where you can invade turkey it's a blast.

How'd the game go?

karmic prairie Jun 24, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

Ended up being probably the best Allies game we've done

snow trout Jun 25, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

Yea I would love to do it again. I'd like to give the Soviets another go

spring yarrow Jun 25, 2023, 2:57 PM

I have a confession to make

snow trout Jun 25, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

Your gay?

spring yarrow Jun 25, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

italy was bumped 3 ticks

snow trout Jun 25, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

Lol

#

Yea I figured it was something like that

spring yarrow Jun 25, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

i wanted to see if we could do it

#

and ya know what

#

we killed that shit

#

germany was the normal though....so that was kinda crazy

#

they were just two ticks like we always do

snow trout Jun 25, 2023, 3:00 PM

#

Germany didn't lose more than 3-4 divisions until D-Day. Usually they lose a good amount on the Eastern Front or in Africa

#

They just kept stacking more divisions until the manpower was gone I think

#

I mean they had 400 divisions in 1942

#

Thats nutty

spring yarrow Jun 25, 2023, 3:01 PM

#

maybe because italy wasn't the "soft underbelly" it usually is

#

i mean, winter still wrecked italy

#

but it wasn't a walk through

#

opening that front in Greece and then D-Day definitely spread germany out really thin

#

you'd have been fine if you didn't get encircled early on

snow trout Jun 25, 2023, 3:05 PM

#

Yea. My entire army of 24 width alpine troops were lost along with my chonky assault infantry

#

I had 5 armys of line infantry with 2 armys of assault infantry and 1 army of alpine troops

#

Every time I try and hold that mountain border with Hungary its a big problem. I can hold the mountains but the terrain around that is plains I think so its easy to get enclircled.

spring yarrow Jun 25, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

maybe level 10 forts on those tiles?

snow trout Jun 25, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

I should have just given that area up and held at the first river

#

I had level 2-3 forts at most of the rivers as well

snow trout Jul 5, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

Yea were at the stage where our HOI group is just to good for most ai

#

I have a thought though. Since R56 you can set more nations to do certain paths than vanilla and buff them.

#

We can set every nation we can to join the enemy faction and buff them all

karmic prairie Jul 5, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

Germans gave us a good fight, but the Soviets got rolled mainly due to the mass amount of friendly AI troops

#

devout bobcat "Oh, we're being invaded, but we're now a DIFFERENT COUNTRY LOL. Sucks to be you...

They need to add the mechanic Victoria 3 has, where if you are invading someone for a wargoal, but that country ceases to exist or something drastically changes where it's a different ruler, etc., then it gives you a heads up "Hey, your wargoal is not valid anymore, but you can keep fighting or peace out."

devout bobcat Jul 5, 2023, 1:37 PM

I wonder who actually flipped the Austria-Hungary focus though

#

If it was Austria, then probably Hungary ceased to exists, which explains this shenenigans

#

If it was Hungary... In my head the invasion should have been keep going on

#

Or I'm fucking stupid and game has it's own weird set of rules that even Devs have no clue

May do a game tonight if anyone is up for it. Also one tomorrow at Noon EST as per tradition

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

If we did something like that, i'd want to go either an axis major or the Soviets

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

Soviets would probably be best since you don't really need to rely on AI

#

But I wouldn't do it like a 4v1 or something

#

and rules would have to be set

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

4v1 wouldn't be bad though, I mean anything player is better than just all AI

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

One person can't fight off 4 players worth of microing at the same time, without a great deal of effort.

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

I've been messing around with R56 Stalin builds, and i think i found a really cheeky one.

snow trout Jul 7, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

I can host the game this Sat. We can play allies or axis. I will set as many nations as I can against us to join the opposing faction.

snow trout Jul 7, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

karmic prairie

This looks super dope

#

Im checking now to see how many nations we can manually force to choose the axis or allies in r56 and vanilla

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

R56 has more options for nations joining Allies or Comintern compared to axis. Might be best to have Germany go Monarch and have Hungary form Austria-Hungary with Turks joining central powers

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

Can always just use Toolpack and make the scenario yourself

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

We could also do world ablaze, by far the hardest mod I’ve played

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

I'd much rather do Total War in that case

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

Total war isn’t updated as far as I know and has bad crash issues in MP from my experience

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

It's been consistently updated, and MP has worked fine for us here before.

#

the problem is that mods like TW and WA aren't enjoyable for more casual players

#

While we want more challenge due to us just rolling the AI, there's only so much we can do before we sacrifice the actual fun

I agree, WA is definitely only for historical games. Rolling the AI just isn’t fun when you can do it without cheesing

snow trout Jul 7, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

I was going to type it but it's to much so yea

#

We can 100% make a harder game for us if I set it up that way

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

The toughest thing is it’s extremely hard to ever lose a naval engagement against AI if you know how to play the game,

snow trout Jul 7, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

Yea the naval game isnt balanced in any way shape or form

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

They're reblancing it a bit in the next patch

snow trout Jul 7, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

Just as in history the Axis navy could and would never compete with the Allied navy

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

Worked pretty good in the beta

weak plank Jul 7, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

There’s always going to end up being a meta though. Allies can never lose the naval war, especially in the pacific as long as you build naval bombers and heavy fighters and micro them to cover air zones fleets are engaging in.

snow trout Jul 7, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

Expert AI just updated on July 5th

karmic prairie Jul 7, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

Can probably run a scenario with Expert AI

#

Only issue is making it too difficult so that the only people having fun are the vets

There are also mods like Magna Europa: Reloaded, or Primo Victoria

#

Primo Victoria is made by the Endsieg devs

snow trout Jul 8, 2023, 9:28 AM

So do we want to wait for Warren today? Im ok with playing at 1pm EST if you guys are.

karmic prairie Jul 8, 2023, 9:29 AM

I'm good to start whenever

#

I'd rather wait than have less people. The more the better

weak plank Jul 8, 2023, 10:30 AM

spring yarrow Jul 8, 2023, 1:11 PM

Ended up as a draw

#

Expert AI buffed the AI to hell

#

Got screwed in Brazil and Algeria, Turkey joined USSR and fucked us over

#

Air war ground to a halt

#

Turns out we had the AI on Challenging Expert AI difficulty

#

we did good for that difficulty, but it was still painful

So I just did expert ai on regular without dynamic reinforcements and it was stupid easy. Took poland in 7 days and france in 2 weeks

karmic prairie Jul 9, 2023, 7:39 PM

#

So basically vanilla with salt and pepper

snow trout Jul 10, 2023, 1:42 AM

#

Almost seemed easier

#

I dunno

#

I did intentionally make as many troops as possible though. I had 2 million active troops as Germany Jan 1st 1940

#

I didn't bother fighting USSR. I think challenging is fine as long as we play smart and everyone is on there toes

#

Personally I enjoy not winning every game, and if it requires giving the AI some advtantages so be it. Its that or win every game.

karmic prairie Jul 10, 2023, 12:43 PM

#

Despite losing the air war, I was able to break the Soviet line as Moscow fell. All I had to do was battle plan and they just collapsed.

#

I enjoyed that one, but the air war was pure BS

devout bobcat Jul 10, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

Well... Your planes alone probably wouldn't be able to do that much

#

Somehow my much fewer airplanes in terms of score for air superiority was on par with yours

#

I remember it was like 700+700, so that was giving us green air

dim snow Jul 10, 2023, 7:57 PM

#

Always add anti air support components

snow trout Jul 10, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

Im pretty sure we all had them. I was even using SPAA

#

Expert AI can be absurd at times

#

Going to try the summer opem beta right now to see what it's like

#

In the developer brief video of the beta they mentioned they changed how the AI uses its infantry and its templates will be better to give the players more of a challenge so thats good

#

I cranked up USSR and the Allies so lets see how they perform

#

Also going to make the Graf Zepplin to check out the dive bombers

#

slender ocean Jul 10, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

You know we always think it's absurd the number of planes sometimes, but HOI4 doesn't even come close to representing the number of planes built by the major powers during the war. Literally in the tens of thousands

snow trout Jul 10, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

Interesting

#

Russia didn't have 7000 fighters in 1 air zone

#

But yea I know what ya mean

slender ocean Jul 10, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

Yeah that part is absurd

#

I don't remember reading about the allies sending 600 bombers and getting intercepted by 8,000 German fighters over Hamburg

#

😂

#

Sometimes I'll be getting 3-1 kill ratios and somehow the AI will manage to keep up in air production it's rediculous

#

What HOI4 needs is a separate manpower pool for pilots like how EU4 has a separate pool for sailors

#

Germany and Japan had big issues with a lack of trained pilots as the war went on. They had more airframes than they had pilots to fly them

#

They were sending dudes up to intercept bomber formations who maybe had like 5 hours of prior training flight time

snow trout Jul 10, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

Yea they need to do somethign more than just ace's as it is now. Its just a slight bonus and thats it

#

They are on the right track with the medal system but need something deeper for pilots. Maybe trained pilots would be its own seperate manpower pool

#

That way just spamming 10,000 CAS or Fighters just wont work

Air wing experience is actually a huge game changer in terms of it's bonuses if you don't equally vetted wings of the same tech.

#

Radar, night fighting, the hard cap for detection, and if you have them fighting on the fly until you die stance all effect how you win or lose the air war, even against AI

karmic prairie Jul 11, 2023, 3:21 PM

#

snow trout Now you have me wondering if the AI trains it air wings or sends them out as roo...

It trains them

#

they always keep almost every plane they have deployed in airbases, rather than stockpile

snow trout Jul 11, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

Yea they do love to do that.

#

It can't be that hard to code the AI to not overload air bases

#

I would rather it be that air bases are cheaper to build but easier to destroy

karmic prairie Jul 11, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

They tend to not overload, I always see them move if I throw a ton of planes on a base and it overfills

snow trout Jul 11, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

I mean if it was needed propeller planes can take off and land off of a grass field

karmic prairie Jul 11, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

They should be easier to destroy, they're already super cheap to build

#

Strat/tac bombing them does jack 90% of the time

weak plank Jul 11, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

I usually lose more planes to air accidents than being shot down.

#

Strat bombing is absolutely amazing, prioritize static AA first, then bomb infra, and mils/rails/supplies after

snow trout Jul 11, 2023, 3:27 PM

#

They are 1250 IC per level. If you want a level 10 airport it cost more than a CIV

#

I am really liking the cheap transport planes in the beta though. Not sure if they are actually cheaper than usual but they are only 20IC. 1 factory and I have 400 ready to go for Poland

#

If you put 10 mils on them you could spam the ever living shit out of em

#

You'd only be limited by the CP needed for air supply

weak plank Jul 11, 2023, 3:40 PM

#

I also was today years old that if you need to open up combat with, but also get a defense advantage in a battle where you're attacking, paradrop on it.

So in the beta you can not mix light and medium batteries on cruisers anymore. The old meta of light attack CA's is dead.

I liek that they are changing up the meta. IMO it made light CL's pointless

#

Now you really cant spam light attack on capitals anymore enless I am missing something

snow trout Jul 16, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

So the Integrate War Economies focus doesn't hinder Hungary or Romania in anyway except for trading. IE Germany gets 13 Oil for 1 Civ instead of the normal 8. Also in regards to the subject manpower which means when you make puppet troops that percentage which is 40% for Satellites comes from that subject. IE I make a puppet division and as Germany I supply 60% of the manpower and Hungary/Romania supply the other 40%.

#

Basicially its a win win

#

Its pretty cool in singleplayer because I can make troops for them

#

In multiplayer we have never done that so it doesn't affect us.

weak plank Did you let yourself get puppeted by Soviets as Poland?

Honestly he probably should have

weak plank Jul 23, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

Poland as a Soviet puppet is ass. as long as you aren't spending more than 4 months in the civil war, and get soviets as an ally, you shouldn't lose to the german offensive

#

The civil war took about 6-8 months

#

It happened in late 37 as well

weak plank Jul 23, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

You can use the decisions to pop it off mid 37 and have all but 2 states be yours at the start

#

He said he didn't do anything to extend the start date of the war but it most definitely was postponed

#

Yea well he only had 2 states

weak plank Jul 23, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

He didnt' do the decisions that give him 2 states, there are map decisions you can do that give you territory and shorten the build up time

snow trout Jul 23, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

He didn't do any of the decisions. It was his first time as commie poland

weak plank Jul 23, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

I just learned about those decisions yesterday myself while testing it.

#

I wasnt ready for war as USSR either. Warren as Turkey popped off the war in mid 38 to take greece and we were at war ever since

#

I had just stopped poppa Stalins purge mechanics when everything started

#

Would you guys want to run that again next Sat? We could switch out Turkey for someone else

Get better at playing Commies?

snow trout Jul 23, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

Yes sir

#

@karmic prairie What do you think about running concentrated industy as USSR?

karmic prairie Jul 23, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

If you get the good tech early, like rushing 1940 fighters and tanks, then by all means have at it.

#

Concentrated isn't bad by any means, just sucks if you are changing your production lines a lot.

#

As USSR you lose lots of retention to the industrial tree, but you get growth and cap.

#

Stacking with concentrated can be powerful.

devout bobcat Jul 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

Besides, if Poland can hold, you won't probably be bombed

karmic prairie Jul 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

AI Germany doesn't really strat bomb

#

So it's not much of a concern anyways

devout bobcat Jul 23, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

Allies though

karmic prairie Jul 23, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Yeah. As Soviets you don't typically face off against them, and they shouldn't be able to bomb your industry anyway if you build it east of Moscow

#

This is probably the hardest i've ever fought the SCW. Fighting on 2 speed lol

snow trout Jul 23, 2023, 10:44 PM

#

Both sides have obliterated each other

karmic prairie Jul 24, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

Got a new Germany strategy for sending 7 volunteers to Spain at the start.

#

Could work for Soviets too

#

Make a ton of 2 width divisions

snow trout Jul 24, 2023, 1:37 PM

#

Yea I force deploy until I max out the volunteers as Soviets and Germany. Works great. Usually I can only reach 4 for Germany and 7 for Soviets.
