Hehe but the Allies and Comintern are allies until Cold War/WW3 kicks off

Anyways.. we'll have to get this party started sometime. PM me a time when you're all available (on subsim) and we'll get rolling.

Started the first game. We got up until April 03, 1936 before Krauter disappeared ending the game.

The only progress right now has been my(Italy) advance into Ethiopia, which I had to manually take control of due to the Torbuk HQ being incompetent.

stupid crappy router... Was just finding where Hoth was too

Aaaah, right; Lion: those numerals are the relative tech-level of the units. Say you researched lvl 3 of all techs affecting it directly (like armament, airframe, engines and fuel-tanks for aircraft) and the unit is fully up to date, it will have "III" there in that box. Something like "II+" means it has some components above level 2.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks!

Krauter · 05-02-11, 05:56 PM

Aaah those are the numerals you were talking about.

Also, if you know when a certain piece of technology came out, or what components made it up then you can get a "unit" or type of unit that you like and use that.

I.e: for Germany, I know that if I research Heavy Tank Cannon 8.8cm L/51 and its other techs up to that level I will get the Tiger. But that is just if you like using certain types of units.

Also note that, even if you have level III, IV or V units going up against I, II or III units, yours won't always come out on top. This is especially true in naval and air combat where the doctrines play a HUGE role in how your units fare.

Some essential doctrine techs for land are: (in my opinion) Spearhead, Grand Battle Plan, Overwhelming Firepower (gives 5 brigades to a div.) and one that shortens time between attacks and raises supply throughput.

If you have any more questions, just post

This is just never going to happen, is it?

I haven't seen krauter online in a while, and my Internet is down until the 20th. If anything we can continue with or without krauts this weekend.

Krauter · 05-15-11, 08:15 PM

Give me a time and I will try to be there everyone.

Internet crashes notwithstanding I'm available most of the times on Weekends and 7EST onwards on weekdays. Just shoot me a PM when you want to play (like Spike did last time...) and I will be good to go.

Well I think picking a (rough) time-slot might be an idea. Lot of diference in time-zones.

I'm available after I wake up Saturday and before I go to work Sunday. So...
1pm(13:00)-12am(0:00)EST which I believe is 1800-500 GMT for Saturday
10am-6:30pm(1830)EST or 1300-2330 GMT Sunday.

Krauter · 05-16-11, 05:18 AM

Same as Spike for Sunday, except for Saturday it's from 330pm-12am

Spike88 · 05-21-11, 03:23 PM

Well, the dude at AT&T put my address as Avenue instead of court. Even though the Avenue address is only a block away, they had to cancel and re-order the package. So I have a new installation date of Thursday May 26.

So the next game will be next weekend. At my parents house to buy the new DLC.
