I ran into a problem like you described with the Stalingrad scenario. It turned out that it was my graphics card (GeForce GTX 660). Dramatically reducing the quality settings fixed the crash issue for me. This game can easily overwhelm a graphics card, so you might try reducing the settings to...

Short of playing both Germany and Italy in hotseat mode (I can't because it crashes), the next best thing is to use IGE nudge things in the right direction, such as teleporting some key units for capturing Warsaw, or giving Germany some extra units to help it invade France (after all you are...

Go into IGE "safe mode" and it should not crash. (Right click on the IGE icon to get the option to choose safe mode.)

Try going to safe mode in IGE, then you should be able to change players without it crashing (at least that is what I have to do.)

I did not have any crashes when I played England (well, aside from some directX crashes that were easily recovered from ;). There were numerous times when I had to manually move a convoy. I'm guessing that that happened when their route was blocked.

Having played as England in the 1939 scenario, I can attest to the importance of convoys. The convoys to England included both men/material and Sherman tanks. Both made a significant difference.

I have always gotten the usual option to continue the game.

The log is saying that there is a convoy within one hex of (76,31). It looks like it should be at either (76,30) or (77,30). I'll bet that you will find a convoy there and that if you delete it, you won't crash (or at least you will crash on something later in the AI turn.) I agree with your...

No, use the saved game from right before it crashes. Use IGE to look for a convoy near (within 1 hex of (83,11) and delete it. Then you should be able to end the turn and make it to the next turn without it crashing. Eventually (possibly the next turn), you will have to repeat the procedure with...

I agree on the blitz promotion. Either one extra attack, or no extra attacks starting with Panzer 3 or Panzer 4 units would provide better balance and reflect the fact that the German armor didn't "blitz" later in the war (and as the tanks got heavier/more powerful. There are times when it...

If you delete the convoy that is causing the crash with IGE, it removes it from the game so it should no longer present any problem. Eventually, you will run into the problem with a different convoy and will have to delete that convoy as well. But other than that, all I had to do was go to the...

You might try moving the Stukas back to the western edge of the map to help repel russian attacks. The Russians don't have enough air power to intercept everywhere. Just make sure that the targets are important enough to justify the material drain. One example is if it is the only way to hold an...

Ahhh, like the 27 different applications and/or windows I currently have open... Thanks for the explanation!

I have a dumb question. The recommended memory I've seen for the 39 scenario is 4GB while the recommendation for the 36 scenario is 8GB. Since Civ5 is a 32 bit application, how does the memory above 4GB factor in?

I would like to add that it is also very important to be very careful with your air power as they are a real drain on material to rebuild. As one example, save the Stukas for areas where it is "safe" (either no Russian fighters in range to intercept or after you have done enough air sweeps)...
