Rocoteh,
playtest report
HUGE
sid
Germany
wk 15 '40
declared war on soviets.
wk 22 '40
after taking numerous cities minor slipup and lost a forward city with 13 jb87's. figured it balanced out the fact the russians have no air force in place yet!
wk 35 40'
Russians only have about 6 cities left on the east side of the Urals. Their tank force is now finally starting to dwindle below the sustained high 50's of t-26's
General report:
took crete and British control island city east of crete.
bombardment of gibralter but they are heavily garrisoned
US has over 350 infantry, UK is nearly 280
US is building heavy cruisers and just started C2 heavy cruisers (wk 30 40') and major battles are occuring in the open waters of the N Atlantic!
Japan withdrew or lost all her destroyers in the north atlantic.
UK is bombing German cities (nice to see that actually)
Japan has taken lots of cities on mainland china and has a northen phillipine city
Dumping enormous resources into science but it is slow going. US has C2 heavy cruisers and I am still 20+ turns from getting either those or Panzer IIIg's I was not to happy with this slow science rate thing but now I am thinking this is kind of cool. emphasizes the German lead in science in the beginning then a tide swing to the allied's. (all that book burning!) I'll probably go IIIg's as I have the Bismarc class which rules the atlantic at present.
Italy has a considerable amount of battleships in the mediterranean and they still have them which is also nice to see. They also are assisting quite effectively in the N. Atlantic against the brits. However, they only use subs and light cruisers! no battlehsips there!
In regards to Italy, I am in the process of sending tons of engineers to mine and irrigate their land as nothing has been done! they may need a few engineers to start with. (kinda like England and their polution problem in the small map version)
On that note, England doesn't seem to be mining any of their land either!
England has 5-6 king George battleships but I dont know where. obviously not in the north atlantic. They are also building tons of the recon bombers I think that is what they are called. They are also building the 1939 destroyers by the boat loads. (pun intended)
The US took a japaneese city on the northern island but quickly lost it back, I think that has happened a couple of times as the city is now only a size 3!
Problems:
Slow science, its cool but at later stages it will be seriously off based in my opinion. As germany will probably never see the jet fighter!
my resources in the city view shows two alluminum icons, one I have 2 of and another I have 8 of!
Russia doesn't build any planes? I am wondering if they have an issue with their science rate but time will till. I will leave them large enough to see if they get the t-34's
US/UK building tons of infantry (iffy problem)
I can send you a save game if you want to see or look. I have lots of spys and lots of money!
