hmm i have a problem it's unable for me for to bmb london because everything i send there is shot down by spitfires all my me-109 and 110 no chance ita impossible,how should i invade britain without airforce???

Morphling,

You must have had very bad luck.

In relative terms German initial fighter units should be stronger
in version 2.2 compared to version 2.1.

Hubschrauber,

"Also in a 2.1 game I was playing as Germany, I spied on the Brits and noticed there sending alot of units into northern Canada. I see you've put some Outposts on the north east coast, but maybe more are needed in the far north."
Hubschrauber

Yes. future playtest-reports will tell.

"I'm not going to play this right of way, I'm in the middle of the Battle of Britain, playing as Germany."
Hubschrauber


OK I see.

I've beehistory as possible (excluding air and naval battles). And I'm not building up a huge tank force until I research more heavy tanks so right now I relying on my Luftwaffe to do the most damage.n bombing London for 4 weeks and reduced a population of 28, down to 1, destroyed every city imrovement, and destroyed every last garrisoned unit (including a KGV). Next target: Portsmouth.
Hubschrauber


Yes, houserules can for sure increase realism.

"I'm also playing TGW as Britain. I haven't played it in awhile, but I still like it."
Hubschrauber

I am glad to hear that.
Now and then I consider to make a new version of TGW-DIV.
Should interest for Civ 3 continue to be strong its possible I will
make a new version in the fall.

"And again, this is the best scenario out there and I appreciate all your hard work and time thats gone into it."
Hubschrauber

Thank you!

Week 19, part 2:
I took Khartoum but lost a Pz III there.
Before I go on, perhaps the FW 190 should get following versions:
FW 190 A (1941)
FW 190 G (1942, perhaps Ju 87 should be upgraded to this version; excellent fighter bomber; both roles high values; but perhaps too super unit?)
FW 190 D (1944)
Ta 152 C (1945) (H version not very logical to implement as height is not able to be simulated)

So I propose: FW 190 A --> D --> Ta 152 C
Ju 87 --> FW 190 G (RoF also 5, same attack; FW 190 G was an excellent battle plane, could have carried even torpedoes (same as Ju 87 D version for Graf Zeppelin)

But back to the game:
New BB ready: Heimdall. New CV: Friedrich Christiansen.

Also Kirkuk and Ayan could be taken.

PC turn: Nothing worth to be mentioned happened.

imgrumpy,

Thank you for the reports.

"German Warplan -

Russia has a substandard military until the introduction of the T34. Therefore, Germany must capture as much land from Russia to eliminate it as a major power and forstall its attempts to gain new technologies. France lacks the technical ability to pose a serious threat to western Germany. A few well placed defense units can easily keep the French armies at bay until we are ready to deal with them. Russia is the long term threat and must be dealt with immediately. Only Britain poses a significant threat under this proposed warplan. They will gain technological parity with us very quickly and their navy is tremendously powerful and numerous. We must put full effort into launching large capital ships such as the Bismarck and continue rapid production of U-boats. Germany will gain numerous fruitfull lands in its conquest of Russia to further its ultimate goal of unifying Europe."
imgrumpy

Sounds like a very good plan!

"Week 36
Cities captured: Danzig
Report:3rd Panzer Div takes Danzig

Week 37
Cities captured: Warsaw, Radom, Copenhagen
Report:French test my Fortress Line just south of Cologne with many French casualties, none for me. A task force of British WW1 destroyers attacks my minefield northwest of Hamburg, elevating its experience to elite while taking no damage. Lost 2nd Mot Infantry Div at Warsaw, 2nd Mtn Inf Div takes Warsaw. 25th Panzer Regiment takes Radom; Poland eliminated! 217th Inf Div takes Copenhagen by sea! Danes eliminated. Paratrooper lost attacking Netherlands incursion near Dortmund.
Unit changes: +19 workers, -1 mot inf div, -1 Paratrooper"
imgrumpy

A very good start.
In most cases Denmark is eliminated so fast that I will consider
to merge it with Norway in version 2.3.
No decision yet though.

"Week 38
Report:U47 sinks British Battlecruiser Repulse, U50 sinks Renown. 6 coastal subs and 6 Type VII subs are lost in this engagement. Positioning German Weirmarcht, Kriegsmarine, and Luftwaffe for operation Barbarossa, except for a few squadrons of bombers sent to the western front to contain any enemy incursions.
Unit changes: +3 workers, +1 Type VII, -6 coastal submarines, -6 Type VII"
imgrumpy

This will be a very early Barbarossa!

"Week 39
Report: U50 sinks British carrier Arc-Royal, U51 sinks carrier Glorious, U52 sinks carrier Courageous. Large British fleet gathers northwest of Bremen. I only have enough U-boats to attack the carriers since the majority of the Kriegsmarine is gathered in the Baltic for Barbarossa. I have split the Weirmarcht and Luftwaffe into 3 army groups of equal size. Army Group North will drive along the Baltic coast towards Leningrad under the cover of the navy's heavy guns. Army Group center will drive towards Minsk and Smolensk. Army Group South will drive southeast to the Crimean pennisula.
Unit changes: +1 Me-109"
imgrumpy

This will be very interesting to follow.
I am also looking forward to hear how France-AI will react on the
fortress-units at the Italian border.

"Week 40
Report: U51 and U52 sunk after valiant fight. First Panzer IIIe produced in Berlin.
Unit changes: -2 Type VII, +1 Type VII, +1 Panzer IIIe

Week 41
Cities captured: Liepaja, Brest-Litovsk, Lutsk
Report: For the loss of U53 and U62, U47 sank French Hvy Cruiser Colbert. Operation Barbarossa commences!!! 14th Inf Div takes Liepaja. 29th Mot Inv Div takes Brest-Litovsk. 209th Inf Div takes Lutsk. NO GERMAN LOSSES!!! 21 Soviet losses (13 ground, 8 air).
Unit changes: -2 Type VII, +1 Me-109"
imgrumpy

I call that a good ratio!

"Week 42
Cities captured: Riga, Lwow, Kishinev, Gomel

Report: U50 sinks one British Hvy Cruiser, U63 sinks another British Hvy Cruiser, U64 lost. 3 from a squadron of 6 Type VIIs lost intercepting a squadron of British Southamptons off the Norweigan coast, sinking 3 of 4. Soviet Baltic fleet sinks 4 German 1939 destroyers off Romanian coast. Lost all remaining coastal submarines attacking Hvy Cruiser Kirov, Battleship Marat, Battleship October Revolution off Tallinn. Predreadnaught Schlesien sinks October Revolution. Scharnhorst sinks Marat. Gneisenau sinks Kirov. German destroyers and cruisers tackle the numerous Soviet submarines, sinking 27. While attacking Riga, 2nd Panzer Div is destroyed by a regular Soviet infantry...SERIOUSLY!!! 1st Light Division avenges this loss by taking Riga. 60th Inf Div takes Lwow. 246th Inf Div takes Kishinev. 3rd Mtn Inf Div takes Gomel. 56 Soviet losses (12 ground, 12 air, 32 naval)."
imgrumpy

Heavy losses for Soviet. It will be intersting to see if there will be any
Soviet counteroffensives soon.

Thank you for the reports and welcome back.

Speaking of which, lets hope the Japan AI finally decides to build some Otsus this time around.:rolleyes:

Bleh! I actually managed to forget this was coming out today Rocoteh, now I have to change my plans for tonight. I'm going to start a game as France, since I think it will be more likely someone else will do a Japan test for you.(I'm itching to play a Japan game though, for some reason. I LOVE big naval battles!:blush: ) Let's see how that Italian border looks...:evil:

Oh, and once again, :thanx:

Sasebo,

Thank you.

On the Otsus:

Agree!

France is very tough to play.
It will be interesting to hear how you will handle Italy, now when
there are a large number of Italian fortress-units at the border.

Interesting ideas. I will have them in mind with regard to version 2.3.

It seems like Britain have lost its capacity to counterattack in Asia.

Week 20:
U 99 sank off Anadyr a Soviet SC. This is the first success in the Pacific for the Kriegsmarine. I just arrived there with a flotilla of 28 Uboats. U 127 crossed the US maritime border near Augusta to look for a convoy U 194 spotted last turn. It contained a TR, a WW1 DD and two BB C2. I let U 127 attack the DD and then retreat. So near at the coast the US have enough bombers to do much harm against my Uboats and so the destruction of the only available ship that can spot Uboats was immanent.
U 80 off Panama, in the Pacific, sank another US ww1 DD. The second success there! In the Atlantic the damaged U 331 sank an unknown submarine.
Also new BB ready in London: Mjöllnir.
Oh another remark: Perhaps you could introduce German self propelled artillery like the Wespe or the Nebelwerfer. As well as for the allied nations the Priest or the Katyusha.

In the meantime I conquered Istanbul and Adana from the turks loosing 7 Stukas there.

I have to stop here.

Adler
 
I wasted an hour trying to load this because I forgot I had not yet installed the WW2 Global folder before I tried to load the scenario...:blush: Silly me!

Only about 4 turns in, so too early to tell. I sailed my navy out of Marseilles, and the Italians promptly sank two BBs.:( Well, I paid them back, sank two of theirs and 3 CA so now we're even. Sort of. I lost like 12 subs whittling down their BBs. The Med is off to it's usual rousing start. Only way you could make it even more frantic is if they had transports to start down there.

I rushed some workers, and am fortifying the Belgian border as fast as I can go. Germany took 3 turns to finish off Poland, and has shown up on the Belgian border. I've sniped a few units north of my fortress line, but I don't think I am going to get too many more opportunities to do that sort of thing. Too costly. Italians pulled off their conscripts from the border, as I expected them to do and have shown up in Belgium, but the fortresses! I was expecting special forts, not the real deal. I have already managed to kill the NE most one, but I don't dare proceed farther, I just don't have the troops to spare. The key is in the door though, so to speak.

I am moving a small force towards Libya; it seems like a sideshow down there. I put the hidden palace in Hanoi, and the Forbidden in the Pacific city to try and make it useful. I just KNOW the fact that I have no troops there has got the Japanese salivating like rabid doggies, I need a garrison!

I like the resources not going over air/sea, it makes those colonies very hard to keep happy AND productive, and the motorized infantry are a good addition too.

Hopefully I have more to add later. I am wondering btw, what happened to that Pacific squadron that France had in earlier versions? I could really use some ships over there right now.
 
So i want to report my game:
took poland 2nd turn ass well as belgium,the netherlands and dänemark on turn 3.i kicked out 3 british bb with gneisnau and schmarnhorst and some subs,the 2 BBs had one hp left and were repaired.i lost my first bismarck after sinking 3 us BBs.After conquering france without any big problems.i tried to bomb london with the loss of about 30 planes(25 me-109+110) and without any big damage.then suddly in 3 turns first us declared war on russia(i was happy about that :D) and then japan announced the war as well so i moved my forces to the russian boarder and fight there (one city taken) and fight a little bit with my navy against england and france

German 2.2

Week 46
Cities captured: Tallinn, Vitebsk
Report: U50 sunk by British Hvy Cruiser on its way back to Bremen for repair. The Iron Cross was awarded post-humously to U50 and its crew at a ceremony attended by the Fuhrer himself. 1 Type VII sunk by British Southampton off Norwiegen coast. U29 takes revenge and sinks the Southampton. U67 gets its first kill, a British Hvy Cruiser, right out of the Hamburg Submarine Yard. With help from Kriegsmarine shore bombardment, 45th Inf takes Tallinn. 3rd Inf takes Vitebsk.

This type of crash have not been reported for WW2-Global earlier.
Thus I can not help you this problem.
