WW2-Global

Adler,

Thank you for the reports.

"Week 29:
3 US subs tried to come through the Pillars Of Hercules. All are sunk now. But just as I remarked DD T 16 spotted 3 US subs out of Lissabon. The Stukas of CV Leo Leonhardy finished the job.
Off America I sank all 4 BB and a TR for the price of 13 Uboats. A good exchange."
Adler

Yes I agree.

"I declared war on the Soviets again because the damned Italians made peace with them. It is a pity that I can´t declare war on them. So I could take Chulkovo and conquered this enclave.
In Africa Port Sudan is conquered by an amphibious landing.
New BB ready: Düppel, Coronel.
In India I attacked and captured Delhi, Rawalpindi and Lahore. I also attacked with my Luftwaffe British forces en route to Japan hold Tibet."
Adler

Soon British India will be German India.

"Week 30:
I destroyed the British Tibet expeditionary Corps with my Luftwaffe.
New BB ready: Mollwitz.
I decided to make an anti submarine patrol with T 10. It spotted 4 US subs en route to Gibraltar. The CV Leo Leonhardy again is sent to take out the boats. So now all of his Stukas are elite. The last damaged submarine, my FW 190 couldn´t sink it, was sunk by U 95.
In Africa Agades and Timbuktu fell to me. Also Aden is mine thanks to an amphibious landing.
In Russia Kumara is mine. There I have soon connection to the Pacific."
Adler

Then you can invade America from two directions.

"PC turn:
I had some fight with the Russians and British. I lost in Africa and India a Pz III G each, but destroyed two British tanks also. Kumana is also attacked by Soviet infantry. It was a senseless attack as they were unable to do any harm. But respect for their courage.
Also my new Pz IV F2 are ready replacing the Pz III G in production."
Adler

That is a an important improvement.

"Week 31:
In Africa my naval planes gave CAS for my troops in Ethiopia en route to Addis Abeba.
New BB ready: Königgrätz.

PC turn:
In Africa I shot down a Belgish bomber as well killed 2 British infantry for the loss of one 88 FlaK.
Also US BB C2 spotted off North America."
Adler

A Belgish bomber! That is a suprise.

Thank you and welcome back.

Okay it took the AI around 30 mins on the first turn on my fast computer, the graphics were fast its just A LOT OF units.
*
Week 36, 1939: France, Regent:
I attack along the German side of the Magniot line to no avail, also attack italy to no avail. I set up a 3-4 layer blockade of the English Channel. I blockade Caglari, Rome and Tripoli and begin plans for North African invasion. The Italians sink the British fleet near Malta, break all my blockades and cripple my fleet; although the poweful British fleet near Tunsia is capable of reversing thier victories as is my fleet. Surprsingly the Germans attack via lowlands (like reality) and they fail and give me the idea to attack them that way; my atlantic patrol is sunk but the Germans lunch no offensive in the channel.
 
Week 32:
Addis Abeba thanks to my carrier planes taken as well as Caluula by an amphibious landing. And Mao is also mine. The French are in severe trouble now.
In Russia I could take Verchojansk. And then Khabarowsk is taken. That allowed me to break through the lines and to take Amgu. This breakthrough made me able to form tow attack forces, one at Vladivostok, the other at Vanino. Nevertheless I do own now a Pacific harbour and have seperated the Russian capital (Vladiwostok).
Five Uboats were lost until finally U 250 sank the US BB.
New ships ready: CV Ernst von Althaus, CV Gontermann, CV Heinrich Bongartz, CV Walter Höhndorf.

PC turn:
The only interesting to tell is that 28 Russian units tried to cross the border near Vanino to make stop offensive actions against Vladivostok. Also a Uboat was sunk by an enemy sub after sinking one of theirs near the Azores. And a British KGV and a Soviet BB C2 in the Pacific (!) were spotted, one of them can be sunk by Uboats (KGV).

Week 33 part 1:
Vanino taken. And then I had to use every unit available to take out the Russian ambush. Because partly attacking with dmaged units I had three losses but all Russians are history now.
Battle in the Atlantic near the Azores. My T 16 spotted 6 US submarines there. The Stukas of CV von Buttlar Brandenfels were sinking 2 and damaging one. T 16, T 17, which is my first 1942 DD to become elite, T 13 and BB Baden can sink the rest. But with that blow the US submarine arm is history.
In India Katmandu and Nagpur were conquered.
4 Uboats were lost by sinking the British KGV BB.

So much for today.

Italy 2.2, Chieftain

Week 9
French Battlecruiser Strasbourg sunk in port of Tunis by Italian BBs.

Week 10
Siege of Lyon continues.

Week 11 Lyon
Japan declares war on Russia! Germany takes Paris. 4 German Panzers have surrounded Lyon from the North. Together our strength should break the French resistence. 4th Alpine div takes Lyon before the Germans. Ha ha

Week 12 Toulouse
C2 BB Pax Romana launched at Rome. This will be the Italian flagship. 2nd Alpine div takes Toulouse. Germany takes Leipaja, so the war with Russia has come to blows. We shall see if Russia can withstand German technical might with its vast numbers. At least my posessions are insulated from the conflict for now.

Week 13
Siege of Bordeaux begins. The Germans are sending conscript infantry against Strasbourg.

Week 14
A few more French Lt CA show up near tunis and are quickly dispatched.

Week 15
Germans take Riga

Week 16 Bordeaux
A few more French Lt CA show up near tunis and are quickly dispatched. The French navy should almost be eliminated by now. Germans take Pskov. With a combined air and ground assault, Bordeaux is taken. I now have secured rubber and oil resources. Only Strasbourg and Brest remain in French hands.

William GBTW,

Thank you for the report.

It will be interesting to follow how well Germany-AI plays
in this playtest. Quality of play differs somewhat even at the same
level.

Welcome back.

2.2 Japan Sid 1940 week 43

- conquered all China, c China, North India to Kabul, all Pacific but Australia and a lot of SU cities ( at war from 1940 week 10 ).

- discovering a tech every 10 turns.

- units situation ( only significant forces ):

JAPAN

100 worker
9 Yama
15 transp
8 Battleships
180 jap inf
49 A6M Zero
78 Type97 tanks
24 D3Aval
90 B5N Kate
7 jap SNLF
11 heavy art
4 Shoka
45 jap militia

GERMANY

5 Bism
89 Germ inf
88 Germ 88
26 Me-109F
50 Panzer IIIg

GB

116 workers
23 transp
5 Battleships
53 Spit Mk V
191 Brit inf
37 cruiser MkI
17 Spit Mk I
8 Hurric
32 Blackb
82 Matilda 2
35 Valentine
30 King G
217 Brit militia

US

52 worker
3 Battlesh
22 F4F
64 US Mar
245 Us inf
8 Battlesh C2
49 M3
18 B-25
17 Heav art

SR

99 workers
306 Russ inf
146 T34
8 Yak I
18 Pe-2
23 Heav art
9 KV1
161 mot rifle 1939

SR is producing +-30 T34 and 10 KV1 a turn.

The only way to go with Japan is to bomb units and roads ( to prevent reinforcements ( 20+ T34 stacks ) and to finish with Type97 and Inf.
I don't hesitate to build airfields to reach SR main supply lines.



My main conclusion are :

- This incredible mod is still the greatest fun with every side ( played Germany, US, GB, France and SR on previous versions )

- German AI is too underpowered ( but I understand Germany is often driven by human player ). In my game, Germany is hardly defending is cities and has never take a SR city, although I'm attcacking SR with considerable japanese forces.

Remarks :

- A6M Zero has lethal land bombard
- I don't understand the Japanese land tech tree very well. Is there a more powerfull land unit than first Jap infantry and Type97 tank ?
- Can we consider better jap techs for a play / fun balance vs historical ?

The Pacific harbour should be of great value for further operations.

"PC turn:

A Soviet BB C2 in the Pacific. That is a surprise.

I guess Britain soon will lose its last positions in Asia.
The weak play from Japan-AI is a problem.

"4 Uboats were lost by sinking the British KGV BB."
Adler

A good exchange.

antoine,

Welcome back.

A Japan playtest. That is very interesting!

antoine

You have established very good positions so far.

On unit-stats:

You seems to have build a force with good balance.
Germanys forces are not impressing!
Britain is stronger then one could expect. US is not very strong.
Very fast increase of Soviet forces. I guess they will soon be a major
problem for you.

"The only way to go with Japan is to bomb units and roads ( to prevent reinforcements ( 20+ T34 stacks ) and to finish with Type97 and Inf.
I don't hesitate to build airfields to reach SR main supply lines."
antoine

Sounds like good idea!

antoine

I am glad to hear that.
Yes Germany-AI is a problem. Its possible I will make special AI versions
in the future (again). No decision yet.

"Remarks :

- A6M Zero has lethal land bombard"
antoine

OK it will be changed in version 2.3.

"- I don't understand the Japanese land tech tree very well. Is there a more powerfull land unit than first Jap infantry and Type97 tank ?"
antoine

There is no such unit you can produce. (SNLF is autoproduced.)

"- Can we consider better jap techs for a play / fun balance vs historical ?"
antoine

I will consider it when its time for the graphic update.

That is good. I guess Germany soon will need to allocate all

Italy 2.2, Chieftain

Week 17
Siege of Bern begins. I have placed my Hvy artillery on the mountain just south of Bern. My Mainland Italian cities are now fully developed and producing units at great clip.

Week 18
A large fleet of 40+ British DDs and Lt CA have entered the Med, probably headed for the Suez canal.

Week 19 Corsica
Russia and Germany sign a peace treaty. I sink about half those British destroyers. I see that they are being followed by a smaller force of subs, which I will make short work of next turn. In our first amphimious assault of the war, Corsica is taken by Italian infantry.

Week 20 Bern
France declared war on the Spanish. I assume this is the infamous sub bug. A British Hvy CA escorting 2 DD and 1 transport was sunk heading for Corsica. I will have to be vigilant with my sea defense of that island. I intercepted that British sub task force, sinking about 10. My small naval task force at Tobruk sunk another 9 British DDs as the headed past. Looks like only 12 will make it to the Suez, down from the 40+ that entered the Med. I told you I ruled the Med. Bern taken with no loss, Switzerland is eliminated. Let's see if we can snatch Strasbourg out from under the Germans.

Week 21
We have waited long for Spain to join in on our side, but now their navy is at full sail mixing it up with the Allies.

Week 22
Those 12 British DDs decided to come back through the Med, probably sent to deal with Spain. I sunk 9 off Tobruk. My artillery and German Panzers have destroyed the 2 fortresses guarding Strasbourg.

Week 23
I just can't believe how long the French have held out at Strasbourg. Those fortresses combined with the lack of leathal land bombard is realy hampering both the AI and me.
 
All,

I was wondering at what resolution you guys are playing at. I'm running Civ3 at 1280 x 1024 on a 19 inch monitor. I wanted to upgrade to the dell 24" wide which is 1920 x 1200. My hope is that WW2-Global is playable at such a high rez. Are there limitations with scaling Civ3 up to this rez? Anyone have experience with this setup? I've got a 3.2Ghz with ATI x800 graphics card.

Thanks
 
OK so my game as America was going to take awhile for me to get some action, and I'm quite the impatient type, so I decided to play as Britan.

Week 36- I bombed the Germans near Belgium.

PC Turn-I Lost 4 subs, 4 WWI DD, 16 1939 DD, and 1 transport. I destroyed 2 Italian 1939 DD, 10 Italian WWI DD and 1 Italian Sub

Week 37-Destroyed 5 Italian subs, 3 Italian infantry (Took Tobruk), 3 Italian 1939 DD, 1 Italian WWI DD, 1 Italian light crusier, the Karlskhule, 7 German 1939 DD and II U25. I bombed the German Deustchland. In the attack I lost 8 1939 DD, 1 Light Hawkins class CA, 5 WWI DD, 2 AA Cruiser, and 2 Subs.

Note: The French really saved me in the Mediterannean. They diverted the Italians from me long enough for my carriers, BB, etc. to get in place to deal with the Italians. The Dutch also took some of the brunt of the German naval blow in the Channel. The French haven't really been doing much in the Channel, Poland hasn't fallen yet, no french cities fell. So far I'm trying to build up a strong RAF to deal with the German navy and then to bomb them into submission long enough for me to get my forces ready for attack.
 
2.2 Japan emperor
hi, just conquered my first city from the com chinees (yenan) and got a free com chinese inf. is that supposed to happen?
 
Wow! Looks like your scenario's goin strong still. I see a lot of new names over there. I was away for a long time due to exams and what not. Unfortunately I won't be playing for some time due to last year university studies. I liked this scenario and TGW a lot. I can't play Civ 4 on my comp because my video card can't support it. Can't get a new one cause my comp is a laptop. And I can't buy a new comp cause this one's only 2 1/2 years old. But I haven't been hearing too much about Civ 4 anyways. Looks like Civ3 was a much bigger hit. You think maybe people are getting a bit tired of civ in general? Who knows. I might just go for civ5 in the future instead of buying civ 4. I normally don't buy games till all the bugs are fixed and all the expansion packs are out anyways. Saves me a lot of frustration and anguish later. Not to mention money and trips to the store.
 
hello everybody,

i´ve got a question.is it normal that some units, like the bismarck or hindenburg, have no sounds when they attack?i know that sometimes i the past (i mean early versions of ww2-global)they had an attack sound.sometimes:mischief: the sound was there and sometimes not.
does anybody know what kind of problem that is and how i can fix it?
i have the latest version of the civ3 patch installed.
thanks for any further suggestions

I guess Switzerland have been able to produce rather large
number of units since September 1939.

Yes I think you are right.

The Spanish submarines have been replaced with Light Coastal Flotilla units
to avoid the submarine-bug, but still of course a Spanish surface unit
can attack French subs by mistake.

"Week 21
