I played as Germany and there was an event when I declare war to Denmark and Norway...I had nothing in the north border so Denmark took Berlin.(didn't knew about strategic redeployment)...my stockpile was gone...
Well i suppose when i was really just breaking the back of anything land based that moved, playing Germany. I was racing towards developing nukes. It was 1943, war was going really good cept russia began to creep up to my door. Pushing hard, but I managed to funnel the bulk of its fighting force. Finished my nuke, was preparing to launch when i realized......I had no way to deliver it.
Yes thats right, no rockets, no bombers, i neglected these areas....NOTHING.
and so russia rolled on into my door step.
Well that and i was dominating russia pounding them into salt, best game ever i musst admit. Speed cranked up so fast my eyes hurt. And when time is scrolling and you are hitting enter like a mad man to get little boxes off your screen to get back to action you fail to notice that america not only landed in france but was half way to the reich...Grrrr
Spent a lot of time reorganizing the army right after beginning a 1936 scenario... as the USSR.
Great Purge happens, all of a sudden most all of those leaders are gone. So I turn on 'auto-assign'.
Bad idea. I now have to manually go through each division to scrounge enough generals to lead my HQs.
