Interesting Beta screenshots

[Darkrenown]

Here are a few screenshots I've taken during recent games. These are from seperate games, basically I just saw something that made me think "oh cool" and snapped a shot.

First up, Germany pulls off Operation Green:

Here you can see some Fallschirmjäger in action:

And finally, here's a rather well executed Operation Sealion:

Strange AI descision to drop paras in a city and one so far from the front, one which won't be reached in the next couple of days.

 

[Cpack]

wow....the paras from Germany far behind enemy lines.....how long will they survive?!?

 

[unperson]

Seems UK doesnt use his fleet very well, or maybe Germany was very lucky.

 

[Wulf145]

wow....the paras from Germany far behind enemy lines.....how long will they survive?!?

But all the Supply lines will have to be 'rebuilt' and that could give the Germans an advantage for a while.
That is if I understand the Supply system correctly.

Long enough. Where is the next Soviet Land unit? Can the Soviets afford to pull units away from the front in order to go after the paras?
And, as it will take some time to reach Moscow.....the paras will be digged in when the battle starts.

Does Germany have air superiority? If so, they will be able to supply the paras by air.

I think that dropping paras on Moscow is worth the risk and I am overjoyed that the AI is aggressive enough to take that risk.

Looking forward to what will happen in less than 24 hours,

Maybe its not even a bad try, they nevertheless captured their capital and they will surely distract some of the SU troops which are badly needed at the front.

And with the urban terrain... If the AI would only let them dug themself in they could maybe hold off even a far superior force...

Isn't supply created locally? If it is so they should gain supply directly from Moscow...

Hey this is WW2 not the 30 Years war.

You supply your units from your capitol.

 

[Cybvep]

At least now we will have to worry about our rear

How is the naval AI BTW? It was terrible in HOI3 Vanilla and that Sealion doesn't bode well, although it could be interesting to look at the composition of navies in that screenshot. Is the Royal Navy defeated and harassed in ports by Luftwaffe or is it just stupid?

But supplies are produced locally in IC provinces, right?

Not as far as I know. Where did you hear/read that Supplies are produced localy?

 

[Jazumir]

no, i think from any IC-holding province, which you have a core on and is connected to your capital, IIRC.

I thought that the system, where all supplies goes through your capiital was changed in one of the patches, but I could be wrong...

The russian workers won't make supplies for the German paras, but that doesn't really matter, as Moscow is the supply center, and probably has tons of it already...

 

[lambrf]

UK seems to still be very well defended...

 

[Darkrenown]

It's only interesting because it doesn't happen very often

 

[Wulf145]

I think its great that the AI is willing to risk a Seelöwe, in that game was there a Barbarossa as well? If yes - when did it start?

 

[General War]

Correct. The paras probably had enough supplies to last for years, while Soviets lost most of their supplies.
I wonder how this game ended...

Hey this is WW2 not the 30 Years war.

You supply your units from your capitol.

You supply your units from the nearest supply depot, which could be your capital of course, the main supply port (when the land has no conection to your capital) and you can feed your armies from enemy supplies too.

When Germany parachuted on Moscow, they occupy their main supply depot (supplies, energy, raw material, oil and fuel). All those resources will be in Moscow (under German control) so long the Moscow has no connection Berlin. So German forces in captured Moscow will be in supply forever. Additionaly Russia lost temporary all their stockpiles.

Actually, your troops are supplied from the nearest source of supplies, be it a supply depot, port or simply a province with abundant supply surplus for some reason.
