I think it can be beat, but I'm not sure how the hard modifer is taken into effect. *shrugs* We will see. It balances out since the UK was basically annihilated by ISD

which is why we put him there.
For the record, I did 'defend' Poland, in the sense I tried a couple attacks, and fell back across most of Poland. Silver neither pushed hard nor tried to take land to which I was retreating too. I lost around 3 divisions total to then being overrun, not hard at all considering he should have at least some armour. That said, I had never played UK before that brief two months, noobed up France and would have noobed up Africa (which I forgot about) had it been a front. A delay in Poland at worst costs him manpower. Which he can afford since I noobed out the Maginot line.
Most "historical" games include the 36 infantry rule, along with pages of other rules (See Heinsen's rules 1.2) which are perhaps the reason I quit HoI2 MP because it got so boring. Oh hey, allies/axis win again after spending years being hamstrung by stupid rules
<<-running the game in sp to see how it goes isn't a solution to argue because the AI doesnt suffer from very hard modifier and given the AI will not play same as the AI human controlled. (poland and france iirc)

I would disagree. You put the AI in a very similar spot and simply see if they succeed. The AI in this case took the city, delayed, but still managed it. If the AI was able to do that, then Silver should have been able too as Poland was AI controlled. If Silver is better than the Germany AI, he should have a stronger build and thus be able to succeed the same way the German AI was able too. The hard difficulty would hurt him, but it is still possible.
The AI if left on it's own isn't helpful at all, but if you modify the scenario a bit, it's not so bad.
And thank you

Honestly, I have been having fun talking to those Swedes who are actually decent humourous people. Honestly I was planning to war the USSR instead of Germany if we had had a decent UK

but Silver's complaints quickly convinced me that Germany needed to get rolled! ASAP! :rofl:
Preventing 68 divisions in Warsaw cannot be down since all the enemy has to do is constantly retreat.He had divisions ready to enter warsaw.
This seems wrong. A tank outruns an infantry. At the start of our war I had one infantry in Warsaw. If I was going to do this from the start, I would have put them all in Warsaw. Instead I was able to fight and retreat each battle all the way back. I might have managed half my army, but if you hadn't been using infantry with arty almost exclusively you could have easily overrun my retreating forces a lot quicker.
In normal games Italy converts all its manpower and sends 100 infantry to the east even then succes is far from guaranteed and battle is even.
Again you speak of normal games. I don't know, normal from where you are apparently involves the Axis struggling + always trying the same tactics.
At the end of the day, there are 3-4 players saying play on and one saying "haxx cheat lame fail etc". The problem is you've been saying that since the start Silver
