Looking at the remaining strength in the German Divisions during the battle of Kustrin I can imagine that German Manpower is pretty well devastated right now >_>
I'm trying to use a north/south alternating attack scheme where north attacks while south rests and then north rests while south attacks and keep repeating that. My +20% org minister helps make things go as fast as possible. These long battle work against me...I'd prefer to keep up the speed and always push forward. Encirclement tactics with slow moving infantry is tricky!Kurt_Steiner said:Finally the kessel is closed and Berlin quite near! Are you going to go for it non-stop or wait to recover a bit?
I will rarely release a puppet. I'm too greedy for IC and I don't like the dissent cost. Since I'm playing Doomsday, I don't get tech teams for conquering.Colonel Bran said:Or are you going to release germany but with post 1945 borders, release austria and release the tjechs? Ofcours you are going to keep slovakia, right?
I'll post some screens from the army comparison ledger today. I'm resisting the temptation to use the nofog cheat as much as possible since I'm trying to make the game as challenging as possible...but I can't resist looking before and after a major encirclement!GhostWriter said:how does this leave the balance of "power" (read that: non-garrison units comparison) with Germany ? ?
I may load up as Germany just to get a glimpse at their manpower status...oh wait...that'd be cheating wouldn't it? Ehh...maybe not. I'm guessing Germany's bigger problem right now is (or soon will be) their declining IC and dissent. Once I start seeing German militia divisions in battle, then I know they're in big trouble. I think they still have plenty of fight left in them.Quanto said:Looking at the remaining strength in the German Divisions during the battle of Kustrin I can imagine that German Manpower is pretty well devastated right now
I have a fair amount of experience playing TRP and it's the same thing there....very long battles which really changes strategy. I've been surprised at the number of long battles in this game. They seem unusually long for a vanilla game.Admiral Yamamot said:You should consider yourself lucky that you aren't playing WiF mod.
A 40 hours battle is NOTHING there.

Anyway, nice AAR. I don't think I've ever learned so much stuff about HoI2 in a single read before.

The IC investment for paratroopers is huge, both for the paratroopers themselves and especially for the transport planes. I may end up developing them much later in the game but Poland simply doesn't have enough IC to justify the investment now. For now, I'd rather grow my conventional forces and auto-promote my leaders.cegorach said:BTW Tanks ? Fine, but what about paratroopers?
