Somehow get some Soviet partisans for infantry as they played a big part.

Would like to see a picture of the terrain that matches up with description in the Compendium. Also a graph or something that tells you where you are currently at in regards to victory. After you lose and feel like continuing anyway the winning side is darkened and you can't declare war or interact ...

two more items - aircraft should have higher movement than the ground troops otherwise they are not that much different. Units NEED automated explore option!

So far played 3 games - 1st one went 298 turns before losing, 2nd game was 3 plays long LOL! and 3rd one was about 50 before losing. Anyway here's what I see as the good, bad and ugly: Good - still great graphics! Also, LOVE the random tech tree for each start up game. Don't know if this was on purp...

Yes, I am learning as I go - again a pass because the manual is not yet completed. Lost my second city after 1 turn as I couldn't get a unit to defend it fast enough (it was one step behind) so that was chalked up to experience LOL! Getting ready for the weekend to spend some big time with the game.

Graphics - Great! I like the intro and the game tiles/units are outstanding Sound - There is some crackling in the music/sound. The sound effects and music choice are very good, though Gameplay - If you have played Civ. or some other similar game than a lot of this is intuitive. However this is stil...

Thank you for the chance to beta test! What I like best is actually seeing the changes made on bugs that have been found and reported (I know that's why its done, but still cool to actually SEE the changes) as I have sent in CTD reports to other game mfg's before and see no changes ever. Also I have...

Just noticed this one too...

Use aircraft carriers for re-fueling and/or reinforcement. Bring your plane over top of the carrier and the next turn you can re-fuel and reinforce the aircraft other than that they are not for sea combat or launching new aircraft.

There is also Mark Clark but he falls on my list of Please DO NOT use...Clark, De Gaulle, Wavell, Hodges. Also can't use Pacific area generals (MacArthur, Slim, Stilwell, Mountbatten...etc)

Patton is a given. Even though I am not a Monty fan he seems to be the best next choice. I would actually pick Bradley over Eisenhower for the fact that Bradley would fit better in that Eisenhower was too far up the command chain like Marshall and Alexander are.

I fully agree with Razz1 with his suggestions. Also praetorreich36 has appoint to use a crown or lion for the Brits...just makes sense.

Tarrak,
That is a great point about knowing history and where/when counter attacks are made LOL! Also even though I have stated that I think it may be too easy I didn't just whipping along either - I got to Arnhem in the proverbial "Nick of time".

Great scenario, however I think it would be great to try out a Patton type of scenario and push the Russians. I mean make it possible for the western allies to cross the Elbe and pick a fight with the Russians. I think that maybe have units cross the Elbe and when they do the Russians attack first o...

I would like to hear what some others may think about this, but I feel that 2 scenarios in particular are a bit unbalanced. The first is Market Garden...this should be a bit harder or at least have the Germans counter attack Arnhem a lot harder ( I am playing at Rommel level) which would be a LOT mo...

I don't have too much problem with the awards/medals as they are, however I did notice that the blue max or German style medal still shows on the unit display card. Why that would bother me more than the other stuff I have no idea

Very enjoyable...however I wish the Germans were more aggressive in the counter attack especially at Arnhem as they did in real life.

This is a mojor bug!!!! I was only able to place 7 ground units and 7 air units to start. I thought "okay, maybe I will be allowed to bring in reserves as the scenario goes on but NO. My entire reserve force was deleted and I couldn't bring in any reserve. So my first thought was okay this is a...
