Morris is great in combining Allied air power in early and mid game. In my last game with Morris I had to bring 5 FTR units to NA to be able to get to Casablanca.

Armor gets smashed on the defense in CEAW. Interesting part of this game is you learn something new almost every time you play or click. : ) Very complex! I would say historically tanks did poor in Marsh/Mountains/Cities cause you cannot really do much(they're not maneuvering) with them and in fore...

Morris, have you tried GS v3.01? If yes what do you think about the changes to XP? That should help the Axis initially. It's e. g. possible now to get tank buster tactical bombers if you get the XP to 50 (+1 ground attack) or 100 (+2 ground attack). So you can simulate Hans Ullrich Rudel now. :) Ex...

I agree but for me 3.01 is balanced. Experience changes are really great for Axis. Although smart Allied player can benefit from it too, especially in air.

In most games players do not see partisans spawn in Egypt because the the number of hexes are small and the chance is low. Even for cities? I played several games where I conquered Egypt and kept it for 30-40 turns without any units and never seen a partisan. Although in my recent game with Morris ...

In manual there is some listing from the file defining what is the size of partisan unit. The listing is per country. I do not remember what the file is.

Isn't 'less forgiving' a synonym for 'unbalanced'?

I have never seen Egyptian partisan. You can check parameter file to see if Egypt is on the list.

In order to lower supply possibility for the unit (from 3 to 1) you need to reduce the city to the red, not the port. You can do it with TACs (-1 per each attack) but using STRAT will speed the process (up to 4 lost). When city drops to 1 it becomes red and unit inside will be able to supply only 1 ...

no.

Just do some tests on the zones border and you will see how it works.

oxford_guy wrote:Okay, so if the air unit is in a clear hex and the target is in mud, you attack at full strength?

yes

Base hex always determines air unit stats. You can see it where there is mud in Eastern Europe and fair in Central.

I have the same feeling. But I am used since it is usually my 2 FTRs vs. 3-4 on Allied side (+CV). This is referring to France. But anyway I also see the organization difference to have little impact on the combat. Usually my Russian FTRs are not that inferior to Axis' even in 1942. Even if tech and...

Yes it is. For me experience tweak is one of the major changes for 3.0. It balance the game pretty good and gives new flavour for the Players.

and mostly He-111.

I have some feedback on the new features, but I would like to post them after my game with Morris which is stalled now. When we are done I will post my comments.

Plan is a simple 41 barbarossa.

The weather blundered my blitz and losses are too high.

Nothing real exciting here boys.

Hey! Why spoiler? We could have discussed possible options for two more pages!

No Sealion now. I think Max didn't intend a one anyway.

Finally, my opponent just landed in the North of Scottland - a hugeand is working his way down against inferior GAR units. I am VERY spread thin. So all in all, I'm not nearly as sure of a victory as I had been - in fact, if I had to bet, I'd say that I'll lose this game. I just had not expected th...

IMO the downside is that you get half the income from Vichy French cities and if you want to conquer the NA, you have to do it by force. The Allies can significantly delay you there if they are determined. Oh, and you won't get Spain even if you get to Casablanca. You always gets half income. The o...
