how many losses in men for the Russians?

@@KHarling 4,924 mil total. 1,029 killed , 3,277 mil captured, 616k disabled ... 78k guns, 17836 afv, my losses are 319,268 total, 101622 killed, 216k disabled, 1056 captured. air almost 14k destroyed soviet planes vs 1436 of mine 328 destroyed infantry divisions. Great game. I must dig in :) but I try to infllict some losses. Ah Blizzard

I am sure their was a point you were trying to make, c'mon be straight out with it, I respect your opinion, learned a lot from you and your vids hopefully.

@@KHarling There’s no commentary (which can be fine) but I felt the content needed some kind of explanation. Running around Malmouth in Normal at level 98 is more of a chill-out than a levelling tactic so I was expecting some kind of voiceover talking about what we are watching. If the video title was more informative than just ‘Grim Dawn’ - ‘Relaxing Malmouth Run’ for example - it would make a big difference to the viewer expectations. Regarding the inventory full of components and crafting items, there’s absolutely no need to do this for two main reasons apart from the inconvenience of inventory clutter: 1 - blacksmith and shrines can pull the required items from stash (personal or shared) 2 - all your characters can access the shared stash components without needing them in their inventory or personal stash (separate across hardcore and softcore obviously) There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the video footage that a title change can’t sort out, and the inventory clutter is just something I find 😱

@@Arcadelife1 I agree, unfortunately for some of us commentary is not a comfortable premise. I am slowly building up to it, nerves and all. As for the easy run, I am a newb, only ever had 2 characters reach Level 100. The components is just a personal thing, I did originally have them in shared stash. As for titles, I will get there. Your advice has been constructive, thanks very much, your vids contributed to me realyl getting into the game, and as I said have taught me loads. Peace and thx for watching.

Limits? not sure what you mean. Explain

@@KHarling like time limit

@@Leviackerman-bj1my Well if you do a Career mode and manage any team, say Manchester United, you can go as many seasons provided you are not fired by the board. You have goals you have to attain every season set by the Board. So it is the same as real life.

@@Leviackerman-bj1my You get six in game months in the demo approximately 10 hours.

It's awesome, it is my new go to chill game.

Thanks very much, and I can guarantee it will stay on this channel. Btw really enjoyed your video. Will be watching more to be sure. Thanks.

Oh thanks man that’s kind of you, working on new episode now as we speak! Cheers mate.

Agreed, and it will be coming at some point in the very near future. Thanks for watching.

Not sure why that is, but I got his one. Thanks, I believe I am definitely progressing, with 2nd Panzer arriving next turn and 11, I might actually achieve my goals. Do you lay this game? Evet played PBEM?

no i have not played this yet but may look into it, i posted about five turn's of eastern front, have you seem any of them?

I took a brief look, looks like an old DOS game. At it's core it is much the same, the counters, the gameplay. What other wargames do you play? @@jamesavery3559

a few old school games like crusade in europe, battalion commander, and some others, eastern front is supposed to be unwinnable on the expert levels.

Ever heard of Battle Academy, Panzer Corps or Unity of Command? I think they may interest you. I am heading out for a few hours. Have a great day will ttys. Thanks for watching.@@jamesavery3559

It's the go to in Football simulation games. Definitely worth a buy, if you do buy the 2024 iteration, it has a better game engine. Thx for watching.

I am undecided to be honest. I feel like I am but according t capture dates I am far behind the German historical progress. I am satisfied with the casualty ratio. I will know by turn 21. Thx for watching have a great day.

strange i left a few messages seems they are gone.@@KHarling

I never received any messages other than the one I replied to@@jamesavery3559

ok no problem they where just a few comments on my eastern front campaign.@@KHarling

By all means send them would be very interested to hear how you are doing@@jamesavery3559

Indeed it always does. It is never easy. That's what makes it interesting and challenging.

Things definitely seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully can continue to press. I think I have the Soviets in disarray. Thanks for watching.

what scale are the unit's division's or corp's?@@KHarling

Well if goes down from High Command to Army Group, Divisions and Regiments.@@jamesavery3559

and Corps@@jamesavery3559

ok thank you.@@KHarling

You can keep your zombie carpenter to yourself.

Amen.

@@shrike6243 hu💀

It was probably much higher but to be honest I never checked or at least I cannot recall, maybe 19,000 ish. I switched out gear and skills and such that's why such a discrepancy. Thx for watching.

Well must be your lucky day, here you will always see vids of War in the East 2 and Football Manager. Enjoy.

Well I don't know of any American Football Manager type games but if you are into baseball there is OOTP 24. Same kind of depth as this, perhaps even more.

Thanks very much, I appreciate it. It is an amazing game, well worth the steep learning curve. I am here anytime so if I can help in anyway let me know. There are some great tutorials on You Tube, I recommend Strategy Gaming Dojo, matteo bosseo, XTRG to name a few. Thx for watching.

Thanks dude, I really appreciate the advice. Love that you just started uploading FM games, that's another I'd love to get into!@@KHarling

I was pretty much just wondering if you have any tips for siege operations? I also got the 600mm mortars down to odessa along with lots of heavy artillery but they do very little damage to the fort and it repairs about 10% strengh every week. Its and endless material wasting spiral for this stupid city very frustrating. 30% of my heavy artillery including the both 600mm mortars have already been destroyed.......

The same ones you are conducting. I just put either the Romanian or Hungarian on Naval patrol. I recommend you watch matteo bosseo. I will give you the link, he will set you on the right path. It all begins on Turn 1, involving pioneers to the 12th army and more. Anyway he gives a great tutorial on besieging, odessa, leningrad and sevastopol. Hope this heps, and thanks for watching. Peace. the link www.youtube.com/@fraulens

On my next full playthrough I plan on implementing his suggestions. Have a good day.

If you have the game it is called PBEM. It's the way to play the game. Thx for watching.

No I have just been adapting as I go. Watched a couple of vids, so as to start with a powerful skill ( Forcewave ), I then knew I preferred Two-handed weapons and so used gear along the way that suited, especially stuff that added to Forcewave and Blade Arc, among other Soldier skills. Never done a build guide perhaps I should. Thx for watching have a great day.

Grim Dawn has so much build flexibility. Play how you like to play, most builds are viable. Just focus on one or two damage types and have high resists and life. You should be good. Have fun.

No I have not, never owned an atari. Will check it out though via a search engine. Thanks for watching. It is a brilliant game, probably my fave all time.

it looks like a fine war game, thank you for posting@@KHarling

The most historically accurate Eastern Front game ever made. It is brilliant.

@@KHarlingWat? Wat? That’s wild my g!!! I didn’t even bout this u def a strait genus tho 🙏🏿🙏🏿🐐🐐💯💯💯

@abbeynormala2291 Absolutely, just got the Dawn of Masteries Mod, haven't played it yet. Can't wait.

I wanna do the playthough of Diablo 2 where you use Grim Dawn toons and skills trees @@KHarling

It's in this mod.@@abbeynormala2291

thanks! @@KHarling

no worries, it's free you can get it from the official Grim Dawn website@@abbeynormala2291

Well I could commit to 3 episodes per week. Does that suit you? 4 maximum, as i do post other games and also have a PBEM game on the go. Let me know. Thx.

As your so keen I will post another today most likely this afternoon.

@@KHarlingYes ofcourse thank you, will you cover other campaigns in the future??

If you give me some suggestions then we shall see. Have a good day.@@scypionafricanus8287

I will have a look at that lol, another subscriber asked me if Redux will continue, it will, posting Turn 2 later this afternoon, thx for tuning in

Your welcome.

Gary Grigsby's War In The East 2. It's a masterpiece, available on Steam, or Matrix. I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching.

Thxs, it says its hearts of iron 3 but I know it isn't hoi3 lmao. I like games like this with the divisions and stuff, makes micromanaging so much better and strategy way more in depth.@@KHarling

If you want absolutely. Welcome btw.

I will post turn 2 for you later today.

THank you!@@KHarling

The move will be contingent upon my assessment of what the Soviets may do. I recognize that its guessing but at least partially educated. I do not want to give up much ground, unless their is a more favorable defensive position ie. terrain. Thanks for the input.

Good point; almost all minor rivers are frozen and East Ukraine is dominated by hundreds of clear hexes. It will not be east to hold the soviets. Good luck and I look forward to future episodes. BTW, if you ever decide to look for a multiplayer game, I would be more than happy to be your opponent. @@KHarling

@@jonathoncooper7501 That sounds awesome, never done one before. What side would you play?

I'm more experienced with the Soviets (2 multiplayer grand campaigns) so I prefer to play them. I, however, have played both sides (1 Axis Stalingrad to Berlin). I'm rather new to the WitE 2 but I think we could have an interesting game. I maintain that multiplayer is the peak gameplay experience of WitE 2. Ultimately, the choice of sides is yours. LMK what you think of this ruleset: -Fog of War: On - Movement FOW: On - Lock HQ support: On - Automate AI air assist: No preference - Enhanced Player TB control: Off but negotiable @@KHarling

@@jonathoncooper7501 Cool, I prefer the Germans, ever played as the Soviets, but plan to. Rules are fine. So we are set, just need to set a start date. I will look into the PBEM in the manual, as I have never done it. Looking forward to this, thanks.

I was thinking the same thing. At some point the Germans have to hunker down and rest/refit. The winter is as much an enemy as the vastness of Russia. I do like the progress towards Kharkov. Thanks for the comment and advice.

I have played Operation Typhoon and know all about the Soviet counterattack. But I have inflicted steep looses against them and hopefully not wastefully expended my troops, Panzers etcetera. Only time will tell and thanks for the comment and watch. Peace.

Thanks, I am working on that. Can't say exactly when but it's on the horizon. Always great to hear from others with the same interests. Peace.

Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2. Available on Steam. Matrix Games published by Slitherine. Thx for watching.

Not sure on exact numbers, but if I divide the fighting among different corps, we should be fine.

@awordabout...3061. I will give it a try, will join in the very near future and see how it goes. Thanks for watching my content. Have a great weekend.

Thanks very much. You know what they say, Just Do It. Have a great day. Peace.

Many lessons learned which I will put to good use in my next attempt. Much like June 22nd, the initial gains are vital to success. I have a better plan for the next go around. I agree btw. Peace.

stubborn at times, I debated it, anyhow, live and learn, will do better next time out lol. We'll see 5 turns-ish left.

oh and first

Gary Grigsby war in the east 2

A must have for any wargamer. It is the pinnacle.

Thanks for the quick reply man, I'll definitely check this game out!

Ty for the subscription and welcome. As for the game, give it a go, it's awesome. I never get bored of June 22nd. As for Operation Typhoon, just checking out some ideas before I go full hog. Will do more reading and study the map, see if their is a way through. As for commentary, I am working up to that. Soon though. Advice anytime and peace.
