During Operation Typhoon and the "great panic" of October 16th there were plans in place for Stalin to abandon Moscow. And at 9am that day Stalin had a meeting in which in apparently declared the government should leave Moscow that day and that he would follow the next day. It was his ministers that often held up Stalins resolve as at the suggestion Mikoyan stated why should he leave today if Stalin is leaving tomorrow. But it wasn't in the realms of madness for Stalin to think of leaving, the Germans were mere kilometres away and Moscow was in disarray.

@@Azachor It isn't strictly true. On the night before the German invasion Stalin went to his dacha in Kuntsevo where he apparently watched films, drank and dined until the early hours. He was asleep when the invasion started but was woken by a phone call from Zhukov then was back in Moscow by 4am. Molotov wasn't handed the declaration of war until 5am. On the 29th June he did retreat back Kuntsevo where he did not receive calls for a full 24 hours, as he was broken, before Molotov and others convinced him to come back. Then on 3rd July he made he first speech to the Soviet people. He had realised after the invasion that he had made several serious errors concerning his relationship with Hitler. Even when the evidence was spoken or placed in front of him he never believed the Germans would invade until they actually crossed the border.

Man, I wish I still had my save games from my first time playing the game. I believe my first game was as the US ( Before Waking the Tiger was out) I remember playing and getting kind of bored. Then I finally got a focus that gave a free puppet war goal on Venezuela. I struggled so much with naval invading. I also didn't understand division templates at all. I had another game like the Soviet Union. Where I invaded Iran. But didn't know anything about infantry templates or supply. I was sending my entire army into Iran. I lost close to 1M troops. I think I might've learned to pull back some Inf. But still.

Hey Bitt3r. Since you tend to wonder how many casualties the enemy took after you close an encircledment. Below the game date and world tensiom box on the upper right part of the screen, below it, to the right of the "Theather box", in this videos case where it says "Soviet Theather 1" there is a symbol that when hovered over it should say "Combat Log" when you press it a new box appears telling you casualties taken in battle by you and ai per hour, and in the other tabs it gives you more details on equipment lost and captured.

Interesting to see you changing your tune on light tanks. I'd never recommend them over mediums, but a couple of divisions of them upgraded for maximum speed is just nasty for exploiting the break throughs that Medium tanks do. I tend not to go for the huge meme pockets like most people and instead use the light tanks to quickly snip off small pockets of 3-4 all over the show. It adds up quickly.

With level seven forts already built you should have just tried to hold Kiev. That was a decent number of factories that i don't think you needed to give up.

Wow. I needed 10 attempts to replicate this. Hint: 14w infantry divisions holds the line just fine, equipment is lesser problem then. Also not sure, if AA in infantry was needed, I wasn't able to produce enough AA until the war was over :)

Have you ever tried the Tank division challenge? After watching ISP do it I tried it and it was awesome, I just built up the Light Tank division and got out 66 before Germany came and we inflicted massive casualties than rolled over them.

Yikes....The first game, had me in a deadlock with super axis (composed of the entirety of europe sans England). Didn't know how to use tanks, so it was just full defense, it cost me 10 million people...but I did end up killing over 40 million axis people, only "won" because england/usa naval invaded, and didn't get much resistance....

I've never been in a situation so dire that I needed to merge divisions that beaten up just so they could get back to the fight; but I usually do merge 20 width divisions into 40s when shifting from defense to offense. It's way faster than waiting for the reinforcements.

Do you have any advice for field marshall frontlines? I see you're using them, but I'm always paranoid because it stretches some armies but not others and it sometimes sends whole armies to a single province even when that army's frontline is wider.

@Bitt3rSteel 3 жыл бұрын
If you use the shift key when drawing the line, it will simply fill the front as beat I can with whatever units it has available. That way it won't sent armies to separate areas

You do know that if you have divisions that are encircled that you don't think you can break out, you can disband them and get 20% of their manpower and equipment, meaning there's no point in letting the units fall unless you need army XP or need to force the enemy to waste time. Which is essentially trading manpower and equipment for time and army XP which isn't a good trade off in my opinion if you already have enough of them.
