DC3 : Barbarossa under beta

[KRonn]

This looks interesting. I haven't been playing as many games lately but I may get this one.

[Drakken]

Challenge has been accepted, and Axis thread open.

As I have arrived home too late tonight, I will play my first turn tomorrow evening (Friday).

[Tamas]

Cool!

A few basic tips:

I'd suggest turning the HQ range indication on in Preferences. I am not saying you never want to leave the HQ range (especially with panzers and mechanised units), but it can be decisive and you can give me a great opportunity if you hinder your units by leaving them out of command for too long.

You can get all kinds of detailed info about your fuel and logistics in your turnly reports to be able to figure exactly why you are having fuel supply troubles (although just in real life in the position you have, it requires you connecting the dots a bit) BUT it is quite sufficient for most of the game to keep an eye on the colour indicators on your logistic markers on the map.
I mean of course the train and truck chains displayed going between your main and forward supply bases.

If they turn yellow, start thinking about optimising the chain, and if they turn red, be aware that a major fuckup is in the making - watch your theatre fuel levels (just select a hex in the given area and you'll see it on top right) carefully. Fuel shortage can hit you at very inopportune times.
And don't forget: attacking with mechanised units costs fuel.

[Tamas]

Oh and speaking of Forward Supply Bases: I can't stress enough how correct the manual is about them Make sure you have decent fuel reserves before deciding to move them - but don't wait too long to move them either.

From Generaloberst Drakken to Comrade Tamas, with a white flag :

1.01 patch is now live. We upgrade?

[Drakken]

I bought this.

You won't regret it. Easily one of the best wargames ever.

[crazy canuck]

I am really enjoying your dueling AARs.  Keep up the good work 

[Drakken]

Tamas, it's getting too late to do the turn tonight. It will be done tomorrow.

[Tamas]

ok!

[Ed Anger]

I bought this.

Tamas got 3 beets as his share! He is truly the king of Hungarians. 

[Berkut]

This does look very cool - I am kind of bummed at the limited scope though, since it only covers the first several months of the war.

[Ed Anger]

I'd just like to play sending memos to others in the government. 

[Norgy]

I'd just like to play sending memos to others in the government. 

Yeah, me too.

This again?
Your prescriptions should still be good, and yes, we'd all love to come to Karinhall soon.
And, yes, Himmler and der Führer liked your sketches for new planes.

Regards and whatnot
