War in the East

[11B4V]

Does this game attempt to model Hitler's retard directives?

You're invading Russia aren't you?  What other retard directives do you want?

That pretty much somes it up there.

Nope, and not Stalin's retard counteroffensives either.

The Italians have arrived, however partisans are luring Italian troops away from their positions with boxes of pasta and the occasional whore. Also, the honey trap of middle aged women acting like their mothers are causing Italian troops to lounge around in the house they are quartered in and not go out and fight.

 

Reading this thread makes me want this game, but I never played something like this: is it difficult/complicated to play? should I start from some less complex war game? some suggestions, please?

That isn't in the game. I love stereotypes though.  And good sound systems.

The game isn't hard, but its LARGE. I can usually only do 1 Army Group or so before I have to save and do the next 2 tomorrow. And other than the automated recon and airbase attacks you can set up, air is a chore.

One good thing was I've looked in the manual maybe twice. Haven't tried to read the damn thing.

I would chaulk that up in the pro column.

Ignorance is a blessing.

I noticed I got the "mighty" Hungarian tank division. It starts with 5 Russian T26 tanks stolen from those poor Slavs.

When it arrives at the front, I'm sure the division will be good for scaring children, knifing policemen and chasing chickens.

enough of the gypo jokes, they were busy digging trenches and clearing minefield during this time

We, on the other hand, served as partisan hunters and cannon fodder.

I am using two Hungarian security brigades to hold Kiev and the surrounding airgroup cluster I moved in there. Along with a Romanian Cavalry brigade (The Ramblin Wreck brigade)

Also, in an amusing sort of way, I had a Hungarian cav brigade in Odessa shootin' folk policing, and I couldn't move Romanian units into the city. NO SCUM ALLOWED.

As the mud arrives, it now looks like somebody threw shit on my screen. Thanks developers!

Using my mystical in game nazi powers of FORESIGHT AND HINDSIGHT, I spend the last clear turn using my panzer corps as daggers, stabbing at Soviet armor clumps in the rear then running back behind the infantry line. Special note goes to the Miroslav Satan Slovak Mobile Brigade, who shattered the 5th Guards Cavalry Division.

Demerits go to the Hungarian tank division, which seemingly lost their 5 T26 tanks on the train. Likely sold them for glass beads.
