WoW Classic is releasing on August 27, 2019! We're going back to the basics, and doing it all again, just like the very first time! WOOT! I'm really excited about this! World PvP will be back... Having to travel to dungeons and BGs... 51 point talent system! And maybe the best yet - the...

Any Staff or Admin Staff here? J.L., are you still peeking in here? Can someone please reply or give me a quick PM? I have some things to discuss with someone! Thanks guys - look forward to hearing from someone!

Greetings! After fielding so many questions lately on S&T, specifically dealing with Europe Aflame, I've decided it might be in our best interests to try and have a chat using the software here at GS. (You can find the link at the very top of your page). I'm going to pop in there now...

Question. In my game with Francis, he is perfecting the art of death-from-above on my Axis troops. As some of you may recall from previous threads, this is an Eastern Crusade game, and Russia and France were both dead prior to summer '41. (Can't recall exactly when, I didn't bring all the...

Ok, a thought occurs as I attempt something out of the spirit of I've-never-done-this-before. I outright went for Finland (which I {now} never do), and went whole hog into Sweden as well, ready for the entry roll, which they made. I now have Boden surrounded (~ 2 corps, but 1/3rd of that is...

Can I get some sitreps from you guys, and hear how your latest game(s) is/are going? I look at this forum, and it's one of the busiest on the site - 4 or 5 viewing is common. Yet no new posts! (You guys are killing me when I'm at work! :laugh: ) We need some new material! I promise a...

Mark, I'm in an old game of 1.8 with Tiberius, and his recent invasion of Turkey (as a new route into Russia, attempting to break the stalemate) has got me thinking. In the TOAW III version (and the last CoW version, too, if there are any events free), there should be a modifier to the USEV...

Ok, I've invaded Turkey, and am redoing a turn because I attacked a Brit battalion on Cyprus with a non-DAK unit. I now find I don't have any unit available whatsoever for amphibious operations. If you actually have a game where you plan on keeping the Italians out for awhile, and you decide...

A quick one for you, Mark. "Worst of winter over as mercury creeps over zero degrees" was in the news briefing Feb 9, 1941 (my birthday a 'few' years early, by coincidence), and yet my troops are still suffering shock, by the looks of it. I have a formation in France that is in reorg, and...

Gents, I'd like to pick your brains for a moment. I've only played 1 game of an EC through, and I'd like some input! In an EC game, if Russia falls in the first year (prior to the West declaring war), are the Allies pretty much done? Or can they still hold/win? What do you think of their...

Garrison unit in Brighton (60, 45) is not fortified. (Put it to ignore losses when you're in there, Mark! :D )

This is the second game in a row that I have had Brit airpower in France auto-relocated to Switzerland, where I am unable to disband, move, change missions or anything. Do we really require the exclusion zone there? I mean, you don't attack any nation in EA without using a TO first - do we...

Gents, I've posted my first article to the TOAW Zone. This thread is for discussion on the series of articles covering the strategy and tactics in Europe Aflame. Please feel free to bring up any discussion or disagreements you've come up with! The first article is featured on the TOAW Zone...

Ok, this thread complements the AXIS thread of the same name. This one is obviously a little different - everyone knows that the Allies are more of a reactionary power, at least for the first portion of the game. The ball is firmly in the Axis court, and the best one can work towards is hanging...

Ok gents, I'm curious. Let's here stories, anecdotes, reasons, thoughts and suspicions... WHAT is the ideal Axis plan for the war? How do you go about achieving victory? Do you have a standard plan? Is there something you suspect would work quite well? Is there a 'sure path'? I'll...

Can the forts be changed (all forts, but specifically the ones that are deployed during the game, like the Ost forts, extended Maginot, etc) so that they come on fortified? And set to ignore losses would also be nice. I spend an hour per game changing all my units to ignore losses as well -...

My involvement with the EA-ICS project has me pondering Sealion. I could use some advice on this *fast*... Suppose the Axis invade the UK. The Russian (a few turns later) is presented with the option to declare war on the Germans. The German knows this, and decides in all honesty that he would...

Mark, I know we have a few spare events lying around, and I'd like to propose an idea for them. It has long annoyed me that in order to simulate the strategic effect of certain locations (Gibraltar, Suez, Malta, Murmansk, etc), we've used supply penalties to the Allies (which works fine, at...

Know what I'd like to see? An option for the Allies to 'strongarm' or bully Allied-leaning neutrals into joining the war, (Greece, Norway, etc). This would, of course, cause penalties to the USEV... What do you guys think? I think that could really open things up a bit more, and it would be...
