I'll be there next tues/thurs. No fricken idea what country I'll take, maybe I'll leave it upto the masses to decide. SE.
 
European minors

May I be Poland if Yugoslavia is not available ?
 
I take France.And i dont like the max staking rule( 48 divs on urban terrain),i think it should be applied only to the poland campaign, to avoid human player put all poland divs on Warsaw,but nothing else.If you find an untakable urban province,dont atack and try to encercle,easy.
 
Once I had a game where my opponent
gathered 200 divisions in Moscow. It
looked ridiculously unrealistic and took
a lot of time to bomb those troops to
starvation despite the encirclement.

So, we should have the limit for urban
capitals.

Anyway Paris doesn't have urban terrain
and you may keep entire French army in
the province
 
LOL. Germany you say, well this should be interesting. Everyone make sure you are there on Tuesday so I can show you all what not to do with the Germans. :D SE.
 
well

if stalin is gonna be germany........then i want to play poland.........and btw.....hey stalin...you know the rest!
