where do you download the no time limit patch. the link isn't working
IIRC, there's a patch included in the installer, no need to hunt another down.
Can anybody provide / point to a primer about the do's and don't in Mod34 compared to HoI2/DD?
I tried a game as germany ... pretty clueless about the techtree, but I THOUGHT I began to manage, then Danzig rolled around, and while I had considerable initial success vs. the Polish, France had behaved highly unhistorical in amassing TONS of divisions including a lot of tanks.
I needed the bulk of my forces to try and overrun Poland (had MASSIVE losses, though, after a week or so my reinforcement need was at >150), obviously, so the west was defended by about a dozen INF and about the same number in garrisons. The french concentrated 70 (!) divisions in a border province, breached the front with tanks and flooded into germany.
In the east, I pushed the polish back, mainly thanks to my tanks, but they also concentrated most of their army in a single province (maybe 50 divisions) and I couldn't penetrate it. Even attacking from all sides with all my tanks plus a lot of INF (with HQ and proper command) would just bleed my ORG, and the polish still defeated me soundly, counter attacked and due to extremely slow org regain compared to vanilla, would begin to drive me back.
Is that really WAD? What obvious research path(s) could I have neglected?
What division composition should Germany have by '39?
Any other hints?
Like I wrote, a primer would be appreciated, but if anybody can at least shell out a hint or two, that'd help immensely.
I never had problems as germany in vanilla DD...
Thanks.
