Status: offline 		So, what are peoples biggest blunders in this game so far?
I had a biggie today in the Norway scenario. I wiped out the enemy inf in Oslo surprisingly easily but forgot to actually occupy the city. That I only realized when I had taken Narvik and still did not finish the scenario. The decisive victory became a marginal :o

Sounds like you had naval units to its rear so that it could not retreat and the Allies attacked it? This will leave to an automatic scuttle

I don't recall the allies attacking the port, though it was a few days ago so my recollection may not be spot on. The port was in the enemy's rear.

Only as long as they have nowhere to retreat. Also quite handy in the Norwegian campaign if you place a recon unit in the northern landing zone, as you are likely to be able to scuttle one of the British units landing in the city just south of the landing zone this way.

Status: offline 		Keep hitting the end turn button rather then buying elite replacements for a Tiger with 5 star's and watching it die to a horde of crappy Russian recon units.

Snuck behind Stalingrad and the Recon unit got bogged down, lost a 5 star 17CM gun and 2 sets of paratroopers to the tanks just sitting there for no apparant reason.
