Hello, I am new to Gary Grigsbys war in the east (I have 21 hours on the game so far), and I need some advice and guidance, specifically playing as the Axis in the road to minsk, smolensk and operation barbarossa scenarios.

I have been watching a 12 video tutorial series on youtube, and I am starting to understand the mechanics of the game, but for me, it is the tactical and strategic area of the game I feel I am having issues with.

I have tried to play the road to minsk, smolensk, and the operation barbarossa scenarios, and each of them I feel I am doing something wrong. I make an encirclement around the soviet units just outside of minsk, and I get them all to surrender, but I am honestly unsure what to do next, and how to do another encircle just like the one I do in the first turn of the game. If I am playing barbarossa, and I am trying to take smolensk, the soviets have lots of units available, and its hard for me to move all of my infantry up when I need them, and time is running out. When I take Mogilev and I am right between the Dnepr and Dvina, I cannot seem to launch any attacks the Dnepr to try to encircle Smolensk, vice versa with the Dvina to the north.

I also wanted to write about how I am able to destroy the soviet airforce units outside of Minsk, but when I try to do so even further after I have taken Minsk , it says my aircraft cannot move that far, and I try to move them up and feel I have difficult moving all my aircraft in the right spots.

Is it possible I am doing something wrong? I keep trying to play the game over and over to see If I can finally pinpoint my mistakes, but I decided I would ask here on the forums and see if anyone might be able to give me some advice.


thank you
