michael1776 -> It Pays to Get Decisive Victories Early (1/2/2012 10:46:02 PM)

Well I can already see it coming. Here I have slogged through twelve battles or so, to end up with a Marginal Victory in the Overlord scenario, which will most likely secure me a Marginal Victory overall. I just wasn't able to get the all important Decisive Victories early on. The Soviet Union, particularly the Moscow scenario, saw to that. And let me tell you that Overlord is no walk in the park. My initial strategy of rushing everything up, to keep the allies from breaking out of the peninsula, failed miserably in the face of the withering air assault. This left my interceptors destroyed, and any bombers on the map as all but useless. Naturally, with unchecked allied air power my ground units were obliterated. So then I allowed the allies to break out, spread out, and attempted to cut them off piecemeal. This proved to be a difficult strategy, however, it left me most of my airforce intact and I was able to save Paris, and five other objectives from being taken. The whole thing was very close, and culminated in a massive tank battle just south of Paris.
So now I am on to the Ardennes forest once more, with a depleted airforce, far fewer veteran units, and not nearly enough prestige points to matter. Maybe I can salvage enough of the front to keep from having to take a long walk in the woods and the gentleman's way out. Back to the Front...
