Markiss -> RE: Executing attacks on Poland, France (12/7/2019 4:56:56 AM)

You don't defend Poland and France... the goal is to slow the Germans down and to do some damage to high value units in the bargain. If you play the Soviets enough, you will become an expert in trading units and territory for time..for time is what you need as the Allies. Time for the Soviets to deploy their first big units purchase..time for the Siberians to show up..time for the Brits to build a large enough army to be relevant..time for the US to arrive. You don't need to win battles, just lose slowly enough for the natural momentum of the game to swing in your favor. As far as the destroyers finding your subs goes, you have to keep your subs moving. Never raid from the same hex twice in a row, or you will be found. Take turns off and move to another location, it will make your subs very hard to track. Never move along a convoy route, that is where the destroyers are..don't go to them, make them chase you..and keep them guessing. And most importantly, have fun. The more you play, the better you will get. Once you have played a PBEM game or 2, beating the AI will be child's play(no offence Hubert, you do a great job of managing infinite possibilities). But playing against a human adds a dimension to the game that you just can't get with the AI. Humans are sneaky. They will recognize and take advantage of your mistakes, they will use your over-aggressiveness to lure you into an ambush..or they will take advantage of your passivity by being over-aggressive themselves and leaving themselves open to counter attacks that you will not be bold enough to take advantage of. Out-smarting a real person is much more satisfying then smoking the AI. On the other hand, it does have it's disadvantages, like having to wait for your opponent to take their turn. But it is worth it, in my opinion.
