Balance... What is balance in a war game... Utter bullshit. War isn't balanced, war is pitting a hundreds of officers against each others hoping that yours are going to be better than the others.

How boring would a game be if you could only fight against people of your own caliber. Especially a Wargame simulator.





I will take Germans with Auto Victory condition game. Along with house rule of Leningrad, Moscow, Vorzonezh, and Rostov held in 41 Soviet auto defeat since we all know as a community how this game would turn out in the long run. Along with the standard house rules. I am so glad you don't like balance or what caliber people you fight against.


Pelton's standard house rules just for clarification since we are not worried about balance.



And what is complaining to other players going to do to solve your problem ?

So far, all the people who have been part of the problem, the only thing they have done, is keep new players away, and making the game die each new player at a time. Great solution guys.

There are plenty of great AAR's that have been done by many of these people that you are accusing that have done nothing but help others in this game. Just because you are not agreeing with what is being said doesn't give the right to say these people are the problem for keeping people away. That is just bad IMO.



I dont think were talking about the same thing.

I wanted to see if you would stand up for what you wrote in your first post. I assume you did not mean what you wrote. Good luck.

Status: offline 		I agree that Neogodhobo's language was probably a bit strong, and he was expressing a bit too much frustration, but to put the blame solely on him for the balance discussion becoming increasingly bitter is a bit rich. Maybe we should all spend a bit more time on self-reflection here. The sarcastic comments whenever anyone has a good German game, or the snide, bordering on rude, responses whenever anyone even marginally disagrees with the anti-soviet balance orthodoxy, combined with the accusations that people are axis propagandists any time they dare to disagree (you've been guilty of this a few times yourself HLYA), is something that's been happening for a long time. And I have to say I find it quite frustrating myself. I don't disagree that there might be significant imbalance in the game, I'm not experienced enough to make that assessment. However, I fell in love with this game reading the AARs for many months before I played and the constant bickering in those threads is really not helpful (and may very well turn off new players). This thread is a perfectly suitable place to have this discussion but I feel everyone would benefit from checking their date of birth on their passport and considering whether their behaviour reflects that. Considering the complexity of this game, I assume everyone here is a bit too old to be having a hissy fit every time someone disagrees with them or they don't get their way.

I just think the quality of the debate surrounding balance in this game has been in decline for a while, with multiple flare ups. People seem to oscillate here between being antagonistic and rude to any divergent opinion, to preaching a calm and more polite debate, often its the same people in two different threads.

My post was not directed at you and I didn't read anything on this whole post apart from Chaos45's post laughing at me. I did read the first page (just now) though and realized some of my points made are wrong. As I understand it, the devs are actually reading this so complaining about some problems in the game would be quite useful, indeed.

Your challenge, I wouldn't mind playing if I already wasn't playing 2 5v5 games and wasnt busy having my personal life (as with everyone).

Im already playing against players who are much better than me so your " He only plays in his own safety bubble" statement againat me is quite out there.

My first game was against Telemecus and his veteran generals in 2by3+. So...yeah. (and we got crushed).


I understand you being angry if youv received hate mail but trust me, its wrongly placed towards me. And yes, I should have read at least the first page before posting.

Perhaps HL is right and if the devs could let us know a little then we could all prepare or find our own work arounds for if there were to be changes in one way or another or heck even none at all

However I agree with Ledo shouting "I know best" mentality permeating the forum is killing a lot of interest, myself included as the social side of the game and the forum pale comapred to what it used to be atm
What is important to me is that the most amount of people possible enjoy themselves as much as they can and if people are enjoying themselves then mission accomplished as this is ultimately a game
What is much more harmful is anybody being so adamant that they are "right" and feeling vindicated in theirs being the only publicly opinion heard, this is not a 1 party state, it's a game, chill out abit, none of us area really Stalin or Hitler, don't let it get to your head so much

Ultimately this game has far far far too many variables to accurately guess how every mechanic will mesh in every game for anyone below the 0.001% and even if the 0.001% put those views onto others games they will instantly be incorrect as they are not you and they will not play the same and it will not go in the way you envisioned, that is the nature of all games, they are subjective, it's how all online competetive games work especially, none of us are important enough to warrant this kind of ego, whether a beginner, pro or veteran, we're a collective

If anyone is losing 90 games out of 100 as either side then pick your opponents more carefully, reflect on how you can better yourself but it is not the games fault that it is happening, that's myopic and selfish

I have not really posted much here since I first joined - and until recently enjoyed the atmosphere on the site. I think we can all see it has gone down the toilet.

But I have to thank Ledo for spurring me on to finally commnet. I was one of those new guys who kept an army in reserve for a final attack - it was required in qn old board game so it seems to me not unreasonable for many beginners to do that. Not something to be laughed at.

But the rank hypocrisy of some of the posters above is amazing. After a long time I was tempted to join one of the team games - and we can all see the trolling and poison there. Go and have a look at the 9PM opponents wanted posts. Someone preaching calm here was trying to take over someone else's game. They posted so much poison that I do not feel I can post an interest there - and I can see no one else has.

It has come to the point when the trollers do need to be called out -particularly when they masquerade as something else elsewhere. If not then all other new guys or the ones not wanting to see that stuff will be put off this site completely.

At the moment most rulesets disallow that, but with the actual german performance, this could bring some well soviet weapons back in the game.

Having airborne and amphibs allowed in more games would help bring more variety and options but you could still easily have a house rule that stops hitting the rail lines with those options

No. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. The full blizzard just plays differently at the moment because of the extra MP from failed attacks.

So before blizzard yes - but not beyond that?
