I'm a total history nerd and very damn disappointed in this "event." I tuned in to twitch..... then I saw you put it on YouTube. I had stuff to do but bookmarked it. Upon further attempts at viewing... see ipkai video above. Damn it relic. I understand things happen, but this was poorly done. I still want to see the thing.

the volks suppression bulletin has an awesome name. i think "complete disregard for safety" Personally i think bulletins don't do a whole heck of a lot, but then again i'm no pro either. The only ones I like are the veterancy bulletins. Most bulletins have like 3-5% on some stat. unless the base number is very high, 3-5% is negligible, and even then... still not noticeable. the panther 3% armor one, 3% of 320 is good, but whats another 10 armor on 320. meh.

ok, basically what i already suspected. I didnt barrage with mortars so i'll do that next time. I just hate the accuracy of barrage and figured it would be better to attack ground through fow when los was lost. mortar hts have been the most effective and i usually have spearhead in my loadout. rngesus hates my incendiary barrages though, ask everybody with maxim spam ive tried to burn . the time i tried against building i had 2 mortars and a mht. it took the mht two incen barrages. i just think building three mortars or more is crazy, especially early. One needs some infantry as well.

The only issue i have with going elsewhere and leaving mortars to kill building is, what happens if they go after the mortars? If they have 2-3 units do it, you're losing one of the mortars even if you retreat the instant you see them. i suppose flamer pios defending mortars would mitigate, but i really like them with my army in an urban map. lots of opportunities for sneaky flanks with them. or leave an mg with them i guess.

I've only seen this done four or so times, im likely a lower end of mid level player, so guys like me dont do this often. although one time it was The Angry Bears (dammit napalm!!!) who did it to us, most of the time i don't think they were even arranged teams.

as for a seven minute stuka.... i rarely play okw, and my mates have never gotten one quite that fast. best ive seen was about 9-10. i don't doubt it though.

destroying every building on some maps would take 20 minutes. i have tried to level the buildings i would use for it and leave only the crappy ones that go down in a stiff wind if i suspect it though. cases that ive done that they dont use the FHQ aggressively though. but yes, when i see one, im afraid of strong buildings.

personally i think they should only be able to be built in connected territory like most other buildings, but that's just my two cents.

I don't see why the Italian campaign is impossible. Italian armor wasnt good, so they just had german ones. problem solved. elefants were in italy so there is one heavy call in, and just add tigers too. (havent researched if tigers were in italy, but timeline seems like they might have been) The Elefant that was shipped to the US was recovered in Italy. Commonwealth troops wouldnt have any problems lining up against all the axis factions and just augment the Italian faction with German troops/armor as needed, which is entirely realistic as that's what they did. I do not suspect they will do it, but if I were in the brain storming room it would be my proposal. Just avoid making Brits like vcoh and it will be great. who doesnt want a sherman firefly?

Pacific, on the other hand, doesnt seem like it would work. The war that would fit this game there was entirely infantry based after long naval/air bombardments. Actually the real war was fought at sea and taking the islands was merely to provide a platform for refueling and refitting to get to the next island so ultimately you could have Japanese homeland within reach of the land based bombers. Since this isn't a game suitable to air forces or ships.... I can't see that being viable. As for the ground war, the Japanese tanks were basically WWI models. How in the world could that hold up to a KV-1, let alone anything heavier. They wouldnt stand a chance against shermans. Just imagine a ton of light tanks running around (very slowly at that) getting shredded by jacksons. Not viable except as a standalone which would have to be incompatible with the prior factions. I can't imagine they would go that route. If they were heading down that path.... coh3 seems more likely that an incompatible standalone.

I really hope they flesh out the WFA armies with some more commanders, but I'm sure they will do so. A close air support doctrine for the USF seems likely, at least to my reasoning. There are a bunch of different ways to go with both WFA factions,and I will be happy if/when they do so. Hopefully in another year or so we get something like the above mentioned Italian campaign. I do pray they don't sell it like they did WFA/AA. The separating of the two just seemed peculiar, but I bet that's more to do with Sega than Relic. In any case, any new content is greatly appreciated.

Modify reckitbalance by adding luftwaffe supply. We called it maximum troll. Basically the same deal as napalm just faster kt. Okw spends fuel only on teching and kt. Wehrmacht elite can pretty much play as usual. Luftwaffe throws in some support weapons and med kits. Try to have elites do bulk of the fighting so they gets cps for tiger ace. Mostly for 4s but we dido it in a 3 also. Gardening brilliant on napalm. I just tweaked it.
