    playing red front

    hi, i´m having a problem while playing red front
    the game is telling me that there are too many units, and the game can´t build new ones.

    did that ever happen to any of you?
    how many units are too many units??

    Yes!
    I don't know.

    Has anyone ever taken Berlin?

      some people say that have done it, but if you enable the cheat mode and see the map i don´t think is possible

        I have had the too many units thing before. Just disband Red Army that are about to die...

        And yes, it is possible to take Berlin and all of Germany. I did it in May of 1944.

          Dude, I take Berlin all the time, very early as Darth does. Sometime ago I posted a Startegy Guide for this... lemme see if I can find it. Xin posted one too, but unless you want to win in 4 turns... j/k Xin

            I have taken Berlin and eastern Norway as well. Finland was completely anihilated and i took a city in Italy IIRC. Or i failed by a turn?

            Anyway...

            I have only played the scenario three times with the third being sucessfull.

            The trick it seems lies with the soviet tactical bombers. Use them a lot. Also prefer the tank destroyers to building tanks.

              But all of Germany....

              Are you certain?

              IIRC Loneburg or Hamburg had about 162 Waffen SS garissoned in late 1944. How could one take it?


              The most amazing thing was when i destroyed 62(SIXTY TWO) StuGs at a single battle with a T-70.

              However what puzzles me to this day is that when the stack was eliminated another StuG took their place. If the StuG existed before the battle it should have been destroyed along with the others. If the StuG was created by an event in the same square due to the StuGs' destruction then 62 StuG should have taken their place, not one.

              The only possible explanation(other than being simply a bug) is that the "create unit when unit killed" event has the just once trigger, which i doubt it.

                are there any second front strategies?

                  My only second front strategy is not to run out of gas!

                  and use terrain bonuses/penalties as much as possible.



                  The Red Front issue with running out of units occurs if you don't disband some Red Army guys. Do that on your first turn to get production started for rush building.

                  What is the quick and dirty strategy...

                  Don't counter attack early.
                  Build your defensive line further east than you think.
                  Sell every expensive improvement you can. And rush build til the money is all the way gone.
                  Run away! Run away!
                  Research fast toward the KV-1 tech. (three turns?)
                  Then the IL-2 tech.
                  Use specialists in towns that are going to get run over anyway.
                  Use labor to improve defensive cities before founding new cities in the east later.

                  That should get you started. And the whole map is very conquerable.

                  (lol at FMK re Xins plethora of clever tricks)

                    The event engine only thinks the top unit was killed...

                    Which makes hitting stacks pretty smart!

                        yeh, I forgot about that. What unit was it that triggered? I recall it being posted somewhere, but I still can't bring myself to read the events in case I play it again.

                        I haven't played the v2 of SF beyond the first bat file; I should fire that up.

                          Hmmm Stalingrad event. Do you mean the creation of the pontoon bridge over the Don? I thought that was triggered when you loaded up the Summer 1942 Event file. I didn't know there was a special unit that needed to be destroyed. Or is there another Stalingrad event?

                            No. That is wrong. Check it in a scenario of your own. If five X units die in a single attack then five X units will be created at the specific location.


                            What Stalingrand event? I did not loose Stalingrant in my last game so i would not know. Unless you mean that pontoon bridge.
