It is amazing to imagine just how much research had to go into the making of the game. There are pictures and stats of over 18,000 politians and commanders just to give one example. Axis and Allies used to have no rival in my opinion but now I’m changing my mind.
One thing that does bother me though is that when playing as one of the less powerful Allied nations (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, ect…) you are the only nation that helps France (if you choose to). The United Kingom sits by and watches as you have to fight off the Blitzkrieg. This forces you to have to take military control of the UK. Firstly, that’s not very historical (a Canadian Supreme commander over the British forces?) and secondly; not only do you have to deal with the constant responsible of your own nation, you now have command of the entire British empire, and have to do a lot of clicking on those pop-up boxes.
As anyone found a remedy for this problem or ,perhaps, I’m the only one who this bothers.
Just saw this post.
Since I have only played the axis powers, minus Germany, I hadn’t noticed that the UK doesn’t help the French. Send an e-mail to Paradox at the official HOI webite. Paradox is pretty good about fixing problems. Although, it seems that they wait many months to collect a whole bunch of problems before they issue a new patch rather than fix them immediately as the requests come in.
I believe another problem is that AI ships have unlimited range which, as far as I know, they refuse to fix. Apparently, fixing this problem would require such a radical game makeover that they aren’t willing to do it. So, if you are playing Japan, don’t be surprised if you see a large UK fleet in the Indian Ocean even if you have taken all of their nearby ports.
Yeah, it just is a nuisance to have to take command of all Allied units to win a war. Has anyone tried HOI Doomsday yet?
Here is the download for Hearts of Iron 2 http://isohunt.com/dl.php?id=7355546
For anyone interested in A&A the RTS http://torrentspy.com/download.asp?id=751203
Is Doomsday even out yet?
It was sounding pretty cool, but I haven’t exhausted the original yet. Too much Red Orchestra. :-D

Yea its out. I think there should be a good torrent for it on torrentspy.com……ill post it later. I also have been playing Red Orchestra since its going to be free for 5 days. I dont like the infantry style of the game, but the tanks is another story. I love having a full crew on a T34/85 or a Panther. You have to work really well as a team though. Thats why I only play with friends. Anyways, ill post the torrent later.
Get RO, Mech. Atleast get with me tonight or tomorrow and we’ll play a game or two (username the same as A&A account). 2Manny’s ROOst is my common server. I’ll put the IP in the RO thread.
I like infantry maps more, which I’m much better at, but I rarely spend time with armor. I’ll play a tank map or two, or use the tanker class if it’s needed cause no one else will do it. But, I love the strategy, coordination, and VOIP.

I got ya. :wink:
This game is dope! I have conquered the world as the Germans on Hard and am currently playing as Russia. 1942, Winter, and the Germans havnt even gotten near Stalingrad, but they are instead pushing towards Moscow. I would love to get online and play with some people.

I have Doomsday, it’s better, but even more involved. Spys and new techs.
