Why does this opening attack by the Soviets succeed magnificently almost every time? I have heard time after time that the Axis has an advantage even in the Genco Harris mod, are dice rolls being manipulated on the part of the Allies to offset this? Calculate the loss in in IPC’s of these two territories for Germany and it cost the Soviets 3 infantry? Are you kidding me? I hate the Bomber being moved to the Ukraine. I have modified my defense profile so that Bombers will go before tanks, to try and get some defense rolls but do I move Bomber down even lower, will it make a damn bit of difference?

So how do I respond to this result after these two attacks, do I go all in and hit Ukraine and hope that what I send in there survives the coming counterattack? My purchase after these two attacks if they are successful is always 11 Inf and 2 Arty, if Soviet attack is mildly successful I clean it up with fighters and Infantry from bordering territories, take Karelia, with 3 infantry and move northward to try and stack byelorussia. Send my battleship and transport to transjordan with an inf and arty to try and seal suez and hit British home fleet with 3 subs, 2 fighters, usually my cruiser, but have experimented with just 3 subs and fighters with the logic being that cruiser in the baltic forces Brits to expend airpower possibly on attacking Baltic and may keep your battleship in the Med floating for another turn. Boston NWO I don’t doubt your results, but I am not having same level of success if these two attacks are successful, especially wildly successful like the results I just posted. I do questions the Random dice generator in this game as this result is all too common, apparently my German troops on the Eastern front are equipped with potato guns.

Have started 3 games in the past week or so, as Axis, I only play Axis, this is how each one has started

What do you mean by deadzone?

I am not so sure about Axis having an advantage after losing that battle, to take back Ukraine, you may have to expose or use armor. I do the standard build if I lose those battles 11 inf 2 arty, just takes forever after that to mass the required forces to push Moscow. Before I can the Allies are nipping at my heels, and I have to divert forces west. Meanwhile the Allies are stacking fighters in Moscow.

Not really. I am just amazed at the results of combat in this game truly amazed

How the hell does this result happen so often?

Obviously two different games. Just raging lately at this game. This is the norm rather than the exception as far as Soviet opening moves and its phenomenal success rate

Thanks sorry about that

This is aimed at Axis players as I play Axis exclusively. I have a tough time coming back if the opening Soviet move is successful. I build the standard 11 Inf and 2 Arty trying to max out units and build up Byelorussia but I feel like I cant get the right mass of strength before Germany is getting besieged on the Western front. It seems to easy for Allies to pack Moscow with stacks of fighters so any attack is like a buzzsaw. Curious how you recover from a successful Soviet opening move.
