| 4. WELCOME |================================================================
+=============+
Welcome to my FAQ for Operation Europe. Since this is a war and strategy game,
there is no walkthrough per say. Instead, this FAQ is broken up into parts.
First you will be given what campaigns you can participate in and how to set up
the battlefield. Next, you will be given all the possible commands you can
give with a brief description of what those commands are. The last part is
dedicated to strategy. This strategy will give you an idea on how to win your
campaigns. Input is appreciated along with constructive criticism. If you
wish to e-mail me thoughts on this FAQ, better ways of doing things, other
strategies, etc., feel free. Make sure you put OE FAQ in the subject. If you
don't, I'm liable to discard the e-mail as spam.
+==============+
| 5. OVERVIEW |===============================================================
+==============+
Operation Europe takes place in the European Theater of Operations (ETO).
Instead of going through the entire history of WWII in the ETO, selected battles
are used instead. These battles range from France's plains to the steppes of
Russia to the deserts of North Africa. You then decide whether you want to be
the Allies or Axis in these battles. Your job then will be to achieve the
victory conditions defined by the specific battle you are fighting. At your
disposal are all the resources (equipment, commanders, etc.) available at that
time to ensure victory. You also must not only be familiar with how to fight
battles, but also all the planning, logistics, and pitfalls of how to properly
plan and fight a battle to ensure maximum effect. This means, causing a heckuva
lot more casualties to the enemy then your troops receive.
**********************
****************************** S E C T I O N II *****************************

+===================+
| 6. THE CAMPAIGNS |==========================================================
+===================+
Operation Europe is broken down into six campaigns. These campaigns are:
Occupation of France: May 10 - Jun 22, 1940
North African War: May 26 - Jul 5, 1942
Fierce Battle of Kursk: Jul 5 - Sep 5, 1943
Storming of Normandy: Jun 6 - Aug 19, 1944
Battle of the Bulge: Dec 16, 1944 - Jan 21, 1945
Fight for Berlin: Apr 16 - May 16, 1945
When you choose the highlighted campaign, you will be given a brief history of
that campaign. You will then be given a choice of whether you wish to play
that campaign or go back to the campaign list again. After you have chosen the
campaign to play, you will next be asked whether you wish to play Demo
(watching the computer play against itself), 1, or 2 player. Once that choice
is made, you will be asked if you wish to be the Allies or Axis. For purposes
of this game, the Allies are the United States, Britain, France, and Russia
with the Germans and Italians being the Axis.
+====================+
| 7. THE COMMANDERS |=========================================================
+====================+
After you choose whether to be the Allies or Axis, you are given a display of
all the commanders that particular campaign will have. The display is like
this:
D C A T
u L h I t a
t d r n r n
y r m f y k
Name of Commander Numbers between 1 and 99 representing above traits
Division Report
The numbers after the commanders name represents either their strength or
weakness in particular trait. Historical commanders like Patton have higher
traits in the areas they were noted for such as Tank and Leadership for Patton.
You can change these numbers by using the "C" button on the gamepad. Be warned
that these numbers are generally random and it may take a while to get the
scores you want for that commander. Also, some commanders while strong in some
areas may be very weak in others causing the values to remain low regardless of
how many times you change them. You can also get some brief biographical info
on a particular commander by pressing the "A" button when their name is high-
lighted.
The traits are:
Ldr (Leadership): The ability to make units execute command quickly and
sometimes fight beyond their capacity. Has a telling effect on close battles.
Chrm (Charm): Basically the ability to schmooz somebody. Good trait when
dealing with higher headquarters when requesting supplies or reinforcements.
Also helps when motivating the troops.
Inf (Infantry): Good with infantry tactics. Helps infantry units fight
better.
Atry (Artillery): Good with artillery tactics. Helps for artillery units
getting on the mark more often and inflicting a lot more casualties.
Tank: Good with armor tactics: Helps the armored and mechanized units fight
better.
Once you have gotten your commanders values the way you want them, hit the
"START" button to go to the next menu. This is where you will assign your
commanders to their duties. Usually, the roles that require high charm (>90)
and leadership (>90) are the AC, CO, and CI. The divisional commanders need
to have pretty high leadership (>80) and their specialty of Inf, Atry, or Tank
(>80). If you need to, click on the Division Report to ensure that you have
the best commander for the right unit. A commander good at Tank won't probably
do a great job with a low Inf value. Again, the best commander for the job.
Later on, you will learn how to change commanders in the main menu if the
commander you have chosen doesn't seem to be up for the job. That again is why
when you are getting values, get the best ones possible in case you need to
replace a commander who has been relieved or killed in battle.
Duty is the duty that the particular commander is assigned to. The duties
are:
AC (Army Commander): Overall command of all divisions.
CO (Chief of Operations): Responsible for day to day operations. Also re-
sponsible for ordering of supplies, extra men, and reinforcements.
CI (Chief of Intelligence): Responsible for special forces operations.
1, 2, 3, 4: The four divisional commanders.
Once you have done all of the above and are satisfied with your setup, you are
reading to go into battle. The next section will describe all the menus and
the battlefield.

| 8. BEING IN CHARGE |========================================================
+=====================+
Once you have completed getting your commanders set up and ready to go, you
will be taken to the next screen that you will use throughout the campaign.
The main screen looks something like this:
===============================================================================
| |
| ============================================ ======================== |
| | | |DATE, HOUR AND | |
| | BATTLEFIELD MAP WITH ALL THE | |WEATHER CONDITIONS | |
| | | ======================== |
| | TERRAIN FEATURES AND UNITS | |
| | | ======================== |
| | MAP IS A 40,40 GRID | |MENU(S) OF COMMAND | |

| | | ======================== |
| ============================================ |COMMANDER PERFORMING | |
| MESSAGES, PROMPTS, AND ANY OTHER INFO |ACTION | |
| IS DISPLAYED HERE ======================== |
|=============================================================================|
Each menu item and submenu items are described below:
Tact (Tactical): This is the menu that enables you to command your units.
You must next select a division then regiment to give orders to. The
orders you can give are (when you select an order, a cursor will appear):
Move: Select where to move the regiment.
Dfnd (Defend): Select where the regiment is to go on the defensive.
Atck (Attack): Select where the regiment is to attack.
Sbtg (Sabotage): Select where the regiment wants to perform an act of
sabotage.
Sply (Supply): Select where the regiment wishes to receive supplies (from
another unit or a city).
Prsu (Pursue): Select what unit the regiment wishes to pursue. The unit
can be friendly or an enemy.
Ocpy (Occupy): Select what enemy city the regiment wishes to occupy. If
the city has defenses, the regiment must beat them before the occupation
can be accomplished.
Rest: Select where you will let the unit rest
SpFc (Special Forces): This is the menu for doing special forces operations.
The orders you can give are (when you select an order, a cursor will appear):
Raid: Select an enemy city or unit to destroy its defenses.
Sbtg (Sabotage): Select an enemy city to destroy defenses or supplies.
Cut: Select an enemy city or unit to cut its communication. When this
occurs, that unit or city cannot be contacted or controlled.
Elim (Eliminate): Select an enemy unit to eliminate its commander.
Rarely is this successful. If it does succeed, it will cause chaos in
the enemy division.
Info: Select an enemy city or unit to get info about. This info includes
number soldiers, vehicles, artillery pieces, etc., ammo, fuel, and food
situation. It may also include unit morale and fatigue.
Ask: Request supplies, extra men, or reinforcements from headquarters. A
result of these requests is not instant and can take a few hours. Don't be
surprised by a few turn-down's before HQ approves the request.
Air: Request for a bombing run (designated by cursor), paratrooper landing
(select for what division and how many), or a supply drop.
Orgz (Organize): You can organize units with city units or re-organize units
with each other (see general strategies #12)
Move: This command allows you to move headquarters between divisions and
regiments. It also allows you to relieve commanders who don't seem to be
doing their job.
Info: This menu gives all the information you need in one menu. The submenus
are broken into two halves: Axis and Alld. Each menu under this headings is
the same. The menus are:
Gnrl (Generals): The generals and their trait values.
Arms: The different arms that are available. This menu goes even farther
by giving a description of each of the arms and country of origin depicted
by that national flag (to see all arms available for each campaign, look
in the appendix). These descriptions are:
AP (Anti-Personnel): The higher the number, the more men that can be
killed.
AT (Anti-Tank): The higher the number, the easier it is to destroy
enemy armor and more of it.
Df (Defense): The ability of a unit to defend itself. Higher number
means better defensive capabilities.
Sp (Speed): How fast a unit can move per hour. The higher the
number, the faster the movement.
GR (Gun Range): The maximum number of hexes the gun can fire. The
higher the number, the longer the range of the gun.
Clicking on the "C" button puts up the same statistics below with the
addition of CR (Cruising Range): How far mechanized forces can go
before refuel. NOTE: If the number is 0, the unit doesn't require
fuel.
Vict (Victory): Victory condition to win the campaign.
Unit: Gives info about your and enemy units (ones successfully spied on).
Clicking on "C" will bring up a choice of what division you want info on.
After selecting the division a screen will come up with all the regiments
that make up that division. The display looks like this:
===============================================================================
| Now Goal Picture of |
| |
| Gas Can Bullets Food Thumb Crossed Rifles Skull&Crossbones |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Regiments still active are here. If there is no regiment, the area |
| is a blank space instead. |
| |
|=============================================================================|
Explanations for the headings are as follows:
Now: Where the unit is now in x,y coordinates where both x and y are
in between 0 and 39.
Goal: Where the unit is going to in x,y coordinates where both x and
y are between 0 and 39.
Gas Can: How much gas the unit has left. Between 0 and 100%.
Bullets: How much ammo the unit has left. Between 0 and 100%.
Food: How much food the unit has left. Between 0 and 100%.
Thumb: The unit's morale. Between 0 and 100.
Crossed Rifles: The unit's experience/training. Between 0 and 99.
Skull&Crossbones: The unit's fatigue level. Between 0 and 99.
When you move the directional pad left or right, it depresses a
regimental button on the bottom of the screen and highlights that
regiments Now position. Clicking on the "C" where there is a regiment
brings up the battalion screen. The battalion screen is almost identical
to the regimental screen except it has removed the pictures of the gas
can, bullets, and food. These pictures have been replaced by pictures
of troops and a flat tire. These pictures represent the number of troops
per battalion (such as 72 M3A8 Shermans or 22 T34/85). The flat tire
represents the number of vehicles or troop equipment that is damaged and
can be fixed by an supply/repair unit.
Clicking on the "C" one more time gives you the specifics of that troop
or piece of equipment as explained in the Arms part above.
City: Gives info about your and enemy cities (ones successfully spied on).
Clicking on "C" will also give you information about the defending units
located in that city.
Wait: Let's you put in the number of hours that your armies rest. Good for
when you are waiting for something such as supplies or special forces
operations. Also good for when you need to rest up your divisions after some
hard campaigning.
Pressing the "START" button brings up the game menus. These consist of:
War: Whether to view battles or not.
Advc (Advice): Whether you want the computer to give you advice.
Gfx (Graphics): Turns battle animations off and on.
Musc (Music): Turns the music off and on.
Save: Save your game.
Load: Load a saved game.
Quit: Quit the game you're on.
Other non-menu commands are pressing the "A" button to get info from the
battlefield. Pressing "C" gives you a big picture view of the battlefield.
+=====================+
| 9. THE BATTLEFIELD |========================================================
+=====================+
Usually the orders you give your troops will result in some battle having to
be fought. This battle can either be with other enemy units or against cities.
The Tact menu display allows you, as the commander, to decide what units are
going to engage what targets. Remember, that just because you order a unit to
attack doesn't mean it will instantly happen. The unit has to get to where it
will do battle. Then it takes anywhere from two to ten hours game time for
that unit to set up to do battle.
Once that unit is ready for battle, you will get a message under the battle-
field map "War preparations complete. Begin attack (Y/N)?". If you choose
not to attack, then more time will elapse and this message will appear again.
After you answer yes to beginning the attack, the next question will be "Take
direct command over allied or axis forces (Y/N)?". If you answer no, you will
delegate control to the computer general in charge of that unit. The last
question will be "View the battle display (Y/N)?". If you don't want to view
the battle display, the battle will occur without you seeing what is going on.
After the battle has been fought, you will be given the question "Report
results (Y/N)?". If you choose yes, it will give you all the casualty figures
for all units participating in the battle.
If you chose yes to the question of taking direct command and viewing the
battle display, you will take full control of all your units participating
in the battle. The main battle screen will appear and look like this:
===============================================================================

| ================ | | | |
| | +----------------+ +-----+ | |
| ================ | | HIGHLIGHTED | | HIGHLIGHTED| |
| | TIMER | |===========================================| |
| ================ |
|=============================================================================|
Explanation for the parts of the local battlefield are as follows:
You will have to set up your troops in the areas marked "HIGHLIGHTED". You can
set your troops up anywhere in the "HIGHLIGHTED" area. Generally, troop setup
will follow where the attacking unit is in relation to the defending unit.
For example, if the attacker is coming from the defenders left side, then the
"HIGHLIGHTED" area will be on the right side of the local battlefield. If
the attacker is coming from the bottom left corner of the defender, then the
"HIGHLIGHTED" area will be the bottom left corner of the local battlefield.
After setting up your troops, it is now time to give them commands. You can
either command a battalion or the entire regiment to perform a specific action.
These are the six commands you can give your troops when going into battle.
These commands are not "set in stone" for the duration of combat. You can
intercede as the battle conditions change. You do this by pressing "A" during
the battle. The commands are listed from top to bottom from the left side of
the command menu.
Move: Move your troops to a specific location.
Attack: Attack a specific enemy formation.
Pursue: Chase an enemy formation.
Retreat: When you choose this command, certain areas along the edge will
become "HIGHLIGHTED". Just get your troops into these areas and you can
escape. Of course, if you're surrounded, there will be no escape.
Follow: Follow another battalion into battle.
Regiment toggle: By pressing this button, you can change orders from just
battalion to the entire regiment. To get back to the battalion menu again,
just press "C" twice on the controller.
The timer in the bottom left of the screen tells you how much time you have to
accomplish what you set out to do. If you don't finish the job in the
allotted time, you have to again make battle preparations.
If the enemy attacks you first, you will get the message "Enemy unit has
attacked, take over (Y/N)?". After that, all the commands that follow you
taking over will be the same as if you were the one attacking.
Another thing you can do during battle is press the "START" button. This
enables you to toggle the battle animations on and off. I tend to keep them
toggled off since it makes the battle sequences go faster.
Once the battle is over, don't forget to replenish your troops, repair broken
equipment, and try to get them rested up for the next battle.

+=========================+
| 10. GENERAL STRATEGIES |====================================================
+=========================+
These are a list of general strategies for all the campaigns that I have found
to be effective. I know that there are many more different strategies out
there. Your input on this would be greatly appreciated and your reward would
be to see it added to this guide and credited appropriately. These are not in
any particular order of importance but some or all may apply to whatever
campaign you are engaged in.
______________________________________
/ 10.1 Know what your objectives are /
--------------------------------------
This is probably one of the most important things to remember when you are
planning for your battles. In order to achieve victory in this game, you must
fulfill some or all of the objectives stated. To see what both you and your
opponent's victory conditions are, click on the "Info" button on the main menu,
then click on the "Vict" button. These conditions will determine how you will
allocate or rearrange your forces to achieve this victory.
_____________________________
/ 10.2 Know the big picture /
-----------------------------
Too many times, one will get tunnel vision and only concentrate on one little
aspect of the battlefield. This can result in significant problems since you
may be winning one particular battle while the enemy is busy overrunning you
on all other parts of the battlefield. There are two views you can go to. To
get to the first view, click on the "A" button. You will see a blinking cursor
shaped like a box. Using the directional controls on the gamepad, you can move
the cursor around to check out terrain features or to identify units. Clicking
on the "A" button again over a unit will tell you that unit's ammo, fuel, food,
morale, experience, and fatigue levels. It will also tell you where the unit
is now and what (if any) objectives that it is assigned to go to.(coordinates
are listed as x,y). Clicking on a town will tell you that town's ammo, fuel,
and food levels. It will also tell you of any defenses that town may have. If
you click on the "A" button one more time, you will be able to see a "birds-
eye" view of where all your units are and any enemy units that you may have
identified. To pan around the area, use the directional controls.
________________________
/ 10.3 Know your enemy /
------------------------
This goes hand-in-hand with knowing the big picture. It's not enough to know
where you and the enemy is, you need to know what the enemy has. This is
where espionage comes into play. To get information for an enemy unit or town,
click on the "SpFc" button. In the SpFc submenu, click on the "Info" button
again. The same cursor as in #2 will appear. Move the cursor with the di-
rectional controls until it is over an enemy city or unit. You will then be
given how much time (in hours) that the operation will take. If the operation
succeeds, you will be able to plan more effectively since you will know what
your opposition possesses.
_________________________________________
/ 10.4 The right unit for the right job /
-----------------------------------------
When you have the above three achieved, then it is time for you to plan how to
obtain your objective. If an enemy unit or units are in your way, then you
must prepare for battle. It would be foolhardy to send in infantry or armored
personnel carriers against an enemy force composed of King Tigers or Panthers.
Since the game allows you to be flexible in how you allocate resources among
the regiments, build them with victory in mind. If you have two units that
have 400 infantry, consolidate them together to make a unit of 799 and 1 (the
one remains because the only way to lose regiments in this game is elimination
by enemy action). If you have mixed units, shuffle around the battalions
within them to make the most effective strike against the enemy. The objective
here is to focus all your resources at the point of attack so you can hopefully
eliminate the enemy. My personal favorite is to get all the artillery (155 and
105mm guns) into one regiment. These guns have long range and they can soften
up an enemy before they get within range of my infantry and armor. Sometimes,
though, you may need to sacrifice a regiment to either weaken the enemy so that
other regiments can "mop" up. Be sure you can afford the loss. Keep in mind
that battle doesn't immediately start the moment that one of your units gets
next to an enemy unit or city. There are a few hours (game time) that is
involved before battle begins. Also, the enemy may also be planning an attack
and they may get the jump on you. Always expect the unexpected.
_____________________________________
/ 10.5 Beans, bullets, and bandages /
-------------------------------------
To remain combat effective, a unit must be constantly supplied. Without these
supplies, a unit will become immobilized due to lack of fuel, unable to fight
due to lack of ammo, or starve to death due to lack of food. This is why it is
imperative to ensure that the supply lines stay open. All regiments in the
division ending in an eight are your supply/repair regiments. Your goal (in
addition to achieving your objectives) is to ensure that your supply/repair
regiments are protected from the enemy. Once these regiments are lost, they
cannot be gained back. A favorite tactic of mine is to take an understrength
unit (usually mechanized) and hunt down the identified enemy supply/repair
units. This definitely has a telling effect since the enemy units then must
go to the cities to resupply. Considering that the cities are spread out a big
distance and not all of them have the supplies necessary for replenishment can
have a telling effect toward a units combat effectiveness. Keep in mind that
the enemy will also try the same tactics on you. You can only get new supplies
through a city although your units can transfer supplies amongst each other.
This why it is important to hold onto those cities or no new supplies will be
coming in and your attack will grind to a halt.
_____________________________________________
/ 10.6 Sleep..I'll get enough when I'm dead /
---------------------------------------------
When you drive your units hard to engage the enemy, take cities, lay mines,
etc., they will get fatigued. Any good commander knows that the longer a unit
is engaged in battle, the more fatigued they will become and the less effective
at combat they will become. That is why it is a good idea to monitor a units
fatigue if they have been on the line for a while. I've found that when a unit
reaches about 60% fatigue level, they respond slower to orders and they are
more vulnerable to enemy attack. Another way a unit will become fatigued is if
they run out of food. If there is no food, the fatigue level will go up very
quickly. The only way to solve the fatigue problem is to let a unit rest.
Just make sure to send them to the rear area to rest or the enemy will con-
stantly engage them keeping their fatigue level high.
__________________________
/ 10.7 Damage and repair /
--------------------------
After you have fought a battle (whether you won or lost) you need to take
stock of what damage you have taken. To take stock, click on the "Info"
button. Then click on the "Unit" button. Click on the division that the
units belong to and the display will be for all regiments within that division.
Last, click on the specific regiment you want info for. The second column will
have the number of damaged units within that regiment. Units that have been
eliminated will need to be replaced. Units that have been damaged, however,
need to be repaired. Sending damaged units into a battle is a good way to
ensure their elimination without them inflicting any damage on the enemy.
This is where the supply/repair units come into play. All regiments in the
division ending in eight are an supply/repair unit. When you get done with
battle, have your units that are damaged surround your engineer/repair unit.
Have that supply/repair unit then make repairs on all the damaged equipment.
supply/repair units can also repair a cities defenses.
___________________________________________
/ 10.8 The best offense is a good defense /
-------------------------------------------
There are times where you may be very weak while the enemy is very strong.
You can do a couple of things to prevent your premature elimination. One is
to stay one step ahead of the enemy to keep from getting engaged in a decisive
battle. The other way (which I use extensively) is to dig in your troops until
reinforcements arrive to allow you to go onto the offensive. The best way to
do this is get all your engineering units together and start laying a mine
perimeter. This is one time where you may have to work them through high
fatigue since time is of essence. Once you've laid your minefield, be sure to
keep track of the enemy engineers since they will work on removing those mines.
You can do a lot of damage to enemy units that attempt to attack you since they
seem to attempt to go around the whole perimeter hitting mines. I've knocked
some enemy units down to 50% with them just bumping into my minefields. Other
good defensive positions, when you don't have time for minelaying, is terrain
that is advantageous to you like forests and hills. Again, you can find out
what terrain types are by just clicking on the "A" button , going to an area
other then a unit or city, and clicking on the "A" button again. If you dig
in, you have a better chance of defending an area. Also be sure to blow up
bridges to make it even harder for the enemy to have a direct route to you.

/ 10.9 Airpower /
-----------------
If you need to resupply or get troops into an area quickly, then airpower is
the answer. Sometimes, it takes several hours between a request for supply
and actually getting those supplies (unless you've been turned down). Airpower
is also great if you have a unit that is surrounded but can effectively tie down
the enemy as long as they are supplied. Sending paratroops into the enemy rear
can create a lot of chaos and force the enemy to use resources they may have
been building up. Also, paratroops also stand a good chance of inflicting some
serious damage to the enemy in the rear so that your main units will have an
easier time achieving their objectives. Attacking enemy units with airpower
may not produce a lot of damage or casualties, but it does dramatically
increase their fatigue level. The downside to this is that you can lose a lot
of planes in the process. This goes with any mission involving airpower; the
more you use it, the less planes you will have available for future missions.
This is due to either enemy action or the planes just can't fly anymore. Use
your airpower wisely.
______________________________________________________
/ 10.10 No good plan survives contact with the enemy /
------------------------------------------------------
This is the rule you should have in mind when making your plans to seize
objectives and tangle with enemy units. If you go too much by the plan instead
of improvising for when unexpected situations arise, you will have a good
chance at losing the battle or that specific campaign. Always expect the
unexpected and have ready another plan in case your first fails.
____________________________________________________
/ 10.11 Unconventional warfare is the best warfare /
----------------------------------------------------
Not losing troops and wasting precious resources is the name of the game. If
you can disable, destroy, or severely hamper the enemies ability to fight,
then you have won a big part of the battle. Refer to the section talking about
Special Forces to see all the bad stuff you can do. Of course, remember that
the enemy can also do the same to you.
________________________________________________________
/ 10.12 One strong unit is better then two weaker ones /
--------------------------------------------------------
This goes with point 10.4. If you have three or four understrength units, it
is best to consolidate those units into 1 or 2 filled up units. If all you
have left are a few stragglers in the leftover units, it is best to sacrifice
them so you free up some regiments. Headquarters is also apt to give you what
you ask for when you have a lower number of regiments in a division. Here is
an example of what I'm talking about:
In the second division, you have six regiments; 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26
(I'm not counting 27 and 28 since they don't participate in combat). Let's
say after a few battles you have the following battalions left in those
regiments:
21 has 300 infantry and 5 105 mm howitzers
22 has 200 infantry and 5 APC's
23 has 10 Sherman A3E8 tanks and 10 APC's
24 has 22 mechanized forces
25 has 300 infantry
26 has 10 155 mm howitzers and 200 infantry
These units on their own won't do a whole lot of damage to the enemy. However,
if you combine them, that's a different story. Remember, each regiment can
have six battalions of the same thing (infantry, armor, etc.). Also, in
each battalion, you can have up to 999 troops and 99 vehicles or artillery. So,
with that in mind, we can combine six regiments together. Combining all the
units could yield the following results:
21 now has 994 infantry, 5 105 mm howitzers, 10 155 mm howitzers, 15 APC's,
10 Sherman A3E8's, and 22 mechanized forces.
The remainder of forces went to the other regiments 22-26 with one infantryman
apiece (remember, you cannot dissolve a regiment, only battle can eliminate
one). Now, just sent regiments 22-26 on some suicide mission so you can
request more reinforcements. At the same time, regiment 21 is a lot more
formidable force then the six individual regiments.

/ 10.13 He who turns and runs away lives to fight another day /
---------------------------------------------------------------
With all the careful planning you have put into a battle, the last thing you
want to do is actually lose. Sometimes even the best plan will be laid to
waste due to heavy losses, poor recon, or just plain bad luck. If any of these
seem to be the case, it's much wiser to pull out and consolidate then to keep
slugging it out. If you are already in trouble, slugging it out will just
cause your demise to occur that much quicker.
_____________________________________________________
/ 10.14 Weather...complaining about it doesn't help /
-----------------------------------------------------
Weather can be your best friend or worst enemy depending on what plans you have
going. Bad weather can ground planes. This in turn can prevent supply drops,
bombing raids, and paratrooper landings. There's no real way to predict the
weather, just keep in mind how the campaigns run because some always seem to
have the bad weather. Weather also effects movement and how fast your troops
go into battle. Crappy weather means the troops aren't as motivated to carry
out your orders in a timely manner.
_____________________________________
/ 10.15 Adversity is my middle name /
-------------------------------------
If you choose to play the axis forces, you might be in for a rougher time.
The first, second, and last campaigns are just dealing with the allied forces.
For the others, you have other obstacles to deal with. During the Kursk
campaign, you will have to deal with Russian Partisans. You cannot attack them
but they can attack you and destroy or damage precious equipment. During the
Normandy landing, not only will you hav to deal with the French Underground,
but if you get too close to the coast, the warships will take shots at your
units. Both of these can cause some pretty crippling blows to your units.
The Battle of the Bulge also brings out more partisans to give you a "warm"
welcome. Keep these factors in mind when you are playing the axis and you can
plan accordingly.

| 11. ARMAMENTS PER CAMPAIGN IN OPERATION EUROPE |============================
+=================================================+
During the war in Europe, many new weapons came into being. Combined arms of
infantry, armor, artillery, and air power established the new doctrine of how
an army would use these new weapons. Although some countries were a little
slower at adapting to the new technological and strategic changes, eventually
many of these countries learned from their mistakes and also adapted to these
new changes. A great many weapons were "born" from the caldron of WWII. Tanks
and planes took on a whole new role and their design reflected that role. For
example, the Russian T34 line of tanks was based on an American suspension
system (Christie) and partially on German tank design. The result was a
superior tank that could duel with most of what the Germans could throw against
them...Tiger Tank included. Operation Europe reflects these changes and the
weapons available for the campaign period. Remember, just because the
armaments are available doesn't mean you will get them.
This is the key for all weapons:
Armament Name: The name of the armament.
NA (Nationality): What the nationality of the weapon is. The nationalities
are:
US: United States
GB: Great Britain
FR: France
GE: Germany
RU: Russia
IT: Italy
AP (Anti-Personnel): The higher the number, the more men that can be killed.
AT (Anti-Tank): The higher the number, the easier it is to destroy
enemy armor and more of it.
Df (Defense): The ability of a unit to defend itself. Higher number
means better defensive capabilities.
Sp (Speed): How fast a unit can move per hour. The higher the
number, the faster the movement.
GR (Gun Range): The maximum number of hexes the gun or unit can fire. The
higher the number, the longer the range.
CR (Cruising Range): How far mechanized forces can go before refuel. NOTE:
If the number 0 is here, the unit does not require fuel
to move.
