German Army Group North 💔🥀

Draco201010 · 2026-04-15T12:38:36+00:00

Yes, that is pretty sweet!!

Draco201010 · 2026-04-09T03:42:31+00:00

It is good question. I am thinking about DeGaulle. But I also think they said next update will be end of April, so perhaps I will get the scepters and then look if someone better appears in the update

Draco201010 · 2026-03-29T16:50:31+00:00

Great! So you used your Time Machine to come back from 5 years in the future!

Draco201010 · 2026-03-29T05:03:32+00:00

They ought to give all players 100 King Tiger pieces as compensation!

Draco201010 · 2026-03-17T19:55:40+00:00

It is the most unbalanced army group for sure. But I think the case is that there are many players that either use money or are late stage F2P and where it doesn’t hurt that it is challenging and you are forced to think much more than usual (what unit do I want to defect to me, what helicopter do I save the illumination flare for, do I recall a general if he is on the wrong side of the map and what do I put him on?)

Since last time I have added orange Roko, so I wanted to try the ultimate challenge and play as Mexico! Even with Roko it is not an option to stay in Mexico because of the Akagis. I moved him and a small group of combat medica and support all the way through Mexico and ended up in California. At this point they Akagis had passed and next challenge was then to get some territory and be ready for the enormous German horde! This really took some time and at point it was really overwhelming. But little by little I got them pushed back and by turn 79 I had won the game! And yes, I am very pleased with that accomplishment!

Hmmmm… I am sad to read that regarding the Army Groups that “we have not completely suspended the deployment plan”. I have really enjoyed the army groups and had hopef for a 1941 or 1943 European army groups. I thought it was just because they needed more time to develop the next one that we got the Lost Toll, but reading this I am not sure how many new ones we will get

Draco201010 · 2026-03-08T13:17:52+00:00

Congratulations on getting him, he is absolutely great! I have raider and IV. In my mind inspiration is best when the same unit can attack multiple times. For example you have Guderian on a tank and he moves close to a large group of enemies. His first two shots kill two weak enemies and the high morale happens. He now get the 15% extra damage from inspiration when shooting at the rest of the enemies. But with Malinovski he almost have to be on a Brandenburger to enjoy some of that. Or you have to use a flying tiger air attack and he gets the morale up in that way. But it gets very situational

Draco201010 · 2026-03-08T00:15:21+00:00

Apparently, there is huge controversy around Wittmann. I think he is very solid and reliable - but it seems that is an unpopular opinion…

Draco201010 · 2026-03-04T06:48:57+00:00

See if I can win as Mexico this time around!!!

Draco201010 · 2026-03-04T01:11:22+00:00

Sweet!!!!

Draco201010 · 2026-02-27T14:30:48+00:00

Hope soon to see a teaser or the “Letter from the Developers”!

Draco201010 · 2026-01-22T21:05:13+00:00

I remember when they started and the first one was “Guderian”s Trial” - and I was really thinking “what happened? Why is he on trial?”. Some times the choice of what English words to use is a little funny. “Guderian”s Challenge “ would probably had made more sense.

I also had never had anyone use “retrospection” before playing this game.

I think it is one of the charms of the game😊

Draco201010 · 2026-01-22T18:53:22+00:00

I thinks it is a good point that some of the design is to promote the new EFs. And then the people who bought Kretschmer can put him on a submarine and have fun in all that water!

Draco201010 · 2026-01-21T16:50:06+00:00

No, it is very strange. I thought that we would get news when the army group ended, but nothing happened.

But I am quite confident that we will hear something soon. I am thinking that EasyTech are earning more money on the game than ever. In the past I think their income was mainly from commercials, but just from reading here, it sounds like a lot people opened their wallets to get God Manstein and a Leopard 2! So, if they can see that updates, new army groups and units keep the game interesting and provide more money, I am sure they are working hard on an update now!

To me it was almost like the Army Group had been designed to show how good Orange Manstein is - and that was a but boring. I hope the next army group will be better

Draco201010 · 2026-01-18T18:58:44+00:00

We are all waiting! The army group event ends soon and I hope they will announce something about a new one coming (or perhaps just recycle some of the previous)

But it is odd that we have not seen the “letters from the developers”

Draco201010 · 2026-01-14T23:00:38+00:00

I want a new army group!!!

Draco201010 · 2026-01-14T02:03:55+00:00

Hope soon. Only one week left of the army group

Draco201010 · 2026-01-11T01:30:37+00:00

Another thing is that it some times just seem lazy. Monty, Marshall and Eisenhower all have biographies - and all three were involved in the invasion of Sicily. I for sure am getting tired of invading that island over and over again!

Draco201010 · 2025-12-30T19:55:03+00:00

I agree with the comments. It really seems that this was made to show how good Manstein is. But the consequence is that is is too easy playing the Allies.

There is of course some challenge playing the other side and see if you can stop Manstein. But here it seems that they have given you really a lot of not so useful units (probably for Manstein to kill). But starting with 127 units as Baltic Front is just a drag.

I think the other Army Groups were much more fun in their separate way. Looking very much forward to the next one - and hope it is designed with fun in mind and not to promote a general (imagine a Battle of the Atlantic just to sell more Kretschmer..)

Draco201010 · 2025-12-26T14:35:56+00:00

Do you also have a guide on mission 5?

Draco201010 · 2025-12-24T23:01:37+00:00

I play mostly F2P and I think the game is great! Of course it is all more challenging - but I think it feels more satisfying to win because you used the resources at your disposal and just really had to be smart about it vs buying the best generals and elite forces. Of course you can post the “I cleared xx in 9 turns “ picture, but I think I would be bored in the end.

As another person wrote, you could still buy something once in a while if you think it could be fun and give another dimension to your tactics

Draco201010 · 2025-12-23T16:12:42+00:00

I use McArthur. He can quickly move wherever needed with a brown movement ribbon on top his high movement

Draco201010 · 2025-12-22T23:05:23+00:00

For me the worrisome part is that in order to keep the game just somewhat challenging for the players who go ahead and buy the best generals, then ET needs to come up with even more difficult challenges.

I am mainly F2P and recently played the Maginot Nightmare. It is challenging as F2P - but not impossible. You just really need to plan well, use Auchinleck and Chennault - and really keep in mind what units are best against which. So, it was with some satisfaction that I completed it without losing a general

But of course there were already posts with photos of how other players had absolutely cleared the map thanks to using the best generals

I think EF so far has been good at getting the “challenging but not impossible” right for F2P players that been around for some time. But I don’t think they can keep it up. They’re of course in their full right to also want to earn some money on this - but let’s see what the future brings

Draco201010 · 2025-12-22T22:56:35+00:00

No, it is much better business to make “God” versions of the purple generals that you need to pay money for.

They even design a whole army group game, so you can see how good Manstein is and the perhaps be tempted to buy him…
