Populated overpopulation

KarlHenz posted in Playskewls: " People often quote the Allies as having a greater overpopulation. Now as an Axis I have to admit this is not true the Axis do have a greater amount of time. However a vast amount of this time is dead time. What do I mean by this well if you check the stats on towns taken it only happens during the peak hours of high population. After around 6.00 AM GTM the map goes dead the only caps you will see are softcaps or if you are luckly the odd dock in kamperland. Until around 4-5 pm when we start to hit the European peak. This time is quite interesting it swings between allied and axis over population until around 8pm in the evening this is when the Axis kicks into full gear. They tend to have overpopulation until 12pm when it balances out until around 1pm when the population kicks into really high gear with the USA players. Their over population carries on till around 4-5 am before tailing off."

Oberst halts enemy advance

Oberst Pablin, Das Heer left the Launois Armybase at 19:39 january 7th 2009. During the mission that lasted 42 minute, the Oberst and his panzercrew managed to kill and destroy 29 enemy targets at the grim cost of his Pz VIe Tiger.

Maj Huskerne, BEF was on the recieving end and reported on the mayhem in a captured dispatch to AHC: " This was a great mission. It involved great thinking from our OIC at the time and then great driving/flanking skill to get behind you. Then it was an easy sap considering you were a Tiger Commander and thought no one could kill you so far away from the FB you were camping like a little girl. Great number of kills though. I am pretty happy with my 1 kill (YOU) since it took some skill and ruined you weak weenie fun.Thank you for at least NOT ALT-F4'ing like the majority of your commanders do. I give you partial credit for that.S! see you at the next camping........."

Thread in Axis Discussions

Wake em'up call

(November 18th - Nachrichten Blitz)
(OKA) It appears that Drakhl a retired High Commander, known for beeing very active in his timezone, posted threads in the Axis open forum which have been moved to the Axis secured forum, governed by the OKA. Not many Axis players enjoy access to he secured forum and the same goes for the Allies. Those who plays all sides are not allowed access to the any secured sections so these threads are moved and not openly discussed, and they revolv around the OKA High Command. It is very rare that threads and/or posts are deleted in the Axis open forum and they appear so when they are moved.

Drakhl, 1st Fallschirmjager Regiment: " I've made several posts now that have either been closed or moved to other forums about the problems in GHC. I have been informed via PM by some high ranking OKW that any more posts I make in axis discussions will be deleted or locked, because my "attitude creates bad morale".

Well guess what GHC.. you work for the players. You are not enhancing their gameplay by repeating the same mistakes over and over. You are not enhancing their gameplay by ignoring and crushing any dissenting opinions.
We have had three separate incidents of brigades being trapped and routed in the opening two weeks of this campaign?
We have had the CinC and staff suspending HC members, and many leaving because of new policies instated by them.

I know we have had hard times, I was in HC during them and did my best to pick up the pieces. But you're entirely out of excuses now. "We're still learning" and "we just dont have the people" aren't going to fly. You have multiple retired HC and the playerbase to draw on for advice even in the wee hours of the morning. You have squads ready to fight for you if you would just give them something in return. You have more people leaving than new people joining because you refuse to look for the cause and only address the symptoms.

Consider this a wake up call, because you are losing axis players daily. Despite all the crap I take, I am still playing axis because I believe in the cause. Now convince the players that you still do."
