I've completed 1939 with Bulgarian Army Group and then, with Italian Army Group West. Basically, all what you have to do to win is to recruit as much units as you can, and never attack if your opponent has more units. I think that the biggest problem is that you cannot move your troops in an area controlled by allies, which means that you can get stuck. Same goes for your allies! I've noticed that Hungarian and Slovak Army Groups usually get stuck in the east of the map and cannot move their troops to the west to help you fight France or Britain. I got stuck these days too. Playing as Italy, for some reason the germans couldn’t capture Copenhagen and swarmed the seas with units so I couldn’t get there to do the job. |

I hope easytech adds a army group mode featuring the entire world so maybe cold war?
Maybe alien? Who knows

Or maybe something more small scale like an army group mode featuring just a single city like the battle of berlin. 1 hex can be 1 city block and it will be all of the allied besieging berlin.or maybe even the battle of stalingrad

I absolutely loved the game until i tried the army group game mode and these particular mechanics are very poorly done imo,I almost uninstalled because of this but I decided I will just enjoy the rest of the game until hopefully Easytech patches and makes some changes to it.

It the alien part, but the problem is that you would be going away from the First two games, the ones that made the franchise what it is. Sorry for my not so good grammar lol. |

You can actually take neutral territory without declaring war. I used a unit with paratroop ability in an airport and was able to take neutral territory. I did this with Denmark and took a Swedish city with no units. Downside is if the territory doesn’t have an airport, your unit is trapped permanently unless you declare war on the neutral territory

I actually agree with the OP. EW5's Conquest (likely the inspiration for Army Group's main functionality) allows for players to fight in defensive battles.
Terrain actually matters heavily in this game mode as well. We have to watch out for borders that are easy to attack or defend.
Holding the big cities alone may not be enough to secure a win.

The worst part is the fact that we cannot control our troop during enemy's turn which may cause some of our generals to get wiped out.
Hope this is not intended and will be changed.

You actually can control them. But you have watch every AI do their turns and when they attack you, you get an option to control your units. |

I do realize that possibility but I do not think I have enough patience.  And it is because I see that the game allow you to control if you do not fast forward AI turn, so I think it might not be intended. Anyway, just my curiosity, do other players actually not fast forward AI turn? |

I would like for easytech to add a toggle feature to activate the option to give us the option to control our defending force so when we just want to get it over with you can turn it of and skip the turn I believe I sent it to them in their questionaire, I believe a large majority of easytech players skip enemy turns as it just skips so much time |

You can probably skip after all enemies that border you finish.

But I guess I'm stuck watching the ai make terrible decisions until easytech releases an update to allow us to defend when fast forwarding. |

If you want your suggestion to be heard by easytech then I recommend taking the questionaire that easytech has about gog3 it is located in the home button below notice. |

I personally like army group mode until you’ve obliterated the front you’re responsible for. Getting to an enemy on the other side is waaaay too clunky and your ally AI is totally inept and there’s not too much you can do since donations are basically worthless from what I can tell. 1941 seems to flow way better than 1939 since it’s mostly a 1 front war and whether or not Yugoslavia survives depends mostly on how well you can pressure USSR, plus there doesn’t seem to be any sort of stupidity like Germany never ever taking Copenhagen.
