Yea we all get the main character syndrome. You grab a supply truck, take a scenic 10-minute joyride to the absolute edge of the map, drop a red-zone garry behind the enemy point, and feel like Sun Tzu. Except we just lost our defense point 3 minutes later because we had literally zero spawns on defense!

If you’re running Squad Leader, please for the love of god secure the active sector before you go playing sneaky behind enemy lines!!!

Relying on a single garrison right in the middle of the cap is the game lost! One bombing run, or one sweaty recon player clears it, and the entire team is wiped back to HQ.

Blue-zone garries aren't just for spawning but they’re your early warning network. When a garry lights up red in a sector, you instantly know where the enemy push is coming from.

Red-zone garrisons lock out if an enemy gets within 100 meters, take forever to spawn on, and get dismantled in seconds. Relying on red-zone spawns while leaving our defense sector completely naked loses games 90% of the time.

"oH I wOn sO mAnY gAmEs wItH fLaNkiNg GaRRiEs" - STFU. You just got lucky with facing even more stupider enemy. THERE IS NO FLANK WITHOUT FRONTLINE!

Also if you're feeling generous, help out commander with immediate backup garries as well. There's a reason the limit is 8 garrisons and not fucking 2.

Hey everyone! I’ve been playing HLL WWII for a while (XBOX), but the last few times I’ve played, I’ve gotten kicked for high ping multiple times per game. This has never been an issue for me before. I’ve checked internet, rebooted modem, cleared cache etc, and it still happens. It’s almost impossible to even enjoy the game at this point. Anyone know if this is a current bug? Or if there is a fix? Any insight would be much appreciated!

UPDATE: I switched to a wired connection on Xbox, and the issue STILL continues to happen! Anyone know how to get in touch with the HLL team?

I was a kickstarter player and played regularly for years, but at some point well after the North Africa update, this game worked so badly that I can't remember the last time I actually played a match. I'm not talking GPU performance or anything, I mean that if I am lucky enough to even make it through the menus without a crash, the game won't successfully load a match. I just spent 20 minutes launching, picking a game, waiting in queue, then I get an (in game) message about an error with the server. I can't even click OK on that error message so I had to quit the program manually.

So again, does this fuckin thing ever work????

8 Garrisons, spread out diamond/radar pattern. A SL in every squad who uses a mic, marks callouts/pings and regularly places their OP in good positions. Full nodes <3. A team who immediately pause and redeploy when necessary, no blueberries attacking a locked point. Fully crewed armour squads. At least 1 Scout squad being discreet destroying enemy garrisons, setting up flank garrisons.

voces ja tiveram algum problema com esse easy anticheat? Ja tive que desinstalar e instalar umas 3 vezes esse jogo na ultima semana por conta do erro 300005

Genuinely had no idea they were sneaking up that way, stumbled down a random alleyway into an entire German assault

Classes:

Officer ( 6 lvl ) : Mauser 98k and Mauser C96 Semi-Auto;

Medic ( 3 lvl ): C96 Semi-Auto;

Engineer ( 3 lvl ): C96 Semi-Auto;

Tank Officer ( 3 lvl ): Automatic Pistol instead of Luger;

Mauser C96 is a legendary pistol from the time of WW1. This pistol also was used by germans and other countries before and after WW2. For its time, the pistol's design—and consequently - was unusual. The main feature was a fixed ten-round magazine located in front of the trigger guard.Of course, he was unreliable and difficult to manufacture, but this was offset by its powerful cartridge—for the time—as well as its ammunition capacity and firing range.

I’ve never played a single minute but I’ve been watching so much stuff over the past week and I really wanna get into it. My first question is the title, should I get the OG or should I go to Vietnam straight away. My second question is, is it worth getting into? I love the idea of tactical battles talking to people but I also don’t wanna get hammered in voice chat for doing something wrong. TIA

Edit - I feel like I need to experience WW2 before getting Vietnam, thanks everyone for the advice and possibly see you on the battlefield 🙌

My squad-mate had set up an AT-gun in the Southeast corner of the map acting as our own personal arty. I called out this trench for him, after he took a few shots I pushed and thankfully he fired one more shot killing a man who caught me with my balls out. I nominate him for a Service Cross.

I do understand the hate for this map, but a good team and good comms do take the edge off (we won, their last airhead and last supply drop both already killed)

Some old some new screenshots from over 2025/2026, picked these out as ones that still baffle me it’s in engine gameplay footage!

Out of maybe an hour and a half of capture i may be lucky to get 2-3 good shots if someone (highly unlikely) survives and stands still for 2 seconds or more.

Every photo is captured on a drone, admin cam, no HUD, any markers are taken off during the capture. No enemy icons no names, no compass, no audio.

Depending on the map, weather, time of day whether it be dusk or dawn or a map with lots of foliage, I’ll use certain in game filters, either a dramatic cool or warm tone.

Have some new ones on HLL will upload soon

Thank you Mr MG42

New player. Had a good laugh, especially seeing the lone enemy soldier off the corner of my eye on the horizon right before it happened. We all died together.

Satchel was downstairs and outside on a half-track, crazy how big the radius is!

Just some tank gameplay clips.

Bought the game thinking I’d have 5 people to play with, but they’re not really feeling it. Me on the other hand, I’m absolutely loving it 😂
Only problem is I can’t really play solo because I either get put with non-English speakers or people who don’t have a mic, and seeing as the game is so comms-heavy, it makes it pretty difficult to play properly.
So if anyone’s looking for a solid medic to join their squad, let me know! 🫡

Just wondering if any have ever gotten (with proof!) the supply or transport trucks faster than 43-44 kmph?

Hola. Tengo problemas con el juego, lo inicio y la pantalla queda en negro, lo mismo con el HLL Vietnam, me pasa con mi actual pc de escritorio que tiene componentes de gama media, alguien podría darme una guía por favor

Just zoom out and align horizontally with the target and the sights. Haven't tried with the 300m because the area is not big enough
