RE: MWiF Map Review - America

Thanks for taking off the rail.

As to the ferries, I think he means that the invader would need to bring his own boat and could not use the enemy's boats.

<r> If you are making easy changes, you should delete the rail connection from Norflok to the Delmarva peninsula to the NE.<br/> The crossing arrow is there in 1940, but no bridge until post war.<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesapeake_Bay_Bridge-Tunnel"><LINK_TEXT text="http://...

RE: When?

In the next month's progress report, due soon, I hope the designer can give us an estimated ready date. That would, if met, greatly enhance my morale!!

RE: On the mnp scale and game balance

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: paulderynck<br/> <br/> I agree. Even with more than 10 convoys in the North Atlantic, the chances of the subs finding with 7 or more surprise against a CV with a 4-range aircraft onboard are 16.8%. It will take a lot of subs or a lot more surprise to get an X resul...

RE: 'stuffing' the border

<t> I agree that the USSR can stuff. However, you should agree that the allies will not resign if the USSR tries to stuff, fails, and finds all its units flipped at the border and destroyed.<br/> <br/> Other ways to fight the stuff:<br/> 1) play with Politics in Flames units.

Batavia is closer to Delhi or Canberra, I think. If you have chosen to trace only to London, that is fine but you will need to recount the levels necessary for victory.

RE: MWIF Game Interface Design

Would it be possible to list the objectives alphbetically or by map?

Also, designer needs to be aware that for neutral objectives, the closest (unconquered) major power capital gets control. India's capital is closer to, I think, Aden, Riyahd, Teheran, and perhaps Bagdhad.

RE: AI for MWiF - Japan

ORIGINAL: Extraneous

(PiF) The Persian Royal Cavalry unit upgrades in 1940 from a 3 - 4 to a 4 - 4.

Are you sure about this? I did not think there were upgrades or heavy units in MWIF1.

RE: AI for MWiF - Japan

How about starting a para corps or para div on the first turn with the intent to drop in on the port hex at the rail head. This could be done on turn 5, or M/J 1940. This would prevent Japan from frsikiness, even if it was prepared unless it is ready to DOW the USSR.
