<t> I am a fan of Matrix and Paradox titles, both, but the HOI3 release was awful.<br/>
<br/>
For example, you have Fascist Japan devoting 95% of it's entire Industrial Output to Consumer Goods that makes it impossible to do more than build an infantry division at a time. This is with every policy ...

It's funny how conspiracy theories sell. Here's an idea: let's stop thinking that all government things/bureaucrats are evil and may be admit that humans can be stupid and make dumb mistakes without the help of any anybody but also could fix ...

<t> The whole "3" series based on the EU3 engine (Rome, EU3, and now HOI3) really are kind of mediocre.<br/>
<br/>
Paradox bent way backward to the "fantasists" and took out most of the historical scripts. I thought the old sliders were a great way to fine tune your nation. With 6 sliders you ...

<t> I have had some strange things happen at Baker, and only Baker. I had a PT Boat squadron there, I was unable to split them into two, and when I disbanded the squadron, there was no Anchor on the main map to show ships anchored there. However, when I clicked on the Flag Icon and went into the ...

This just happened in my game too. It's not such a big deal when they sneak an AP over to Fanafuti with a raiding force, but when they attack Koumac with no escorts when I've got quite a few cruisers and destroyers off Noumea...

<r> You know I've played this game for 30-40 hours and I'm only at Dec 20th? [:D]<br/>
<br/>
I took the wife out for dinner last night so I could play all night till 3AM today. [;)]<br/>
<br/>
I think I mentioned this in another thread under the main forum, but the day before this amazing series ...

<t> Doesn't the Houston or one of the other two light cruisers I used have some kind of radar? I kind of doubt the PBs/PCs/AKs I encountered at Madang had a radar set.<br/>
<br/>
I did send the SCTF to Madang, it wasn't a reaction, and Madang does have a rudimentary port which is on a map. So when ...

<r> Man, I had two crusier/destroyer task forces in the eastern PNG area and a task force in the Sulu Sea lead by Prince of Wales. PoW encountered Kongo on the way to attack Jolo where a large IJN invasion force was gathering. <br/>
<br/>
Also completely smashed were several invasion forces near ...

<t> Just wondering if I am doing this right.<br/>
<br/>
I have 4 DDs in Pearl on "React 6". Does that mean they will leave Pearl to persecute Sub Contacts discovered by Catalinas within 6 hexes of Pearl, or do I actually have to assign them a patrol zone to get them to go after nearby subs?<br ...

<t> Around the middle of December on my Grand Campaign game.<br/>
<br/>
The AI is a crafty son-umma in AE! <br/>
<br/>
I like how he loiters off Oahu just to see if anybody is going back to the West Coast for a day or two after 12/7.<br/>
<br/>
There are tons of Subs to the North and East of ...

I was shocked when I saw my Subs leaving Manilla bump into that minefield at Bataan... I love the tougher AI!

Oops, I should have read all the posts first... see what a good idea mowing lawns are?! [8D]

I second Charbroiled's AA/ASW point and definitely Cuttlefish's observation about the back button... extra convenient.

I only played one day in the grand campaign, but the AI is much tougher and smarter this time around!

<r> I don't know where your going to find a job most places, given that KMart is full of adults trying to get even 15 hours a week to pay their bills. You should see if there is a lawnmower you can borrow and go around offering to cut lawns for $15-20. I'd start by asking your friend's parents, that ...

Fantastic! WiTP was great, this will be even better.

Much thanks to the AE team for their hard work and Matrix for being the Great Grandmaster of Customer Satisfaction.
