RE: 'stuffing' the border

<r> In both cases (I'm in two games and wind up playing maybe twice a month) the German player has opted to activate Rumania and use their forces to siege Sofia. Again in both cases they attacked France and this is where the difference start.<br/>
<br/>
In one game France fell in JAN/FEB '40. In ...

RE: 'stuffing' the border

<r> Something I'm seeing in the two games I'm playing currently is the German player allowing the claim, denying Hungary's and Bulgaria's claims and then DOWing Bulgaria right off the bat.<br/>
<br/>
I'm interested to see how this plays out...<br/>

RE: 'stuffing' the border

<t> I think I'm an OK player. I've played Russian a couple of times and every day of the week I'd prefer to defend against a '41 Barb then a '42 where there's been a well executed Close the MED strategy and BOA. It's even worse if its combined with solid Japanese play.<br/>

The reason is ...

RE: The RaW 7 Aug 04 and Scenario RTF

<t> If anyone's interest some kind (yet zealous) soul from the WIF List formatted the RAW-7-AUG04 just as they appear in the rule book that comes with the game. They even made sure the page numbers match and the diagrams are correct. If you provide an FTP site I'd be happy to upload it, or you can ...

RE: The germans

You should post this on the wif list (the Yahoo wifdiscussion group) you're likely to get a lot of groans. It's been debated once or twice over there.

RE: Vive LOC Vichy?

If I recall correctly LOC Vichy was originally published in the WIF Annual as an optional rule. It never made it into RAW though. Does anyone know the origins of WIFCON gas?

RE: Maps for MWIF

<t> The maps are beautiful. I agree that there should be more contrast between the forest and the swamp. I also think this is true for the contrast between clear and forest and clear and swamp. Would a darker green forest and darker blue swamps help with this? Have you had any feedback from folks ...

RE: MWiF Leaders - Rommel

<t> I recently read Gilbert's history of WWII and there's some interesting information about Rommel's defeat at El Alamein. Apparently, the Allies had already cracked the German codes and had accurate information about his plan of attack. It sounds like Montgomery knew where he was going to attack ...

RE: Game Interface - Place Units On Map

Is there an interface before the setup form that let's you choose options for the game. (I apologize if I missed this somewhere.) It seems that you'll have to do a little coding. I haven't seen how CWIF handles this if you're doing it the same way.
