RE: When?

<r> Hey Dudes. <br/>
Some of you might remember my user name. My real name's Tim, and I'm a keen WiFFE enthusiast who plays the game almost daily and who's attended both AusWiFCons, 2010 qnd 2011. I was part of an Allied Team that claimed a draw against skilled European opposition in 2010, and part ...

RE: 'Tanks in Flames'

<t> Thanks for repeating yourself Steve [8|] !<br/>
<br/>
Yes, I am indeed preoccupied with colors and unit characteristics rather than rules. I'm looking, simply, for anyone else that might be. Perhaps this is the wrong place to discuss this project though, as it has nothing to do with the ...

RE: 'Tanks in Flames'

<t> Thanks for that reply, brian. Certainly some interesting points there. I must confess to being a little confused though: you start out by describing such a proposition as being part of a 'slippery slope' and yet you draw the conclusion that there are 'avenues that could be explored' which ...

'Tanks in Flames'

<t> It's been a few years since I last contributed to this forum, but I've followed Shannon's updates with interest non the less.

RE: Norway

<r> <br/>
Now <I><s>[i]</s>that's<e>[/i]</e></I> interesting to consider. A successful CW invasion (or DoD alignment) of Norway. Would such a thing be necessary though? In WiFFE, doesn't Germany lose all the swedish iron ore resources even if the Allies occupy nothing of Norway but the Narvik hex ...

Norway

<t> It's been a couple of years since I last put a msg on this forum, but I've been playing WiF almost continously, and can't wait to see this game on computer: no more angst about their being insufficient players (woo-hoo!).<br/>

RE: MWiF Map Review - America

I think the white hexes look grouse (excellent), much more aesthetically appropriate for the arctic .. in what way do the rules for them differ from those for swamps?

RE: MWiF Map Review - Australia & New Zealand

<r> WiFFE has desert-mountain hexes, which - despite me never having actually been in such places myself, is obviously a realistic idea. Where I <I><s>[i]</s>have<e>[/i]</e></I> been, however, like many of you I imagine, is in 'forest-mountains', and I always felt that their absence on the hex maps ...

RE: Political Entities in WiF FE (hence in MWiF)

<t> In the same vein, Formosa should ideally be represented as chinese territory conquered by Japan, which therefore automatically reverts to Chinese control when Japan is conquered/surrenders. Quite how this can be reflected in&nbsp;MWiF I don't know, unless Formosa's hexes are coloured&nbsp;with ...
