<r> The concept of a politcal rating may have its right in other historical games. On the Eastern Front I think it doesn´t fit. Lower level commanders (divison / corps) in most cases were sacked by their army or army group commanders when they didn´t perform well. Associated costs: nil. <br ...

<t> They are relevant as the opening statement was that captured weapon systems were insignificant for a strategic level game. The Wehrmacht used captured equipment to a large extent because of the lack of own equipment and because sometimes captured equipment was better than German equipment. An ...

But that was the case for all the battles in WWII. As an example, Iwo Jima saw over 26,000 US casualties, but only 6,000 - 7,000 of those were dead. That doesn't change the fact that the Marine divisions were shot and wouldn't be ...

<t> In beginning of march 44 Germany had in it´s arsenal altogether 17589 pieces of artillery. 8337 of those were of foreign origin. 47% is definitely not "de minums". At least for the German side usage of captured equipment was essential as own production capacities were absolutely insuficcient ...

<r> A number of ships were captured by German raiders. Some of those captured ships even made it back to France or Japan.(<URL url="http://www.scharnhorst-class.dk/hilfskreuzer/hilfskreuzer_menu.html"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.scharnhorst-class.dk/hilfskr ... _menu.html">http://www.scharnhorst ...

<r> I don't have a silver bullet with that I can solve this issue. But it is an issue. I guess you are right that the Pacific theater was more about bases. But WITP has also a Burma theater and a Chinese theater. And wasn't the recapture of the Phillipines more about taking ground? These are ...

If someone states:" air combat is too bloody" this may be based just on his own opinion. But it could also be based on facts. I am curious how people come to the conclusion that "air combat is too ...

While the air model in WITP is very bloody, one cause that no amount of progaming can change is it is bloody because players always mass their air assets. No one operates with single 16 aircraft bomb groups attacking a target. (with or without ...

<r> A lot of players want stacking rules because of overstacking. For some atolls this may be true. But the main problem for 'normal' land hexes is 'understacking'. The size of a 60 miles hex is massively underestimated. Only to give you an idea you can see here the cauldron of Stalingrad. He fits ...

This is a torpedo supply in a size 0 port. Typical ´milkcow´supply operation in the Atlantic until all ´milkcows´were sunk.
