<t> First thing is that if you know land-based artillery is good at taking out naval vessels, don't leave your naval vessels in their range.&nbsp; It is a matter of prepping the field - in which with Two Weeks in Normandy, the Allies have several fleets, total domination of the skies with severa...

<t> Might be better to use the Amphibious Transport icon with some variety of amphibious ferry or LC's, &nbsp;adding appropriate weapons.&nbsp;&nbsp;They will be able to travel *much shorter* distances along rivers and flooded marshes.&nbsp; <br/> &nbsp;<br/> Riverines also tend ...

<t> I'm still taking notes, though proceeding along historical lines to the extent that I can.&nbsp; My debate wasn't so much for using TO's for deployment options, but of placing formations in their general area of operations vs. units in their specific historical hex -- leave it to the player ...

Thank you for your input gentlemen - will go with the historical deployment then. Until it is complete, I prefer keeping details vague as I don't want to raise hopes or interest until I'm satisfied with it. I would only say that it is large.

<t> Arguing back and forth with myself is getting nowhere - so will post here in the hopes of someone may break the stalemate...<br/> <br/> Given a large scenario depicting the historical situation at a given point in time, but offering players the opportunity for other than historical deployments -...

<t> Thanks Colin, good points. It looks worthwhile to experiment with "handicapped HQ's" for air units deserving of such - could be an interesting dynamic. <br/> <br/> Supply appears to "step down" an absolute base 25% (with variance relative to terrain, possibly weather) along roads for each multip...

<t> Okay...sorry...&nbsp;&nbsp;Continuing again with&nbsp;instances where different formations have different supply levels...&nbsp; Would there be any reason why "the best formations" should have a supply distribution proficiency&nbsp;of less than 100% (i.e. fewer support squads...

<t> Okay, thanks for the clarification, the manual makes more sense now; I was interpreting it as one influencing the other.&nbsp; Yes, I should have mentioned typically in relation to sitting on rail connected to a supply source.&nbsp; I've been looking at supply values across different map...

<t> Want to make sure I understand this fully...&nbsp; In a case where two countries are allied, part of the same force, but have different levels of supply - this can be effected through a) Formation Supply Efficiency and b) # of Supply Squads?&nbsp;&nbsp; Given<br/> &nbsp;<br/> a)&...

<t> For consideration of pros and cons - would there be any merit to utilizing Rail Transport in lieu of Sea Transport? <br/> <br/> <br/> What I see is that:<br/> 1. Sea transport does not attract Air Interdiction and Rail Transport does...<br/> 2. Rail transport used in this manner would not permit...

<t> Larry, are you saying that with enough subatomic particles it is possible to achieve concentrations of mass, and if exercised properly would evolve into concentrations of force, which in operational terms could produce a breakthrough on the tactical level leading to broad strategic gains replica...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: golden delicious<br/> <br/> These approaches have serious shortcomings. The former leaves the PO open to the one of the most popular strategems of all time: the feigned retreat. The latter could be exploited by an unscrupulous player who disbands individual units a...

<t> Just noting some ideas/thoughts for the purpose of ongoing consideration...theoretical<br/> &nbsp;<br/> With the PO (and not against a human player) the differential in loss penalties can be closely approximated relative to the loss of objectives with as few as 3 - 5 (more is better) &nb...

<t> Thank you Stevens and RhinoBones - very helpful, Strategic Bias is too important to miss and I was missing that one.&nbsp; The PO is doing considerably better on the offensive, but enabling it to provide a challenge against veteran players is my goal for the scenario I'm working on.&nbsp...

Thanks!&nbsp; That's a big time saver.&nbsp;

<t> I should've tested this earlier...ha...um... Is there a way to merge multiple .OOL files into one? <br/> <br/> Essentially, I've developed several orders of battle (different countries - as different files) but will eventually want to merge them into one file. I assumed...yes, that is a very, ve...

<t> What seems to me the single largest contributing (not the only)&nbsp;factor to Rommel's defeat in North Africa was the lack of oil to power the Italian navy on a consistent and extended basis.&nbsp; That would have been helpful&nbsp;for the escorting of merchant marine supplies to Li...
