Next time my wife wants to play the "why can't you read my mind?" game I'm sitting her down in front of War in the West.

1. Rule Change (section 18.1.1) - Italy will never surrender prior to August 1943. In August 1943, the German garrison value in Italy is never divided by 4 when determining Italian surrender.<br ...

Im concerned, irritated and bemused by the ability of the Axis to evac from a pocket I (probably erroneously) believe I created.

See? Fixed for you. Magic AI.

To my knowledge there is no law in the UK that prevents companies like this setting up. The problem is to watch UK TV you need TV license. If you use this company to view UK TV you are breaking UK law if you do not have this license. Anyway if there ...

<r> I suggest you search "Is it illegal to watch BBC video using VPN?" The results aren't a bunch of piratical sites, nor do you have to be on Tor to do it.<br/>

For example:<br/>

Get a VPN (something like TunnelBear), connect to the VPN in the UK, then the BBC thinks you're in the UK.

Do the existing weather graphics work with this map?

Yes, and they still look bad.

This is an epic piece of work. [&o]

Can we please chill out on WitE. And just give good reason for getting this game. Because all this trashing of WitE is actually turning me off from getting DC OP BLAU.

redmarkus' badmouthing WitE ...

My wallet is jumping. When can throw money Matrix's way for this?

Grigsby is working on a War in the West variant of War in the East. The air war part of WitE is sadly sub-par. It'll be interesting to see what he comes up with, but I'm afraid the naval warfare part will be the sub-par element there.

<t> Clay Blair's "Hitler's U-Boat War" shows how the u-boat war was a tonnage war where the Germans were losing ground right from the beginning. They never got close to winning. Sure they sank "X Tons" but even at the peak of losses the Allies' production was outstripping losses by a good margin ...

<t> You're talking about a much longer game, but completely lost by Axis by middle of 1943.<br/>

In the Atlantic it's all about the convoys. According to Clay Blair's "Hitler's U-Boat War", it was hopeless for the Germans from the start. Yeah, you shove your convoys across the Atlantic and ...

But I can say that many of you will be happy with the changes coming in WitW because they are fundamental changes in underlying systems and game mechanics.

Backport? Please?
