Appreciate the answer. I guess that's one way of making a '42 Barb happen I'll take it.

<t> It doesn't seem doable vs the AI which is a shame. Unlike any other game I've played in that regards. Should allow the Axis the strategic flexibility of trying a longer Sealion or taking Turkey/Iran first to open up different gameplay options. Allows SU time to prep for it as well so it's not ...

Never quite understood why operating an air unit is so expensive. They should have at least a rebase option (similar to naval cruise) available that is free.

<t> Playing against the AI I wanted to explore the viability of a '42 attack on Russia but Russian mobilization always seems to move to fast leading to them being 100% in October '41ish? I moved all my units, (except 4) 10 hexes away from Warsaw and spent 3 chits of diplo to try and slow the Russian ...

Of the dozen or so WiF games I've played (all Global War) I've only seen Sealion even attempted once and it failed. If the UK player is paying attention it's a very difficult thing to pull off.

I believe that's what the 'standing orders' functionality will be for.

<t> Thanks Shannon for the answer.<br/>
The irony of MWIF is that through its exactness it makes PBEM actually slower than playing say through Cyberboard...though with less errors.<br/>
<br/>
I like the idea of being able to switch between netplay and PBEM....I guess I would like it all be ...

<t> I'm just wondering if Netplay will allow async play? ie a player is able to make a move without the other player being logged on? I'm thinking with the Matrix dedicated server, it could maybe store the Gamelog until the next player logs on, syncs up his game, does his phase and then shoots out ...

PBEM is also your friend. Cyberboard and Vassal.

Like you I had played 1 game in 20 years until 2 years ago I discovered PBEM. (Personally I use cyberboard but Vassal is also good). Since then I've been involved in a dozen games (even finished 1!), met a lot of cool people and become a much better WiF player (though I still make ...

<r> Can't say I'm fond of the argument that 'the US has lots of BPs so lets buy STRs'.<br/>

Yes the US DOES have a lot of BP, they also will have a two front war to fight and two allies to potentially prop up with LL. <br/>
Secondly as the CW is in a lot of trouble and Germany isn't ...

dear god why is the tension number so high? How bad have been your rolls?
And the Strat Bomber option? urrgh, not a good choice imho. Especially considering how bad your tension is already.

I wouldn't try and force a Barb '41. Take your time, have 2 o-chits on hand and attack in MJ42.

Maxwell Taylor of the 101st Airborne makes the remark. I saw it quoted in Ambrose's 'D-Day' though I'm not sure if that was the original source.<br/>
While Ambrose can tend to be a bit light on in-depth analysis and have a strong American bias his work on D ...
