<r> Not much to do with WITP but I was beta tester for this game, and I still kind of like it: <URL url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusader_Kings_%28video_game%29"><LINK_TEXT text="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusader_K ... ideo_game)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusader_Kings_(video_game ...

Think they are still hammering down the bugs.

In all fairness, the 1st turn is always the one that takes longer. After that you can probably do 15-30 minutes turns while you watch your war machine getting in gear and making minor tweaks here and there.

<r> 2 mornings and 2 evenings. And as I said above, I have never played the Allieds.<br/>
<br/>
Priorities... its a big list. Let's see if I can remember or sum it up:<br/>
<br/>
1. Supplies and resource levels<br/>
2. Industry, engines and plane building<br/>
3. transportation (lcus, supplies ...

Knowing this game, this topic isn't for the faint of hear. [:D]

I have never played the allies but a Japanese stock game usually took me about 4 hours, but with the CHS, there was so much stuff new that I took 2 days!

Not that I am complaining... [:D]

One lucky hit turned the Bismarck in a merry go round. The trouble with luck or lack of it, is that it can happen to anyone.

It did saved weight that could be used to for other stuff and she didn't had to cross the "t" to make use of all of its main guns.

I like the Richelieu design. The quadruple towers were not new, neither she was the first battleship with a couple of them. Heck, not even the first French battleship with those, but as for design, it was superb.

There is a recent Japanese movie about Yamato last action. The effects look good. here's the trailer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PcxXmfFDXG0

<r> Allied bomber losses in Europe were more impressive. <LINK link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II#cite_ref-22"><s>[link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II#cite_ref-22]</s>About 20000 lost<e>[/link]</e></LINK>, if you believe ...

Considering that there were German aces with 300s, 200s and 100s kills... that might have happened. [X(] Their squadrons should have impressive results

Think I'm ready to try my first PBEM. AE is still a long way away.

House rules... I'm open to sugestions.

Thanks! Found it!

I might be missing it, but is there any topic that has the links for all the mods floating about?

N-A-T-Es are worse.

As a Jap player I get giddy at the thought of all the Pearl ships heading out to sea where they will be chased down and destroyed. They are much safer in Pearl.<br/>

They sure were. I remember seeing on ...

<r> Never tried an Allied campaign. Always Japan, because has everyone said it, it is harder. After 1943, with the allied war machine well greased, they have little chance of winning. I think I first got interested in the economic aspect of the fight after I read this: <URL url="http://www ...

<t> The AI did provided some fun and challenge. The DEI and Philippines were steam rolled, but I did had a guadalcanal battle that almost sank zuikaku and shukaku. If they hadn't made it to Rabaul they would have been written off.&nbsp;And India was plenty of challenge, with lots of action around ...
