Re: 7.00.01 Stacking Chinese Communists and Nationalist allowed bug

No, this is a regression bug that has been there for a while.
Unfortunately, MWiF does not allow temporary overstacking to switch units, which is sometimes very annoying.

Re: Cool or unusual WiF things

I was on the Allied side when we had a poor US player. Japan captured Pearl on the invasion turn, capturing the Wasp. The game did not get much further.

Re: Convoy Routing Tips

I have gotten convoys from Australia to the UK going eastward. At the time I did this, there were no westward routes from Australia, so I have not seen what happens when there are both eastward and westward routes, but if there are only eastward routes, they work.

And some of the CPs used were US ...

Actually, the quote is NOT by Einstein; that is a misattribution. The original quote seems to be from a Knoxville Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in 1981.

Re: A Layman's Guide to Successfully Editing the MWiF Game File.

It is a very bad idea to delete units from MWiF once they have been created. MWiF itself does not do this. Instead, it moves units to the "Removed" pool. Do an edit to move the unit in pools. Find the unit, there will be a line with a bunch of zeros and a -1. Change that -1 to a zero, and change the ...

Re: GW Counterfactual Take 3.

Ethiopia should have gone Allied in the conquest phase, after the Italian land and air units were removed from the game.

If it did not (and I have had trouble with this in the past), try declaring war on it with an Axis power next turn.

If you are using Option 47 ((Isolated reorganization) you may ...

Re: GW Counterfactual Take 3.


It helps to actual read the rules. I see that the surrender and transfer of Italian naval units on board, in production and repair pools was handled correctly.

Read the rules? I thought there was a rule against that somewhere. :)

I guess the issue is with Trieste and Pola and the rebase of ...

Yes, the files should have a GAM extension. However, Windows often does not show the extension. Check it by right-clicking and checking "Properties".

Re: GW Counterfactual Take 3.



Ethiopia is not aligned to Italy, but conquered by it. You do not need to conquer Ethiopia to knock Italy out of the war. Indeed, the Allies can't conquer Ethiopia, they liberate it.
If Albania, Italian Somaliland, Eritrea and Libya have been conquered by the Allies, get all the Italian units ...

Re: Supply question

One other change that could be made: When one moves an HQ, MWiF checks supply twice, once when you pick the HQ up, and once when you put it down. I do not understand why the first check is necessary; I can't see how the supply status of any unit while the HQ is in midair can affect anything.

Why does your cntl-Q screen say "Dry Dock" at one point when every place else it says the normal "Repair Pool"? (Right after you show the destroyed pool.)

Re: Supply question

Ii am reasonably sure there is a limit to the supply length for isolated reorganization, but that it is lot bigger than 10 hexes. What it is I don't know, but I remember it exists. If it were only 10 hexes, German units around Moscow would be isolated.

Re: Saved game not opening

I have experienced that. I have never gotten a saved game that has happened to to work. I just assume that the file got corrupted somehow, use a previous saved game, and go on. It has not happened to me very often.
