On this issue, I believe that most people forget that the USA enter war because Japan and Germany declare war to the US. The chit system is to represent the unknown : what if Japan and Germany never declare war on the US? It is likely that ...

<t> After last battle at 00.00 hours going into 21st the game freezes when I press "continue", has happened twice now when I reach this point. (Next thing should be the movie for the 21st I think.)<br/>
<br/>
Playing official version, not betapatch.<br/>

Saved game included (packed with 7z ...

It ended at 900 hours on fifth day with complete Allied control of the map.

I think loss results were similar to Rifts campaign, 20 enemy "armor" killed but that included quite a few halftracks and armored scouts.

<t> Well, I can´t combine the opponent´s battlegroups, can I?<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, I played on Line, and I can´t say that the pressure on the supply line was that great either. As I said, 2 Panthers and 1 Jagdpanzer at Helmand, once I destroyed those no more German attacks on that side. Some weak ...

<t> Right, just finished the GC campaign as Allies on beginning of 5th day. Both sides as Line. I was a little surprised at how little armor I encountered in the campaign - in Helmond or Germert I met one force of 2 Panthers and 1 Jagdpanzer, to the north in Verb (58 on strat map) I met a StuG 42 ...

<t> Ayuthia, or Ayutthaya, was the name of a kingdom that once occupied parts of Thailand, I think that "Sri Ayutthaya" was part of the capital´s name. <br/>
<br/>
Dhonburi was the capital of Thailand after Ayutthaya and before Bangkok became capital.<br/>
<br/>
So, former capital cities seem to ...

The point is not that they are important or not, is that we are used to them now. It will be headhache to reach an agreement on which rule to drop and not. The group that did not get there favorite ...

Now that IS bad

Still, shouldn´t have been too many cases of troublesome passengers.
"Passengers away!"

<t> Paul, relax. I was offering my point of view, which I believe I have as much a right to as anyone, no need for the aggressive tone.<br/>
<br/>
Not that I see that it matters to you, but since I resent the implication I can point out that I do own the board game with all the extra kits, when I ...

It already knocks the socks off Vassal without an AI. I have not seen the version of Vassal with an AI.<br/>

Patience is aptly named, but his analysis does not take into acount the cost of money. At average inflation rates the ...

<t> Personally, I don´t feel the old system was not so much "suspense" as "source of silliness". If you were nearing the bottom of your force pool, you would still know what those last two MECHs you build in the same turn have as values. But, building the same at beginning of the year, then not ...

<t> I´d have to agree with Borsook. I´ve seen lots of partisans in Poland (both western and eastern) and also around Lviv, Hrodna and Vilna but I guess they are also original Polish territories? But, up until late´43 not a single one anywhere else, and Poland is far more heavily garrisoned than the ...

This is a facinating discussion to me. I play Russia. I am learning dso i set Russia up at the easiest setting. Germany attacks in 1940 and Russian Procuction keeps falling until it virtually disappears. This is <B><s>[b]</s>before <e>[/b ...

Japan won´t achieve anything if it only aligns Persia and sends peacekeepers, since those will teleport out of there after conquest.

DOWing Russia will allow them to stay after Persia is conquered.

<r> Right. So, I loaded up for an amphibious invasion instead, only to notice Gibraltar is only invadable from the Atlantic side. Makes it a little hard since my supporting fleet is in the wrong sea <E>:)</E><br/>

Seems like the designers only want an attack through Spain to work, bit of a ...

<t> Ok, thanks, pocketbuilding is pretty much what I have been aiming for so far. Also, by now my Rumanians have level 2 land tech and soon Hungary as well, so the Rumanians can actually handle defense quite well by now.<br/>

On a sidenote, it seems only the USSR gets the huge production ...

Spain was neutral, but the Rock was actually empty of troops thanks to my airforce carpet-bombing it. (Is it impossible to para onto a unit, btw?)

<t> Situation: Ge had taken Vichy so was in control of Algeria and Morocco. I put a few paras in Morocco and started intense bombing of Gibraltar and was then ready to drop my paras but Gibraltar was not a viable target. It wasn´t a question of supply or range, I had enough supply and there were ...

<t> Ok, so how do you do it then? (I started in 1940 btw, or rather Russia started it in 1940, wasting the surprise for me in fall weather, maybe a surprise period in good weather would have let me cause more initial damage.)<br/>
<br/>
More to the point, does Russia seem to be short of resources ...

<t> What history book would that be? I don´t recall Germany taking Leningrad, Moscow, Baku and Stalingrad and still being faced with an ever-growing Russia. Even if they railed out their industries it feels a bit odd that in-game losing the European part of Russia and it´s oil has no affect ...
