RE: Things you WISHED you knew in your first game...

<r> I wish I'd paid more attention to what the battle estimates actually mean. As a long-time wargamer I would line up some "4:1" attacks because that seemed like pretty good odds in my favor. But I was having bad luck, kept taking heavy losses. Until I realized that it wasn't showing an odds ratio ...

Recommend a strategic naval wargame?

<r> I'm looking for recommendations for a turn-based strategic (or possibly operational) naval wargame. I'm particularly interested in WWII Pacific theater (currently reading <I><s>[i]</s>The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1936-1945<e>[/i]</e></I>), although not ruling out ...

small random game?

Want to play a random game against a human? I prefer relatively small games, with turnaround times of about a turn per day (or more when possible).

RE: AT Platinum - Suggestions

<t> Could the AI could be exposed to modding via either an embedded script interpreter or API that external programs/plugins could use? <br/>

In theory, modders could then add a variety of opponents with different styles, abilities, and limitations. (No way to know how many would do so, or ...

Agreed to mirrorish and declaring war before turn 6. I've started a game and you should receive it soon. :)

RE: HARPOON CLASSIC OR HARPOON 3?

<t> I used to like H2 the best. HC seemed simplistic and lacking in control; couldn't even zoom in close enough to see what was going on, couldn't figure out how to set up areas or drop sonobuoys, or control units independently of their groups.<br/>

RE: How to speed up turn times ?

27.85 seconds here.

It's always been quick for me, but I wouldn't mind letting the AI take awhile. It'll still be faster than I am, and faster than waiting for a PBeM response.
