<t> the problem is that the override option is being overruled by an internal override somehow<br/>

If you try to override something that is impossible, obviously the red color text is appropriate<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I guess FTR means fighter plane? Why do the rules spell out bombers, but use FTR for fighters? Just curious.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

It is a distinction used to account for the fact the counters can act as bombers.<br/>

A FTR is a type of counter, a fighter ...

The auto-updater fails "Error: update information for World in Flames could not be downloaded"

Going to the web page and trying a manual download results in me timing out.

Any ideas?

I agree with Paul. Matrix has a very large investment on their books and they need to start getting some return on that investment. Waiting several more years for an AI would seem to be a very poor return on that investment, especially ...

With all due respect this open-ended approach does not seem to have given results so far.

It would be nice with a renewed commitment to actually have this thing go into production. From Matrix.

I am seeing some challenges with the way you play. I like that you try to establish a grand strategy and then have at it but it seems almost impossible not to have such decisions influence the play in ways that it would not do in a game ...

so.. when?

two years? five years?

<t> Rules of Thumb from my experience<br/>

As the allies: do not ever get into a position where a German refusal of Bessarabia can mean the US never goes to war with Germany. Given the wide array of early German gambits that means 3 chits in the european pool from start. You could get away ...

uhm does that mean we are looking at a couple of more years to make an AI?

No statements to the contrary.

I think settling for a mediocre AI would be necessary. Other wargames have had pretty poor AIs and done well enough (Heart of Iron etc.). The real game starts when you get a flesh-and-blood opponent, but even a terrible AI can help you ...

<t> Patton and America in Flames work with the WIf ruleset apart from a few special rules. Air Cav and flying panzers seem relatively easy but the whole political system for AIF would require some serious modding.<br/>
