Michael T, we have a game where amazing movements should be possible under the right conditions, and we have weekly turns. It becomes quite difficult to balance this in such a way that you get the ability to suddenly encircle large ...

RE: Next qualitative leap for WitE

<t> You won't get the Dev's to admit to any fundamental imbalances. An imbalance is ok in my book. The Axis have to win fast or not win at all. Once into 1942, there is the United States to deal with, starting to lose the U-boat war, Italy faltering, German economy, more and more garrison ...

RE: Is the 1941 campaign Whack right now?

I would really like to see something or better yet 'some things'/enhancements still get implemented. I am pretty sure it could still be done, as this game deserves it.

RE: Historical play

Regimental Breakdown should cost Admin Points. This is one small step against Lvov and other regiment gambits. It won't fix them but Regimental Breakdown is currently exploited. It is a commander's decision and action as much as any other and should cost AP, and is a doable fix.
