I think there are two fundamental problems once the game moves onto 1944. First, as in WiTE, there is no reason to repeat a historic mistake. Neither a German player nor the AI will let the allies manage a Falaise style slaughter, so inevitably ...

I really like the sound of the last scenario.

Well, if we're going theoretical scenarios... one day, with the full map, we may get Operation Unthinkable

One question, and this might be too ambitious. But is there a chance this will be like a paradox title in that the results from our Operation Torch scenario can be imported into WitW?

<r> Not sure about that Axis truck pool #, but I imagine the Allies lose a *lot* of trucks in moving supplies from depots, i.e. "Red Bull Express" wearing out the pool.<br/>

But that's, like, a <I><s>[i]</s>logical historical explanation<e>[/i]</e></I>... dunno if that's actually what's ...

<t> FYI, there seems to be an odd problem for some people with the latest beta when playing the grand campaign as the Axis-- the first few AI turns last forrrrrevvvver.<br/>
<br/>
The good news is, once you get past the first few turns, the lag went away, at least for me, and turn resolution time ...

Just wanted to chime in-- same deal here. I've played the Battleground Italy scenario a gazillion times, no problems, but my first grand campaign as Axis under the latest beta patch, I get the same 31% hang during the AI ground phase.

I'll wait until this gets fixed...

<t> RE: re-doing the VPs... while a wholesale revision is off the table, how would this tweak affect the game: make the WA casualty VPs *graduated*, either by date, or by percentage of casualties.<br/>
<br/>
Meaning, WA can take more casualties earlier in the game without as bad a VP hit. It is ...

Logistics Phase Event Log: the criteria you select to display gets reset with every save game re-start. Would be nice to save your settings with the scenario save.

<t> For the record, I am **not** complaining about the AI. I did not nor would I expect that AI to be flexible enough to deal with a forward defense of Sicily. <br/>
<br/>
Now, of course, I'd love it if the AI *was* aggressive enough to deal with such a situation, but I can't blame it for not ...

Belphegor, thank you so for much for your help, you're the best.

And Joel, pass thanks to you and Gary for taking a deeper look... looking forward to the patch!

Thanks Joel... save game sent.

<t> Italy is a tough nut to crack. The way the Allies have around it is to launch a phib invasion every time the Axis form a line, the AI will then dislocate (teleport?) to the rear, abandoning those forts. The phib has to be large enough to trigger this, a couple of divisions gets "walled off ...

Ha, try this against a human at your own peril.

Heh, I may be dumb, but I ain't stupid! [:D]

<t> FYSA, I read the Massie book years ago and really enjoyed it, but just this past spring I discovered Andrew Gordon's "The Rules of the Game"-- Gordon's book predated Massie's by only a few years, but it makes it clear that Massie simply summarized the trail that Gordon blazed. Hands-down one of ...

<r> This was against the AI on normal, of course, but on the first turn I pushed everything that could move to Sicily, with the exception of the Luftwaffe which I relocated to safety in Germany. I then dug in like an Alabama tick as the Allies futilely bashed against my now-impenetrable redoubt. In ...

<r> Heck, they don't even have to leave Sicily...<br/>

<t> I've never played WITP so can't attest to whether you will like it, but I *have* played WITE since it came out, and would strongly disagree that it's a bad game-- it's a great game, it just had a number of stubborn bugs and ahistorical balancing issues that took (too many) years to work out. But ...

<t> You don't assign the construction units to air HQs, you assign them to ground HQs near the airbase. <br/>
<br/>
Thing is, CUs *should* flow down through the command chain (I think), so if they're at, say, Army Group level but you need an airbase expanded near a Division HQ, the CU should flow ...

<t> O/T, but how is Parallels? I've used VMWare forever to play my Windows-only wargames, but it won't let me play certain games that hog too much power (AGEOD's games I can only play in native Bootcamp, and CMNAO is waaay too slow). <br/>
