I don't think I've ever seen Germany as tief in die Tinte at the end of the first turn.

But, if you can turn the lemons into lemonade, then the greater share of honour.

Good Luck!

MWIF does not increase the notional strength by 1 if it is in ZOC of a friendly TERR. We have decided to continue as if that is a bug and modify the combat results accordingly.<br/>

Eventually Japan would still have to move Convoy Points to Italian East Africa, from where they can sail to the Persian Gulf, something that might take until turn 2, depending on how Japan prioritizes their TRS use here.

You can only align a minor to an active major. "Active" = at war with a major on the other side.

I looked for that in the rules and didn't find it. Can you direct me to the reference?<br/>

Thanks ...

<t> I set up a game to try this. What surprised me was that I was not given the option to align Persia to the SU. I was asked to align to CW, then France with the note that if I didn't align to France the country would surrender.<br/>

Any thoughts on why I was not allowed to align Persia to ...

Given the characteristics of the Italian Fleet, mostly 2 range with 5 and 6 movement, if the Med is going to be split into three zones then the new division makes a lot of sense to me. YMMV.

<t> So I think there are at least two different questions here:<br/>

1) WiF sub combat compared to historical success<br/>
2) Is WiF sub combat "cost effective"<br/>

To answer Question 1 I looked at the historical record. Using fairly round numbers U-boats sunk the following tonnage ...

Mostly I do all those things. I don't always feel I have units to spare for the Bessarabian cities, but I will look into that more. I do use speed bumps, but mostly Mil, Gar, 3 factor Inf, 2-3 factor Cav, and div in cities/forest/swamp.<br/>

Ah, found the answer in the Campaign & Players' Guide. It was the last place I looked. [:)]

Question: When using Ships in Flames, which of the original ship counters are removed? I can easily see that you should remove the BB, CA, CL, CV sets, but I am not sure if the SS, AMP, and TRS are replacements for or additions to.

Thanks in advance!

<t> RE: The Counters. <br/>

1) My Germans are clearly gray and black. Russia orange.<br/>
2) The counters separate so well that I can hardly see or feel the "nub".<br/>
3) Since in my first copy of WiF 1st edition the counters literally separated into the cardboard core and little paper ...

Got mine today! [8D]

<t> Way back in the day, before 1994 at least I was playing Germany in a WiF/DoD(1st edition) game. I'm struggling to remember the year, but I successfully performed a coup in Czechoslovakia and the next turn declared war on the Soviet Union and defeated them utterly with almost exclusively Czech ...

Right. The anticipation led to a massive opening. But the movie has since underperformed greatly, with viewership falling in ways unheard of for a Star Wars movie. For this movie, that may not matter - the investment might've been covered ...
