If USSR had fought a war with Rumania and agreed to peace terms and then declared war a short while lalter I doubt that USSR could have recieved any help from the Western Allies. The political cost for Charles X Gustav of Sweden 1658 was heavy ...

Declare war, make peace and then declare war again with the same country all within a couple of months time is unheard of to me. I feel it is totally unrealistic.

<r> Well, then the wording on the US entry chart really should be changed, since note 5 for entry action "10. Japan occupies Chinese city" says:<br/>

A Chinese city which is controlled by the Japanese at the beginning of the scenario should historically be considered already rolled for in the past. IMHO there shouldn't be a US entry die roll for cities under Japanese control at start of the ...

I intended to relocate HQ-I Yamamoto and the 5-5 MOT either to the southern front for the winter, or to Siam (there are transports waiting for them in Haichow). However, the Communists got frisky and sent the MTN unit to take the city of ...

The reason why the math is so simple is that each roll is ...

<t> Actually, the math is as simple as stated in the thread, when looking at the expected value (mean), and it will definitely be higher (feel free to do a Monte Carlo experiment if you don't believe me). However, the tails of the distribution curve will be longer and thinner, i.e. the maximum ...

<t> Fair enough everyone, if it were up to me I'd rather see a flat 2 entry hit for each city, in order to keep the total entry hit close to WIFFE, but I'll leave it to you guys with more insight to decide.<br/>

Anyway, peskpesk's mentioning of the extra units reminds of my other question ...

<t> This means a higher US entry hit for conquering China. In a 1939 campaign there would on average be 3.6 chits drawn before a Chinese surrender (0.4 x 9 cities, assuming Kashgar and Urumchi aren't taken until China surrenders).<br/>
<br/>
There are now 12 new optional cities under Chinese ...

<t> After reading through this thread, it seems to me that the Chinese Warlords option is a must in order to have play balance in China. My question is about supply; are Warlords from Japanese-controlled cities considered Japanese units (like most CBV) or are they more like TERRs from conquered ...

<t> Well, it would be insane for the Allies to align NL with SU early in the game exactly for the reasons you give, so I didn't even consider that. Aligning with SU would only be an option under certain circumstances when NL is still neutral in late 1941/early 1942 and both CW, SU and US are ready ...

<t> That's exactly what I'm saying... If Germany declares war on NL first, then Japan won't have to DOW NL separately and won't suffer the extra US entry chits! However, that also gives the Allies the opportunity to align NL with Soviet Union if it would cause problems for Japan, but in 95% of the ...

<t> Well, in both cases I'm assuming Japan is about the declare on CW, so the agreement will be off then anyway.<br/>
<br/>
The Japan DOW on NL entry action is exactly why it's better to have Germany DOW instead of Nippon, but if it happens late in the game it's viable under some circumstances to ...

<t> Of course he hated Georgians, but I'm not sure he hated THE Georgians, implying all Georgians.

The way MWIF handles creating saved oil is that each Saved Oil 'unit' has a number on it, reflecting how much oil is being saved in the hex. When you save one oil point in a hex, the unit is created with a number of 1; so no oil is 'lost ...

<t> Most I've read about the Netherlands in various threads in the forum is that Germany sometimes holds the DOW until the Japan DOW, in order to keep the NL CP from CW in 39/40. If Japan declares war on the US, NL, CW and FR simultaneously, then it could be a good move. However, if Japan decides to ...
