Greetings all,

Game Length
-I have played the game over 10 times and have never reached 1944. The early games tended to end based on Manchuria, either Japan collapsed or the USSR was overcommitted and died at 41' Barbarossa (house rules cured this). Other games ceased due to an Oops (Germany in ...

Does anybody change the names on their HQ's to someone else? If so, to whom?

Thanks for the response.

On the first question I meant...when on average do the two US Economic gear ups tend to occur? For instance, in my game its May/June 1941 and the US has not geared up at all yet. Probably will occur in July/August 1941. Is this about right? Am i behind where the norm is ...

Greetings all. Been getting back into WIF action and as usual, its a blast (have more time now). A few questions:

1) As the CW, do you tend to setup convoys in the Bay of Biscay or do you avoid it? Drawbacks include easier access (than the North Atlantic) and higher sea boxes for the Germans and ...

Greetings all,

Always been curious about the 2000 and 2008 annuals. I know they consist of Patton in Flames and Factories in Flames info etc, but how do they both relate to Matrix WIF? Are they worth purchasing in that context? Thanks.

I think you are correct Paul. It was Naval Digression.

Hello all,

Pete Garnett and I started our first game in years and were doing quite well until we hit a snag in March/April 41 that killed it. Experienced a 'Naval Regression Error' which only seemed to kick in when Germany/Italy had naval units in the same port (though it could have happened ...

I personally think I have already gotten my money's worth in playing online against other players, so I feel no bitterness in that regard. The game is eminently playable by those who want to spend the time to do it. By using AnyDesk (which is free) and sending files by email, it works.....and its a ...

2) Russo-Japanese Pact border garrisons = 1939 (7 to 1) 1940 (6 to 1). 1941 (5 to 1) etc etc. Since I don't like WIF to be decided in 1940 Manchuria, this is required. This includes a mandatory 5 land units (Corp/Army equivalent) that must stay in Manchuria....its miserable enough for China ...

Unfortunately that is not it. Appreciate you looking into it. Thanks.

Van.

Thank you profusely. Land units are officially khaki. Wonderful.

Now if only i could garner shellshock's great terrain bmp's and the aesthetics are complete. Thanks again.

Van

Unfortunately if you look at the Khaki in flames zip file, it does not include the land units.

Shellshocks link no longer works.

Hopefully somebody has downloaded these and can email them to me. Thanks.

Greetings all,

I have utilized Khaki in flames for everything except Commonwealth land units. Can someone email me the bmp's to replace these too?

I also would like to utilize Shellshocks old land bmp's that were really good. Particularly for Mountains, Desert, Swamp and Plains. If anyone has them ...

These are very impressive report rkr. Talk about detail!

I notice you have Khaki in flames. Although I have utilized this as well, the files associated that I have do not include Commonwealth land units. Do you happen to have that available to send me? Or the link? Thanks!

Ok guys. I have never had the pleasure (displeasure?) of playing beyond mid-43. In mid-43 there are signs of the turn, but the Axis are still bloody damn tough and insolent to boot. High quality Panzers and Luftwaffe everywhere, Japanese Naval Air on innumerable islands. China still in tough ...

Alright all. I have two

1) Victory. Objective cities = 15. Game ends Sept/Oct 45. Axis have more than 15 cities, they win. Less, they lose. 15 its a glorious tie. I plagiarized this from some distant post ages ago. Thank you whoever you are.

2) Russo-Japanese Pact border garrisons = 1939 (7 to 1 ...

Has anyone here played this game? Please describe your thoughts on it. Assume I am clueless (a wise assumption).

If anyone is as old as me and remembers 'Stretch Armstrong', that pretty well sums up the Commonwealth position, particularly when the Japanese very rudely enter the war.

With the Med being a tense bloodbath, the Atlantic on a precarious knife edge (will my convoys get decimated this turn?), All ...

Well, things seem a little dull here. I don't know if its a situation where there is 'nothing new under the sun' or if interest is waning a bit. Decided to throw some questions out to see what other peoples thoughts are in terms of buying certain units.

CVL --> ever worth buying?

Air Transports ...

I am more than happy to be wrong. :D

I second my fellow Canadian's (CanInf) positive sentiment in that I am glad to hear Steve is doing mighty fine and that the game continues to progress. I used to be one of those players who didn't see much point in developing AI and wanted the optional rules ...
