Sure. Got my feet wet with a few games vs the AI. Ready to tackle a real player.

I thought that might be the case, but I didnt see it mentioned in the rules anywhere. Thanks.

Edit: Was a huge fan of SSIs War in Russia (Grigsby) but havent played it in years. Im pretty sure the basic concepts are the same here.

<t> Looked through a few threads, and wondering what I am doing wrong. Just downloaded the game earlier today (and the latest patch).<br/>

Reading through the manual and messing with the game as I go, currently into chapter 5. I started a 1941 campaign game as the Russians. Played the German ...

Engagement of ships by land units have so many variables in the real world (esp. back in the 1940's) that a WIDE range of outcomes are to be expected. In WitP I have sailed by major CD units and had NOTHING happen. On other occasions, such as a ...

As an Allied player, who loves to restart the grand campaign, I use the British DDs in Hong Kong at the start of the war to pound the Canton airfield. Why? Well, I am ...

The die rolls don't matter. You are claiming - or have you changed your mind? - that the guns are not allowed to fire. It works fine for other people. And as they have explained, it is far from guaranteed that CD guns in any given situation will ...

Chances are that your teeny weeny CD guns got suppressed within the first seconds of the battle just by looking the force relation. If not theres a couple of other perfectly legal reasons why they did not fire. That you are still pressing the ...

I don't know the background of the game. But two thoughts:<br/>

If you do not take range into account - 12cm and 8cm guns are really wimpy compared to the 8 inch/20cm guns of heavy cruisers.... They are ok for disrupting transports but do not expect anything against warships...

Did a quickie google search for artillery firing back at shore bombarding ships. Already knowing the answer (yes they DID shoot back), I didnt look too long before I found that according to records from DDs Frankford, Doyle, and ...
