Did you notice that I began by saying that playing against AI was fantastic?
Or do you actually mean that anything other than rabid enthusiasm is unwelcome in the forums?

<t> I apologise for the question appearing overly loaded, let me re-phrase...<br/>
<br/>
My experience of person vs person WiTE was that victory seemed more determined by the min-maxing of complex mechanisms of dubious historicity, like the aerial resupply of panzers with fuel. Although I could ...

<t> When I first played WiTE against the AI, I thought it was fantastic.<br/>
I could focus on core combat and movement, refighting historical events on a massive scale.<br/>
<br/>
But when I started playing human opponents, victory seemed less determined by combat and movement, and instead ...

To what extent does the game reward tedious micromanagement, as WiTE did with things like assigning support units, HQ build-ups, magic fuel drops etc?

<r> I am disappointed.<br/>
<br/>
While the scale is smaller than WiTE, WiTW looks more complicated with new turn phases and mechanisms.<br/>
No doubt some of the mechanisms will be broken just as they were dor WiTE.<br/>

It is as though Gary Grisby discovered the capabilities of a PC and ...

I've read far worse.

Hardly a compliment.
The WITE manual is almost unusable for a new player.

<t> I have had a server game which seems to have 'broken'.<br/>
(Its my turn, but I can't load the turn, it returns some error message.)<br/>
I notice from the AARs that people talk about 'sending' turns, suggesting many people are using PBEM.<br/>
Are the server games systematically problematic ...

Using them well is essential unless your opponent is also clueless.

That's horrible, if its true.
Who wants to play a wargame where pouring over the opaque minutae of support unit assignment is 'essesntial'?

Just display the support unit and it will show the construction value.

But can't you only do that after its been assigned?
At which point... its too late to make a decision about which SU would have been better to assign.

Can the beta testers post After Action Reports?<br/>

Can we the people encourage them to do so?

And it will likely say ...

Which SUs help more in fort building, sappers/engineers or construction?

And if the answer is sappers, what's the point of construction SUs.

<r>
<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> I struggled with this for a while and it helps to keep an eye on the detailed battle reports. Sappers are clearly good, they help you dig in, they reduce fort levels when you attack and sometimes you gain a huge boost to the combat value from them.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE ...

Do you find the use of air-transported units effective though?

I find that most often the planes are more useful being themselves, and the units have already been thrown in front of a tank.
Maybe in the longer campaigns it becomes more useful? I don't know yet.

I feel your pain.<br/>
The manual is, unsurprisingly, very unhelpful on this topic.<br/>
<br/>
My emotional response is that fiddling with attachments is a blackhole of time wastage and not fun.<br/>
<br/>
Perhaps more thoughtfully, I wonder: <br/>
1) Are there any ...

Thank you to both of you for your detailed comments and suggestions.
I have started up another scenario to see if I can implement them.

Cheers
