RE: Taking Long Time to Move (Some) Units

<t> In my current solitaire game, picking up 4 US HQs from inland hexes in Europe and moving them to Biscay, Channel and North Sea ports caused the game to recalculate supply. Each one took about 4 minutes (I used a stop watch), at which point a pop-up appeared, stating that the program seemed to be...

RE: World War III

I like the idea. Do the air units represent much smaller numbers of aircraft, maybe squadron size? One small critique; the air-to-air value for the F-117s should probably be parenthesized, because they are not air-to-air capable, to my knowledge.

Looks like fun.

RE: Production and Convoy Routes Lockdown.

<t> The thing that I don't like about convoy points is, if a group of CPs that is combined into one counter and is successfully attacked, the CPs that remain in the sea zone (if there are any) are taken out of sentry. If you fail to notice this before the return to base phase, all the non-sentry CPs...

This organization has quite a few aircraft still flying.

Edit: they are probably not "working" aircraft, outside of air shows and the occasional movie, I expect.

RE: An Attempt to use MWiF to Simulated WW2 Reasonably Historically

I see in post 1716 that the Me-163 Komet is in the destroyed pool. I looked for it in earlier posts to find a battle that it was involved in, but couldn't find it. So how did the little fireball die? If you happen to remember, that is.

Use of offensive chits-air and naval actions

Air actions: It is stated in the RAC manual (Page 132, Section 16.1) and in the Player's Manual (Vol. 2, Pages 152-3, Section 9.2.24, Air Action bullets) that air units receive the applicable O-chit benefit for missions t...
