chinese destroyer has.... 112 (!!!) missile launchers. talk about saturation. not sure AEGIS (1980's tech in USN) can cope in Taiwan blockade/invasion/conflict scenario with this. A US TF with aircraft carrier and escorts versus, lets be conservative here, 500+ missiles coming towards them, includin...

Flying boats are for some reason my thing. I think the Catalina was the best airplane of WW2, because it could do EVERYTHING any other plane could do. Ambulance plane? check. Spying plane? check. torpedo bomber? yup. horizontal bomber? sure. air to air combatant? of course. transport plane? main use...

thanks for answering

this is one game which should have had a proper AAR

Wow, must have been quite a game.


Is is going to be continued, the Allies will get lots of new toys to play with in 1943, then in 1944 the steamroll back begins?

haha, 2024



I am not playing DW2, because.... well..... I do not see much difference to DWU.


I was REALLY hoping for making in-empire politics (parties, decisions), a more expanded DWU, instead I got DWU in 3D with non-moving planets.

The thing which irks me the most. It is not the UI from the 1980's, where you have to click on everything resulting in carpal tunnel. It is not the obtuse engine, where a decade plus after the game came out people still discuss what is REALLY going on underneath all the results. It is the fact that ...

I don't think people realize the power of AI, what it can do now, and to extrapolate it by 2-10 years.

Relax, AI is coming.


It is possible NOW to make an AI opponent for any game, starcraft 2 (which is real time) is already doing this.


Very soon somebody less lazy than me will make an AI opponent for this game.

Yup, checking in. Seems text AAR's are out, vidyas are in. I remember when I bugged Harplonked to do a video AAR on this game, and he said "who will watch it?". Different era. I am old. I played this vs AI, me as Allies. I did not look up enemy OOB and reinforcements to be surprised. And.....

First and foremost, this is not AI.

These are a series of scripts, which run independent of user actions.


Now.... I for one am very very very VERY much looking forward to REAL AI taking over as my opponent in WITPAE.

This will happen within 1-2 years, tops.

Always a pleasure to read.

Thanks for posting.

Man, what an effort post.

Downloaded.

Any other guides you made?

Again, Timo? You do not want to play as the Empire? It will end the same as before, I will beat you in auto victory by 1943.

AI, don't be cheeky, lets start the game. And speed up the combat phase as usual by 1.5 times.

Loading the game and starting now, Timo. Good luck, human.

<t> Did anybody notice this gigantic change?<br/> <br/> Not too long ago, I read many people writing that to have a good game without a mod, Japan MUST play scenario 2. Playing scenario 1 would lead to Japan being too weak and not a good game over all.<br/> <br/> That was the prevailing opinion.<br/...

Is it possible for China to be defended and not totally conquered? Especially in scenario 1.

Question to all I guess reading AAR.

<t> "The main action for this turn however occurred in the Malay peninsula. The Japanese built up a considerable aerial presence in Kota Bharu to threaten Singapore, so I decided to go on the offensive with what I had rather than wait to be overwhelmed. I struck Kota Bharu's airfields with a light c...

Wow

I will be following both AAR's, both good players, should be fascinating.

No opsec breaks from me, I will just maybe comment with an occasional funny (...to some.... ok, me) & witty (err) comment.

"a highly experienced and capable player who has never lost a campaign."

Please don't break his psyche too much, don't make him suffer. Make it quick.

Nippon autovictory in 1941, invade New York [:D]
