<t> Go to the main World in Flames forum to see the MWIF Monthly Status Reports thread (usually near the top of the list). Go to the most recent (at the bottom) and look at the AI section and go back over the last few monthly reports that are near that.<br/>

There has been some progress, but ...

<t> It is still working for me.<br/>
<br/>
Any chance that you tried it out over a stack of a single unit? The fly-out does not happen then - just when there are multiple units in a hex.<br/>
<br/>
You should also try it out on a Solitaire game to see if it is just on Netplay. Sometimes there ...

I am able to start a new game or load a few different saved Global War games including the Fast Start.

That doesn't mean that there might not be some errors, but they may be related to your save file.

I suggest that you start a new game or restore the Fast Start.

You can not rail move through Neutral countries or even allies that you are not cooperating with. Though you can put naval units in their ports, you still do not have control to allow the rail moves. You will need to conquer them first.

<t> There are other ways to affect the Axis without hurting the US entry.<br/>
<br/>
There is nothing to stop you from putting CW units in places that inhibit actions by Italy against France. You could also set up for the DOW by Italy or prepare to DOW against Italy or start your offensives, but ...

<t> How about a two player accept and reject dialog similar to what happens for Romania and Finland with Russia? The terms don't need to be formalized in the code, just the acceptance.<br/>
<br/>
It would just end the state of war. Prior to that, each player would take their turns to move their ...

All you need to do is to enter the Vichy territory and collapse is automatic.

No DOW required.

<t> Just don't set your expectations too high.<br/>
<br/>
It is going to be different than a smart human and there will be a performance cost. <br/>
<br/>
It might help for smaller scenarios like the introductory ones, but a Global War will just be a bear.<br/>
<br/>
This game is pretty ...

I suggest that you look at the costs before the option, during builds, and after you have completed the 10 builds. You do not get to choose. Effectively, it just saves you 10 points of the cost.

Look at the Rules as Coded book page 93 number 16 in 13.3 US Entry - The Entry Options.

It costs 1 less build point for the next 10 SCS builds.

<t> After Paris has fallen, the rest of France will fall soon after. Skipping Vichy would make conquest take a bit longer, but not all that much longer. So, if the Spanish alignment was there, most would choose to continue past Paris to complete conquest. It would be worth it. The main investment ...

<t> I think that it is pretty potentially unbalancing. Though most times, Vichy will be declared, which unless I misunderstand would not trigger the Spanish alignment, frequently, Vichy is cancelled, which I believe would trigger the alignment.<br/>
<br/>
The impact on the game balance would be ...

<t> In the attached save game file, the optional rule for 9.6.1 (Limited Overseas Supply is OFF), but units in Formosa appear to still be in supply even though there is only a convoy. If the optional rule was ON, then, that would be correct, but since it is OFF, the Japanese units on that island ...

<t> I just tried something similar with a Solitaire game with most recent version and this did not happen to me. we are both on the same version, so this must be a Netplay specific issue. You might also possibly have an out of sync pair of files. Maybe restore both sides to the same autosave file ...

<t> I could not find an action for re-occupying by China, so I think you are right, but I recall having something like that happen to me previously. I guess the only thing that should occur is a new roll for a chit each time it is occupied by Japan and no consequence for having it re-occupied by ...

I think it used to take away a chit on a roll.

Every option is limited to 2 players, but it is easy to work around. MWIF has just the 2 sides, but you can switch between major powers easily for most actions. We regularly play with 4 players, but just go through the major power sequence for each action and switch when necessary.

It is not a great starting set up, but it embeds enough mistakes that you can learn from those quickly enough so that when you play a real game, you can plan for a better start on both sides.

<t> I expect that Steve will take a progressive approach. I would not be surprised to see the AI evolve and start with Barbarossa to focus on the land action. That would likely evolve into Guadalcanal.<br/>
<br/>
I agree that it might not make much sense to go for the Global War since there will ...
