Thanks Alvaro! Allied AI Imporved

<t> For the first time playing as the Axis against the AI, using several of my "house" rules to slow the Axis, I think I'm not going to get to Moscow. <br/> <br/> I noticed the terrain, and that's part of it. But it also seems as if the Russians, when a place falls, don't suddenly pull back to the n...

RE: How to ruin the game?

I agree. I should have added that I'm ,dding the 39 scenario for play against the AI as the Axis.

But, as for the Italians, there's no way they should be rated as high as they are. Better than the Russians? Better than the French? No way!

RE: How to ruin the game?

Basic problem? The Belgians, Dutch, and French units have over rated experience levels, as do the Italians and others. Reduce D and B levels by 20, and French by 10. I put the Italians at 15.

Unit Files. Where?

<t> I've downloaded some new units.pgn files that I'd like to use, but I can't find the originals to replace. I've searched the main Matrix games files and the WarPlan files on my User section, where the sames are saved. I see some new alternate units files that came with the latest patch. But where...

Norway!

<r> Okay. It <I><s>[i]</s>was<e>[/i]</e></I> "unrealistic" for the Germans to take out Denmark and Norway on turns 2 and 3. But it's unrealistic to counter such a move by strengthening the Oslo unit from 3 to a 7. Why not leave the Norwegian units as they were, but strip the Germans of their ten lan...

AI Thinking Harder?

<t> it could be my imagination, but it seems to me that after the new patch the AI is taking more time to make its move. I'm not complaining. It's not taking long. But it seems to be taking longer. <br/> <br/> I didn't see anything in the Patch notes about any AI improvements. But I do see that when...

Ports Questions

<t> LaRochelle: Shouldn't it be a 5? The Germans had U-Boat Pens there. I assume they could repair damaged U-Boats. Same for Trondheim and Bergen where they also had Pens. <br/> <br/> There are two ports along the northern French coast that have no rail connections. Calais and Rouen? Shouldn't all p...

RE: middle east oil...

I did take them once and did get the oil. But I needed merchant shipping to transport the oil along the convoy route that popped up from Beirut, I think, back to Europe. So you need shipping and you need Syria/Lebanon.

RE: U-Boat War Too Lethal

<t> I understand all of this. I know that a human player can compensate for the lethality and maintain a balance, unlike the AI. It was playing solitaire that I started noticing how off things were. <br/> <br/> For example: Escorts cost 40. Merchant shipping points cost 10 each (in groups of 10 for ...

U-Boat War Too Lethal

<t> That's my conclusion. It's far too lethal, from both sides. <br/> <br/> As best as I can determine, each point of a UB Group equals 5 boats--25 per group. Each point of merchant shipping equals 100,000 tons. The Danes had 1.2 million GRT of shipping, of which most went to the British when the Ge...

Egypt as the Axis?

I cannot get supply past Alamein. How do you get to a defended Alexandria without supply?

I don't think you can chain HQs.

Or can't you?

Thanks.
