I am guessing everyone's use of diplo on Turkey and Spain is based on an Allied AI. A human player will note the Axis use of Diplo and will counter. So better to do diplo, which gets countered, or use for Tech?

And I always do some defense of London. Can it be taken, possibly but it will be ...

There is usually one per year.

Bill,
Quick, concise answer as usual.
Your answer caused me to look in the manual para 5.13.3. Damage to Resources (what I should have done first.) Your answer is better as it points out the downside and gets to my question about units. I think I found a typo: "Any resource except for a Capital of ...

It is clear to me that it is critical to USSR defense to see to the destruction of city rail hubs. I have tried defending with static units, inf units, heavy inf units, and leaving nothing on cities. When the Germans occupy, leaving nothing generally results in an intact rail hub, but it rarely does ...

Spotting of ships by other ships and by air is clear.
For vacant terrain with no land, air, or ships involved, what is the range at which ships will be spotted? for transports/amphib/capital/subs

As we know, some French units defected to the UK when France surrendered. This could be a feature rather than a bug?

All the mods are good, but all the mods are more complicated. I enjoy the basic games as the most balanced as it has had a huge effort over i think 30+ upgrades to improve playability and game balance.

There are several important aspects of SC WiE that any defender must learn and practice:
1. Economy of force. Your opponent can't be everywhere (until late game) so screen where he is not.
2. Keep your units in supply. They defend better and return quicker and cheaper.
3. Utilize your HQS. Put ...

The Axis can take Leningrad with the forces present. It will be a slog, but doable. Also, the southern port can be attacked by the Axis with relative impunity and high effectiveness. These seem ahistorical. I understand the Russians grounded the BB and it made a very tough and effective fire support ...

I am very sorry I missed your reply. I was checking my old emails and saw your reply. I went on a four-month camping trip in my 9-meter class A RV and I completely forgot. I am playing in the annual SC WiE tournament. I didn't see you playing there. If you are still interested I might be able to ...

good idea

As a player since the start, a manager of early ELO SC WiE tournaments, and a player in all 3 WiE tournaments, I would like to make the following observations/suggestions:

1. WiE is an outstanding "Game" not a simulation but a "Game." ELO results show that both sides can win the 1939 scenario.

2 ...
