Operational or tactical level of warfare

<t> Playing the game I've come to realize that while we are playing at an operational level with corps and armies the combat system is actually giving results you would find at the lower tactical level say in combats involving infantry battalions or tank regiments.<br/>
<br/>
For example, it is ...

Iraki uprising

<t> The Iraki uprising took a local RAF garrison one week to put down. That's one turn in game turns. Playing the game you can't achieve the same result without committing serious amounts of resources over a large period of time.<br/>
<br/>
Any chance we can solve this with an event: pay for the ...

RE: Mass Air Groups

<t> Rather than oil as a resource I would have an abstract Supply Point (SP). Each country produces a limited number of SPs every turn base on its economy but players can then choose to expend MPPs on buying units, research or extra SPs. SPs can be stockpiled. Each action by a unit expends SPs until ...

RE: Looking for opponent to play a campaign with historical restrictions

OK Hamburgermeat. I've set up a game with today's date (20/04). I'll put you as Axis if that's OK as i want to see how the game pans out with both players knowing what to do. Or at least you will...

RE: Looking for opponent to play a campaign with historical restrictions

<t> Good point about SF. That also ties in with Narvik expedition.<br/>
<br/>
The restriction for Lybian coast is to reflect that in nearly three years of war no one contemplated an amphibious landing to turn the flank of the enemy. That would suggest it was logistically too difficult or risky for ...

RE: Mass Air Groups

<t> I think a simple solution isn't to tinker with the game engine but for players to accept game play restrictions before they start a game. For example, here are the restrictions I would like in my next PBEM game to deal with various issues that decrease my enjoyment of the game:<br/>

Looking for opponent to play a campaign with historical restrictions

<t> I would like to try out the game with a number of voluntary restrictions on play in order to achieve a more historical game than a straight PBEM game provides:<br/>
<br/>
1. Germany cannot invest in amphibious warfare<br/>
2. No amphibious landings permitted on the European coast from October ...

Amphibious transport

<t> I'm having issues playing Sealion as the Axis. I can load units from Le Havre and Cherbourg onto amphibious landing craft and unload them on the south coast of the UK in the same turn. However, in order to do that I have to block all sea hexes around the ports except the northern onse with my ...

Replay error

<t> In my game against donwurli (turn 44, possibly his turn 43?) the replay was of a previous turn (don't know which) when the Allies held Paris when we were already on to Sealion. I downloaded the file at least three times and got the same result.<br/>

I played another game immediately ...

RE: Balance analysis

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
We started in 1.03 but by the time we got to SeaLion it was well past 1.04.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the tip on convoys. A clear case of RTFM. Duh!<br/>

One last thing. I'd have units on 0 supply lose a random number of strength points every turn. Otherwise, you get units ...

RE: Balance analysis

<t> Given my PBEM gaming experience I would agree that Sealion, followed by the conquest of French Africa with a late Russian invasion seems like an almost unstoppable strategy. It takes practice to build the right troops and get them at the right place and the right time for Sealion but after that ...
