<t> Hi, my name is Todd, aka King Solomon, and I'm guilty of being a lurker. I recently caught the WitP:AE bug after reading some of the great AAR's.<br/>
<br/>
I am reluctantly "retired" but hey, it gives me free time to spend playing WitP. I am also trying to get back into board gaming after ...

<t> Good advice, I think we'll try just that. Dr. Hal. I was surprised at the number of Sub Tenders in the Pacific, I was expecting a few more. I can see how precious the tenders are and will try to protect them as I create my lines of defense. I'm sure to have a few wander under the bomb sights as ...

<t> CB - Contrary away, I posed the question to hear all ideas. I do see what you're saying, never thought of that idea and it appears a good way to find balance between auto and manual. <br/>
<br/>
I do think controlling subs manually is the right idea for me this time through, I am a total newb ...

<t> Makes sense, thank you all for your advice. I like the plan and totally forgot about the old “S” class torpedoes. I’ll add a tab to my first turn orders spreadsheet. I am hoping to create a sort of first turn save template with Kull’s (?) orders entered for futures uses to save myself from ...

<t> Total newb, playing .26b, starting a new game, Scenario 002, War in the Pacific: Hakko Ichiu. Playing as Allies vs. Japan, AI Difficulty: Hard. Planning on playing semi-historical for the first six months, setting up my defenses and my supply lines, and letting the AI run it's scripts. I plan on ...

<r> Yes, everything I saw said a crew of 3 as well, a driver, a gunner, and a loader. <br/>
<br/>
I do not think the info is incorrect, just incomplete. I have no clue on policy. Both guns could be removed and used in a ground support role if needed but only one tripod was included. My question is ...

<t> I still have time to turn you both to the dark side. Actually you both make great points, it depends on what you want to get out of them and your playing situation. If I am playing a limited turn scenario, I might use a spreadsheet to determine how I want to reorg units or support. I always have ...

Have you have not seen the spreadsheet section of EvK's library of WitE resources?<br/>
<br/>
You will be begging for the power decks instead! [:D]<br/>

NEVER! The answer to any problem is an Excel spreadsheet. All WitE ...

Wait, you have to be a rocket scientist to play this game? Somehow EvK I am not surprised after reading your guides and AAR's. Enjoy your seminar and looking forward to your next AAR installment.

<t> Joelmar, I know what you're saying but to me, with my sardine fingers, you are one of the lucky ones. I'm glad you made your peace.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks everyone for their list of games and their Avalon Hill memories. They were a giant in their day, too bad their not around to see the game ...

Over 500 games!?! I cannot begin to imagine. Are there any WWI games you (or anyone) would recommend outside of Paths of Glory?

EvK hurry back, there appears to be dissension growing amongst the ranks!

(Note to self, if you see Telemecus with presentation clicker in hand, walk calmly but briskly towards the nearest exit)

<t> Haney - thanks for the recommendations, all look great! Ultimate General is on my Steam Wishlist. Guess it's time to give it a try. Looks like they will be adding a new title called Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail. I've also wanted to try Scourge of War: Waterloo. But neither will overtake WitE ...

<t> SSI Second Front. No wonder I need glasses.<br/>
<br/>
I love VASL because it allows me to play boardgames that are just too large. At least until I can build that game room (we all have dreams). I work with an ASL junkie. How I wish I could get lost in a game for days! He is looking forward ...

<t> I love this AAR, it's like Operation Barbarossa in reverse (Assorabrab?). I've always wanted to do an AAR on a scenario other than the Grand Campaign. It's refreshing to see you do that. Wait, you're leaving us for two weeks after getting us hooked? May the tallest person at the Seminar sit ...

<t> Tactics II was my first real war boardgame but Storm over Arnhem was the first one I was addicted to. ASL...it's just out of my league. Only recently has life pushed me back into boardgames. But some of the games available now are amazing, they've come so far since the Avalon Hill days. I would ...

<t> It's very interesting to read everyone's background and what brought them here. Midway and Storm over Arnhem bring back memories. I still enjoy board games, as evidenced by spending hours today clipping corners to MMP's Korea: The Forgotten War. (Has anyone played this?) You can have ASL. I'll ...

Bliztk,

I might be able to provide an excel spreadsheet listing reinforcements depending upon which scenario and which side you want. Would that work?
