Really enjoying Fall Weiss II.<br/>
The interaction between subs & destroyers seem much more realistic & causes the subs to hide somewhat, which is good.<br/>
Also the new decisions, which I'm sure took a lot of time & effort, really makes one think.<br/>
I like other changes ...

<t> These are my suggestions to everyone posting:<br/>
<br/>
1) Read the manual and the strategy guide very carefully.<br/>
2) Don't ask questions that are covered in the guides.<br/>
3) Play the game.<br/>
4) Everyone understands what this thread is talking about.(If YOU do or YOU don't ...

Thanks for your reply[:)]. It motivated me to look more closely in the manual.
I believe the answer to my question is not concerning ZOC but rather Surprise Encounters (p105) & sub movement(p117-118).
That helps a lot.

<t> I always appreciate everyone's help with this great game.<br/>
I understand ZOC for land units pretty well.<br/>
However, I don't understand ZOC for naval units.<br/>
It seems that some units can attack and move away while others are stuck next to the attacked unit.<br/>
Is there some ...

Wow!
Lucked into that one!
So if you can pull it off, it sure is worth a try to capture those cities at the same time in order to get rid of England with all of its ships, etc.
I guess, one question is, do we want this to happen?

Edinburgh?
Yes

Yes, Canada , Australia ,Sydney & Toronto were 100% with the Allies.
Hmmmmm.

Hello
Yes, the axis ended their turn in London, Manchester & Alexandria on August 30, 1940.

Playing against AI, Great Britain surrendered after sea lion & London & Manchester fell. They didn't move it's capitol & they gave up all it's ships , Malta, convoy routes, etc.
Is that what normally happens? Seemed pretty easy to accomplish.

So in a round about way, I am back to my original question:
Is there any disadvantage in keeping a surface ship in raider mode all the time unless you actually don't want to raid a convoy route.

Just to be clear:
If a surface ship is sailing in the open seas and not raiding a convoy route, does it use supply or does a ? appear to show location.
If not then a ship could be in raider mode with no effect if it is on the open seas.
correct?[:)]

Thanks for the info. I knew there had to be some effect but I didn't know what it was.

After thinking about it & looking in the manual, I don't know why a surface ship would not be kept in raider mode. Is there some disadvantage I don't know about?
Please tell. Thanks.

<t> I just wanted to add that I really like many of the aspects of the naval mod, especially the fact that subs are a bit easier to defend & destroy and carrier TF's are more powerful. Also the units have different strengths which is how it should be, IMO.<br/>

<t> Thank you for your replies.[:)] I was not thinking of a multiplayer game. I'm trying to get the hang of the game and so I was playing myself vs the AI. I was just wondering if there are some countries on your side that would be best to handle yourself and those that the AI could handle. In my ...

<t> I asked this question on a different site & didn't get much of a response.<br/>
I usually like to set a few countries as AI controlled.<br/>
At the intermediate level are there certain countries that you find are best not to let the AI control?<br/>
I have found that Italy doesn't play very ...

Silly question I suppose but how do you move aircraft( bombers, etc) more than 3 or 4 spaces.
Surely Bombers should be able to fly from USA to Europe or some place in between.
