Just recently when logging into to PBEM games, i received a message that my username and password do not match. I put in the password I remember and i receive the PBEM communication error. Is this a sign I entered the wrong password or is there a system error?

Honestly, I haven't seen conclusive indications of cheating. I've played against very good players, and the games I lost were done fairly. My recommendation for those who feel otherwise is to find a different opponent. There are many good players out there who don't have time to cheat. I do like the...

Well the point is to have this be an actual decision- the Axis player chooses where- not if. The costs are incurred either way, but I don't think there is any objection because no one would not choose to have those extra units.

Just change the timing of the script so the triomphant arrives the end of the previous Axis turn or the beginning of the Allied turn. Then the Allied player can move it or suffer the consequences. I seem to remember a similar problem with the Flying Tigers in China but no longer have this problem- i...

As it stands now for WaW, DE 636 – Germany: Form the Afrika Korps for service in the Mediterranean?- is the most trival DE ever. No one ever says "no" to this. A decision like DE 703 – Italy: Deploy II Corps in Abyssinia Or Italy? or DE 102 – UK: Deploy 7th Armoured in Egypt or the UK? in ...

To be fair, I think it is unfortunate that the UK has to DoW on the Solomons just to reinforce it against a Japanese amphibious unit right next to it. Also unfortunate that the UK has to DoW Iraq just to get the Lend Lease to USSR going. If one considers history/common sense the presence of japanese...

Good luck!

No change is needed- or if it is to be applied, please give expand the area that U.S. tensions would increase to beyond 16 hexes from Honolulu for Japan units, amphibs in particular. It should not be impossible for the US to defend Hawaii from Japan on their first attack. As it is, 3-4 amphibs posit...

My opponent hasn't played any turns at all. I don't know why one would sign up for the tournament if not intending to play.
There should be an entrance fee that is forfeited if one doesn't play after a certain amount of time.

I fear that these changes will imbalance the game against Russia. Already as Axis, the ability to use airpower in a winter, bad weather turned allowed me to capture Moscow in Dec 1942, leading to the USSR's surrender a year later. At expert level, the USSR is doomed and the Allies will have to resor...

My opponent hasn't played any turns at all yet- would it be possible to be paired up with someone else?

Disagree with the game designers on this one. Some variation is good, but..
maybe a house rule to disregard game results if no russian winter by 42.

Subs are quite powerful in this game- especially in the critical first few years of the war. I would be very careful about boosting their ability even more- this will hurt the Allies a lot. I think the game has it about right- subs are limited with battery life when diving so multiple attacks should...

Agree. The effects of national morale should be toned down a little in this game. It creates gamey, ahistorical distortions like you mention. Shifting to a neutral position vice an unconditional surrender makes sense to me. Would also like to see more options to "recover" national morale b...

New ELO game has started:

DmitryN (Axis) vs. Jackmck (Allies)

Usual ELO rules but Early attack on Japan permitted.

New ELO game: Race to Victory 39 scenario. ;) Taifun (Axis) vs Jackmck (Allies). Standard ELO rules. ELO Game ends fall 1942. Jackmck (Allies) lost to Taifun (Axis). I am very disappointed with this player. We used to play 1-2 turns per day but when things turned bad for the Allies he slowed sendin...

I'm still trying Allied strategies that keep Russia in the game. Haven't been that successful, but I have another idea to try.
I started a game- Race to Victory 39 scenario. Much obliged for an experienced Axis opponent.
