Thank-you. I'll do that.

My computer crashed. I went to Matrix page and I see I can download version 3.01 and 3.02 as well as 7? Will installing these get the game to 7 or do I need to go look for 4, 5 etc?

Not certain how to implement it, but I would like to halve shore bombardment strength for defenders. Way too effective as is, and being an unplanned action, as opposed to offensive, I think penalties are merited.

Yes, the TRS in France counts as part of Foreign Troop Commitment.

That's a nice-looking table.

Japan at war with China and Italy with anyone fulfills that criteria then?

Finally, the port has to be in a territory, not a controlled minor if I recall... is that correct? Otherwise an HQ is needed? And if so, what territorial port is available?

Thanks, by the way.

In the event of using Italian ports, they would both have to be at war with the same MP (s), yes?

In the games I have played to date, I have not used the limited supply rule. In my next game, I will be. This radically changes whether or not the oil in Persian is of any use to Japan, if only for a turn. In the basic rules, a simple supply path will allow its use for reorganization. It seems to be...

Thank you... Likely start this weekend.

Some thoughts, though... I think the allies stopped building naval units a year too early, except for cruisers. The loss af a couple of essexes and not enough fast BBs slowed them down in the pacific. As well, TRS production should have gone on longer as there was a slow down getting air assets to t...

I think I am going to call the game at this point... The USA has run into a rules misinterpretation as to MAR ARM Div not acting as a marine when it comes to attacking from one island to another which makes some pacific actions pointless this turn. I will be starting up a new game soon with some cha...

If that's the case, there goes that plan...

Just checking if this is a bug... I want a stack of MAR to attack Truk from an adjacent Island. The 2 MAR on the island are able to attack no problem; however, for some reason, the MAR ARM Div on the island cannot make the attack. Is this a bug, or have I missed something in the rules? The game file...

Yeah... had this same situation come up. Steve's answer was I should have put it in a nationalist city.

You'll have to edit the file to do so.

I would suggest that if all relevant rules were posted to the ai, it could come up as a decent referee

Just out of interest, I posted the whole initial post to Bing chatAI Here is the result... and not saying anything about how definitive it is, but it could be a useful tool... "Based on the information I have, I think you are correct that you should have been able to choose which winterised uni...

July/Aug 1945 Con't Axis Impulse #2 Germany and Italy take a Land Action while Japan takes a combined. A Japanese NAV moves into the 4-box of the Timor Sea. During Naval Moves, it is joined by a CA. The Japanese move an AMPH into the China Sea and pick up a MIL from Nagoya. No Naval Activations are...

I usually have 3 in the 4 box, 3 in the 1 box and 3 in the 0 box with a sprinkling of cvls. This breaks down the farther I get from Axis SUB bases. Is certainly my goal in faroes, n. Atlantic and cape st Vincent and the Med, if I have not abandoned it. I try my best to meet that number in the other ...

July/Aug 1945 Con't Allied impulse #1 Con't Continuing the Land Attacks... On the Russian Front, an attack on Poznan causes loss to the attacker of 1 and 1/2 disorganized while the German MOT is lost. Near Kotowice, in Germany, a breakthough destroys both units and has no ill effects on the Russian...

July/Aug 1945 Con't Allied impulse #1 Con't Continuing the Land Attacks... Next, 2 hexes NE of Marseilles, the hex is easily taken, killing the German MOT div there. NW of Marseilles, the French army attacks and automatically takes the OOS white print INF across the river without loss and with a br...
