New ELO game begins:

petedalby (Axis) vs Pekkavilamoura (Allies)

Game ends in January 1946 with an Axis Decisive Victory with the fall of Canberra.

Fun game - great turn rate & comms from Pekkavilamoura.

I believe so. Taking up a defensive position where the attacker has to come via a Marsh seems to be quite effective.

“All is fair in love & war…”

But if you want a nice friendly game it’s good to agree on things which might unbalance the game.

I had a game once where my opponent embarked the 2 USA & the Panama garrisons onto transports and then parked them outside Vladivostok. As a result Japan could not ...

If Turkey is considered Russian territory, could that be the issue.

Spot on. They are uncooperative allies. It doesn't matter who diplo'd Turkey - they align with Russia. Mongolia is the same.

I think you've just added weight to the original post.

Sounds about right. I think China is an uncooperative Ally.

New ELO game begins:

petedalby (Axis) vs Pekkavilamoura (Allies)

Usual ELO rules apply.

I had a glimmer of hope when Manilla was cut-off & surrounded by 3 US Special Forces units with the air force still strong & the Royal Navy in support of the USN but somehow the order to bomb the most northern Philippines port was misunderstood or lost in transit. Elite Japanese armies were rushed ...

New ELO game begins - Race to Victory.

Umeu (Axis) vs petedalby (Allies)

Game ended with an Axis Minor Victory in August 1945 at game's end. This does Umeu a major injustice as I was completely thrashed with every major Allied power surrendered. :oops:

Great game against an excellent opponent ...

My drubbing at the hands of Umeu is almost over and I am therefore looking for a new ELO game/opponent.

I'm happy to play either side and I'm open to any additional preferred house rules.

If this is of interest please send me a PM.

Thanks

Hey Pete, I found details of the 1.20.00 update in the WaW Steam discussions dated June 29, 2025 authored by Death. Here they are:

Great work - thanks Bill! Not sure how I missed this.

But does that mean that Maritime Bombers now have a longer range than Strat Bombers? If so, doesn't seem quite ...

This is the Steam Update page:


Any idea where I can find a summary for v1.20.00 please?

Great - thanks Bill. Probably a bit more realistic.

In my current game, I have Long Range Level 5 but my Strategic Bombers only appear to have a bombing range of 18 hexes rather than 23 as previously. Did I miss a change that reduced their bonus to just 2 hexes per LR level rather than 3?

The Guide still states 3. Challenge ID is 501127 if required ...

I've enjoyed the game without LRATs. It's more of a challenge but Umeu demonstrated that Japan can achieve all of its objectives without them with careful planning. Hawaii was never threatened which is probably as it should be.

The game is almost over (has been for a while truth be told) but I've ...

Wake finally falls...

Much appreciated - thanks Bill.

It's pretty dire. :oops:

China surrendered in Dec 43. The resultant plunder will allow Japan to rebuild its forces.

Allied successes have been few & far between and often at too high a cost.

All of Europe, with exception of Sweden & Switzerland are under the jackboot. Axis income exceeds that of ...

My corps is in full supply. I have sufficient MPPs. Why can't I reinforce?

It really is as bad as it sounds.

German losses from winter were the lowest I've ever seen. Most / all high value units were withdrawn to warmer climes.

The lack of LRATs did not stop Japan achieving most / all of its objectives. Flawless planning & execution by Umeu. Only the 2 US subs & the ...
