It should be level 3 imo (Japan needs it, and lvl 1+2 are too weak still), but otherwise I agree, a houserule can likely fix it for MP games.

another potential rule could be to ban the use of the cruise function on LRATs.

transports don't have ZoC though, so you need a big ring, otherwise just displacing one transport gives you a path into the carriers. Also Transports don't have the surprise attack value, which is such a big annoyance for me. I know that ship is there, but because I don't have LoS into it, I have no ...

Upon returning to World at War after three years I've noticed that invasions have gotten out of hand. I was able to use level 5 landing craft to obliterate anything on coasts and islands without losses. Like using invulnerable futuristic rockets.

I would only incur losses if I actually landed ...

battleships don't give supply, I think that's Commander. You need to land an HQ, preferably 2, and capture a city.

nuclear bombs are simulated by event, not by units.

Great info Umeu! What are your thoughts on Sea Lion? Have you tried it against a decent player and how do you get set-up for it?


I think Sealion before Barbarossa is not good. It gives too much mobilization bonus to USSR & US,.


It turns out that in 99% of cases, the USSR enters the war ...

I think Sealion before Barbarossa is not good. It gives too much mobilization bonus to USSR & US, and the UK usually doesn't really need to be anywhere else as ...

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 ...

I’m not sure exactly what you changed. Maybe it’s not working as you intend. But in my experience, 3/4 games it’ll happen in January 1942. Otherwise it’s likely in February. I know it’s possible for it to happen later, but I haven’t seen it. And based on how other people play axis, I’m quite ...

The war is over. The ash has settled, it's time to rebuild from the embers up.

There are stories of armed men going door to door in Chicago, rounding up people who do not pass the purity test. Those with unwanted opinions disappear into dungeons and darkness. It's apparently the same in Washington ...

I meant that it’s not really unpredictable now, and most players retreat their valuable units.



I see no way in which players can now predict this since we changed how it works in v1.20.00, except on the basis of "it hasn't happened yet, so it will likely happen next turn". Unless I am ...

In my experience it still just mostly triggers in January or February. Usually at the end of the first 1942 Russian turn, but sometimes at the end of first German turn in 1942.



Thanks for the explanation Umeu. Yes, making the trigger of the Soviet Winter event unpredictable is a great ...

I think it's both.

Attacking out of a marsh is bad, and I think attacking into a marsh is bad as well.

I think it's 0.5 modifier for attacks out of a marsh hex. But not sure if it's the same for attacks into a marsh, probably there's no modifier for it, it might just be caused by the defense ...

The v1.20 update includes some major changes that I wasn't aware of, for example:

o Subs in silent mode no longer spot along their movement path. Only on their final destination. Ouch, my subs were finding nada except destroyers. Now I know why.


I think that's a buff to subs. You can now go ...

Give me back my islands!

Thank you for the excellent updates. The game sounds awesome. When the game is a wrap, please let us know your opinion on the absence of LRATs. Did it have a positive or negative effect on the game? I think long range invasions are ahistorical and are detrimental to the game. Operation Torch was ...

4. If a player loses a game but lasts into 1946 or beyond they gain a small bonus (6 points against a higher ranked player, 5 points for an equal ranked player and 4 points against a lower ranked player).



maybe this one should be changed to reaching 1945 in case the scenario is race to ...

The lack of LRATs in the Pacific mean that island hopping is a must. Wake is deeply frustrating. The predicted odds indicate it should die every turn and yet it survives with 1 strength point remaining. The Allies must press on soon or they will have no chance at the negotiating table.



Yeah ...

January, 1944

The 2nd Battle for Britain has begun. American and Mexican troops seized Belfast from a hastily equipped Italian corps, sacrificed to buy time for tanks to arrive from the East Front. The joint USN and RN operation saw several submarines sent to the bottom of the sea, but the Axis ...

For a few turns already, the maritime bomber in England won't raid the German convoy from Norway despite being in range and there being no other units raiding the convoy down to 0 first.

Is that WAD (if so, why?) or a bug?

Is the Maritime Bomber set to raid?
