Afaik the Winter event will happen automatically in spring 1942 if has not triggered by then.
If not, I'd consider it a real bug.

If it does trigger in Spring 1942 it is really bad news for the Germans because it delays the restart of combat operations.
The boosted forward HQs get damaged. Their ...

btw, might be good to know, but conversely, you can't attack enemy units in neutral ports/hexes either. This can happen for example when Japan DoW's the UK, but not India. Japan won't be able to attack any British units in India or their ports without declaring war on India.

China might need to declare, and the US units can't attack it because they are in a neutral country.

I thought I’d publish some feedback anyway in the hope that it might be useful to TL11 & others. These are my opinions only and others will of course disagree. :)

I only briefly got to see the Axis research position before the game crashed but noted the following:

Production at L1. Production ...

yeah I wondered about it a while ago and almost made a post about it. But this should probably be added to the ELO rules on the main page, and maybe to the copy paste with ELO "(house)rules" like No diplo on majors etc.

Can someone please explain how a game can end with a draw?
To my knowledge there can be an Axis or Allies major or minor victory.
If neither of those occurs, there is a tactical victory if Axis holds at least one of the key cities. Have I missed something?


The strategy guide says something like ...

ELO Result:

LoneRunner (Axis) defeats Firsteds (Allies) 1943

The Axis adopted a risky strategy of focusing almost entirely on the three capitals, ignoring Stalingrad and the Caucasus. Not even taking Rostov. Russia surrendered upon the fall of Perm. Meanwhile, Japan was crushed by combined ...

Churchill: Montgomery, give me back my legions!

The BEF is no more.

Their fathers stood on the left in 1914, as they had again in 1940. The first British boots on French soil, the last to leave the shores of Brittany. They had been the van and the rear. They had thwarted the ...

In my above suggestion concerning tactical battles system for the Strategic command engine, I forgot that : It would be fine to have a "reaction fire system", that could be set "on/off" (depending of what player want)

If "on", it would happend that :

London has fallen.

Thanks Umeu it's been an epic game already. It's now April 1941 and the Axis still cling on to London although the Allies will probably retake it next turn. The Axis is generally scrambling to prep for Barbarossa and Pearl Harbor. The clock is ticking because USSR and USA ...

New ELO game started:

Firsteds (Axis) v Umeu (Allies). Usual rules. Let's go!


Great game! Great you are back for a game Umeu :D


The Idol is back!! Great news for the community! Have a good game and good luck firsteds, you'll need it :D


It might be me who needs that luck! I can see ...

Having said all that, and because I am already here, I have set up a game with me as Allies.

So if you are reading this and want to play a rated game as Axis, please see the server.

Password is - double - so anybody reading this can join.


I think this one is still up.

I'm maxed out already ...

I have posted a - Axis - soft - No house rules.

Pass - ELOone

Open to anyone who'd like to give me my first ELO game.


Tigertony also has a game up as allies. You 2 could play, if you haven't played before yet.

@pekka, well, it's an interesting game for sure. Unexpected and unwelcome ...

if you also control the railroad through the Caucasus (& Rostov or Stalingrad), then it might appear like you're moving through Istanbul still? Otherwise, not sure.

New ELO game: wevilc allies v Old_Shane axis


This game resulted in a stalemate, all fully covered in my AAR. For those who are unaware, there is a conflict between the victory conditions in the strategy guide & the game scripts. By gentleman's agreement the result is as stated.


OK I have ...

In the victory scripts.


Thanks Bill.

When I said above I would & could have taken Seoul had I known, I forgot Shane would & could have devoted more resources to its defence. Anyway, what happens next? Will the scripts be amended or the VCS in the strategy guide?

A funny thought occurs ...

you need to reduce it to below 5 strength first, so it loses its ZOC

great AAR and valiant effort by Pete who has been improving so much.

Can you post the end date? I lost track of the years. Was it 44 or 45? I'm surprised Pete did not play on to claim the ELO bonus points. Yes, Axis would eventually lose but they were far from defeated when the game ended. They ...

This is the point at which I would love to see your evaluation of the merits of an Afrika Korps campaign. Is it worth it? Most of the top World at War players recommend that the Germans invade North Africa but I always wonder why.

Certainly Pete has conducted an excellent campaign. He severely ...

lvl 3 panzers in 41 in NA :O that must be some kind of record lol.

Usually lvl 3 doesn't arrive till early 42.



I'd never faced the 'All in' Allied defence of France before but I figured as long as I didn't recklessly expose my tanks I should just be able to chew through the defending units. Up ...
