<r>Hmmm...in WIR a squad's loss, in reality, means the loss of about 30-50 men. Let's say 50. (look at the TOE of a normal div and divide by the number of squads, you'll get a good estimate). <br/>
<br/>
So, a loss of 48.000 squads means the loss of about 2.4 million men. Quite historical...<br ...

<r>The AI still cheats a little, mostly :<br/>
<br/>
- it uses different rules when marching units,<br/>
- it has a better knowledge of the strength of your units than a human player does.<br/>
<br/>
I have eliminated most of the cheats, and the computer now has the same replacements a human player ...

<r>You simply had very bad luck John !<br/>
This can happen, but the chance is 0.3 % !<br/>
It is not a new feature. It's always been present in the game.<br/>

<r>Hello Paul !<br/>
I am the programmer of the new version. <br/>
<br/>
The manual is wrong. The displayed value has never been an estimate of the CV, but rather, of the number of enemy division-equivalents (and aircraft groups for HQs). <br/>

<r>yes, pure fighters can execute these missions only when escorting bombers. This is a design choice. <br/>
<br/>
Their load and cannon (anti-tank) values are not useless. They use them when escorting (general strafing), and also when supporting combat in the ground combat phase. But not as ...

<r>Hehe....bad luck John !<br/>
This already happened in the original game, and I have changed nothing to this feature.<br/>

You are right about the North African problem. Fortunately, the Italian front routines have been altered, so that if you take the risk of stripping this front, you will be likely to lose Africa. <br/>
The old version of the ...

The fronts seemed to be fairly stable if you gave them the required amounts in the 42 and 43 campaigns, but for some reason the 43 one is totally askew. I wouldn't even dare to play 44.<e>[/b]</e></B><e>[/quote]</e ...

<r>Hello Gentlemen(/Ladies?),<br/>

I am looking for a group of playtesters to play the impending WIR patches. <br/>
Please don't reply to this too casually. This means devoting some time to it every day or week. <br/>
It means starting a good old campaign of War in Russia (I'll ask for some to ...

<t>Hello all,<br/>
<br/>
I am the programmer for the WIR DOS update. I will be glad to read any suggestions, ideas, proposals concerning this old but superb game. We will also be looking for playesters.<br/>

Regarding the windows vs DOS issue, I must say it is pretty settled (at least for the ...
