Re: The World at War ELO Tournament

Just play the 42 High Tide scenario; no gambits, little diplomacy, no early surrenders, a real slugfest from the first turn!

Re: What music are you listening to now?

Don't forget "Born on the Bayou" with many happy days down in the ole Louisiana swamps.

Now come on JJR, you've got to listen to Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft do Bittersweet Symphony in Hyde Park and then tell me they are not good?

Re: Supply

It's OK Bill. Got to the next turn and supply was what it should be (8). This anomaly has occurred many times before, especially in Russia, I just decided to post this one, NBD!

Supply

I can't find an explanation for the supply 6 on the second HQ. This is for the future supply status, second S function after transporting Richie from Tripoli to Algiers. These are the only two HQs in the theater, both full strength.

Can US/UK stalemate Axis without USSR?

Never tried this before, late 44, Italy just took down USSR (usually auto-surrender). Hotseat, I'm teched up better than the Axis and am on the continent(got Paris), Japs not doing so well, no major losses either way.

Can the Allies stalemate the Axis sans Reds?

Re: Enough of blah-blah threads, when can I buy this puppy?

OK Bill I'm patient but is there any new game mechanics to look forward to or is this just a bigger map and the same old sprites and SC3 features we've seen for the last 5 years?

Re: City defense, is AA even worth it?

Put an AA upgraded unit in an upgraded town, city, fortification etc. and park an upgraded AA unit next to it. What does that spell?

If the unit is an upgraded infantry, like special forces, with an entrenchment, it is an impregnable position.

Like Port Moresby.

Already own it, a good dividend payer, but for future positions, my eyes are on CVX. Needs to pull back a little and then pull the trigger! :)

Re: Russian winter and USSR-US power balance

Seems like you're working yourself up to the challenge Bill. Better yet, since you guys have created the Pac War campaign, why not follow up with the Russian scenario at the division scale.

Anybody for "War in the East", SC version?

Re: Different how?

The original SC was published by Battlefront and had hexes. It was more of a Clash of Steel upgrade and sadly it has not changed as far as the combat mechanics of one attack, one unit per hex format from the beginning, like 24 years ago.

Still it is a great game but eventually we would all like to ...
