<t>I thought WIR was a game. My usual PBEM opponent and I milk the game for all it's worth. If you want the Finns to be aggressive let them be aggressive. (Maybe they can beat up on the Swedes??). <br/>

I always prefer paying the Russians, and I hate the Finns in the game. But if my opponent ...

<t>I've gotten clobbered every time I've played Russian against my human Hun opponent. At even level it wasn't even close. I did better at max help but Nazis were singing the Horst Wessel song in Moscow by winter. I tried holding western lines probably too far out and too long, but the idea of ...

<t>I've got to admit to being very frustrated in playing later versions of WIR because it seems noone knows where accurate info is available. It's pretty tough to play a game when you have only a marginal idea on how even the basic design is calculated. <br/>

Mine was trying to play a good German opponent in 41 at even level. Never had a chance. He was drunk in the Moscow dance halls before you could say "vodka."

Has anyone actually beaten a human German even level in '41, or am I more incompetent than even I assume??:)
