I see TF ships changing their target almost every turn (within the same target division). This is annoying, and needs looking at.

Also ships that have never been out of sight shouldnt revert to unidentified even at night - yes they are on the edge of visibility but it was a specific vessel class ...

I have searched but cannot find any reference to this: I have played the additional Air HQs 1943 campaign couple of times (vs AI), and the Barracuda II doesnt build, even though its entry in the data is 1943/1 to star, expanding to 3 per turn. This leaves the NAS sqds orphaned unless you just ignore ...

Think you are mixing your drinks. Hood was overdue rebuild, but was perfectly operational. PoW was still working up/fixing builders/design faults.

<t> So the game is flawed unless the combat effects can automatically take account of an army that was under orders to not provoke Hitler by doing anything to prepare? When else in the war were so many planes caught on the ground and so many troops not deployed when an offensive prepared in ...

<t> There is also a major fallacy in the assumption that any food that can be gleaned from a captured city is available for combat units. Not shown in the game are the hordes of admin troops and civilians that follow behind. How do they move? What do they eat? <br/>

I always love the number ...

Not a step back! This meant, for both the Russians and the Germans, defending the position at any cost. Unfortunately it is not possible to issue such an order in WITE. It would be very useful to have the possibility to graduate the ...

Ah - yes. i am rusty, although I dont recall the scenario setting zero priority for such important airbases in previous versions.

I have just come back to WitW, after W10 upgrade (clean install). I have noticed that neither Malta nor Gib have any fuel for some turns, even though getting good supply deliveries (and in Gib's case having massive stockpiles). Has this been reported before. Save available.

<t> A couple of things: <br/>
a) warbirds are never flown to their limits these days - or at least not by pilots who want to keep it and them in one piece, so this evidence cannot be taken at face value.<br/>
b) the ratings in the game are the 'applied' rating, that is the real effect they have on ...

it works out fine. Key are two steps, first leave the med air dispersed and on auto. Second Wellingtons+mines from the other air groups really push up interdiction over key areas.<br/>

I agree its a very gamey move, I'd be happier if ...

And no you don’t need to worry about them not being available later, destroyed units will reappear in UK some weeks later as depleted ones. The VP hurt though and you don’t need them so I cancel the drops usually...

You mentioned rockets for NP. Assuming you mean Naval Patrol, do you find the rockets are more effective than mines? I've always used mines because I assumed they were the natural "naval" weapon, but haven't looked at any rationale behind ...

<t> I have never done a campaign where I just bomb railcards consistently but tactical bombing of them does make a real difference. For instance I aim to have every yard in Italy red before winter 43. This really slows supply movement, forces use of vehicles to haul supply etc. Doesn’t matter how ...

<t> Oh, but I do think I said rockets for Interdiction/NP. I think the ground units bomb effectiveness has been tested somewhere - logically 500lbers should be better than 1000, but maybe I remember someone saying it should be rather than it is in game..<br/>

If anyone is interested the ...

As I am just about to finish playing an 18th month long 1944 campaign game as the Allies, I couldn't resist a parting comment - something I've commented on before ad nauseam. FIX this incredibly laborious air patrol routine! I simply shouldn't ...

Playing the Allies in the 1944 D-Day scenario. I've been playing this game for over a year now. I've complained before and I will complain again - the most aggravating and debilitating part of this game is managing naval patrols. If I don't ...

<t> The AI has always had variation in its strategies. It was a long while ago but I have had what I nicknamed 'Panzer Armee Sicily' used against me - the AI moved 2 PG and 1 Pz Div to Sicily and fought me for it. I enjoyed this, because I bottled them up in the NE of the island, interdicted the ...

<t> The other way to deal with HQs with huge amounts of SU is to move them on the 'hire purchase' principle. Move out the majority of the SU, either by sending them one at a time to valid HQs already overseas, or by using a 'stay at home HQ', then ship the lightened HQ. You can then reunite the SUs ...
