RE: positive feedback and ideas

<t> Alright, I have an idea. It is both positive toward getting this done and gives direction. Let's contact Harry Rowland and see whether he feels the way many of us do, that Matrix has neglected both the product and the public for many months (and now has the cheek to tell us to be chirpy), and ...

Fighter Speed at Start

<t> How is the Battle of Britain possible at start, if Germany's fighter speed begins at one. They had lots of fighters over southern England in the summer-fall of 1940, didn't they? But it is two zones to cross the channel and bomb England, so there is a bit an an anomaly. How about starting ...

Optimal Supply Production

<t> It seems that there are many crises that can occur in this game. The worst so far is having operations grind to a halt due to lack of supply. I have managed to do this even with advanced supply turned off.<br/>

Is there an optimal x-supply per turn for each of the powers? How can you ...

RE: Delicate Question

So is there a 30 day money back guarantee?

Seeing as how I am forbidden in reselling something, it sounds like I just paid a $60 one time rent fee for a piece of software I no longer want.

Why hasn't Blockbuster thought of this?

RE: Delicate Question

<t> Yes, in my case "all sales are final" has more meaning... Last game I buy from Matrix if that's the policy. It also irks me that I gave Matrix an opportunity to resolve this privately, and they haven't replied in the least. They could have at least clarified the policy to me by private email ...

RE: Delicate Question

<t> I read in the EULA that the license is non-transferable, and no mention of re-sale or explicit permission to re-sell is given. Does this kill my ability to re-sell this game?!?<br/>

I definitely hope not; not only for my current situation, but future buys from Matrix, since ability to re ...

RE: Delicate Question

Delicate Question

<t> I find myself in an economic crunch; about three weeks ago I bought this game, and I'm selling darn near everything out of my PC game collection. Since I only bought the download version is there a legit way to re-sell? I want to honor Matrix and the law, so I'm asking. If this isn't the right ...

RE: Spherical global map

Use a Fuller Projection. It's a flat map that can be constructed into a globe; it has equal area projection in both latitude and longitude.

Typhoons Revisited

In a 48 hour period beginning 18 December 44, the U.S. lost 3 destroyers sank and seven other ships were seriously damaged. CVL Monterey lost 18 aircraft and ...

How will non-combat losses be represented? They fit will within the scale of the game, and they were significant in scope.<br/>

Engineers Then

<t>Perhaps base force isn't the right term. They functioned as bearers, especially around port facilities. Perhaps they could be represented as engineers, or boost the support rating or unloading speed in an established port?<br/>

There should be some way to fairly represent them - they were ...

Native Troop Formations

There were irregular forces operating on many of the Solomon Islands;<br/>

There were a fair number of natives helping as "base force" troops - in the hundreds and maybe thousands as far ...

A Little More Research

<t>Lord Howe Island, in the Ontong Java Atoll, still does not have an airstrip. However, it has an anchorage, probably equivalent to a size 1 port in UV. After looking at a few photos, it is evident that the island itself is quite inhospitable to building an airstrip. There is no flat space suitable ...

Missing Geography?

<t>I couldn't help but notice that Ontong Java Atoll and Roncador Reef are not featured on the UV map. An oversight? Morison's volume "The Struggle for Guadalcanal," indicates that they were used as rendezvous points for Japanese ships, and they would present a considerable obstacle to navigation ...

Why Not?

Then why not just a 1 May starting point that takes the Midway results as historical?

With the hard-coding of scenario 17, we aren't even given the option of editing this in.

Would Matrix consider providing a scenario 17 with the historical off-theatre results?
