Re: What will be the next game?

To do global WW2 in this model, you would need an accurate OOB....of literally every ship, frieghter, tanker, barge, and coastal boat. On planet earth 80 years ago. All of it.

Then, every plane, every squadron.

Finally, every military formation down to the company and squad level, and then have ...

Re: Balearics Island scenario 7 republican cant take palma

I've played PBEM the first few months now 4 times on both sides. Palma doesn't fall unless it runs out of supplies. That's the only way to take it.

Assuming nothing at all gets through it takes to about November for the supplies to run out

If the Nationalists can get supplies there, it's ...

Re: CTD when Clicking on Certain Unit(S)


I was able to confirm it is the side bar. If you turn it off or switch to "full list" you can click the hex with no problem.
Thanks to your save Bill should be able to fix it very quick.


This is still not fixed BTW.....still crashes when clicking on these Nationalist Divisional Units in late ...

Best ASW Device: Mines, combined with dumb Subs

I think a change needs to be made in Sub activity.

Subs will "follow" a TF into an enemy port, attempting to attack it. You cannot set your subs to do otherwise.

This becomes a problem if the defending player is smart enough to use mines; mined ports are deadly for subs. Sub follows the TF into a ...

Re: Fuel versus naval fuel


I just noticed in the full campaign game - playing as Nationalist, in 1937 all the fuel supply depots changed to naval fuel - even far inland. anyone else notice and is it a problem? thanks


It's not a problem; it's all fuel. You toggled the display value by accident. Just toggle it back. No ...

I'm currently not able to run the turn as I only have your turn 130 save.
I assume you run this turn and then give orders.
Qball, can you send me the turn you sent ? Should be turn 130.

Re: Airgroup unable to take Replacements


Depends on game rule for taking replacements. Cannot tell for certain from a screenshot, but the info would be consistent with rules of "pool" or "device shipping" and the next german pool access being too far.

Re: A Las Barricadas! A Republican PBEM AAR Q-Ball (R) vs. Przemek (N)

Hrafnagud put together a good summary; one issue that is nearly impossible to model unfortunately is Republican disfunction. The Republican Government was not unified at all, with many different viewpoints. Many ships and units had very strong committees of sailors and soldiers who had alot of input ...

Re: Movement questions


Is entering enemy hex with enemy unit there in movement operation mode not risky?
dont they get slaughtered?


Or maybe if unit moves in movement mode but with defensive posture it wont start fighting but just get a foothold in new hex to start fight another day?

Re: Movement questions


I am trying to understand some aspects of moving Land Combat Units (LCUs) around.

If I am moving my unit from one hex neighbouring an enemy unit to another hex neighbouring an enemy unit, is my unit somehow influenced by their zone of control? Or does it depend on the border of the hex they ...

Re: Republic Production Notes


Broadly speaking:

CNT (anarchists): the largest of the Republican militia, 50,000. High morale but very low military effectiveness.
UGT (socialist trade-unionist): 30,000
MAOC/PCE (Stalinist communist): 10,000 (initially MAOC, then growing into PCE) - probably the most militarily effective, the ...

Re: Cutting away supply from enemy units


how do you project control on those hexes to SE of Nationalist unit?

You wrote that he can move there. But will that move be longer then moving to NE because over there is no projection of your power?


He cannot move to the SE in the original screenshot, because it is fully controlled by me ...

Re: Supply and surrounding


I seriously don’t get it.

I had a 10,000-strong Republican force surrounded in the mountains. They were 3–4 hexes away from any other Republican force. They were not in a town. To make sure they were cut off, I put a strong force in every single hex surrounding them.

For 10 days, their supply ...
