I may be the 1000th to tell you this, but still - what a beautiful girl!

Though the USA and the USSR weren't enemies yet, they had certainly become rivals. Both knew they were winning the war. Cooperating like that was less likely than ever before.

Unfortunately it wasn't the long lance but the substantially less powerful (533mm) submarine-only torpedo.

<t> Initiate a "second Fighter Emergency Program" by switching ALL your factories to Me-262 production as soon as the plane becomes available. You can have 100+ production, enough to convert a fighter group every other turn. Me-262s even at 40 exp do alright vs. all but the best Allied planes, and ...

<t> No, impossible. You can win in the sense of successfully defending Germany and avoiding an unconditional surrender. Of course you cannot take the war back into Russia. You control the skies with the Me-262 and your tanks are marginally better, but the Soviet manpower is so great, their squad ...

<t> Unfortunately units don't loose nearly enough readiness for overstacking. You can stuff 6 panzer divisions in your PzKorps and still have 80% readiness every turn, especially with a little special supply, for 500+ assault power. There is no way the Soviets can put enough power in a corps to stop ...

<r> I agree. In my (very limited) experience, I've not seen the game abused in a way those two rules would prevent.<br/>

Also, I'd like to contribute the rules we're using to deal with the overstacking problem in a way different and I believe<br/>

The thing was specifically designed for charging across the mutilated landscape very soon after a nuclear blast. That armor is there to protect the crew from the radiation first of all.

Not fair! I can't read Kanji!

The caption reads "Our Iron Lions unit that fought valiantly on Saipan."
