<t> I've been following this with a lot of interest. One thing I'm really puzzled by is the debate about blockading versus 'sweeping the seas' at the same time. As I understand it a blockade in this era would consist of a main fleet in a central position and one or more 'inshore squadrons' who would ...

<r> Be kind of hard for him to see it this turn as a miscue broke the blockade and his trade went back up.<br/>
<br/>
One thing I reeeaaaly hope you fix, and that is the randomly disappearing depot sharing agreement <SM sm="00000106.gif">[sm=00000106.gif]</SM> That pretty much cost me my main army ...

<t> I suspect this is 'the other side of the hill' to Peter's post #14, hopefully to provide a fuller picture of how the naval mechanics are working. <br/>
<br/>
If, as I suspect, Peter and I are talking about the same campaign then the Dutch fleet was split in 2 and the the fleet that beat the ...

Hi. Please add me to the list! Totally green newbie so a smaller country would be best to start

I must be on a grander scale.... (besides my waistline). I would love to see a computer version of the old Vietnam game as well as GDW's Europa computerized. A really good strategic Rome game would also have me drooling.

<r> I do not think it really matters who was in command or which strategy was used, broad or narrow (ducks to affix flame retardent underwear). No major port equals no supplies equals stuck army and lots of time for German reorganization and counterstrike. If there was one thing they excelled at it ...

Used to play the game lo those many years ago as a Canadian in Oz. Also acquaintance from work used to play on the French team and I watched a game with him in the bar in Dusseldorf. Was the same rugby I played but could barely understand it, rules have changed![&:]

I'll bite... what's an All Black. Sounds like something that'll get you prison time here.[&:][:-]

<t> About 3-6 months then falling back to 95 or so, assuming no major upsets. Don't gloat too loud boys, as a manager in export I'm thinking which several of you to fire so we can be more productive. Also noting those cheaper US imports are hammering my home sales. May be just a few more with lots ...

<t> Started with Blitzkrieg, then AH Russian Campaign, Napoleon at Waterloo. Anzio was just awesome at the time (degrading units!) but a pain to set up. How little I knew what was coming. Midway was fun. Discovered SPI when I started University in Montreal via Strategy 1 and Blitzkrieg Module System ...

<t> Guess I'll throw in my two cents. Personally I rate this game several big notches above SC1, haven't tried SC2 or variants, nor am I likely to with this one on the hard drive. AI not really great but it can surprise (arriving in front of Moscow at 2/3 to 1/2 strength will give you cause for ...

Nice to see that fantasy is alive and well. For about the last 35 years its been [>:][>:]. Whats going to change now?

<t> I've run into this a couple of times, usually in 1942 and on the higher Allied settings. Teaches great respect around Moscow. The AI seems capable of countering with a couple of supertanks which can kill a full strength panzer with one hit. It forced me to pay a lot of attention to upgrading ...

Will&nbsp;the patch will also allow the game to work on Vista? I have this laptop for travel you see....

Not entirely sure but I think this is his way of bumping the post up to the top so someone is more likely to reply. Doesn't want it to die I guess

<t> Nah. Got to blow the rust off somehow. Back to the original topic. I am wondering if the three techs in each branch function to cancel each other out. Sort of rock paper scissors thing. Is there one tech that the allies can research to even up the tank duels? And how does organization in the ...

<t> targul want to thank you for the info about cwie. Hadn't known it was around. Too bad about the programmer, ver 2 looks real interesting. Did not know DG had all the SPI stuff, shows how out of touch I've gotten since the almighty computer (and work and life and...)Going down the games list took ...

S'Okay Irish. I'll find a way out of the pit I've dug for myself, just as soon as I find the shovel, that is.....[&:] BTW, [:@]means a couple of things, but gloomy ain't one of 'em!

<t> Ah well we can't all be polite pc northerners. Know what you mean, tho. Playing my first ever pbem with him and its just amazing how many different ways I can think of to bless the lad (wishing him all warm and toasty, very toasty). They do say humility is good for you. But this much?[:@]Think I ...

Neither. He seems to be differently enabled. Plays a mean game tho
