RE: What hardware and operating system do you expect to use to play MWIF?

<r> Wifi/wireless is usually not where the bottleneck is in a network if you are working over the internet. The only time you really notice a slow down inside a network when using wireless/wifi is file copying.<br/>

RE: What hardware and operating system do you expect to use to play MWIF?

RE: General thoughts on strategy for CW - Knock Out Italy

As long as the AI knows necessary number of convoys, expected losses, replacement time for losses plus a fixed convoy "slack" it should be able to work out the convoy needs. No need for a fixed construction schedule.

Is this something the AI will do?

RE: Computer Failure - I need advice

I guess no one has messed with the voltage settings... Have you checked the PSU fuses?

Another option, maybe radical, would be to contact the PSU manufacturer and see how the fans are supposed to work.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Maybe avoiding punctuation marks for most number dividing (aside from the decimal) is the way to go (so for one million you write 1 000 000 instead of 1,000,000 or 1.000.000).

RE: All female regiments in WW2

There is another way of looking at it, basically men are more expendable than women. A country's population depends more on the number of women than the number of men.

You have to be pretty desperate to risk your women in a conflict, due its demographic impact.

RE: Weather

If it is the same as WiF then better it alone.

But you do get frost (around 0 degrees) in the Ethiopian highlands and in Zambia (i.e. North Rhodesia).
