<r> Playing WIF PBEM for 7 years now using both CWIF, Cyberboard and Vassal I think that early in the war during winter only 1 email per impulse might be needed and maybe 3 mails during summer impulses. One or two during emails at End of turn.<br/>
Further on the meails might be 5 in a turn or ...

I think patrice suggestion goes in line with the bomber range question so i vote for the suggested division.

But, weakening the wallies side may not be a good idea either, because it could create an unwanted France 39 effect. The No ZoC rule has principaly this effect. This makes attacking in surprise so much successful, that it is very tempting to attack ...

I like the solution as well.
As long as you can change your mind during an impulse, I think it is good.

Also, DIV sized units should not be affected by this rule, they are too small and their factors are too small too.

A shame I would have thought that the 4-2 Art would be one of the fastest units to advance to ...

<t> Combat aginst enemy with more than 0 in combat factors would work, prevents the invasion against 0 notinals. <br/>

I think you would have to play using oil with this rule otherwise you would make sure to use your aircraft every turn to manage to get them to ace status, you might see that ...

What is the definition of combat an overrun, an invasion against a notional, an attack of a partisan?

To avoid cheesy moves like invading empty out of supply island hexes I think a combat needs to have +20 or less on the 2d10 table or less than 10-1 odds on 1D10.

<t> I like the rules but would maybe tone them down a bit.<br/>
<br/>
Remove the crack level. +2 on a few key units is maybe to powerful.<br/>
<br/>
A loss only pulls a unit back from Ace to Normal a Normal still stays at normal and is not reduced to green, otherwise a side that starts losing ...

Why not just allow the player to set how messages from other players are brought to his attention? If you want noise, ask for it, if you want popups, ask for that.<br/>

8th and last in the series. This is a new page - I hadn't drawn it the last time I posted the sequence of play. I need to go over this in detail, tracking it through the code and comparing the diagram to what the code is actually ...

Among the problems were how to place the surviving French units inside Vichy and that the Vichy units were later free to leave Metro Vichy into Occupied France etc. Also the Dakar Mil showed up in the CW force pool.<br/>
The rolls for ...

There were only a few aspects of the VIchy stuff that was not implemented or functioning correctly in the latest CWiF.

I had a lot of issues with Vichy when playing the CWiF version.

<t> If you talk about Air ground support <br/>
See section 11.16.4 Attacker first fly groundsupporting bombers and then the defender fly defending fighters and bombers after that the attacker fly intercepting fighters.<br/>

If the Japanese can tie down enough Chinese units elsewhere they can easily arrange for the occupation of IndoChina to open up the road to Kunming - and if the Chinese pare away too many units to defend that route, the Japanese can switch ...

I like tis option as well

Second options is much better as the picture will be viewed in very low zoom.
