It seems silly that ships cannot move from the Carribean & North american east coast directly to the Mediteranean. Instead they have to go thru west africa or northern europe first. What is the justification for this?

It;s USA. I did a workaround by putting most of my ships in mothballs.
That freed up enough funds to finish these required ships. It just seems counter-productive
to demand i build things and then within 2 turns cut their funding.

Several times it has happened where some political figure demands i build X number of submarines or cruisers.
I agree and get a mild budget increase. No more than 2 turns after starting construction i get a message that
congress has decided to cut the naval budget. Is this a bug? If they are going ...

He might help with the naval budget... but nobody seems to like him. Inside of 4 years i lost both my allies. By the mid forties both Austria & France declared on me, followed by the UK & USA. 4 against 1!! I saw it coming but nothing i could do to defuse the situation. It seems once your AI ...

Is Mussolini hardcoded to take over Italy in the mid-20's? I had low unrest(2) and was not at war when i got a pop

That might be correct under a previous version. I am not so sure about the current Beta patch:<br/>

<t> Found an issue with current beta. Soviet sapper squad '39 stops production 8/41,sapper squad '41 stops <br/>

Not only best, it's the only working order: base game, Don to Danube, Lost Battles, 1.08.01.

I installed Don to Danube after 1.08.01. Seems to be ok.

It does have the ability to run programs in Win7 compatibility mode,for those who <br/>

Consider myself a mostly historical player ...

I see it now,thanks.

Perhaps i am missing something. I checked the editor, but cannot figure how
to change unit values. How is this done?

I noticed too late that she shows up without. Kicking myself for
disbanding excess British CL FP groups.

there's a very late war pool for CW like in 44-45

Checked the editor,starting 45' CW gets replacement rate of 20.
Surprised to see the French also get a replacement rate of 10 in 45'.
Thnx

<t> Is there supposed to be a replacement pool of Commonwealth pilots?<br/>
I have a FAA squadron No1844 that is listed as Commonwealth nationality.<br/>
Since there is no pool for this nationality,how can i fill this squadron out?<br/>
Have plenty of AUS,NZ, & BRIT pilots,but cannot draw them ...
