<t> I think by saying gamey-ness, oleg means that tactics of capturing supplies might become a sole purpose for attacking operations. Conceivably, the game could turn into one where one side was continually producing supply(and expending its production) while the other was continually 'stealing ...

Turn based games are extremely well suited for pbem play though - and personally I love playing this game pbem as I can take 5 mins for an easy turn and consider a hard turn for hours sometimes seeing it in the morning and considering it ...

<r> Just wanted to say thanks again to the guys at 2by3. I think it's great that you're still working on patches/improvements for this game (which was already pretty well done to begin with).<br/>
<br/>
I know you're working on a tcp/ip version of the game and had some thoughts on it, hopefully ...

I believe it takes a full turn before those repairs are considered for the production phase. ie, if you repair in Sp41, those factories will be functional for the production phase of Su41. i believe damaged factories don't produce anything until they are fully repaired...

FWIW, my play time has substantially been reduced by a completely different angle...the whole Axis AV that ends the game before it every becomes WW2. Sure, it can be countered and sure its not a guaranteed Axis win, but it IS a guaranteed 'all or ...

Does anyone else see flashing number artifacts when the mouseover some units since 1.40? The number usually start with a 1, are 7 or maybe 8 characters long and they fl;icker usually as you mouseover a unit.

fog of war doesnt disguise research levels above a full point. Fog of war also doesnt mask units on the board, so if you start a game and the germans have an abnormal number of units, or an abnormal research level, you can catch them right there.

<t> not necessarily...actually japan has to be very careful. Her source of supply is centralized. If that big japanese fleet is far off, they wont have the supply necessary to return to combat the US ships blockading. Ditto the airforce, which will likely be in offensive positions far removed from ...

bump.

is this a bug?

also confirmed 75 supply point cost for WA to attack a neutral. Is this right?!

yes, frequently...

<r> 1x1 pbem, enhanced fuel cost, advanced supply, no auto, no area. Currently in W42. USA is still frozen, russia has recently been attacked.<br/>
<br/>
Russia declares war on and attacks persia. I expect 5 or 10 supply point cost(can't remember which, but nevermind, i have lots. Then check ...

US is frozen pending japanese attack,

japan attacks/invades hawaii and the ships all flee to WC USA.

Japan then sends 2 carriers to support attacks/invasion of WC usa(same turn), succeeds, and all ships destroyed.

I have a save if you want it.

um, so why are all the US Pacific ships destroyed when japan takes hawaii and then WC USA?

And I might add the that I dislike the intensity in this game when playing the Axis. I feel like the Axis have to play perfectly, follow a particular "recipe for victory," and if they do this, they can't lose.

<br ...

dont suppose you could put in a quick fix so that the us pacific fleet retreats to the east coast if hawaii is unavailable (instead of being destroyed)?

<t> I think a good compromise in the case where a port area is attacked:<br/>
<br/>
1) if the port is attacked via land, the fleet scrambles 1 fleet for every supply available to the ocean zone offshore. If there are enemy ships there, an extra sea battle takes place with all ships taking part ...

Having just lost the entire us pacific fleet on the first turn japan attacked the us(ie, before the us was allowed to move anything), i have to say the rules need changing joel. If you want it, i have the save.

actually, i had my russian fleets go to vladivostok once as well...

What about them? This is a grand strategic game where Light Fleet units represent no less than ten destroyers and associated smaller vessels each.
