RE: Dont take forever

Argh.

Where ARE our turns? (2 games going - both been over 48 hours)

I always have one turn out every 12-24 hours.

Nice! It's hard to take Moscow effectively and hold on everywhere else. Nice screen shots!

RE: At sea combat bug

Glad to help.

This game is wonderful. All of you deserve the highest praise! For its intricate nature - this game shipped remarkably stable.

2by3 has a new fan! [&o]

RE: Would like to play Germany - open to any combo

Cool - that sounds good to me (although now I'm nervous to play Germany in front of a veteran player! [8|])

We'll wait to hear from aletoledo - but hopefully we'll have this up and running today.

I was thinking: 1 turn a day minimum?

Use of transports too easy?

<t> I have wrestled with this question a lot this week.<br/> <br/> Case in point:<br/> <br/> As Germany (who should really only be able to transport a limited number of troops to be even remotely historical) I can transport massive amounts of troops on strategic move to Africa. Likewise, the WA can ...

RE: At sea combat bug

<t> It's Germany's turn. I am Germany. I moved a transport into the sea zone by Sweden/Leningrad (the Soviet fleet is there: 1 light cruiser).<br/> <br/> The transport allowed me to send supplies to Leningrad - but it also created the combat icon (1/2 of each nationality with explosion side-bar)<br/...

At sea combat bug

<t> I have a stuck game.<br/> <br/> The issue is: I moved a transport into the sea zone by Leningrad/Sweden - there was a Russian Light Fleet there but it had already fired for the turn. Now the phase won't end b/c it keeps saying: combat expected but all the options are greyed out. I have no planes...

AI levels - question

<r> My question is:<br/> <br/> Does the AI change in terms of how well it plays based on the level?<br/> <br/> I ask, because if it does - couldn't I set it to challenging or higher but then take away the bonuses - or are the bonuses the only thing that makes it "smarter" ?<br/> <br/> I want better ...

Would like to play Germany - open to any combo

<r> I have focused on playing Germany (so I'm of little use yet with other countries).<br/> <br/> I'm open to any mix of computer/humans - just so I can play Germany.<br/> <br/> I would want to play with Advanced Supply/Manual and on "normal" in other respects for the AI (if we use any - I'm open to...

RE: Adv. Supply - Moscow surrounded - still able to defend????

Good point Oleg, but I zonked their factories with bombers.

Argh, the irony is that I was strong enough to surround moscow but not enough to storm it (they have 33 or so units there, I think)... so close (sob)
