What makes a good Theater Commander? Do any of his modifiers other than command points and inf training matter?<br/>

Can the Theater commander do anything special when he gain initiative or is it all passive ...

<t> I have had mixed results trying to land troops. In my most resent game I took three leaders gave them troops and parked them on transports off the coast.<br/>

On turn 2 one of my leaders gained initiative and I dropped him on Hilton Head Island off Port Royal.<br/>

All Vichy unfreeze under control of Germany

I always move in my infantry to the Netherlands first. This flushes out the light fleet to the North Sea where you can take it out with bombers and subs.

I would love to see a 1783 senario with revelutionary France at war with Prussia, Austria, and Britain. There was a senario like this printed in the General magazine years ago. Each time your French general lost a battle there was a chance of him being executed.

They attack twice first with bombs then with torpedoes.

<t> I think he would agree with that assesment. His career was all about turning the pathetic soviet navy post WWII into a credible threat to the US Navy. He was always playing catchup.<br/>

If you ever do that against a human WA player he will evac the entire french army and fleet to England. Taking an extra turn against France is not an option.

<t> There is no way Germany can attack until turn 3. The tanks are required to deal with France and there isn't enough rail to get them all to the polish border and put a garison into the newly captured territories in one turn. <br/>

If Germany attacks Russia on turn 2 it will be with no ...

I had forgotten about the interdiction for sicily.

Now we have a place to base the Itallian air and cover the N African supply lines.

<t> If you are facing an inferior force (i.e. the enemy is militia and you are attacking with tanks) 1-1 is plenty. <br/>
<br/>
If the enemy is equal in quality 2-1 is safe.<br/>
<br/>
If you are at a quality disadvantage then 3-1 or 4-1 is required. With 4-1 numerical superiority an all militia ...

<t> As with anything to do with Balkin's politics it was far more complex. There was a very strong Facist movement in Yugoslavia which felt betrayed by the Brits after WWI. (Yugoslavia was a British invention). There were many who hated the Facists and supported the Brits. There was also a strong ...

This has been bothering me also. We need some way to find what is not connected so we can take steps to fix the transport net.

I like taking Gibralter and Egypt before taking on Russia.

The russians have a tough time defending if you can move a strong force up through Persia into the caucas area.

When a unit is damaged it goes on the production spiral and you gain 1 population. When the unit comes out of production then you must pay 2. A net loss of one point but this is why we are seeing different manpower pools on each turn ...

yes - The game begins after the fall of Poland.

That would also be great info to know. What countries/units have special costs?
