My one criticism of the mod is this:

After a few turns, Germany will have easily invested in every tech which is of interest. For the rest of the game, it is only a matter of reinvesting when one completes. There are no real decisions here at all.

The same criticism cannot be made for any of the ...

Thank you. I should have realized that. Something about the wording of the message made me think it was not a loop hex.

For the most part, I am enjoying this mod.

However, in spite of the note near Suez which states that neutral transports are allowed to pass through, the Italians were not allowed to transport a leader through the canal prior to joining the war.

<t> In general the ability of air to hit ships is pretty marginal in this game. Planes can fail to find fleets at sea or in port repeatedly and only do slight damage when they manage to be successful.<br/>
<br/>
In contrast to that, air units will often fail entirely to hit troops transports ...

It was not when neutral, because when neutral I would not have cared and had no reason to change modes. It was only when aircraft had taken heavy losses that I tried to set them to mission only so that they could avoid some losses.

I am certain it is nothing to do with version and updates.

It is probably a matter of taking certain actions in a certain order and that being something that you are not doing the same way.

I think SC is better overall, but both have some good features.

If it is late 41 before Russia is getting infantry 2, that is some shaky prioritizing of early game Russian MPP. That research needs to be started ASAP and kept rolling at all costs.

<t> There are many situation in which the game will not allow ships to leave port who should be allowed to do so.<br/>
<br/>
Often this happens because ships which are out of supply enter port. Following that, ones which were already there are not allowed to leave even if only they are selected ...

<t> I think the most important thing for you to do (on both fronts since May '41 is quite late for a French surrender), is to learn the details of the supply system and how HQ units can help. Couple that with learning some of the combat modifiers (such as a unit attacks better if it has not moved ...

<t> Yes, the major victory is only the second highest victory level. You can either accept their surrender or push on hoping for a decisive victory. In PBEM games, the Allied player gets the option of whether or not to offer that surrender. This last point may seem meaningless in the face of many ...

I just finished a really great game against my son in which I lost as the allies, surrendering in May 1945, but noticed some things that did not make sense and need a patch. I was losing for a good part of the game though in many theaters it ...

<t> Yes, I found this need to change the default mode of carriers to be one of the least obvious and most frustrating aspects of the interface when first learning the game. I still sometimes forget to change it when a new carrier reinforcement enters.<br/>
<br/>
I think it would have been better ...

Germans admittedly had oil issues during the war but not to the extent of running out of oil by 1941. <br/>
<br/>
And if you have to be extremely careful about oil right from 1939, then we are not accurately representing history: doubt that ...

I have seen this too, but thought it was perhaps my imagination and that I had made a mistake.

The main effect of airborne drops is to disrupt the enemy.<br/>
A game in this scale and turn length is unable to model air borne operations in a realistic way, except combat power, mobility, supplies and maybe initial losses.<br/>
<br ...

<t> As the Allied player in that game, I can tell you that Churchill probably lost his job in 1941. Since then Britain has only held Scotland. This of course triggered Spanish entry into the Axis, followed by the fall of Gibraltar and Portugal. Gibraltar more than anything gives him the freedom to ...

<t> Other than the obvious of being harder to find and engage when raiding convoys what are the exact differences between these options?<br/>
<br/>
If I want to interdict supplies coming into a port and don't care whether I am engaged, is fleet formation more effective? Perhaps raider formation ...

<t> I would not call it a brilliant plan, not at all. There were only so many options available. The plan is only made to look brilliant by the extreme ineptitude of the response.<br/>
<br/>
If any part of it were brilliant it would be letting a stray aircraft "accident" allow the fake plans for ...

It is about more than what can currently deploy. He wants to plan ahead and to review what he has coming.
