In my opinion, a "gamey style" is not such a bad thing. It is more a question of philosophy. The most successful strategy game of all times is always played "gamey" - or do you know a chess player who tries to reproduce real world tactics of ancient Indian armies? Trollelite plays quite gamey and uses all tricks, which are allowed by the game and your house rules. You should just adjust your style a bit and do the same. It might become a new, interesting experience. All that whining about gameyness kills more fun than the gameyness itself.
AFAIK a recon flight doesn't activate the russians. Only marching towards that Hex activate them and so enable the attack air missions...
However, Bogo, i never whined (or, well, i THINK i never did it) nor called for gameyness.
And i want to avoid any comment that can leads me back to that discussion.
I'm sorry if this attitude may sound rude to your post, but i've already expressed my feelings and my policy here.
Thx.
My pacific islands are already empty.I have units only on Tarawa, Wotje,Maloelap,Eniwetok, Johnstons(a single base force here), Wake and Midway. Nothing more.
The diversions towards Ambonia or Timor will be made (i'm moving supplies and fuel for that towards Darwin) but it will require some time.
For the time being the CENTPAC vector is where we can push.
It's may guys...the allies really do not have those many units available at the moment!
