Where do you live in WItP terms

vettim89 · Post by **vettim89** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 3:53 pm

The "WItP has taken over thread" made me think about where I live and what it would be if on the WItP map. Using WWII era figures I live in:

Toledo, Ohio (Urban hex, forts 0 and lots of RR's, temperate zone - though the -15 F temp yesterday makes me question that)

AB 2(2)
Port 3(3)
Manpower 5 (just a WAG)
HI 200 (I figure it had to have been bigger than Hanoi. Lots of stuff built here including all those Willys JEEPS)
Shipyard 10 (small shipyard here with a drydock. Built USCG cutters and most notably USCGC Mackinaw)
Oil 10 (Another WAG but the Lima-Trenton field is just south of here and produced a lot in the WWII era)

Today the only change would be AB 4(4). The airport houses the 180th TFG plus a Burlington Air Hub - 12,000 ft runway. Plus there are no fewer than 3 "fighter strips" here too

edit: forgot the hex characteristics

Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA

AB 2(4) - 6,000 ft x 100 ft rwy/3,600 ft x 75 ft rwy, ILS, room for expansion
Port 0(0) -unless a canoe launch on the Fox River counts as something
Urban Hex
Railroads - too many
Daily Supply 100 - nearby shopping!
Cold Zone! - Several sub-zero days recently. I feel my morale slipping and my home is suffering from additional disruption tracking in all of the snow...

I didn't add any resources. What constitutes a resource in WItP terms? The area produces obnoxious amounts of lime which is essential to the steel industry (If you have ever driven past a lime plant you understand the term obnoxious). Two refineries here too - forgot about that. Small smount of steel production although it was higher in WWII. What about food? Huge agricultural area and was more so in WWII.

Cap Mandrake · Post by **Cap Mandrake** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 4:39 pm

The "OC" hex (between Sand Diego and LA).

In 1941 it would be:

AB 1(6) (Eventually El Toro MCAS (2 x 10,000 ft) and Tustin MCAS (2 x 10,000 ft, 1 x 8,000 ft))

Port 2(2) Shallow draft harbor at Newport Beach [:)]

Fortifications: 2 (a few coastal guns in concrete emplacements in Huntiungton Beach)

Industry...not so much I guess, although a great deal would be right on the border with LA

Same hex as Cap Mandrake. 14.1 nm, bearing 121 mag, from Newport Beach.

Kufstein, Austria!

Mountain hex! Forts level 0! Railroad! Cold Zone! HI 10

Die Perle Tirols!![:D]

Somehow surpising for me to see someone from Austria in this forum.
But on the other had, I should perhaps realise that WitP is a game, and no direct access to an ocean is required[;)]

My City of Birth is Wetzlar, a small town (50 k inhabitants with suburbs) with remarkably lots of industry. The famous Leica Camera was invented there. During WWII, roundabout 2/3 of the Axles for german Tanks were produced there (Röchling-Werke). HI perhaps 60? Hills, Railroad. Port 0. AF 1. Oil 0. Res perhaps 100 (iron ore).

Edit: Perhaps i should also tell you that Wetzlar is in Germany. 60 kms NW of Frankfurt

Which proves my statement that no direct access to an ocean is needed to play WitP[;)].

Bruxelles, Belgium - capital of Europe[8D].  Urban hex, temperate zone, AF 9 (1)*, Port 1 (0)**, Fort 0.
As for manpower, industry and ressources, without real reference but extrapolating from WitP's map (mostly 1941 Japan, as Australia and the US were not "closed" enough) : Manpower 100, HI 1200, Ressources 800, various industries for 1800.***
 
 
 
* awarded Best Airport in Europe four years ago, but in its many years of existence, the city has surrounded it, bringing houses far too close...[8|]
** or maybe 9 (6), since Antwerp (international ranking from 11th to 17th, worldwide) is less than 30 miles away.  It would depend on how hex are drawn...
*** again, counting the hex's dimensions.  One of the densest PIB/km² overall - not always fun to live in, but useful.[:D]

Elessar · Post by **Elessar** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 7:38 pm

I live in Regensburg, Germany

urban hex, moderate climate
port (0)0, some 600km to the medeterranean sea, across the alps, and even further to the north sea
airfield 2(6) just a fighter runway and a factory runway, enough flat land to expand
manpower??? maybe 50k people back in those days
resources 20, not sure how to calculate this but it is not much, a lot of agriculture

  now it gets interesting:
heavy industry: maybe 250, VERY large aircraft assembly, Messerschmidt GmbH about half of all Bf109 were manifactured here, facrory got bombed out by LeMay himself (look up "Operation Double Strike" on wikipedia) late in the war, as the factory went out of buissnes after repeated bombings, the high tech Me262 were assenbled in very low tech huts in the forest outside of the city

Itapetininga - Sao Paulo Brasil
Urban hex (Barely)

Forts 0
RR hex
HI 4
Tropical Zone (Dengue-Yellow Fever, you got the picture)

Don't give credit or blame to Lemay for Regensburg.

According to the unit history of the 451st Bombardment Group (H), flying from Italy with the 15th Air Force -

"On August 16th the Group was awarded a Distinguished Unit Citation (1st of 3) for its outstanding work in the bombing and destruction of the Messerschmidt Airplane Factory in Regensburg, Germany, February 25, 1944."

The Group lost 6 B-24s that day along with many badly damaged.
