Oh dear, I hadn't expected my "See, this is what happens when you play without "No ZOC on Surprise". It's so totally unrealistic. Steve should have dropped everything and made this compulsory optional rule his number one priority to code. The game is completely unplayable without it." comment to be taken as anything other than an ironic pastiche of other threads calling for the immediate coding of certain optional rules without which the game is "totally unrealistic" and "unplayabale". Perhaps I should have added an [:D] afterwards.

[Orm]

I suspected that it was ironic. But I thought a comment wouldn't hurt. [:D]

I think Alannis should add a verse:

It's like a post from Keith, about zone of control
He didn't add a [:D], now he sounds like a troll
And isn't it ironic.......

A good comment it was too as it sums up things pretty well.

And a stonking good song it is. And I haven't heard it before.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 7

The French and British try and make a silk purse out of the sows ear that is the Allied situation....[:(]

[warspite1]

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 7

The Persian front is much ado about nothing. The Soviets have crossed the border but the poooer weather has stopped any thought of attacking Tehran - or even reaching the place.

Moving straight on to China, there is more Allied woe in store unless the weather god becomes friendly or - even better - the turn ends [:)]

[warspite1]

warspite1: Well the turn didn't end, so lets go over to our resident MWIF weather girl. The lady with the luuvvverrrllyy AARse Ms Yanet Garcia! Hey Yanet how did you do with the weather roll?

Yanet: Well I theeenk I deeed good Mr Warspeeet. I bring sunshining to you all!! [:)]

warspite1: Ms Garcia - how can I put this? You're fired....

S/O 39 Axis 9.

No DoW

Germany & Japan Land. Italy Combined.

Italy initiates combat in the Bay of Biscay.

Searches: Axis 8, Allies 5. No combat.

Germany sends a Stuka to ground strike the hex SW of Brussels. Do the Allies wish to intercept?

[warspite1]

What is the maximum fighter strength the Germans can get on that hex at half range please (assuming front fighter is highest quality)?

[AllenK]

The 5-point Me-109 at Brussels is the only fighter in range.

[warspite1]

The pilotes of the L'armee de l'air thank their German opponents for the invitation, but regretfully have to decline as they have a better offer. Its the French Cup Final today!

[AllenK]

Such a shame but one can understand these competing priorities.

Are the French 37mm AA crews located in the targeted hex also attending said cup final or do they wish to avail themselves of some target practice?

The 15th (Marseille) Division de AA are also at the match supporting Les Phoceens and so the German aircraft is free to bomb, strafe and generally make a nuisance of itself without fear of interruption.

Mention in despatches for persistence in the face of the enemy.

Sorry, I am not persistent enough. I change the convoy route and the computer, at once, change it back. I am to frustrated to continue.

And I also had a MadExcept during this time. I am taking a break.

No idea why the resource routing system is considered a working one. [:(]

My advice is to Clear all the Default and Override settings for the resources and let the computer make a first pass.

Then figure out exactly what you don't like about the choices the computer made.

Then fix them one at a time using Default settings using Recompute after each change.

Trying to change several items in a single pass might result in Recompute making a lot of changes you didn't anticipate.

If you expect the computer to send resource R to factory F and it doesn't [sending resource S to F instead], try setting resource S to Idle.

[Orm]

Thank you for the advice, Steve. I'll keep it in mind when I have my second go at it.
