Tyronec,

I can imagine Sea Lion can be pretty easy! That is why Alvaro upped the UK Production. It's hard to get precise figures on interceptions. I have played around with the AI to see how many times I would get one and it was a lot more than I thought. I didn't write it down but it made me aware!(just got an interception trainsporting my land unit to France earlier tonight within range of a German Bomber, but did no damage) Plus I found a CV from the AI I Played with saving the turn to see how many times it hit an amphib of mine landing in the same place and I was astonished. Not just that but it sank it every time, not damaged it. Hotseating interception wouldn't be hard... if 10 players tried 10 times with full strength units we all could get precise figures?

Only lost 1 game so far and I'm on my 8th or 9th I think. That game could of been a lot closer I think and I didn't include Sea Lion in any of those games. It's an expensive trade. . . Need to dig into your AAR deeper. They're very informative. When someone tries an entirely new strategy you can learn from it instantly. Sea Lion may be a requirement as USSR gets buffed, which I think it might get. Western Allies are already VERY strong in '40 combined.

I am learning as I go really just new but I found that the Axis are strong but the Allies can take them!

Michael T,

31 years of WW1-WW2-Civil War studies as of this age...started as a boy but I don't know very much as I am a hack. I picked up a few dozen novels but it regardless...

I am merely trying to give you advice as if the guys from the High Commands in all these nations we're simulating playing a board game together with all this knowledge we have, what would be the outcome? I have really no clue but my guess nothing like the war itself.

So maybe Warplan isn't as fictional or as ahistorical as one might assume and I played every hexagon wargame of this scale released. They all had similar issues in different areas. i.e. The Best Strategic Command Player I ever faced would use a Morale Boost from invading every minor on the map pre-Barbarossa to sweep me off the map. I remember loathing him when he did that... Devs never addressed this oddly our 1 fella does. C:

Naval interception and the interaction with invasions not working as intended from day one.

Hopefully fixed now or soon.

So invasions will get harder and seen less often I hope. [:)]
