Matrix Games Forums

Seems like a good "Spooky site" add-on with a series of home rules in the PBEM or as playing allied vs AI. (I'm guessing that if the AI were Allied, it would require a fair amount of coding to get it to act correctly.)

Homerules should keep the ahistorical out of the game, while still giving access to the Soviet fleet. That would also let the designers and testers see and avoid any pitfalls that arise with the new forces.

Just a thought,

I think a cool mod would be to add the communist chinese into the fray and make them AI controlled and hostile to both Japanese and the Allies... Would make china FAR more interesting..

given that the nationalist chinese and the communist chinese fought among themselves and fought each other as much as they fought the japanese it would be like a mini "DIPLOMACY" game on mainland china. the ai could promise support and cancel it, friendly divisions could turn on each other. what a hoot.

haven't researched what the soviet navy had in the pacific in 1940. looks like 5 destroyers, 200 torpedo boats and 70 submarines (Rising Sun Victorious, 22). obviously not much of a threat to the japanese though the submarines and the japanese lack of asw could be a problem.
