Tree v Yammy - The Allied Perspective
Moderators: wdolson, MOD_War-in-the-Pacific-Admirals-Edition
RE: Tree v Yammy / my take on the PH "debate"
ORIGINAL: TMFoss
Here is a suggestion on the PH debate. When the game comes out, recruit a group of forum members to do a series of tests and post their data. Use different AI settings, etc. Doing it this way we can accrue hundreds of PH strikes and get a more accurate data set.
Isn't this exactly what the Dev team and beta testers are & have been doing for some time now?!
Why can't we just trust them and get on with it? It's a high end, not typical result.
Nothing to see here, move along now...

Finally received the turn and replay from Yammy...he is still awaiting treatment and is in agony...so turns may be intermittent until then.
