A new game between Wirraway_Ace (the newbie) against Marky.

Stock map.
Historical First Turn.

House Rules:
No more than 200 aircraft per base
ASW TFs <=10
PT TFs <= 6
No 4Es naval bombing under 5,000 ft
No mini-para drops

Thanks to Marky for taking on another game. This is my first try with WITP after playing UV for about six months.

I look forward to finding out how the Wirraway will win WWII....

Just a thought. We have found in our games that you pretty much need to keep 4Es above 10,000 feet to get reasonable results with 4E bombers...definitely don't want to start a debate, but thought it might be worth mentioning.

Thanks niceguy. In UV I rarely fly them under 20,000. I will bump up the floor to keep it reasonable. I like to try and operate within the intended framework of the game's simulation engine. Though some folks seem to find great enjoyment in finding holes in the game engine, it is not my thing.

Of course, I lose a lot...
