GW Counterfactual Take 3.

[rkr1958]

MWIF Global War Counterfactual (Take 3).

1. Here goes nothing, but I do hope that it turns into something. As always, any constructive comment or criticism is not only welcomed but is encourage.

2. This and the previous 2 tries or takes are solo.

[rkr1958]

MWIF version 5.0.0.10 (Debug) & Take 3 = Take 2 Setup.

1. Using setup for take 2 with the exception of US entry chit draws.

2. US entry chit draws redone for setup (still 2 chits to Ge/It & 1 chit to Japan entry) and Germany's DOW on Poland.

3. Note that in take 2 the allies only pulled 1 chit for Germany's DOW but in take 3 pulled 2.

Optional & House Rules.

[rkr1958]

Scrapped at Setup.

[rkr1958]

Lend Lease Planes at Setup.

1. MWIF has a feature (i.e., bug) in which lent planes cannot be returned to the lender. This means that later in the war that these obsolete planes, because they can't be scrapped, that the borrow will likely draw these planes again if destroyed.

2. However; with the "magic" of game file editing these planes can now indeed be returned and then scrapped.

3. I've gone through the necessary edits in my game file editing guide but when/if I do it "for keeps" in this game I will post the steps. Making the necessary edits aren't for the faint of heart but they aren't Rocket Science either.
