Playing AI is challenging like taking candy of a baby [:(]

No takers?

Well, where is everyone?  Maybe we can get another game going.  I've been tossing around some house rule "variants" - I think "Tora, Tora, Tora" could use some tweaks (which could only be done using the editor).

Basically I have found any land combat unit with an experience level < 20 is likely to surrender upon first contact with the enemy, LCUs with exp between 20 and 30 aren't worth much.

Based on that I think Australian LCUs attached to CMF and Indian LCUs starting in or arriving in India should have there exp raised to 50 - this would make Oz and India more defensible.&nbsp; I would say such units so raised should not be allowed to leave Oz/India until 1943.&nbsp; Thoughts?

The editor can do a lot [;)]

IRL the dutch colonial troops crumbled on first contact and the Indian have not been much better. I think there was a window of opportunity to take India in 1942.

If you raise the experience level the CW troops have to be in India until late 1944. If they would advance via Burma, that is OK anytime, but no exotic landings somewhere.

I agree on the Dutch troops - they went down within a week of the japs landing on Java. My thought is the Japs should have a tougher time taking all of India - I agree with your point, any Indian troops upgraded should not be allowed to leave India (no embarking on transports unless moving between India, Ceylon, Addu Is and the Andamans). I will come up with an updated house rule set and run it by you - it seems the pacwared.xls macro will not let me edit a PBEM game, so I guess editing the scenario files is the only way to change the OB - will try tinkering with it [;)]

Me looking again,

had a good game with Charles but his computer crashed and PW does not run on his new VISTA.

So any sides, any taker, very simple house rules [:D]

I just finished a game and have a slot free to go.

Would prefer US side, less work in the beginning and more fun ;) but can also play Japs [:D]
