Sorry, I guess we played it wrong all those years.
It will be nice to have the computer correct all the misunderstandings.

<r> All this is "fantasy" since I have no idea how many hexes in persia the axis controls, and how supply is traced by the axis there. I am just guessing that a well placed russian unit could wreck havoc with the supply.<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Red Prince<br/> I just counted it out, and ...

<t> How is the axis supplied in persia?<br/> Are they relying on the japanese fleet to keep suply open by sea or are they tracking supply through the dessert.<br/> <br/> I was thinking that the paratrooper would be a much greater threat here.<br/> Also if the axis does not have all hexes in persia o...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Red Prince<br/> As for an attack on Rundstedt, that could have been done with as much as a 48:7 set of odds, reduced to 48:8, given German Ground Support. Add in 8 Ground support of your own, and you've got an attack of 56:8 = 7:1. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> An ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Red Prince<br/> It's actually very easy in-game to veiw units this way. The only reason it looks complicated is that I have to cut and paste to show you what I see on the screen. Flyouts can easily be set so that every time you scroll the cursor over a hex with mor...

<r> Had i been playing USSR rundstedt would have been attacked.<br/> Placing your hq alone in frontline hexes is too tempting.<br/> Lucky for germany that zhukov is in persia rather than at the dnepr looking at his offensive chit.<br/> <br/> I belive you have effectively demonstrated that the game i...

A vote from me to declare against germany.

<t> I was wondering where the Moscow mil is hiding?. Is it hiding under the oil marker in Moscow ?<br/> If so it should immidiateley rail to kiev, vitebsk or some other place where you intend to stand and die. <br/> <br/> In general you will want germany to bruise himself on that mil every turn. Sim...

<r> Your rules seeems fine.<br/> <br/> I go by the following rules:<br/> <br/> 1. Never fly a mission unless you are sure you can land in a safe hex. A safe hex being defined as a hex where you will not be overrun and acess to oil is assured.<br/> 2. Keep far away from german fighters, risky attacks...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Red Prince<br/> The USA now also has to look at the Options it takes more carefully. It must take Resourceds to USSR this turn. That's good, it has an 80% chance of moving a chit. Unlike the Ja rolls, though, the Ge/It and All rolls can't be manipulated. The likely...

<r> Hi Red Prince<br/> <br/> I think that it is very cool to follow this AAR. I have played a lot of WIF games in the past, but i simply do not have the time any more. I get all tired thinking about setting up a new game using vassal and trying to remember 100+ pages of rules. <br/> <br/> You are ma...

<t> I tend to disagree with you. <br/> &nbsp;<br/> Early on in the game the axis have the full force available to commit against either the USSR or CW. <br/> The USSR is handicapped by not having enough space to retreat and CW is handicapped by not having USA come to the recue with the entire pa...

<t> I believe there is a bug in the screenshot above. The attack is rated as 30:17<br/> The german units have 60 factors attacking across the river (the red PzJag is doubled) so the attackers are summed up correctly.<br/> But the russians are cheated of 2 factors, the 3 factor 85mm AA is not doubled...

<t> Hi lomyrin<br/> &nbsp;<br/> It is great that you make the time to show us these photos. It makes it clear that while the war in china is very different it is not totally broken.<br/> I think the greatest change from the boardgame is that you need to pay a lot of attention to the front at all...

<r> Hi Reivaj<br/> <br/> I will start to say that a 100 factors will influence your strategy. Mostly optional rules and how many sets you are playing with (PIF,ASA etc..) Thus there is no right answer to your question, just general advice.<br/> <br/> 1. The belgian units are going to disappear soon....

<t> The Module file is a zip file, but you do not actually unzip the file yourself. Vassal does that when you play the game.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> A module is a single file&nbsp;called "xxx.mod". <br/> If you rename it to "xxx.zip" you would be able to unzip it (dont do that), just point Vassal a...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Shannon V. OKeets<br/> Marking out the path traveled isn't feasible in WIF. The unit density in the front lines is so high, that if I were to do that, it would look like a bowl of spaghetti run over by a steam roller. [At one time my brother and his wife, having co...

<t> Hi Shanon<br/> <br/> Out from lurking (having watched this space for more than 6 months) I just had to post a few notes to you. <br/> When you took up this project some time ago I quietly laughed at the world for producing yet another fool willing to try on the task of implementing WIF. I liked ...
