José,

You misread my post. We basically agree.

<r> I guess nearly all of us on this forum would prefer Matrix to issue MWIF1 <B><s>[b]</s>FIRST<e>[/b]</e></B> without an AI, and <B><s>[b]</s>LATER<e>[/b]</e></B> with an AI.

<t> IMHO, the feel of exploitation is replaced mostly by the impulse system which helps create breakthroughs. The impulse/initiative/weather system is one of the best feature of WiF (if not the best).<br/> <br/> That being said, ARM units in 3R are almost like "gods" compared to INF units. Only ARM ...

Is it correct that "Madura" and "Hermit Islands" (NW on the map) belong to "Papua" ?

<t> IMHO, the game is more demanding for the UK/US in 1941/42. They must prepare serious invasions. Otherwise, the Russian will be too weak or pushed too far away to start steamrolling the Germans in late 1943/early 1944.<br/> <br/> NB: play-balance also depends on the mix of modules and options you...

<t> Beautiful map. The whole thing looks rather more realistic than WiFFE.<br/> <br/> But, unless I missed a key rule, both sides will find it hard to mount even a single attack per season.

(post 282)

Agreed. However, keep in mind that some lakes on the map are smaller than 51kms. Lake Ilmen (for instance) is 40kms max length (by 36kms max width).

<t> All East Prussian lakes are less than 30 kms long except one, the Mamry (Mauersee in German).<br/> <br/> Lake Mamry is the second largest polish lake (113.8 sq km). The shoreline of Lake Mamry is 180 kilometers (I didn’t find the length). Mamry is up to 44m deep (average 11m deep).<br/> <br/> On...

I'm pleased you wish to add more features to the Europe map in MWIF release 2. Thanks again for the hard work.

NB: it's lake Neusiedler indeed (I guess I need some sleep...). This lake is only 36 kms long.
