Re: WP2 Manpower and Oil

I absolutely love that idea. Taking men working in the industry to convert them into soldiers should lower a given country production. We can also say that these soldiers have not a big war experience. And as such, incorporating them into units, without training, should lower the fighting units exp...

Re: Interesting Findings From Hot Seat Testing

Wikipedia is certainly not a definitive source, but this link does provide a reasonable summary of the engagement: ht...
