Is this still happening?

Think we agree. Discussing tactical, in a strategic game. 40guys sneaking off a boat at night from obscure direction/flank won't kill 400 entrenched troops. But they could hit a wagon trail of food, ammo, pack mules, making the enemy 20% less effective. Back in the day I could take 4 men and make a...

I had the Brits invade the Union at several places from Canada, notably Detroit, and also to make a landing in Washington state and Oregon. I used their Navy to back the Union Navy off of the CSA. It worked!

I followed the same strategy with the English instead of the French and won as well.

Actually, the map seems just fine — given the myriad of skirmishes all over the place during the Civil War, one needs a fairly large map to accommodate all the battles, large and small. A World at War map with this many hexes would have been nice. I’d like to agree. The Civil War was vast in scope,...

The problem is this: that standard falls apart in a Blue vs Gray game.

A color change exception is needed here. Heck, make transports red and have everything else use only either blue or gray.

The unit type rectangle on CSA naval units, but not transports, has a blue background field. This is extremely confusing and makes them look similar to US units. Meanwhile the CSA transport unit correctly has a dark gray unit type rectangle. Please fix all CSA units to have gray unit type rectangles...

You have indeed made some needed improvements. Well done for that. Adding a scenario turn length selector (go big!) will be another one. Thank you for that as well. What this game could really use is a way to import that huge treasure of Squad Leader scenarios into the game. I wish you luck. I m als...

Well, some progress has been made. But not nearly enough. You still can't edit and save an existing scenario. You still can't change the lengths of existing scenarios when selecting one. There is still no real scenario editor, just a partial one. There is still no unit editor. This game still needs ...

It still needs work. It’s a shame, with sufficient work put into it this could be a great game and a classic.

Moving on…

<r> I am not interested in winning hearts and minds. I’m only interested in winning battles, in real life and in gaming. In this case the battle is to make this game into what it ought to be instead of what it is now. With a full set of features that I identified this game would be the Holy Grail of...

Invading Australia should be utterly beyond Japanese capabilities in the game. Even the Japanese knew that they couldn’t invade it. The Japanese Army refused to even consider it for logistical reasons.

Now tell the truth.
Has anyone ever finished a War in the Pacific Admiral Edition game?

Yes. It was worth it, but I would never do it again.

I have no sense of humor left at all about Vietnam. None.

Why are posting this? And why in this forum?
