It looks like WvG would like to cheer for me too.
Swing over and get the details. -
LD,
Large flags are worth 300 points and small flags are worth 100 points. For every eligible unit you exit, you get the point value. For every eligible unit your opponent destroys, you lose the point value and your opponent gains the point value.
Now you need to do the math to get your answer.

Yeah, that SuperTed rocks! Give 'im a raise! Woohoo!
Thanks, guys.

That's way too much information! :eek:

Guys,
Britain starts with one corps on the island and 110 MPPs. To purchase an HQ would cost over 400 MPPs, requiring more than three turns to raise. Of course, there would be essentially nobody to lead, so the point would be moot.
France is in better shape, with 5 armies, 1 corps, and 115 MPPs. 3 of those armies are in the Maginot, where they can achieve an entrenchment level of 8. So, it would be best to have them stay where they are, leaving 2 armies and a corps free. This is hardly enough to strike fear in the heart of a German commander.
By spring of 1940, the Allies may be strong enough to push into Germany, but it would probably not be a wise move.

Guys,
I would have to agree that SC would land somewhere in the 6 range when measuring detailed realsim. However, the focus for SC has always been on balancing realism with fun and playability. Here is where this game really shines. It is possible to play the entire war in one night and still feel you played a pretty good simulation. Trust me, that's no easy task.
Once you guys have the demo in hand, you'll see what I mean.

A full 3r game with select variants? about a 15...</font>Originally posted by Compassion:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by SuperTed:
Jeff,
I have played neither of those games, but I have played Third Reich. If you have played that, where would it be on your scale?

Jeff,
I never played the PC one either. It looked terrible. I was actually referring to the board version.

IE,Originally posted by Immer Etwas:...And a question now occurs to me -- the rules say that you can only move a unit to a city (of 5 MPP or higher) -- if the city is occupied, can the unit arrive at a nearby hex? Or, will you have to plan ahead and make sure that a city near your front is empty?
Units moved operationally must end their move in or adjacent to a city.

Mr. C,Originally posted by Mr. Clark:Bill, I MAY be wrong, but I believe it was said that as soon as you spend points for a unit... poof, there it is.
However, the time spent saving up the points to purchase the unit can be seen as production time, in a sort of abstract sense.
That is correct.

This time Panzerman has something for everybody at The Scenario Zone.

Oh, I see. Do you guys really think Hubert knows what he's talking about?

Elmo,
Sí, señor.
We went from "soon", to "very soon", and now back to "soon"!
If you take the derivative of the time to release, it is clear that this game will never be done!
Vaporware!

Bill,Originally posted by Bill Macon:...SuperTed's AAR talks about individual U-boats being rammed in the North Atlantic. What's up with that in a "strategic" game?...
I should point out that I am taking some liberties for dramatic effect. There is no ramming of other naval units; only a single "roll of the dice" and assessed damage.
Also, the naval units are an abstraction. Despite having names like Scharnhorst or Gneisenau, these units represent more than those individual ships.

Herr K,Originally posted by Herr Kruger:Ted, you are Super! Those are some great prizes... I bought the Tiger print and I love it! Am I still on the waiting list?
Agreed.
Yup, you're still on top of the pile. However, nobody seems to want to leave. :confused:

Elmo,Originally posted by Elmo:"Pronto, señor."
Well we've gone from "soon" to "very soon" to "pronto". My Spanish is non-existant so is "pronto" sooner than "very soon"?
pronto=soon
muy pronto=very soon

Elmo,Originally posted by Elmo:Here is a link from Flags of the World. It doesn't sound as simple as "one flag" for Yugoslavia.
The star was added by Tito in 1946. Prior to that (I think dating back to 1917), it was the blue, white, and red stripes only.

Even Poles are making names for themselves at German websites. Get the details at Tom's Combat Mission HQ.

Straha,Originally posted by Straha:Thanks again, SuperTed! We needed that badly.
I support the petition for more insight in your economical expenditures (research etc.).
And now the inevitable "Straha-remarks"
:What about the Baltic republics? They were included in the Hitler-Stalin pact (as was Bessarabia). The Russian army moved in in 1939 already, "elections" were held in 1940 leading to the incorporation into the Sovietunion. So will the Baltic states become Russian in 1940?
Straha
You're welcome.
I have it on good authority the Baltic States will be seeing red before 1940 has ended.

I'd like. Nothing like a shopping list.Originally posted by BloodyBucket:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />
If you'd like, I could make a list of the prices for German units.
Interesting that you went for upgrading your industrial capacity. I thought that your priorities might be geared more towards a quick victory rather than setting up for increased production for the long haul.
BTW, I'm toying with the idea of a fansite for SC, and I'd like permission to rip off, err, I mean use some of the screens that get posted here, along with linking to the forum and the SC site that BTS maintains. Any objections?</font>
