Lars vs Stalin AAR - v 1.01

And the sub goes down. The crusiers take a drubbing too. -
Seanachai, you knob, why'd you challenge Peng?

Soil the boot and abuse the serf. -
The Axis activation events were put in deliberately to prevent gamey scouting by a neutral US player. No historical reason. The US activation goes up enough, and fast enough, as it is. I see no reason to give the Allied player a "protected" convoy route. If you want to have the US activation rise for German surface ships parked off the harbor, I'm fine with that, as it will happen very rarely if the Allied player has half a brain. Or the Axis player for that matter. As for ships off the shore, don't see you screaming about the Chinese or Russian subs currently out there. Fact is, over the horizon, and in international waters, and most people just don't give a damn.

Australia hijacks the Peng Challenge Thread...yet again!!

In a strange twist of fate, the gods had their revenge on me this weekend. See, I had the crazy Frenchman Xyphorus over for the weekend, and he absolutely insisted on watching the World Cup match between the US and Italy. Apparently, the US got jobbed out of a goal. But all I recall is seeing the graphic, "No team has ever scored with 9 men" at about the 45 minute mark and wondering, "Well, why in the hell are we watching this again?" In other news, Papa Kahn has a girlfriend, Papa Kahn has a girlfriend…{snicker}… -
Dont forget Your Bucket and Spade

What on earth are you talking about? By the time of D-Day I have plenty of troops and I'm usually just looking for something to blow all the cash on. Heavy Bomber 4? Heavy Tank 3? Put three more chits in for Industrial 5 just for sh*ts & giggles? -

Er, Adapt, Improvise, Overcome. Wait for the salmonella to get going and then refreeze it. -
Naval bombardment of Malta

However, you are cutting off it's ability to reinforce, so it's not totally useless. But yeah, once you get the city down to 0, there's not much point in hitting it. -

Did somebody say boot of stout? Oh. nevermind. -
What the AI does not do, which a human opponent does, is move the initial attacking units out of the way to let the other units in to finish off a defender. Sometimes it won't even grab a empty city. Think it puts too high a value on the entrenchment bonus, Fix that, and I think you've solved 90% of the problem.

It's not really the resources used up that's a problem. A Panther doesn't take much more steel than a Pzkw III. In fact, the steel cost is the least of your problems. There is also the retooling of the various plants, debugging, etc. And perhaps most important, there is the opportunity cost. You could have built a heck of a lot of Pzkw III instead of a couple of Panthers. Or a couple of Pzkw III and enough arms for your new Inf Corps, assuming you didn't screw with that retooling too.

You sure you want to go out on a limb like that? Actually, thought I'd stop off and take the lads skiing. It's gotta snow soon... -
