Surprise needs fixing for ports.
I believe that if you move next to an unseen unit in port and are surprised by it the port defence is not included for the defender.
Best way to kill a fleeing ship is to get surprised by it the turn after it flees.

If attack/ defence numbers can only be integers what about doubling each attack/ defence value and making the tech up steps only 1. This may capture the same effect that you like.
Gues the current attack/ defence formulas may then need examination......then more follow on effects would impact
Probably being naieve here with this solution
Thanks

Ate the French too fragile now with Winter amendments.
Playing 2 games at the mo whereby Benelux was taken in turn 2. This then resulted in quick French defeats Dec 39.
I probably need to perhaps practice a few French defences to determine suitable counter but was wondering if others have seen the same effect....ie French crumbing quicker than previous versions

Looking for a game tonight (European UK time?)
Starting about 8pm tonight
Am a relative newby looking for a mix of tcpip and pbem
will check my icq or my email
235-371-190
Hopefully see someone in there
Bye

Totally agree with the last point...have flagged before that I believe the issue with amphib landings could have been dealt with easier if when calculating landing losses the variance in fleet (and air units) should have a large impact....within a certain range (5-6 moves)
This would make it imperative for axis to force RN to retreat or fight it.
Do not believe an amphib landing was possible against even naval parity in ww2...look at Guadalcanal with the risks the Japanese took to reinforce...unsuccessfully....and this wasn't even amphib assault

In tcpip games have noticed that the time limits are fine during the early part of the war but a struggle later on.....an option to adjust these during the game with the consent of both sides would be great...
an other alternative would be to allow the non-phasing player to conduct passive actions such as checking research, diplomacy and even pre-building units for the start of his turn
-
I got 3 f french naval units in my game....gotta say it was crucial in keeping allied naval superiority (equality in med)...are these 20% as well
Yours lucky

Why does Vichy remain post France liberation....cannot envisage allies having to declare war on vichy to enter.....at least when all german units are removed from France
G
-
that means german intel is worth far more than allied intel as it impacts more countries...
immediately think this is a potent tool if axis go down this route..
cant see how allies benefit from this as they have to expend far more to remain in race
-
Does Intel give Germans an advantage...ie all allies have to match German tech so as not be disadvatnaged, so eg USA/ UK and Russia must all get chits in this.
However re Germans as long as one allied is underpowered they have a chance to get!
Seems ludicrous that outnumbering opponenet means you are at science disadvantage
G
-
hope soft buils ignore any pt development in the patch as i agree with blashy re manpower limits.
PT negates this effect so if you want these units you should really pay for 'em
still dont get the sealion restrictions......but make amphib assaults harder...the germans could not do them in 1940 period.....look how long dieppe took to plan and cock up....never mind d-day

On amphib I think the following solution would answer a lot of questions
allow amphibs to land as they currently do but make damage far more bloody and far more likely for every enemy ship/ aircraft in excess of allied air/ship within say a 5 square (intercept) range.
It should be bloody enough that any peroson would strive for dominance of air/ sea before risking any units
This means the Germans must neutralise the RN/ RAF before any sealion
G
-
Iit perhaps preferential to wait for Russians to declare war first...reducing USA entry.
If the common Russian strategy is to keep unis away from the border it is not as if the Germans get much of an advantage declaring war since they do not wipe out units in first turn
G
-
Number 6 seems a bit too dramatic wiping out one whole axis strategy! Also allows UK to leave UK totally ungarrisoned to aid the middle east
Would have prefered instead it to be:
a) before Egypt or Gibralter captured.....freeing up Italian naval resources therefore to assist...
or
no sealion before jan 41G
-
What are the common list of options that need to be switched on/off for a pvp...ie
soft builds on I now believe is one ,
and I know re disabling 'undo move'.
Are there any other options?
What are the current moves/ tactics that are suggested as 'banned'to make the scenario fairer ie
using americans and italians naval whilst neutral to spot
Anything re sealion?
no amphib landing on major on declaration of war?
Any others out there?
Want to ensure if I host a game that I use all the options as expected

Do you get Siberian reserves if the Germans have not got close enough to activate them for June42.
One German tactic could be to wait until July 42 before closing in on these areas

My icq is 235-371-190 and I am looking for any newby to help in learning the game

I am working through a belkin router for cable and just have the 192 ip address.
I have set up TCP port 6530 as per the manual but i do not know how to find my external ip address to give our....any suggestions?

Now whilst I've bumped this thread up may as well ask if anyone (up for giving a newby a lesson )is up for a tcpic game UK time tonight....
if so send me an e-mail
I know that I should use the opponent finder but look how often people post on that!
-
I have loaded ICQ and found Cases ladder for inclusion.
Now how do I find a willing opponent as the ladder is there to record results.
Bye
G
-
Any recommendations re finding opponents.
The opponent finder forum does not get many hits and have tried several times to find people for TCPIP unsuccessfully here
Dont have ICQ set up and dont know where to start on that front....ie getting program for ICQ and how this helps?
Where is the ladder located to allow joining?
Sorry for the 'obvious questions' here but getting frustrated and the AI is not exactly too taxing
Thanks
G
PS Anyone (newby?) up for TCPIP tonight (UK time). If so please e-mail me. Would like a time-limited gameover a few regular week night slots

I did mention this before but it ties in with the thread above:
Any damage units on landing crafts take upon landing is dependant on enemy aircraft and ships numbers/ strength/supply/ proximity to landing spot minus allied ship and aircraft.
Damage should be quite severe if there is a large enemy vs allied ratio and proximity to ensure that you make a sweep of these unit types before landing......should be a 3/4 square area response max however to expose these defending ships/ aircraft units protecting the beaches to attack themselves....and simulater quick response required.
Thoughts on the above??
Still prefer next turn landing but the option above should be relatively easy to implement. Makes one side have to scour the seas close to the landing sites and makes the other side have to keep air/navy units generally close to these sites.
Other option is to make landing crafts land next turn but give them land zone of control to make it more difficult for defending LAND units to rush to beaches and physically stop landing just by being there

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but my easy fix suggestion is:

no sealion before jan 41
TCPIP opponent UK time tonight?
in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Posted
Thought I was reasonably OK at this game through PBEM and got a nasty shock in my first TCPIP game.....pulled off a win but PLENTY of basic errors by me against someone new to the game
Would love to get my experience up on this.
Anyone fancy a game around 2000hrs UK time tonight. Can generally play UK evenings most nights and willing to move between this PBEM if needed.
Look forward to hearing from someone here or on ICQ (235371190)
Word or warning for anyone too experienced.....will be asking questions as I play
Thanks
G
