  1. Okay, now that the dude living in the village has been helped, my turn.

    Is this going to be easy to install? Is it going to take a college level course to play? I don't wanna hear all this copy this folder, read the manual twice, tweak Windows, etc...I will be buying SC-WW1, I don't give a stink about the cost. I spent $68 on a tank gas for my ride today, I play $200/unit on my hoop plays. I go thru 2 to 3 computers per year.

    Just ship & bill the Legend......keep it easy,

  2. still got 6 games going at once. Had 8 going for awhile (when we were playing)......way too many, has affected my play, don't have the energy for that many at once. Impossible to track enemy units & concentration. Plus, I wanted to try new strategies for fun since I've been rolling over everybody. This round is different, my risk taking might put more losses in for me.

    I'm losing my Federer bet right now against the Serbian with power :( Only reason I'm up late. Gotta sleep, alot of stuff going on in my business world.

  3. Hi Pacestick.

    Why should the Axis player get free Battleships when he invades to poor remains of Vichy France?

    I would guess that it is the other way: the allies get some Battleships from Vichy once the Axis declares war against Vichy.

    The axis player has a chance to get some vichy vessels if he invades the Island Fort de France (if he has chosen accordingly in the repsective decision event).

    I may be wrong here, but i think that the scripts are working fine while you innocently misunderstood something.

    @XW --- That's what Pacestick is saying. Why are the Axis getting battleships? I'm playing as the Axis against Pacestick. I received 2 full strength battleships (without tech), despite the fact he paid the dough as the British in the script.

  4. I agree with you, if (and only if) the point of view is "overall guarantee of victory". I prefer to see things as an individual, thru the glasses I wear.....no way am I hitting the beach like cannon fodder into a bore sighted mined beach with barbed wire. Let Eisenhower charge with the bangelow torpedo while I make charts & such. Same goes for today, feel bad for these dudes on road side guard duty in Iraq. Just nuke 'em & save your own ppl.

  5. Iwo Jima was never used as an Air Base, bunch of dudes got blasted for nothing, IMO. If I was commander, just bypass, starve them out. Yeah, one guy surrendered in 1970, but that's one dude, not an Army. One dude can eat fish. 20,000 dudes need grub.

    I've never understood the American strategy in the Pacific. Dropping guys off in rubber boats at Tarawa to get blasted, for what? A newspaper clipping of a victory, that has no significance in my opinion....all political. As a commander, there's no way, I'm sitting my troops on a beach called Iwo Jima, Tarawa, whatever. Same goes for D-Day. I'd just sit back and bomb civilians. Save my own troops. Same goes for Iraq or whatever. Air Force is king....super weapons....focus.

    Once naval superiority was established (and it was quickly) in the Pacific, don't drop troops off on worthless islands. Just starve them out, where they going? Why do you need the island? Is an a rock in the middle of a vast ocean have any value? Not in my opinion. Drop some mustard gas on Iwo Jima......kick back on the USS Missouri, drink coffee, wait a few months. Those Japs would starve......if the people at home disagreed because they are impatient, then ask them if they want their sons to live or not.

    The Enola Gay flew from Trinian, Marianna Islands, I thought.

    Nuke 'em, "it is finished".

  6. How much Ammo did a warship have? Meaning, yeah, it's safe for the USS Missouri to sit 40 miles off shore & bomb away, but what is realistic & effective?

    Perfect example would be Iwo Jima. USN & USAAF pounded away for 48 hours or something? Could they have sat there for a full month shelling? How much Ammo & overheating of the guns can be done?
