mike dorosh and jasonc had an AAR on here a couple years ago. It was pretty entertaining. Just beware of the Dorosh mods - painful!!!!Originally posted by Salkin:Oh, and I just wanted to say that I would really like to read an AAR by someone who has fought JasonC, or maybe an AAR by JasonC himself (spare me some of the details though, I have a short attention span
).//Salkin

Been that way in most of europe for awhile now.Originally posted by Blashy:FYI, birthrate in Russia is so low now that the population has started to decrease.

Wire spotters may become scouts, but they will be anything but quick.Originally posted by C'Rogers:My main worry is, that under the current system where there is no penalty, won't FOs after they have directed all the ammo just become a quick disposable scout?

exactly where would that plane land?

to elaborate for runyan, the blitz has a (IMO) great CM community and a very nice ladder system. 294 individuals posted 721 CM games in the last 90 days. Go to the blitz and you will not have a problem finding an opponent.

"The goal is to get as many different units, ie strategies involved for replayability, employing them in their historically realized roles."
SM, I like that.

Hubert needs to make a SC2 quick-battle generator. it would definitely allow for lot of variety.

It isnt just because of one game. It seems a number of people here think that the first thing for the axis to do is dump 5 diplo chits into spain. This gives the allies no option but to try to counter, which they cannot really even do because the dont have enough MPPs.
Seems pretty lame - for every game!
-
Anybody using any house rules that limit spain diplo?
I am in a game where spain went up to 88 in three turns, despite me putting france and UK diplo chits in. It sucks!
-
You have to be kidding.
-
How does spain's axis stance go from 40 to 77 in one turn?
This is on my third allied turn. No US ships to cause affect spain.

I hope you arent referring to me, because I there is no "your country sucks" in my post. what i dont like is the "no political speech unless it is GWB bashing" attitude - which your post reinforces.Originally posted by Normal Dude:Can we please stop the "my country is better your countries all suck" posts here... it's kind of retarded making generalizations of millions of people, regardless of whether it is America, France, or Nepal.
Or if you want to, go to the proper forum to do it.

The point is that IMO many people, esp europeans, have the faulty idea that Americans dont even like GWB so it is ok to bash on him. But the reality is that America is a much more conservative place than europe or canada, and so I dont think that political speech should be denounced unless someone is bashing on GWB.Originally posted by Stalin's Organist:Much of hte ability of the US military to protect the free world is of course based around contributions by all sorts of other nations - the US could not and did not "go it alone" in this task.
As for stepping on the toes of lots of americans - what's your point?
Agreed - and here is a monster pile.How this thread has not yet been locked amazes me as there is more bull**** here than in your average cattle yard.We Canadians generally join with the Europeans in denouncing:1. the Invasion of Iraq (In my opinion the invasion of Afghanistan was a good thing and there was just cause);
2. Rampant American aggression around the world;
3. Disregard for the opinions of other nations;
4. The rise of the religious conservatives in your country;
5. Ignorance of anything non-American;
6. George Bush and his good ol' boys club in general.

George Bush bashing drives me crazy. America is a right-leaning, conservative nation. The ideology of the average american is much, much closer to that of George Bush than John Kerry or Screamin' Dean. So when you guys pounce on Bush, you are stepping on the toes of lots of Americans.Originally posted by Retributar:Honch! ... im with you on your comment's,...i just sold my house in 'Oregon City', Oregon and have moved back to Canada for some of the reason's you just stated!.
Im afraid that 'George Bush' may have some underhanded plan up his sleeve to stay in power after his Presidency legitimately comes to it's end!.
What he is doing right now reminds me of how 'Adolf Hitler' consolidated the situation and rose to the postion of 'Full Time Dictator'!.
And when you are back in canada safe and secure - remember that it is the US military (built under the direction of right-wing politicians) that protects your county.

did you ever get any takers? If not I will help, although I dont know much about east front history.

Might as well include moral bombs as purchasable units that you could release whenever you want... oh nevermind, we already have that.Originally posted by Lars:Er, did you watch the documentary on Goebbels the other night? These guys pretty darn near invented the morale bomb.
And the Stuka sirens scream on down…

blashy - we arent talking about stopping the allied landing
-
Lars, your "cost-benefit" argument I can stomach. But my point is that right now the moral bonus can be used as a tactical weapon - and some people (eg Blashy) say that is OK!?!?!
And dont get me wrong - I love the game and I like the moral system. But dont try to say that tactical moral bumbs arent gamey!!!!

Even if you did buy into this argument, which I dont - the rules still need to be modified because of gamey abuses. Holding off taking a country until the turn before you attack Moscow is so preposterous - it baffles the mind that Blashy would even try to support it and say that it is a valid reflection of real life.Originally posted by Blashy:Because as Dave stated, news travels fast.
They might not know where Tunisia is but they know ANOTHER country has been taken. One country, the moral bonus is not much but when news comes that 2-3 countrie have fallen it becomes cumulative, you're this soldier who knows nothing of the world (this is the 40s) and you keep hearing about the German war machine kicking everyones ass and now you have to face the juggernaut, your morale would be just as low. Even in todays world it would affect morale, soldiers asking "is no one doing anything about this?" .

it is gamey because you are exploiting a game function for a completely unrealistic result. That is my definition of gamey. I wonder if Hitler ever thought, "Lets wait to take denmark until right before we attack Moscow. That will surely cause Stalin to throw in the towel." That so rediculous, i.e. GAMEY!Originally posted by Barcelona 1936:Well IMHO it isn,t gamey becuse ... if you dont take Denmmark ... I take more risk and employ more time in the first phases in the war but this tactic help me in the big task ( conquer Ussr with less units) there is a trade off time an points for moral boost.
-
That sure seems gamey. The morale boost from benelux affecting french/brits/germans makes sense. A similar boost for taking over vichy affecting the soviets the turn before you attack moscow makes no sense, IMHO.Originally posted by jon_j_rambo:@Barcelona1936 --- Interesting concept of waiting to take minors as a method for a power punch to take your favorite cities in Mother Russia.
