lol i dont really think a norwegan operation is a mistake cuz not only does it give u a couple mines and xtra mpps, and of course combat experience as any operation does, but - 1. it helps to anchor ur northern flank as germany 2. it helps anchor ur northern flank as britain 3. it gives u bomber and fighter bases against denmarkl and germany 4. it gives u uboat and bomber bases againts britain 5. it gives u sum line of sight intelligence of northern britain 6. its a good base for a diversionary invasion or northern britain 7. it gives u a base for a main invasion of britain as for turkey, ive done an invvasion of turkey as the axis my goals were - 1. gain control of constantinople/istanbul 2. gain control of the bopsporus and access to the black sea 3. use it as a base for an invasion of the caucasus, which during 1 of my campaigns in russia, was INSTRUMENTAL in greatly shortening the russian campaign, as - 1. it forced the red army to split its forces and weaken its frontline 2. i was able to capture a large part of russian oil production, and mpp production or a sweden operation, cuz it gives u extra mpps, and bomber bases for northern russia a n

and dont forget Dover

as for the baleirac islands, however theyre spelled i cant rmember - Palma (old Spanish name Palma de Mallorca) is the major city and port in the island of Majorca (in Catalan: Mallorca) and capital city of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands in Spain. It is situated on the south coast of the island on the Bay of Palma. As of the 2003 census, the population of the city of Palma proper was 367,277, and the population of the entire urban area was estimated to be 462,010, ranking as the 12th-largest urban area of Spain. Almost half of the total population of Majorca live in Palma. Historically, the city and island have been regularly invaded. The city prospered most greatly when it was the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca, a part of the Aragonese Crown, in the 13th and 14th centuries. Many of the most noted historic buildings in the city date from this period and show the characteristic Gothic style, notably the cathedral (built from 1230 to 1600) and the mixed Moorish-Spanish style of the Palau de l'Almudaina. The archipelago of Cabrera, though widely separated from Palma proper, is administratively considered part of the municipality. so perhaps majorca should have a port?

iceland too i completelyt forgot about iceland lol iceland had a crucial role in ww2, as a weather predictor and as a base for allied aircraft and warships patrolling the atlantic for uboats iceland needs a port as well definitely Reykjavík id say

yep, i was right - Vichy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Vichy is a spa and resort town of around 60,000 in central France, near Clermont-Ferrand, in the département of Allier, of which it is a sous-préfecture. Vichy is remembered as the capital of Vichy France.

i dont know if this has been discussed before, and i didnt see it wen i looked for it so here goes as we all know wen france goes under its divided into occupied and vichy france i think that if and wen u invade vichy france, and take marseilles, the vichy government should surrender, and france should be reunified, and all the colonies should all immeadiately, regardless of whos occupying them, be rreturned to french control and if i rmember right, and im not sure, the capital of vichy france was not Marseilles, but the cioty of Vichy, whcih of course bcame the govt name any thoughts>?

im not saying EVERY historical port edwin i just mean ports for - France - Le Havre- NE of cherbourg i believe Cherbourg- west of the normandy landing beaches maybe Calais Sicily - Messina maybe Syracuse Sardinia - at least 1 port, ill have to do research corsica - at l;east 1 port crete - at l;east 1 port cyprus -at least 1 port azores maybe? so ya, theres a few ports i think that sardinia WAS invaded if i remember right ill have to do sum research it was sumtime before or after the sicily invasion

from LAUNCHING air raids? this doesnt make much sense i think it should be that a carrier is only damaged wen it is hit by enemy aircraft or other warships

lol JP i think Messina needs to be there Messina is the third largest city on the island of Sicily, Italy and the capital of the province which bears its name. Messina has a population of 260,000. ~ wikipedia encylopedia 260,000 people huh? that seems pretty big to me thats already 4.3 times bigger than my city....

i do realize that but there could be a limit as to how many bases a tile could supoport

malta was very strategically important but so was messina without holding messina, the allies couldnt have taken or controlled sicily and without sicily, they couldnt have invaded italy messina was the reason for invading sicily and italy was the reason for invading sicily

i disagree i believe the desc for SCET was that u are SUPREME COMMANDER of ALL forces - land AND AIR AND SEA so this isnt just a land war game its air and sea and victory on land cant or at least not easily be won without control of the air and the allies couldnt have won without control of the atlantic

wat about the way that italy switched sides wen they surrednered in 43? after italy surrendered the new govt declared war on the axis

wow the possibliities are endless

in SCET, belgium and holland are like 1 country, the low countries will it be like this in SC2? or will they be seperate nations? likewise with the baltic states?

6 MONTHS? :eek: DAMN

were a vital part of D-Day without them, dday would never have been successful it would also add an historical feel PS- i know ive been rapid fire posting, but i just wanted to put sum ideas forward for the game

lol i think it would be an interesting addition and help add a bit of realism,but not be too complex outer limits lol?

nono there were a few Qships in ww2 i rmember a history special on it

really? i dont think ive ever seen them lol any links? id love to look at them im not trying to be a PITA, i jus want to help the realess lol

Q-Ships- these ships were special merchant ships armed to suprise and defeat uboats wen they were on the surface, and they had success with this will they be represented? Merchant Raiders - these infamous ships, such as the Penguin, Comet, and the very well known Atlantis, had quite a few successes 1 of them, i believe it was Cormorant, sank the Australian Heavy Cruiser HMAS Australia! any thoughts on these? Representation of Merchant Ships - we all know the merchasnts are there, plying their trade, but, where are the ships? we cant see them perhaps u should have to "build" a convoy and set it out with escorts within the convoy? and they can be tracked and attacked? any thoughtsx on any of this?

was CRUCIAL in WW2 this HAS been represented, but we all know it wasnt really represented in its full scope IE, surface warships had no effect even wen in the middle of the convoy lanes and no matter how many uboats u had in the atlantic, the merchant(MPP) losses could only go to to 40 MPP per turn tho this is quite a drain and can severely hurt britain in the game wen combined with bombing but i think it should be expanded the more uboats and the better they are, the more losses shoudl go up i thnik that perhaps it should be represented in merchant tonnage, and not MPPs, but i have not yet thot of how this could be done and wat about attacking industry even wen there are units in the same tiles and mine tiles?

idk if this has been mentioned so ill mention it lol intercoastal shippin, IE between the ports of britain was of great importance in WW2 will this be represented ? and wat about supply lines? if the axis invades egypt threy will need supply lines will these be represented? wat effect will warships and aircraft and subvs have on them>?

is not on the maps in sicily at least not in SC-I will it be included in SC2?

will the AI be more agressive? wen i play the allies i usually start with the fall weis campaign and play thru but the german AI NEVER invades norway like germany really did or tries to invade britain i think the ai should be more agressive, for both sides any thoughts>?
