  1. Over the years I have tried to introduce people to play this game old, and more importantly young. As I try to groom a new future generation of gamers there is one thing that really would help that is very easy. When I am teaching my 14 year old nephew how to play, we need to be able to set HIS side at either +1 or +2 expirience, and set HIS production at +50%, +100% or +200%. It is that simple.

    Instead of just being able to set the AI with these settings. Hubert has long said this would be a problem with people cheating in PBEM games or TCP games ? I do not see how? It should be very easy to should what each players settings are?

    This IS a strategic request. Let us garner, and train a NEW generation of gamers so our numbers grow and do not shrink.

    Make the game easier for a young person taking on a veteran, let the learn the game and then refine their play.

    Please VOTE your comments, a more diverse game equals more players!!!

    P.S. Thank all of you and especially Hubert!!

  2. There was no such thing as a free no casualty attack. Historicaly NO headquarters unit was fully destroyed in WWII, even Stalingrad had sent out a core of officers to reform, and ABSOLUTELY no headquarters was destroyed by aircraft, as in this game they are often singly sniped out by human players. Headquarters may not be offensive units but certainly should have substancial defense.

    I mean realisticaly what Army Group commander woould allow themselves to be destoryed without calling in ALL assets to save them?

  3. The English Navy was 8x bigger than the German Navy, the American Navy was bigger than the English and Japanese Navies combined. But in the same game that I am playing VS my exploit master friend There are German ,Battleships, Cruisers, destryers, and Massive quantities of u-bouts surrounding my USA ports. USA only starts with 1 Battleship, 1 Cruiser, and 1 Sub.

    Yet it was easily 16times the size of the German Navy.

    You may ask where is the Royal Navy. Trapped in the Med, after the conquest of england, and Spain.

    Please do not get me wrong this is an OUTSTANDINGLY FUN Scenario. It needs a little more fine tunning.

  4. I am in a game with a friend whom I have played with for 30 years. He is the Master of the exploit. He will literally play 15 games hotseat against himself to figure out exploits.

    Well he has! In our game he had italy declare war on France and invaded with the Germans through Italy and took out France. England did not join, or even really move toward war. Then he attacks england, and takes it out, Canada , and Eygpt could have cared less.

    Russia did get purturbed by all of this and in time did declare war, still we did not have a common border , and I was under prepared. He invades Poland finally and I poor in Russin units, who get ZERO supply assisting the Pole so I pull back.

    Only when he advances into Russia does the US get upset and declare war.

    Canada, has sworn Swiss nuetrality in this game.

    The random events are FANTASTIC, as two game will never play the same.

    But there are certain political certainties that need addressing.

  5. Submarines really did not hunt Sbmarines in either the First or Second World War, the simply did not have the technology. Although in both wars a few Subs were sunk by Subs.

    Subs were very good VS Battleship which is shown in the game a BB without proper escort is dead meat. Aircraft and Carriers defeated subs plain and simple as in real WWII time also..

    A human player who shrewdly moves and levels his subs, can cause great angst and destruction to his foe. The game gives you the oppertunity to have to be very clever, but you can, with out a lot of inginuity succeed with the current system.

  6. First, War and Nations are not predictable.

    Did you know that the German invasion of Norway was only a couple days ahead of the British and French invasion of Norway? The Allied ships were actually sailing to Norway when Germany beat them to the draw.

    Then of course there was the Altmark incident when a British warship intercepted a German ship in Norwegian Nuetral waters and captured it?

    So when the game gives you these very real problems, enjoy them.
