Bromley if you are refering to n.korea,iran etc. as rouge nations they have noway of ever competeing with the americans in the military end of things.No matter what america does you cant stop terrorism with these high tech.weapons.Like you said they could very easily smuggle one in on a ship(so much for all the high tech).Even if it were found just think what would happen to our economy.You would now have to(theoretically)check every ship coming into every port.Impossible.No amount of tech.will prevent this.These so called rouge nations will never get strong enough or ever even try to get strong enough to compete with america militarily.Its to costly(u.s.a. debt now over 8 trillion).America is going to bankrupt themselves just like the russians did.It may take awhile,but it will happen.As far as black mailing goes;smuggling in a W.M.D. and setting it off would do it.

While all of those are historically accurate(we supplied russia with most of their trucks)you are in command not stalin.Its assumed you wouldnt have done all the stupid things he did.If you choose to invest lots in tank tech.then why shouldnt you have better tanks.Remember the early german tanks that attacked russia had real trouble(as did ALL their equipment)with the the russian terrian and the environemnt.If you are going to penalize russia you would also have to do the same to germany.Im sure you know about the trouble the germans had against the kvs.Also germanys tanks(narrow tracks)and trucks did terrible in the russian mud.This is reflected only equally in the game even though the t34 and the kvs had wide tracks and could go much better.Remeber this game in noway relects the true allied industrial might.If you make the game more historically accurate you would have to put allied war production at historical levels and then this game would be pointless.I think its balanced quite well the way it is.

Rambo i see your missles are really causing havoc.Im starting to use them.They sure are expensive.

Rambo i think the russians(and alot of other countries)dont trust the american military.Its not the average american.Your military now wants to weaponise space and take it over even though they have signed treaties banning such moves.Your militaries reasons are countries that are your allies may become your enemies so we have to be prepared.Who the hell is going to attack america with any type of missle?The only countries that have the ability dont want to die anymore than you or i do.Your military is CREATING enemies by acting like they are the only ones that matter.Why do you think china built that missle that can shoot down satellites from earth?Your military wants to deploy anti ballistic missles in poland because IRAN(what a joke)might fire a missle at them.How stupid do they think the russians are.If your military would STOP provoking other nations maybe other countries would stop distrusting you.As far as spending countles billions on theses ultra high tech.weapons for terrorists,your average terrorist isnt going try something that your expensive weapons can stop.They will probably set off a suitcase nuke(russia has''mispalced''some of theirs)or use some ultra nasty biological weapon(smallpox) not fire a ballistic missle.Im betting your military creates these so called"enemies"to justify the huge contracts awarded to them.It has nothing to do with national defence.No"enemies" no money.Sounds like good old GREED to me.

Rambo a hermaphrodite has both male and female sex organs.They are born that way.

Sometime this month(i believe).

Good idea lars.

Timskorn it looks like you got rambo in some trouble.

Blashy the amazing part about greed is that when does it become enough? What would happen if one country did aquire all the wealth in the world?Then what?I would think they would find some other way to try and control us.What would wealth(money) mean if you did have it all?Yes i agree;monitary greed will kill us all(wars pollution etc).

TaoJah i didnt know you were a gourmet cook(lol).I also didnt know french fries required that much attention.We candians only know about maple syrup and pancakes(lol).

The weather plays a big part(mud,snow etc).

Blashy dont forget greed.

As far as operating units and loosing morale its because(i think)you are taking the unit out of immediate supply.It also depends where you operate it to regarding its subsequent supply increases.

Chesster the squares vs hexes as been brought up many times.You will hear all the pros and cons.By the way im also a third reich player from the old days.Welcome to the group.You are going to meet some VERY interesting people.When you get better at the game we can P.B.E.M.Did you ever play third reich P.B.E.M.?

Is it now worth it to build ind.prod.,tech.?

Also the person represnting the minor country being attacked gets to deploy those forces(like in third reich).Atleast then you could setup the minor countries forces in a better position for defence(greece for example).

Kuniworth in the end i think the allies would win.No convoys for russia.We had the atom bomb(not many).We hoplessly controled the air.Remember what rommel said about the normandy invasion:if the allies get on, with their vastly superior airfleets they would prevent any german counterattack. (remember the mortain attack stopped prettywell by air attacks).In other words those massive russian tank forces would get wiped out.But i think it would be an major bloody battle.The only hope for russia is that we(the western world) would not go for yet another major conflict.

Ive said this before:Have war readiness increase or join the other side(especially if its a friendly neutral)if you violate the country in questions airspace or start massing troops on their border.

How will infrastructure effect railroads, etc?

Just think what would have happened if donitz had the 300 uboats he said he would need.

I think it would be nearly impossible to make a strategic ww2 game "historically accurate".To much would be involved(ultra etc.)The most realistic ww2 game ive ever played was squad leader.Because its right down to squad and single man commander its possible.That game had alot of rules and took along time to play some of the scenarios.I cant imagine how a strategic game could be made if you paid that much attention to detail.I personally would make some changes but overall sc2 allows for some very interesting and fun play because it ISNT radically historical.You can always set some basic ground rules before you start.

Arado:vet.Althoug,against you testers it could be trouble for me.Like nOKnOK says its just for fun.

How many units have been wiped out?WOW

Ok,P.B.E.M.
