SeaWolf_48 Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 This is like a posting done two months ago, and there was nothing done after that engagement. The SC gods want the game to be balanced, and not Historically accurate. Therefore there should be two different scenarios. One that is balanced for Allied and Axis play (like now), and one scenario that gives the MPP's that were historic. This would cause Germany to lose every time, because of the overwhelming economic power. Ah Ha! But how long could they last before defeat! I did the same research and every book and writer has different numbers for every topic, it's very confusing. My final numbers for Military Economic Spending looks like this. In 1940 US Dollars USA 39 thru 45 ......158 Billion Br 39 thru 45 ...... 53 Billion USSR 39 thru 45 ...... 67 Billion Ger 39 thru 45 ...... 66 Billion It 39 thru 43 ...... 6 Billion Jap 39 thru 45 ...... 24 Billion As you can see Italy will not become a super power with these numbers. German money will have to get more bang for their buck, stronger units for their price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka of Carthage Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I did the same research and every book and writer has different numbers for every topic, it's very confusing. Ain't that the truth. Especially when most of them are using the same sources! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I remeber reading an estimate on the calculation of the cost of the war. Regardless the figured spending and it was a figure that all the money in all the World couldn't cover what was spent in WW2. The different economies would make it difficult to account for any particular # Socialist/Democratic/Communist and each Minor's involvement as well. I'm certian as I've mentioned before Romania put as much cash in as Italy in Black Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka of Carthage Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Military Economic Spending Lets do an exercise. If I take SeaWolf_48s' numbers, here are the MPP equivalents. ................3R.........SW48.............SC Italy...........60...........15.............115 Germany....120.........120.............120 France.........68...........??............100 UK............100..........96............178 USA..........216..........287............180 (720) Soviets.......72..........122............480 Japan.....................48 Using Well Dressed Gentlemens' calcuations, and taking the midpoint (ie 3x's lend lease), then the USA should have 720 MPPs. Taking any of these historical numbers would destroy the balance of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
