Hubert Cater Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 It's OK to have operational movement for units more than 5 hexes from a city, but not OK for limited supply or reinforcements?Not sure what you mean here, operational movement is dependant on current supply (>= 5 for land units and >= 3 for air units) and not necessarily distance since HQ's can provide supply as well.

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 Also: i just noticed that in the demo if you set russia to ' historical' it annexes the baltic states in june of 1940. In reality they had them 'annexed' in 1939. Is this just becuz of the limited time in the demo or perhaps an 'oversight' [ June 29, 2002, 10:02 PM: Message edited by: Carl Von Mannerheim ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchdog Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 CVM: In case you havent noticed, there are only 2 sides to this war, Axis and Allies! There are Axis Majors and Axis Minors, Allied Majors and Allied Minors. Certainly we should all be satisfied with Finland as a Minor country. When you get your editor you are free to change Finland to a Major if you like (I assume). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 You all fail to realize, i am in no way out to make finland a major power, all im trying to do is make the point that this conflict cannot be forgotten. The makers of SC have a unique opputunity here to create the best ww2 startegy game of all time. In many respects, they already have, i will still buy the game whether or not this is included. However the makers will have failed to capitalize on an oppurtunity to truly make a 'classic' wargame. PS. cant wait to use that editor~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the makers will have failed to capitalize on an oppurtunity to truly make a 'classic' wargameI seriously doubt the addition of the Winter War is going to make or break this game. Is anyone else tired of hearing about the Finns yet? Seriously though, without absolutely barely trained incompetant leadership and logistics, the Soviets would have more than likely done quite a bit better in the Winter war than they did. The only thing that would really be interesting about the Winter War being included would be the possibility of the Allies actually declaring war on the Soviets and going to Finland's rescue as they almost did, but since this can't be done with the current engine, that's out.

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 A hasty retreat? :eek: Well i can see that ive been outmanuevered here. I'd like you all to know im sure as hell no Finn, i hail from missouri and have no finnish heritage, in fact in that respect im a brit. I just feel that this conflict has been neglected too long. I know that a change will not happen for sc (maybe sc2????) but anyway ill shall not back down. I shall not flag nor fail, I shall go on to the end. I will fight them in the forums, i shall fight them in the chatrooms, i shall never surrender. (Had to do that) Alas, guess i have to get my programing book out......

pzgndr Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 ive been outmanuevered here Take a chill pill already. Most of us fully recognize the current limitations with the game. What really needs to happen with some future version is to make Italy and Russia active neutrals from the start. That would then permit diplomacy or skirmishes for the Finnish border hexes, Bessrabia, etc. Even permit Russia to attack Turkey if they want. With FOW, playing Italy and Russia prior to being at war with the majors would be really interesting. Build and deploy your forces, perform research, conduct minor campaigns, etc. But it ain't gonna happen this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that with text based communications people cant really tell, its best to just say what you mean. emoticons don't help as it is not uncommon for people to put them after an insult to pretend that it isn't an insult.
