Hi all, I recently started a game and we're going to try out the proposed accumulated damage rules. This is what I found on the list (from Bruce): "The...
... You just need 1 hit to sink the BB3. Of course, the BB3 is going to be screened (and probably withdraw from combat after round 1 anyway) so it might not...
The most current rules should now be up on the website (with the exception of accumulated naval damage, which will be tried out in many of the convention...

I must admit that this seemed out of the blue to me, but I'm trying to consider the topic fairly. In doing so, I did some internet research on the size of...
I wouldn't object to one 2x3 and four 1x3s - i was more thinking that with six 1x3s the defence against Italy in Albania would be the same as now (maybe...

Hi, Perhaps Bruce can enlighten us on the reasons for the original strength of the Greek army, but during the war, the Greeks proved particularly resilient to...
As I see it, there are really three factors to consider. 1. What was the historical level of Greek forces, and is that best represented in AWAW? 2. How...
It was a design error inherited from the original game. One 2x3 and six 1x3s would defend against Italy just as well as now, but would make Athens easier to...

I have no problem with one 2x3 and four 1x3s. But I don't see how any analysis can show that this allows Greece to defend again Italy better than one 2x3 and...

I like the idea of the smaller units for the Greeks. Whether it's (6) 1x3 or (4)1x3 is mostly irrelevant to me, though I think I would prefer 6. This may make...

If we really want to see more historical attacks into Greece we should also address what I think is ahistorical levels of partisan activity. Historically...
On the topic of partisans, I have arrived at the opposite conclusion. They are hardly worth building, and BRP constraints in Britain and Russia prevent their...
