In HAVE attended a Wif-Con. I did NOT disparage etc. When I say that playing speed-chess is not a good method to evaluate the value of a particular opening for...
Of course, GE subs were used in the Indian ocean and they did use JP bases. If this happened historically - even though it won't in WiF - why is the obvers...
I changed the subject line (which started as an argument about House of Rules optionals). As I have previously noted, I was the USA (and France) in that...

Now responding to the original thread. If we assume that WiF is trying to simulate history- Japanese DoWs on minors (other than a short list that would fall...

... Nit: Back then, the US controlled the serious oil, and didn't much care about who got the dregs from e.g. Rumania or the NEI. What the US did care about,...
I know German subs and commerce raiders were in the Indian Ocean and even in Australian waters, albeit in much smaller numbers (the subs I mean) than in the...
So, after much ado and upgrading of the war room the gauntlet was finally picked up by me and we got started on the Super-Balbo Challenge. A Vassal Global War...

Waiting for the Allies to enter Vichy can be quite a gamble. In a recent game we had, the Allies attacked Metro Vichy and took some of the BPs before the turn...
Yes, they managed that much. If I hadn´t been greedy for Polish pilots and had taken it in 2nd impulse Yugo would have been MUCH harder (the Romanians...
Interesting report, keep 'em coming. Guess we see another optional rule (mandatory J-USSR peace allowed but houseruled not after USSR & Ge at war) that may be...

I do not think this game calls for any rules changes to USE. There is not a way in the game to model the US getting less mad at Japan because Japan stands...
Thanks for the clarification, Steve. As you will recall, I missed those turns. How did Paul (wearing his Italian hat) get the canal? Overland. Or did he ...

That I do not recall. Wavell went to France and a UK INF holed up in Palestine with the Palestinian TERR in an attempt to keep Iraq neutral. The starting...
That rule was Tobias' suggestion btw. I simply prefer to play without a mandatory peace, since I find it to be a silly rule that encourages gameyness. But...
Hello, How ? Italy can't setup in Eritrea and It TRS can't reach beyond the Red Sea, so how can troops in the Horn of Africa can be evacuated in Impulse 1 ? ...
On the other hand, we don't play with no-surprised-zoc, which was on top of my most-wanted optionals. After that, I did have some negotiations leverage. Cheers...
As Hakon has pointed out, that house-rule was from me and it is basically because of a common sense limitation on the mandatory peace rule. I don´t really see...
Here are the options being used: A Deluxe Game with Divisions, Artillery, Pacific and Asian map ZOCz, Supply units, Fortifications, Combat Engineers, Flying...
I would never take Madagascar and would just base in Italian Somaliland and so would never take that penalty. The USE hit is not only the CW DOW on Japan, but...

Hi, I'm new to WiF, and am reading through the rules for the first time. I'm frequently hitting abbreviations that haven't been defined anywhere. Is there a...
