But it was suicide historically. I doubt that you can make stuffing the border attractive enough to persuade rational gamers - unless you tip the whole thing...
Our France lasts usually until J/A. We are also using LOC Vichy which has a lot to do with it as FR usually pulls out of Paris when the going is good (i.e....
I disagree Herbert. Trying and failing still will have an effect on German production and deployment in the early game. Germany has to build low quality...
Perhaps, I should've been more precise. What I mean is that a stuff the border strategy which does NOT come off, i.e. allows a GE surprise impulse bun a RU...
Perhaps I should've been more precise. What i meant is that stuffing the border and FAILING to prevent a GE DOW is 'Suicide' - and was the historical...
<<This has the nice side effect of getting rid of the "ignore the Netherlands until 1941" German strategy.>> Is that necessarily a nice effect, however?...
On the other hand, Andrew's whole "no-US-war-in-Europe" strategy could have been easily avoided by the Axis if they had just agreed to the Soviet demands for...
I suggest that no action should be allowed which would take either US pool below zero, or if it is allowed, double the chits should be owed and must be placed...
Hi Bill, Quite right. You'll note I wrote "low quality units" ~ meaning MIL and GARs as first German build priority (and MTN I suppose). MECH can follow ...
I'm essentially agreed this time Herbert. One thing I will say is that if the Soviets are caught on the border, not having faded back, the good news is that...
In our current game, we are beginning 1941 and the Germany is about to embark on a '42 Barb. Due to very poor weather, France was able to last until 1941. The...
Play on. I like the Axis situation better than the Allies. Use the extra time and production to turn the German ARM and MECH into Heavy Weapons units and...
Herbert, I play with all of your optionals Except No ZOCs. This includes divisions, Territorials, but not Hitler's War. France never survives 1940 and seems...
I'm the Japanese player in the game. I have a pact with USSR where I am giving 2 BP for 3 Oil. I can break the pact at will. I haven't played Japan before...
I'd keep the oil if I were you ... unless Germany provided some big incentives otherwise for you (such as "here's India, I'll kill the defenders and let you...
We rarely see FR first in the sense that a large part of the GE sets up west. We do see games with enough force there to take out BE after reorganisation in...
The interesting thing is here how did this treaty come about? Unless you play a houserule such a treaty can only be made after surrenering in a war. And, no,...
My thanks in advance to anyone with the time to answer this post. I've been out touch with WIF for a few years, but played 4th/5th versions with all the chrome...
No idea. Did 4/5 ed. have reserve units? GE gets a ton in FE. ... My thanks in advance to anyone with the time to answer this post. I've been out touch with...
Poland isn't going to last long unless GE goes against some other target (FR?) in (too) great strength. AND - in all likelyhood - weather and/or die rolls are...

... Actually, the rules are silent on the issue. They don't state whether neutrality pacts can have additional terms or not. Most people (including, I...
A neutrality pact is not a peace arrangement. The rules allow trade agreements as part of a peace. They are silent on this issue elsewhere. This IMO equates to...
Sorry for the slow reply on this, I finally fished out my copy of the Annual with the rules as they were printed. If Germany and Italy control Syria & Cyprus...
I would side with Herbert on a 'rules interpretation' basis, but would rather play as per Russ's view ;-). Waffles for breakfast, Dave L. ... Cheers, Dave...
