why the next impulse? assuming a new port is in same sea zone to the old port where the loaded trs ends its move, but connecting to the next sea zone where you...
btw, you don't even need to do a cw super combined to invade, all you need is 1 naval move (queens) and 1 land move (mar) and land attack (mar), the us has to...
Hey, if US TRS reorg the Queens, it cost twice the reorg points to reorg it, there would need an awful lot of TRS. But, seriously now, as I already pointed...
ITPOTE doesn't affect subs so the analysis is spurious. I agree - and have stated so in many a previous post - that the BoA doesn't work as it should in WiF....
The original mail was in reply to the contention that WiF doesn't give ships enough 'legs' and aims to show that this isn't so. I agree, if anything I believe...
No they won't, you are moving from port to port. ... You will also need to re-org the marine as it will be face-down after each RTB move. ... TRS. ... ...
..what the defender chooses... of course. ... If you have no MOT/MECH/HQ unit and it was a blitz, the first loss can be anything the attacker chooses. As for...
huhh? why the defender? in the absence of mandatory first loss units (winterised, engr or mot etc), the *attacker* chooses any other involved unit to be the ...
Patrice people like it, throw em a bone and let them keep it. BTW in miles at 29.5 knots a ship goes 5,700 miles in a week. The irony for me is that a land...
I used to think a basic problem with WiF and naval combat was the I-go, You-go sequential movement system. There isn't much of a way around such a system...
Better bring along a Mot. Div. in that case. It is SOP after all. ... What if you have no mot, mech or arm-hq, and the defender choose blitz, and you suffer a...
Don't think it sucks for the Kriegsmarine either. There never was a Jutland-type action in WWII. Only smaller scale. ITPOTE helps in achieving that by tempting...
That's news to me. ... huhh? why the defender? in the absence of mandatory first loss units (winterised, engr or mot etc), the *attacker* chooses any other...
leave the queen in suez, no need to reorg. read the mail. this proposal is to illustrate, that you can get a corps from the uk to tokyo by naval moves within 1...
so you've played it that the defender gets free picking? frex china in mountain hex takes blitz to avoid 2 losses, jp as usual has no mot involved (and most...
never figured *why* the kriegsmarine never sailed out in strength. once the bismark sailed around scapa, then the tirpitz, then some others went through the...
... I have been following this discussion with interest, and I suspect the naval movement rules are further from its long term equilibrium than for example the...
Ok my head has been spinning now since my last post. I got more ideas! How about this variant for naval movement: Goal: More dynamics, action and fun to the...
Hi, In RTB phase it is said that a RTB move is exactly the same as a naval move, but in reverse. As during a naval move a TRS face up can go through a port,...
While I think what you are saying has merit I would consider two things. I'm not sure the scale of the game you are talking about- a WiF turn being 2 months...
I do not agree with that analysis. First off you should have a TF in the North Atlantic and Faroes and you can't then reach the North Atlantic (other than the...
No problem, this is possible (loading a face-up unit in a port where the TRS passes through, during a rebase naval move). Obviously, such a move must finish in...
... I think Victory in the Pacific had nine turns from Dec. '41 to Aug' 45 so sort-of six month turns I guess. A simplistic game yet finely tuned play. ... ...
I agree with Patrice (whew! I was beginning to think that might never happen again:) I guess this means a face-up naval unit aborting due to a combat abort or...
In land combat, if there is any choice (ie, more than one ARM/MOT/MECH unit in a blitz attack) the owning player always chooses losses, period. Cheers, Wendell...
Interesting point about the predictability of naval movement. Maybe to slow down a moving task force, the player with presence in the seazone should have to...
Seems we are talking at x-purposes: the guy who takes the losses and not the one who causes them always picks which unit to loose. (I.e. attacker's losses are...
KM didn' t do anything off WAfrika with surface ships. There was ONE raid early in the war in the North Atlantic which sank two dozend merchant men or so....
