Hello everyone, I'm going to be very interested in participating within a multi-player online WiF + Days of Decision III campaign game using VASSAL, once Ken...
You don't need to be able to do 15 knots in order to do trans-oceanic shipping. In fact, in WWII CW used slow convoys (6-8) and fast convoys (9-12) (numbers by...
Hi, Just for info...I'd personnally love a game of WiF with 4 players, assuming we can get a voice server....I am not so hot about DOD Good luck finding...
Question? Can the UK keep its oil overseas in canada, and as long as its convoys, or a tran/amph can trace to it at the end of the turn is this ability...
Any oil you get as part of a trade agreement needs to be transported to your controlled territory and can't be used for reorg the turn you transport it. Oil...
Think of RAW Oil as using a very, very long straw. You can drink it from anywhere in the world if you can find path to it (and you own the milkshake during...
So presumably this applies to any CW territory, eg you can ship the NEI, Burma and Iranian oil to, say, India or Australia and then as long as you have a basic...
You are correct. And you are also correct in thinking that it seems a little odd. I try to stash a barrel or two in India or Australia in advance, in case the...
You are correct. Also you do not need to ship the Burmese oil anywhere to use it for reorg because you control Burma, same for NEI once you align Holland. ...
So if you are at sea you are in supply, but you can only reorg ships and subs at sea with the RAW oil rule if there is a chain of transports and cps leading...
No. Ships at sea do not trace to oil. While some may say otherwise and others may use home rules but the rules say all ships at sea are always in supply....
Lane is right. I'd add that I seem to remember that the last consensus about how this *should* work (as a *house rule*) was that the oil for reorg should be ...
Hi, I finally found time to play (solitaire) the fascist tide scenario and got to M/A 1940 all set for the west invasion (I have been playing following history...
Hi Dupond, DoD III is a key part of the type of WiF game I'm looking for, but I will include your name on a secondary list nonetheless. Cheers! ... assuming we...
The best defence in France consists of the following (if you're playing WiF Deluxe - divisions, Planes in Flames, and so on): (1) When Germany attacks Belgium,...
Hi, Just to say that such a french defense is IMHO not so 'common', it is usually describe as 'Strong BEF' version. The most common defense is only one hex...
Quite true. However, given a passive Italian (not getting involved until, say summer of '40), the CW can afford to put new land reinforcements from England ...
In my opinion if you're going for the Big BEF you should make sure to be at war with Italy as soon as possible in S/O '39 (barring some US entry miracle) to...
Sink the Italian transports on the surprise impulse and you're good for a year. It pays to see what Italy does initially. If they set up aggressively vs. CW...
just two comments Big BEF (or strong BEF) has to be planned nearly from setup for setting your TRS, so it is difficult for the CW player to adapt to the...
Lane is right. In our current game we are using a house rule that all flipped ships at sea must nominate a port they can return to (whether or not they ...
A lot of the replies mentioned trying not to use an OC, let alone both of them. This is something I often try to avoid as well. Much nicer to have 2 OCs in...
Lane, I agree that they are in supply but under the RAW oil rule: 13.5.1 paragraph four "...you must be able to trace a path from the unit to the oil resource....
Patrice, I don't think Lane is right. Could you explain a little more as to why you feel Lane is correct? Thanks, Tom ... this ... should be ... rebased ... ...
Hi Thomas, If you look carefully in the supply part you will see that everything is labelled in hex, you only trace supply THROUGH a sea zone. A ship at sea is...
Hello, 2.4.2 that you quoted does not explain how ships at sea would trace supply, because 2.4.1 says that ships at sea are always in supply, so they never ...
Hubert, While I appreciate your desire to chime in and be helpful, the question here is not one of supply, but rather tracing ships at sea to an OIL resource....
Patrice, I feel that you might have missed the point I was making. Please allow me to clarify. The snippet of section 2.4.2 that I quoted describes the cases...
Not the most experienced with the rule book yet, but if 2.4.1 says "Units at sea are always in supply"; then whenever something requires tracing a supply line...
