Rich I'm just not feeling it- so the CV's can do the other 3 air missions but not port strikes? I think I'd rather test it with the CV's making port strikes...
The setup probably mattered a great deal and the best thing you could have done was ground strike his HQ's early in the turn with both the FR and CW. At this...
As far as the diplomatic 'realities' are concerned: How countries would've reacted to circumstances which did not in the end eventuate is up to each persons...
CAP as such is silly. There is no on-going CAP for two months. As such we are discussing various grades of sillyness. I'd rather have a more limited impact of...
Hi Ken, some answers below. Which countries can Germany activate? --> germany can activate any country (italy, china, US and japan are limited, see at the righ...
This has been discussed plenty of times in the forum already. Just a small point: there is no reason to suppose that a winter attack would've worked well in...
Unfortunately, it was not that simple. During the Battle of Britain there were plenty of bombing runs missed, intercepted belatedly or not strong enough. The...
... That reminds me why doing port strikes/strat bombing and ground strikes all together in the strat bombing phase worked: air mission limits. If you are...
Now let's look at what would really happen in reality: - first, there is an assessment of the threat: is it Port strikes? A major Landing? Resupplying the...
And don't forget that your reserves should be on-map (albiet face-down). I have played at least one game which saw a new player forget to place his reserves,...
I agree; I like the cap rules and air sequence like they are, but having port strikes after naval movement is just too powerful IMO. Rich Gause ... From:...
... I've always thought that in reality, most WiF "air missions" are not single bombing raids, but rather a series of them over several days to a week or more....
Yes - I think most of the comments in the thread pertained to DCAP not OCAP - OCAP is so common most of us forget it is CAP.... Bill P ... From: lbinflorida42 ...
Advance building Alexander costs 3 BP and brings him in a whopping 1 turn earlier. Is that really cost effective - or necessary? Bill P ... From: lbinflorida42...
Neither. And M/J anyway is too late to stop the bad effects of a France First. Heck, France falling in M/J or J/A is the standard result without a France...
CAP is not a 2 month activity, but actually about 2 weeks durings Jul-Aug (the approximate time of an impulse during mid-summer). It represents a commitment to...
Thanks for the answers. That's what I thought but the rulebook is a little confusing when you've never seen it played. I've just finished putting DoD3 into...
Mark, you rather insistently refuse to acknowledge that neither CAP nor strategic bombardment in WiF is in any way the tactical activity you envisage. The 35...
As you said, "dozens of missions performing multiple bombings" - but when it comes to cap, it is a SINGLE mission for a couple of hours. The impulsing player...
Then you may assume that recon, or perhaps one day of bombing not big enough to represent in WIF, has determined the area to be "too tough" to bomb, if it is...
That still doesn't change the fact that CAP is a micro-tactical event in a grand strategic game. Even carrier planes in naval ops are allowed unlimited...
We play a very simple verison of CAP. You pick a CAP hex and then can respond to any adjacent hex. This makes CAP acutally useful. We also play with...

One thing nobody else mentioned, on impulse 2, SO '39 FR should take a land and reorg 5 reserve ground units with both HQ. CW should always set up all 4 TRS...
What if the adjacent hex is "beyond range" of the CAP fighter? It's nice to know that some other people recognize that CAP is an on-going air space commitment...
... to ... game ... Any minor that has a marker (USSR, Germany, CW & France are not restricted, but the others are) ... No, never ... Only ones that don't have...
The other thing is wether you are playing with or without ZoC on surprise. If playing with the no ZoC on surprise option, you are pretty much doomed if the...
John, that's extremely dangerous. I'd reorg 3 units with one HQ and I'd rather have 1 face up HQ than 2 face up units in the Maginot (which is where I place...
Like leaders, it is normally a safe assumption that almost everyone does not play with this option. Bill P ... From: lavisj Date: Tuesday, October 2, 2007 2:49...
Strangely, this appears to be a USA/Europe thing, and I am aware of many European games where this is a standard option. If you ever get stuck with this rule,...
