Hi all, I'd like to chime in, since the Battle of the Atlantic, and it's absence, is one of my pet peeves about WiF. I play WiFFE con todo, including CoiF and...

It has heretofore never worked out the way you suggest. Why? Mainly because there are not enough CP to have the luxury of putting 2 in every sea zone. In...
one more classic: Knowing that the rules (and many interpretations) are not crystal clear, how do we play Vichy collapse during a competition ? Specifically: -...
Some interesting ideas here, not sure if allowing Germany to substitue naval moves for rails without any other penalty is too powerful. Rich Gause ... From:...
Lane: there is no doubt that the ETO sub system was not perfect. All simulations are trade offs. But IMO simple or not it did a better job replicating the BoA...

Wendell: IMO this is the one part of his argument that holds water. It should be easier to attack across a frozen river the a non-frozen one. Rich's point...
... The instant a German unit enters, the effects take place, as recently clarified by Harry. Still to be answered by him is whether it can be done by a rail...
I agree that the actual river crossing part of an attack was easier in winter if the river was frozen enough to support foot/vehicular traffic which they...
These are very interesting rules, Izzy. You really need to post more often - you're one of those lurkers who only puts something up every couple of months or...
Seems flawed. Consider the common big FTR contest in the Western Med. Axis have a huge stack of land based air in the 1 box. Allies have a similar stack in...
Who said anything about putting 2 in every zone but in say Capt St Vincent trying to keep Gibraltar in supply you bet I'll put out 1 more CP in another seabox...
I rather liked that suggestion but agree it would have be tested to see how it affected play balance but it prompts me to make one specific comment: Because...
Lane: You are somewhat vehemently putting the cart before the horse. Better to more fully understand the rules before you worry about their impact. As I stated...
"Moreover, if I'm say Japan attempting to trace supply to the 4 oil in the NEI and I can do so with a single CP in either the zero or your new convoy section...
Tom I disagree with some of your premises. I do not agree ETO was realistic. I do not agree that the reason we often see bigger CP losses in 1943 has...
I can not agree more strongly. It breaks the game right there. If you can't protect your ships at sea with what is in the box with them when the other side...
I disagree with your last paragraph. As a CW player the minute I saw no subs going down, I would immediately adjust my builds accordingly. I would know that I...
If I put out a CP in both seaboxes with your system I can now escort the CP in the zero box with short range and activity limit free reacting LBA that I can...

Subs used for SSW may not be used for normal combat. Subs used in SSW can be aborted, damaged, or killed. Remaining subs can then fight normal combat but are...
The axis can easily win without German subs and given Barbarossa and activity limit constraints they are better served by IT subs. Moreover, if Germany never...

Why is it better to build Italian subs? Shouldn't your person instead be advised to forego Italian subs as well and build Italian land units and air units to...
Firstly, I have a basic question vis a vis your rules. You have said that subs can engage the convoy section normally. Your rule says the following: 1.3.3 Sub...
I was clear in that my advice was not to build any German subs or ships (or budget .5, 1, 1.5 BP's a turn and stick to it in another post written in the past...
... Speaking only for myself, I don't feel that's a very appropriate comment from someone who's admitted he's never tried the system. The reality so far has...
