Pedro, I rather object to being told to go and play Axis&Allies just because I accept that in a game like WiF you sometimes need to cut corners in order to...
AH didn't believe that he had to defeat CW. It is as simple as that. He saw his real opponent in Stalin and believed that CW was a nuisance which would...
I don't know if this is a good idea of not, but it is the most innovative idea about Germany aligning Spain "historically" that I've seen in quite a few years....
Clearly what we need or don't need in WiF is a matter of taste. Harry offers this option after all so he believes - or has been talked into - that the tac...
I disagree. Any war is ultimately won by two factors: one side sticking the course and the other not. This can be achieved by a variety of means. One of which...
Consider this: 100 cards. one black, 99 white. You pick one. Then 98 other cards are turned over all white - and they must always be white, gamemaster must not...
I don't want to bore people with paralells to another game but this situation is similar to the 'rule of restricted choice' in bridge which tells you that with...
The difference is that in WiF you aren't confronted with stark choices but instead areas of gray: the stuffing might not work and even if not pursuing a ned...
Question: 'Is the liar guarding the auto?' When you hear yes you open the other door, when you hear no you open his. (Unless you want a tough fight with a goat...
BTW, the original question posted below did not tell about one important assumption: do the guards actually know anything about what is behind their doors? If...
Ask yourself: Had Russia EVER come that close to exhausting her manpower reserves if Germany had never attacked (but Russia had attacked Germany some time in...
I think that the "omnipotent Harry never makes mistakes" argument is getting a little old. I definitely believe that the lnd4 tactical factors fully reflects...
Would this be the only restriction? Now, if you add one strategy that at once lets me DOW the USSR at will (ie break garrison) AND align Spain, my super Balbo...
I learned this phrase from Harry 15 years ago: "Often wrong, never in doubt". I suspect he'd be the last one to tell you he is always right (but he'd argue a...
It's not Harry's approach to Harry's text I am referring to, though, but the amount of balancing that some people read into the rules. I have the feeling that...
I can agree, even if all arguments can be discussed. The one i find "wrong" is pure personal appreciation : i quote "To have a simmilar effect on a force of...
... think it must be a pure marketing gimmic aimed at pleasing american customers by giving them an ego-boost based on the power of their nation's units. ... ...
Please clip overlong threads before sending your emails. Some email programs (like AOL unfortunately) convert the thread to a graphic, meaning even on a T1 it...
... rules, I ... american ... Since the RAF LND4s have higher strat factors, there goes your argument. IMO, very few WiF US units are "the best". Germans,...
Clearly, density of the ground forces is of great importance. This is exactly the reason why the Lehr divison was affected as much as it was, as far as I can...
From www.firstoffourth.com: "ADG?has reportedly licensed a mobile phone version of its massive World War 2 board game World in Flames. The prototype is...
... argument. Well, considering that the Lancasters had more than twice the bomb capacity than B17, giving them 1-2 more strat factos is hardly pro-lancaster....
Assuming 1944 and earlier: FTR = Germany ME262 Tac Bombers?= Germany the 7 factor Stuka and the 11 extended range LND Strat Bombers = US (the B-29 doesn't need...
Hakon, I agree with almost everything you said. And it's certainly fair that Germany has the best INF due to training and the MG42. IMO WiF significantly...
