We played one more session, which didn't go so well for Bill. After that, I've not heard from him, nor seen him here on the list. I only hope nothing serious...

... Well, I guess you'd better write one for the next publication, then! Harry's always looking for new pieces & authors. -- Cheers, Dave LeLacheur ...
Don't take it wrong, Dave. I'm not saying articles are bad or useless, just pointing out that the overall editor choices don't come out that balanced. (And I...
Hello Gentlemen: Mike Cobb has asked me to invite more players to a week-long (8-10 days) WiF game. The game will be held at Eric Sedlar's home in Portola...
Did anyone get the A3 Wif Combat chart? It was missing from my package and was curious as to what it was. Of all the announced products, I think I'm most...
Here is the game report for ournew trans-Pacific game being played via Vassal. I haven't hit on a suitable name yet. Previous turns at end below ====. The...
Hi All CW is at war with an incompletely conquered Portugal. Japan aligned Portugal, but Japan and CW are not yet at war. There is a face down Jap TRS in...
A couple of years ago, I proposed an "Ardennes" rule to try and open up the historical route for the conquest of Belgium (i.e. through the Ardennes). The...
Oops. I just realized that Belgium gets 3 units not 2 to defend itself. D-oh! Well, as is, this optional still forces Belgium to put a unit in the forest...
It rebases. If the parties are not at war, the CW can attack Japan if?Japan occupies enemy (Portugese)?hexes. But overrunning ships to capture/scuttle is not...

Yep. The (cw) notation is there just because (IIRC - not looking at map) the North Sea has the notation that all unspecified islands are Norwegian. This...

Don't agree with the presumption (that No ZOC on surprise is unplayable or bad). So see no need for an alternative solution. The one change which could be...
Try the new optional rule in the Annual: minor country reserves set up upon DOW too. Note that this *requires* the Brussels MIL to set up face-down in...
Which optional rule would that be? Can't find it in the Annual. ... Try the new optional rule in the Annual: minor country reserves set up upon DOW too. Note...
Hm, maybe it didn't make the cut. I don't have my Annual handy so I can't check, sorry. Well, we've playtested this and I, as the German player, was quite...
Hi I have a question concerning the tank bonus at the 3d10 table. it is mentioned that the attacker gets a max of +4 for attacking arm or mech. there are 6...
Dave, can I ask you these unrelated questions: when you did your calculations for manpower 1) is FiF included (it doesn't seem to be but it might simply have...
I don't see how the option from the Annual makes much of a positive difference. If you do Netherlands-first then after you take Antwerp & the hex south of...
2 more points on the 3d10 rules attacker gets 3 points for a disrupted defending korps/army and 1 point for such divs. what about artillerie. are the counted...
If the US is at total war, but the USSR is active and not?at war?with Germany, how many resources/BP can be lent per turn to Russia? ? That is, options 19 and...
IMO it is 1 resource and 1 BP per ally (Max of 4 R and 4 BP). Key word in the rule quote is "also" implying both US and Russia must be at war with Germany...
I'd much rather NOT have minor country reserves set up at start. Especially for DENMARK, which historically was occupied without a fight. A crap face-down...
