CW should build an insane amount of land units imo. It needs them... :-) ... Well, the Sea Lion that John described was attempted with LOS. The key again is...
Greetings to everyone here! I just acquired a copy of the 1988 edition of World in Flames from a friend, and I was wondering if anyone here can give me any...
I often read about the free invasion of Ireland. But the fighting Irish have a 5-3 INF which would likely go into Belfast. Even flipped, does the German invade...
The Irish Corps can not be in Belfast, and it will most likely be in Dublin. The Germans invase the hex that is closest to the border between Ireland and...
A copy from 1988? Which edition is this? 2nd? 3rd? My understanding is that there has been 6 editions (number 6 being named Final Edition). I understand that...
Welcome to the bboard. For an excellent primer on everything WiF, I would recommend the French WiF page. http://pagesperso-orange.fr/froon/WiF/wif.htm I do not...
The Irish inf is a Republic of Ireland unit so it can't set up in the United Kingdom, i.e. Belfast. And in any case what set did that Irish unit come from? I...
YOu are quite right. I must be thinking of WWI. ;) The 5-3 INF is a 1937 or so unit. In addition, there is a Belfast MIL. I don't think Axis and Aliies has any...
Thanks to both of you for your welcomes. I did some checking and I have a copy of the 4th edition game. That may be why my friend was willing to part with it....
Has anyone ever given this a shot even in a limited form? I am in a game (WiFFE + DODIII) in which Japan (me) has managed to completely secure the Pacific from...
Rumor has it that Russ Craft's Italians once invaded America - I don't know the details but I'm sure somebody can fill us in... And in a WIFCON 2005 game...
First of all, congratulations. You will need a lot of lift and troops to take matters into the USA. I assume that China is not troublesome and India and S....
I do remember the game, but even if the Japanese invaded Wahington, it did not look good, did it? City plus 3? factories and troops. That was a game that Japan...
I have heard of such a game. In regular WiFFE (I believe), Eric Schultz's Japan went to war on the first turn, and swept up the Pacific. Not content, he went...
The axis had a russian player that was happy to look after himself rather than to the western allies, so with an agrement that gave him half the mideast,...
If you don't yet have Brest, and want to invade invade from the 2-box on top of a 1-factor notional. Even with just Bock and and 2 divs and SB you can get...
IIRC the Japanese Invasion of 2005 was based on the conquest of French Polynesia due to the use of regular Vichy rules. Had they played with LOC Vichy they...
Well, when I was still playing the 4th edition I was wondering about a strategy that would take possession of all major ports and minor ports in the pacific...
The DIVs can be in the 4-box if they want to, just the amph is in the 2-box. This would only be done if there were no naval forces at sea to worry about but...
The problem with that is that you need 2 naval moves. So you either need to do a naval then a land, or use an OC to take Ireland, which is a big waste. Jerome ...
This is true but you could always do a supercombined to help with France and get Ireland at the same time if that's how you like to use your ochits. You could...
Why not just do division invasion for free against 0 notional on surprise impulse? Then you won't need air support or SB. You can rebase LND/FTR for ...
Ireland. The back door to the UK. If only there could be a cunning enough plan to have the Italian navy declare war on France only, then advance past the Rock....
RAW states that an a/c flying from the territory of a power already at war with the suprised power do not gain the benefits of surprise. Nor do land units...
We mentioned that you needed Brest for the 0 notional - requiring you to be in the 3-box. You could probably do this even without Brest with div invasions but...
I think you do read the rule correctly. Do you think this is wrong ? Patrice ... From: <sajbalk@...> To: <wifdiscussion@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday,...
The problem with just division invasion is that it does not allow you to do what you want. The prime objective with the attack on Ireland is not to conquer ...
No, the effect seems off, but just wanted to verify. I do not know why I was worried about US surprise with units in the UK agains the Germans. No super...
With the new option in the latest Annual you could spend however many o-points to do one extra naval move in a combined - that gets the 2 you need. Cheers, ...
