I'll add in a post on the 2 move vs. Strategic move debate. ...I found myself questioning the creditability of your report..... The reason I’m even getting into all this is because I don’t want to simply KILL what may be a great game mechanic because of one game report that made no sense to me espe...

I'll add in a post on the 2 move vs. Strategic move debate. I prefer the two move rule over the SM as it stands, for the reason that it helps a bit without *breaking* anything. It's an improvement over the OOTB rules but doesn't allow for what I consider to be game-breaking or at least "gamey" strat...

Striker wrote : Naval movement being 5 standard: This absolutely made the "naval war" A quick cleanup operation for the allies. This means nothing... A concerted effort by the allies could generate the same results in a 2SZ game. Outnumbering the axis fleet severely, the allies used the additional ...

Well I don't know how many Americans came in but if only one of them died and you brought in more than 2 then the defender rolled poorly if there was one art and VERY poorly if he had more than one. 10+ Americans landed. The artillery support fire did nothing or next to nothing, but the ground comb...
