What you don't seem to understand is that I play for the fun of it. I am not what we called back when I played d&d a "Min/Maxer". Those people got thier joy from "beating the system". I can play like that, but in the long run it is not much fun. I am playing for fun, not to exploit game mechanics. I certainly don't need to win so badly that I check saves;-)

What is so exploiting about taking out convoys??? Germany did the same to UK in real life, I am going to go out on a limb and make 2 bold gaurentee's for next session 1) USA will be completely liberated and every single unit that stepped foot on USA mainland will be whiped out 2) Every single Japanese Convoy will be gone and his whole empire will starve to death

Germany did the same to UK in real life I think it's more about the fact that if US leadership let Japan (or anyone) land on US soild their resoning that they were just louring enemy into the trap would not be taken with understanding. And this is something more - enemy lands and sweeps through the country.

Germany did the same to UK in real life I want you to step away from the game mechanics for 1 minute. Consider what would have happened IRL if the axis had landed and did what we have done. Yes the population would have rallied and thrown us out, that is a given. However the president and senior military leaders would have thier heads handed to them. You would be out of power. This is called the role playing aspect of the game. If this game was solely about game mechanics, I would not play japan at all under these or any rules. Japan is a serious underdog. Waiting past 37 to fight the americans is stupid. I never do it as japan. If I could have played the game mechanics as you do, America would have been my puppet in 39. Along with california, texas and the csa. The rules highly favor the allies. Care to try usa vs jap in a 36 ffa?

All of this talk of the "the secret plan" is all to reminicent of Adolph in his bunker. You could just say, I screwed up, but there is compensation. True you make some good points, but you got wazooed. You don't have to pretend that getting invaded was on the menu. Fact remains, either way Japan has extended the war by 6 month, possibly a year. All Germany has to do is get enough divisions in the west to take out your army, while at the same time fighting an agressive retreating rear-guard. Winning in the west would make defeating SU a good possibility, even if the SU makes it all the way back to the Polish border before the Allies are mopped up in France. Those 24 divisions heading back to the USA are possibly critical in this endeavour. More bad play by USA, and it is anybodys game. Losing Pearl Harbour... sheesh. Its not like the convoy scheme doesn't work on Wake, the Philipines, and whatever else the Japanese snatch. No need to lose Pearl, and Panama and Mobile. HA! funny. For a straighforward copy over zip version go here: Goerings Delay -- NZQS -- 1.3b.rar The Mod can also be set up with the Jones Generic Mod Enabler and has worked fine in that mode in my tests. This version has everything in it, 1.3beta, JSGME and the East is Red patch, and can be installed straight to your Armageddon 1.2 (ZBLV) folder without disrupting vanilla at all. It has the 1.3beta exe update and JGSME Mod system right in it. Just unzip to your main doomsday folder, copy the contents of the folder, then past into the main folder, then enable the mod using the JSGME system. Once you execute the JSGME it is pretty self-explanatory: EIR NZQS --ARMA 1.3beta complete 1.3bSmall patch from XTPS or NZQS 1.2 to NZQS 1.3b: Goering EIR -- Patch 1.3bIt would be a dangerous folly for the British people to underrate the enduring position in world history which Mussolini will hold; or the amazing qualities of courage, comprehension, self-control and perseverance which he exemplifies.Sir Winston -- 1937

Phillipines are Chinese. And I've lost about 1 single convoy transport the entire game.

Maybe you guys don't understand. Winning as the allies is amost a given. You have to be supremely incompetent to lose with these rules. They are totally weighted towards you. Our point is even though you should win in the end, allowing the types of attacks I am making to succeed makes you look very bad. I have not played the spartans, but ignoring reality and playing just for the mechanics of the game is not the most enjoyable way to play.

Stay ignorant like all the others, in the end we shall see. "1. P-K4 (e4)... simplest is best" -- Bobby Fischer. The US game plan for WW2 was good enough, and it is not to hard to comprehend. Secure the center: Pearl Harbour, work out from there, look toward a favourable end game above all. If it aint broke don't fix it.
