It is googol, just to correct you.

Vought F4U (I know this is ancient.) 470 miles an hour is my kind of airplane (non-jet).

Does anyone actually think he is being serious? I think he is parodying all the actual conspiracy theories and how absurd some of them can become.

@Gamer:

That said, my kids are off to Catholic school next year, which means their clothes budget just shrunk and my beer and war game budget just grew a little.  :-D

Catholic schools are private. Private schools cost money. So you are saying that you spent so much on clothes that the tuition for this school will be less than the annual clothes expenses?

Abattle map does that currently, I believe. The window may have accidentally disappeared from your installation, as it did from mine. You just need to reinstall it to correct the problem.

About the bombers, if the U.S. and U.K. both bomb, they can kill 32 IPC’s of German income a turn. If the player is smart enough to secure Africa first, then Germany won’t be able to survive.

Thanks. I forgot about that section.

How is the Axis outproducing you?

Out of lack of better location, I put this post here. Anyways,I think I have devised a great way to incorporate the cruiser into the game. A cruiser was, in essense, a battleship without armor. It had the same fire power (or nearly), but required less materials and production to build than a battleship. Since it was thinly armored, it was much more susceptible to torpedoes or dive bombers. Taking all these factors into account, a cruiser should be made a 12 IPC, one shot kill unit. It can bombard, attack on four and defends on a three, but is easily taken down.

Obviously, though, no one is going to buy a destroyer with a much better unit at the same price. Thus, the price of destroyers should be reduced to 10 IPC’s (or 8) to encourage more purchases, and reflect on reality more (I believe the Navy had over 900 destroyers by the end of the war.) Perhaps the values could be changed, but at least the price should be altered.

The 7.43% was for one round, in-case that wasn’t clear.

The probability of 3 transports taking out a battleship is 7.43%.

Did any of these areas actually affect the geo-politics of the world greatly. Essentially: Would the world have been radically different with an opposite outcome?

(The second part, China, S. America ect.)

I forgot Tannenburg.That was pretty crucial to hastening the Russian defeat in WWI, and ushering in the revolution.

Germany would have had a horrific time trying to invade Britain anyways. Their landing craft weren’t sufficient to convey the large amounts of supplies necessary to sustain an invasion.

Polywog is right. The Somme was horrendously indecisive. I would change the Somme to Antietam, which destroyed any chance the Confederates had of winning the Civil War. Having a divided U.S. would have influenced world events greatly.

Top Five:

1. Stalingrad (changed the tide of the European land war)

2. Midway (did the same for the Pacific)

3. The Marne (already mentioned)

4. The Somme (first battle with tanks)

5. The 1980’s arms buildup (a Cold War battle which ended Russia dominance)

I don’t think this is real.

I said I was younger than Cobert and you AJ. No one ever said you were married.

I meant Cobert and AJ.

I’ll play you.

I’m not married.

And, I am younger than both of you.
