China would be a boring nation to play as, there economy in WWII was bad and there troops were not vary good. Pacific did make a good attempt with China being a power and the novelty of it was cool, it just didn’t play out well IMO. i think making it work in much the same way it did in Pacific would be the only way to play it though, China would have to have a IPC value for most teritorys, give it a factory and link it’s turn to the US turn making it part of the US play but they can’t share IPC’s. this way China is played like a normal nation, but no one gets stuck playing China as it’s own power.

thats what the smaller sub games are for. other wise it’s a weekend game  :-)
hey thats right WOTC owns A&A, i’m right down the road from there main office… i’m buying from the source.

didn’t know there was a unit editer

ok, as far as i know the combat goes they move out of combat at the same time. so both sides subs would submurge simeltaniouslly, or navies/air retreat at the same time the subs go under.

Unfortunately, humans are involved and that totally screws up the system

I suggest reading some of this book.  Kropotkin argues that mutual aid and assistance of others within a species comes naturally to all animals and that war is avoidable if everyones stops competing and begins to pool resources.  The need for competition and war over resources is a capitalist social construct.
is that why both China and USSR expanded and conquored nations around them?

Libertarianism (or classic liberalism) is definitely not socialism or communism.  I dont know if you were trying to say that but your train of thought cut off mid sentence and confused me, hahaha.
classic liberalism (not Demacrats) was born around the 1920’s or 30’s. this was around the time of “The Great Deal” where FDR inacted many socialist ideas into the US government. Social Sacurity and other government aid programs are part of that.

now i don’t think socialisam can work on any large scale. it can work if I am with a group of say 100 families as if i stop working then i will directly feel the pinch, but when you look at it on a national level then it inables people to be lazy, we see this already with people who work as little as posible and gather as much as they can from the government. this is why socalisam can not work for even a government as large as a state.

not every one lives in base housing, so you have to stop and shop where you can on the way home.
also it depends on the base your shopping on. prices on base are based off of the avarage rank of the people stationed there. so Quanico Vergina (officer training base for Marines) has much higher prices then the PX in San Diago CA (Marine Boot Camp). even though one is in VA a state that has no where near the cost of living as southern CA.

i think it’s to help Clinton Inc, not Obahma.
it puts McCain in the spot light in a bad way.
it gets the negative light of Mrs Clinton (the she is lossing a lot of states), and it also gets Obahma out of the good light (winning a lot of states).
all around it’s a win for Clinton inc, the true indorcement of NYT.

Marines arn’t even allowed to go to the store (unless on base) in Utilities. just diffrent standards.

sorry i wasn’t looking at a board, i thought the sub was sitting off the coast of France and as such you would have your transports stop off the coast.

go hear and get these rules, they fix problems with the book rules and are more balanced.

on your question. as far as i know it is legal to do what you say.

Rome was a Republic not a Democracy. there are fundamental diffrences between the two. Republic has a senate that makes the judgments. Democracy dosn’t but instead the people vote on all the laws.
the US is a hybrid of both.

Marines don’t have the “I’m a Marine ribbon.”
there is the National Deffence, Global war on Terror expaditonary, Global war on Terror support (can’t remember the darn things name now).

with the UK on UK1 land in Norway, this is the easiest of all Europe countries to take and hold, it bost UK economy and gives them a bridge to support USSR with land units. also for UK1 build some more ships and plains to keep your sea bridge open. if the Germans see what your doing, they have 3 options. ignore it (good for you), send plains after it; if you have a Destroyer, a few transports, and a Battle ship then you should be fine this will hurt the German air force a lot and buys time for USSR and also may destroy the German air power, last is the navy attack. if they try a full force navy attack then they open to latter hits right into the sea, also they would have to build up a larger navy to win, so thats less money going against USSR. they could always go combo navy/air. but then it hurts you more but it also gives the USSR some time.

US1 incordination with the UK1 landing make a US landing in Africa. Germany won’t have the ships to counter strike in too much force, if they do, then the ships arn’t being used else where. if they use air power with the attack on the US fleet then thats less against USSR and UK. ether way you have now slowed down Germanys taking of Africa. this gives UK more money and Germany less.
on US1 build up your navy, you need lots of tranis and also a few replacement ships to replace the lost ships in Africa, a Carrier, Destroyer, and tranis should do fine.

UK2 keep up the bridge and replace ships if need be. at this point tranis should be all they realy need. send troops to USSR front to bulk it up.

US2 if they hit your landing fleet with there navy, hit it back. if not send in the secound wave into Africa. send old Tranis back.

US latter turns; keep the push up untill Africa is no longer under threat. should take only a few turns to do this before Germany is out of there. don’t send too many troops into South Africa area, this is a good staging ground. just move in when your ready to make a push into the Med and then you can land a ton of troops any place along the med coast, if your opponent sees this he will have to fill in atleast a few prime teritories. he can’t let a major landing happen from the US, if he leaves stuff open for the coutner attack though, land where your allies can bost your numbers or just let your guys get killed on the counter. if they pull a lot to kill you, it means they arn’t doing muck to USSR or UK (if in possision). it also may mean that they just left a spot open for the UK to land in force. then you can land a secound force to bost the UK landing or even take another soft spot or two.
keeping constant presure on Germany is always good as it widdles them down and allows USSR to gain a little more money for the hold out of Moscow when Japan gets there.

abortion is a compleatly diffrint discusion then this.

so your saying that we can’t use history to argue for what this may lead to? so again you are picking arguments that fit your side and saying that arguments that don’t fit you because they are not easy for you to argue against arn’t allowed.

what right do you have as a parent to decide what your child will look like? you can chose your mate with some intentions, but that is not the same as going in and saying “it will be blond, blue eyes, and be good at sports.” few people realy chose there mate based on the children they will have, yes some do but more times then not they chose for love or atleast the perception of love, not “wow he/she is blond i want blond kids so lets mate.”

it’s still a test, we won’t know if it didn’t worked untell it fails  :wink:

@Jermofoot:

@Pervavita:

is it murder to stand infront of your family with a gun and shoot a person that is shooting at your family first? that is deffence. to say war=murder is far to simple. George Washington, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln are all murder’s by your standard. sorry i just don’t see it, that is the point i am making.

When have Americans ever done that in the past 2 centuries?  I can’t even think of one.  Anyway, I answer this mostly below to dezrt.

i used an extream example, but there are instances in the news even in the last few years of people using guns to kill murderers to save lifes in the states or using guns to protect there family from those who have broke into there home, armed or not dosn’t matter as we do know people break into homes armed so why take the chance. it dosn’t change that war=murder is inaccurate. there are surcumstances that it is correct, but also when it is not.

I just gave a simple example.  But let’s use your example.  Why wasn’t this soldier tried in Iraq?

he is a member of the millitary serving and as such falls under the guide lines of his home nations laws. comparing him to a terroist is not accurate. if a member of the Iraq army were to comit war crimes he would be tried by the Iraq government, unless the Iraq governemnt condones such actions and then if the Iraq governement had sighned on to said war crimes treaty then the leaders in Iraq would fall under the rules of war in that they would be tried.
with that said, i am not a fan of forcing nations to obide by rules that they do not sighn. for example Nazi Germany should not have been able to be held accountable for any Crimes with no treaty sighned saying what they did was wronge. no nation should be able to force another to do what there nation wants, no matter how horible that nation is acting unless that nation is a threat to security and then in the intrest of protecting your own people then go to war. but this is a fully diffrent debate.

Well, here’s the thing.  The investigation never would have happened if it weren’t for Time magazine, who reported the event months before Murtha said anything.  The only reason he did say anything is because they were dragging their feet.  It wasn’t slander, and frankly, you could just ignore him since his opinion is pretty irrelevant.  The defendants also have quite a few more perks when it comes to comparison to civilian trials, and those are reported to death in the media.  The Haditha massacre is no where near the level of coverage that OJ (who got more than a fair trial), Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson, or anyone else they are covering now.  So, I’m sorry to say your rage is unfound.  Better to just drop it and wonder why these guys did this, why the administration failed to report it and follow up, and why it took the media to uncover a tragedy like this and get something done.

that stroy from the Times was not by a fully credible source and should not have been taken as fact. if those Marines did a cover up (and i have not heard any proff to say they did that is credable) then they should be tried. the Times story came from a witness, but not one last i heard that could be found. i don’t think Mirtha was in the right to bring up this like he did. it was not a “IF they are guilty” but it was a “they ARE guilty” statment and that is where he was wrong and interfiered IMO in the investigation and trial.
on the other high profile casses, this is diffrent, but i don’t agree that they should be so high profile ether, atleast untill the trial is over. i feel the media is wrong in making a big deal out of all of them, i don’t think that the government should step in but it is a sighn of our nations lack of judgment that such things are popular.
Mirtha if the Marines were found guilty would have been in the right to make statments about those Marines that were like he did, but not before, and not with the evidence of hear say as that is all the evidence that was brought up untill a few months ago.

there is also the medal you get for being state side in support of the war. so this medal is realy just a chest filler IMO.

i don’t know, it’s hard to compeat with the hamburger  :-)

submarines, plains, modern ships of iron, slinky, duckt tape, post it’s.
our list may be short, but when compaired to other nations it’s a nice list considering how short the nation has been around.

for NA’s i have only used one at a time. but i strongly recomend get game balance (where the games go ether Axis or Allies based on skill not dice)and mecanics down first.

as for UK landing, it depends on what the UK landings job is and how big you can make it vs how large the German deffence is. if your going suicide and it’s likelly you won’t last beyound round 2 of combat, then no tanks as artillary will be almost as good over all (round 1 just as good, round two it will be so small a diffrence in attack value you may not notice it). this way the lose of $ is less to you. if the battle runs a good chance of making it to round 3+ then you may win to begin with and a few tanks may be good to have, but still bulk up on arty and inf.

US landing, well i would say still bulk up on arty over tanks. landings are one of those battles IMO that you ether win or lose on the first round, and if you lose there is no retreat. for the typical landing i would again rather bring more troops then strong troops, even though strong troops will do the killing. it’s all situation and personal preffrence on what you bring. personally i would rather bring an extra transport and have all my ships 1 inf/1 art then bring less transports with 1 inf/1 arm. if you can squeze armor on transports and still bulk up the fleet then go for it.
