And in defense of Muz....knowing unit locations exploring the biq is a fairly common practice. Plus once you've played HOF several times you know where all the units are located and like chess...you know how to maximize your initial moves! So Muz did what I would do.
That is why I made the post suggesting to Eric that the next revision allow for a more liberal allowance of units in the November moves...while still freezing others. Remember...the Japanese did not have clear intel on the location of the Pacific Fleet. Certainly they did not nor could know the location of Allied ships at sea especially Subs. Now they did know where the home ports were so that drove their initial moves!
Certainly restricting the British from not having their fighters airborne over the home isles and North Africa in November is unrealistic. But this is the first time I have ever played the CW in HOF. So I never thought about suggesting a change!
My worries are what I consider the profound out of proportion impact that Nature will have in this revision....I have a very bad feeling that all countries are going to lose many units out of proportion given all the nature cities in place at the beginning of the game and the number of pre-built units available from the git go. In particular is the unlimited duration of impact that especially the sea based nature units have. It is rare in reality that any hurricane, gale, or typhoon lasts more than a month. And nature is...after all a random and unpredictable force dependent on "nature" ie..jet stream etc. In our game...Nature is "Directed" and non random. It will "Target" units...whereas in reality...units at sea even in the 1940s had some warning of storms and as such could move to avoid if they chose too.
ANyhow....I am okay to see how this plays out in this revision. Cheers!
