Did not have time to play yesterday. Hope I will get the turn done tonight, but there are also other urgent tasks to finish: GOTM99 is due this week, and still some work left on that one, and "TGW-Div" is another PBEM game, where turns currently take 1-2 hours...

Spot 5 differences.

 

[Lanzelot]

Well, there's only one difference...

But I tell you: playing Germany in World War I and World War II at the same time is more than anyone can handle... It means a "4-front war"...

 

[Arexander]

There's five. 5 letters, I'll tell ya.

But anyway, I couldn't use 4 hours to only playing CivIII. Not with all this high school stuff going around.

 

[Lanzelot]

Two submarines sink CV Wasp. One of the subs shares Wasp's fate...

A tank rolls over the partisan that sabotaged our roads last turn. Bombardment of some units on the Moscow front. German Heavy bomber shot down by fighters. Two Russian minor units killed.

Trying to evacuate the last units out of Benghazi, but I completely forgot that artillery cannot be put into a fast transport... Well, never mind, now they are left behind in the desert sand...

Comment regarding scenario: I noticed Armies only require 45 shields. Isn't that a bit too cheap?!

[Lanzelot]

Does anyone have a list of these abbreviations, DD, BB, CA, etc? For me it's a bit confusing, don't know yet what they mean.

(For example, last turn when I attacked the American stack with a submarine, I thought that the list, which let's me choose the ship I want to attack, also displays the A/D/M values along with the units. But it didn't... So I was left with a difficult choice between "BB ...", "CA ...", "DD ...", etc... No idea what they meant, and I couldn't back out any more, so I had to choose one. Of course I didn't want to attack a heavily defended battleship, which would just mean suicide for my poor U-Boot...
Fortunately I remembered from my history books, that "Yorktown" and "Wasp" had been the names of famous US Carriers that were employed in the battles of Midway and Guadalcanal, respectively. So I just picked one of those and hoped that these were not so strongly defended... )

[Arexander]

BB=Battleship
CA=Armored Cruiser
DD=Destroyer
CV=Carrier
SS=Submarine (if used)
TB=Torpedo Boat (if used)

Tell me if I forgot something from the list.

 

[muzbang]

if you right click on a unit (or stack) you can see :
the sort of unit (CA, BB...) and its caracteristics (Att/Def/Move)

The problem with sub, is that if many units of the same type are in a stack, you don't know with to attack (for ex if you have 3 BB, and want to attack one of them).

The only way to know with unit to attack is to rename the boat (i'm not sure about this).
But does naming unit obligatory ?
If not, it is preferable not to do, in order to put confusion when subs attack...

am i right ?

 

[eric_A]

BB=Battleship
CA=Armored Cruiser
DD=Destroyer
CV=Carrier
SS=Submarine (if used)
TB=Torpedo Boat (if used)

Tell me if I forgot something from the list.

BC - battlecruiser
CVL - light carrier
CLAA - AA cruiser

Muzbang - no naming your units is not required.
