Hmm IQ must have dropped since i left WA.
The rules are for everyone, hence why i must also leave 1/3 of my minors in there own countries and theaters. And for the record i was only controling Canada, i left australia, south africa, New Zealand AI to keep it fair so there forces are all over the place. I only took control once the situation was becomming very dangerous.
On the point of me defending India, or the far east. I will defend my land anyway i see fit, this is not a minor or a puppet or my allie that i control there military. I will defend my empire and the country that im playing the best way i see. I have always planned to have troops in india, and there were 12 divisions in india until i needed them for turkey, and there are now presently forces in india in increasing numbers as well soon to arrive fleets and airpower.
You make the reference to Germany and limits on there forces, ok well in reality the Germans had 1.5 million men in the west while fighting the USSR, plus over 1500 aircraft and 1000 Tanks. How many of them do you think Joel currently had in the France or the Western countries. For game reasons this would equal nearly 150 infantry divisons, plus 10 amroued divisions, and 15 squadrons. Also i hope your defending your border with mexico JH. Hmm wonder if the USSR has troops protecting its entire long border with Japan as it did in real life. Im sure all these things are not happening as this is a game and each nation can defend and move there OWN troops to where they see fit. It is only when you control a minor or allie that you should keep forces in realistic areas to serve that countries best interests.
Currently my best interests are being served by trying to hold Africa and the ME, which is looking like being lost possibly. If i dont defend india properly then game mechancis will make me pay, when japan invades it. So be it, i cannot defend everywhere with my limited IC and manpower. But in any event Jh my forces would not be able to be viewed by you anyway as i would never keep them on the coast and would only move forces to singapore close to war so the Japs would not be able to see my disposition of forces in india or anywhere else. But thanks, for revealing to our enemies my plans.
Yes i did give you a mouthful JH, just like you have so many times to me. Its not that you asked me questions but when you ask or TOLD me how i should be playing, when im fighting for my life for the last 2 1/2 years. If i had done what you said JH the italians would now already be in india and probably south africa. Then you would all be complaining on how overpowered the Italians are now with tech sharing from germany and how its runined the game. But in fact ive had one of the best games with huge amounts of battles and tactical manouvering, its been great. Even if i lose the ME and Africa it has been fun. Oh and JH why do you think i was buiilding so many carriers and Cags, just to use against the weak italian navy or maybe, just mabye if you put more then 2 seconds thought into it before opening your mouth. That most of those carriers might be intended to be used against Japan defending my vast empire.
And just for the record. In this game the UK has.
1. Built no forts or AA anywhere much to its own disadavantage.
2. Deployed all units out of the UK directly before start of the war ( i did not deploy straight to india as allowed in the rules. Italy did not follow this rule and deployed 30+ divisions directly into Libya over a peroid of time, while i shipped units all over the globe.
3. Italy also repaired ships in port that i had trapped there. (minor issue but annoying)
4. Due to your constant complaints about the speed of the game i have lost 12+ cags and 4 Fighters due game speed and lag, as well as many other minor ships losses.
5. I did not take control of the my CW minors until early 1941 except canada. This might give you an idea of the preasure the UK is under.
So yes Jh if you wish im playing gamey, but what isnt gamey in your eyes? You want the perfect game when this game is far from perfect and will never be. Is it gamey that Italy has 70-80 Divisions made up of Italian/German/Turkish forces pushing on me from all directions when in reality it was at most 25 Italian divisions in Africa or the ME. So if the Italians have this many forces then it would be reasonable to asume i would need near equal forces to hold them. Hmm now where do i get these forces from, ah yes i click my magic finger and they appear out of thin air. But of course Jh im gamey becuase all im trying to do is defend my empire with about the same forces being used to take it.
Your logic is flawed.
