Once you get used to the hotkeys it stops being a million clicks. There's probably a better way to do what they want but wite's system wouldn't work.

 Might as well jump on the bandwagon and try and keep up with Grey. That map just looks too beautiful not to play.

I was silly and bought DC Barbarossa instead. I can tell this is a very professional product when the tutorial videos have birds chirping in the background.

This is goddamn fantastic. Baloogan, please develop WitP 2. Edit: are you able to drop comments onto the map as a logged in user? I was able to make a comment on a ship, but can't for the life of me figure out how to comment on events. Do you also have plans to integrate a loss chart or anything for each side?

Can't comment on events/spots-on-map yet; what I want is map drawing tools, where a 'comment' could be an on map arrow, or a boundary circle or somesuch. What I want at the end of the day is a system to make the graphics in SSLPs of WITP. The operation glacier website grew out of wanting to do a SSLP but also realizing I could never match the amount of work that Grey Hunter (and others) put into their posts every day. I also plan to have a 'all events this turn' with hotlinks to the positions and a sunk ship list as well. Plus a list of comments/map-arrows drawn the last few turns.

So this is what it'd be like if grog developers were capable and had modern design sensibilities... e: It runs too fast, can you cap it to 12 fps or something?

If you could copy whatever Paradox did with Hearts of Iron 3 (If that's even doable) then you'd be set IMO.

I'm pretty bad so if you're looking for someone with experience I'm not you're guy. If you want an allied punching bag who will eventually figure out what he's doing and start to put up a fight I'm you guy.

Press I Ship something, its like ship sunk, ship withdrawal, ship reinforcement/delay or something? You want the one that isn't sunk or withdrawal.

They don’t just “jerk off” like the average Joe; they spread out a tarp and set up five video cameras on tripods and set out little bottles of scented oil from far-flung regions of the Orient. They crank up one of those Martin Denny Exotica records and get fully nude and do things to themselves that would, if Caligula happened to walk into the room, make him throw up his hands and shout “enough!” They really explore their bodies.

dtkozl posted:Ah intelligence, ironically the last place I ever thought of looking. You should at least play the Coral Sea scenario a couple times to get the hang of combat and Operation Buccaneer or Guadalcanal to put together some task forces and amphibious landings. You will have to manually set your air patrols and manage your convoys. You can leave the on-map pilot training squadrons alone and mostly not sweat the off-map pilot training command unless you really want to, but everything on-map besides the west coast should really stay manual. It also gets a lot less time consuming if you're willing to pretty much give up on most of China.

It is the long campaign with production, long term supply chains, and sustained campaigns where I have no real idea. I'll be playing Japan as well.

Oh Baloogan, thought on Operation Glacier... are you going to be adding base flags for the allies who aren't American? It's a little weird just seeing the American flag pasted over Australia, India, Mongolia, the eastern USSR, etc. Or maybe switch it out for a generalized flag for the Allies?

I gave up on my first DCB game mid-october. While my relationships were fantastic my logistics and territory were in utter shambles. I managed to grab an undefended Moscow in September but couldn't hold it. AGC's conquest consists of the Smolensk highway with two PG's spread out along it. AGN is stuck west of Narva and I had no fuel there for two months. Don't ask. AGS has taken Kiev and Odessa and that's pretty much about it. Also short on fuel. Don't ask either. Things I learned: 30km a day railroad conversion is way too slow. Protect your flanks. If I had demanded military independence I would have won. Also it bugs me to no end that the three army groups are called "Armeegruppe" and not "Heeresgruppe" like it should be!
