A guy just sold me WIFFE Deluxe for $40 so I'm trying to set up the Barbarossa scenario to wrap my head around it. It says that Czechoslovakia and Rumania are aligned with Germany, so I put both of their forces into my force pool right? Also, there is an Italian and Finnish unit in my setup, do I put the Italians and Finns in my force pool too? Man there's a lot to absorb here.

Czechoslovakia is considered part of the German home nation for games that start in Sep/Oct '39 or later. You wouldn't get those. It can be liberated by either the USSR or the Allies from Germany. Just for the Barbarossa scenario: "Italian units are German controlled and count against Germany’s activities limits. Italian reinforcements arrive in Warsaw." Any new Italian units would be part of the German force pool. will_colorado fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jul 12, 2015 |

July/August 1940, Axis impulse 6, attacks and results: There is storm in the north monsoon. Clear weather is in all other areas. No port attacks are done. No naval air missions are flown. Naval movement: -Japan moved the carriers Soryu and Ryujo to the Bismarck Sea:  -Japan transported the naval bomber unit to Truk:  Naval combat: -Germany flips a sub unit face down in the North Sea to search for the Allied ships.  A d10 roll of 2 or less is needed to succeed. The Axis d10 roll is a 4. The Allies d10 roll is a 4. The Allies are the units in the 4 box are the only units that are successful. They will include only the German sub unit in the 1 box. The Allies will have 3 surprise points. (4+4) - (4+1) Since the Allies are the only side to have aircraft, and the aircraft have no air-to-sea factors, they will not change the combat to naval air and leave the combat as a surface combat. The attacking Allied aircraft have no air-to-sea factors. The Allies have 16 surface factors agains the 1 German sub; the initial result is 2 damaged and 1 abort. They will spend 2 surprise points to increase the result to 1 sunk result. The Axis has 1 surface factor against 8 ships. The initial result is 1 abort.  The Axis take the sink result on the single sub in the 1 box. Her defense value is 8. The d10 roll is a 7, she sinks.  The Allies take the abort result on the Cardiff. Her defense is an 8. The d10 roll is a 7, she is aborted to Plymouth. The Axis has no remaining face up units in the North Sea. The combat there ends. -Germany flips a sub unit in the 2 box in the Bay of Biscay face-down to search for the Allied units:  The Axis d10 roll is a 6. The Allies d10 roll is a 10. Neither side finds the other. -Italy flips a sub face down in the 2 box of the Cape St Vincent to search for the Allies:  The Axis d10 roll is a 2. The Allies d10 roll is a 5. The Axis are successful, the Allies needed a 4 and are not successful. The Axis units will attack the convoy points in the 0 box. The Axis have a total of 8 sub factors against 10 ships (19 convoy points). The Axis will have 6 surprise points. (3+5) - (2+0). The initial Axis result is 1 sunk and 1 damaged result. They will spend the 6 points to increase their result to 2 sunk results and 1 damaged result.  The Allies will take the losses, which are 5 total points, on the 2 Greek oil tanker units, and 3 idle Norwegian oil tankers. (The Allies have the spare tankers to replace them right now) Each side will remain. The Axis units will search again. The Axis d10 roll is a 7. The Allies d10 roll is a 1. Only the Allies are successful. The Allies are successful with all of their units. They will attack the sub unit in the 3 box. The Allies will have 6 surprise points. (7+3) - (1+3) The Allies will have 19 surface factors against 1 ship. Their initial result is 2 damaged and 1 abort. The Allies will spend 4 surprise points to increase their result to 1 sunk and 1 damaged. The Axis have 2 surface factors against 5 ships. Their initial result is 1 damaged. The Allies will spend 2 surprise points to decrease that to 1 abort.  The Allies attack result is applied to the sub unit in the 3 box. The unit is sunk, as succeeding on a sunk result would leave the unit damaged, and applying another damage result will destroy the unit.  The Axis attack is applied to the Yugoslavian ship. Her defense value is an 8; the defense roll is a 1. She is aborted to Gibraltar. Each side will remain. The Axis d10 roll is an 8. The Allies d10 roll is an 8. Neither side finds the other. The combat ends. No strategic bombing or carpet bombing missions are done. No ground strike missions are flown. No rail movement is done. Land movement: -Japan moves two units in China:  -Italy moved two land units in northern Italy:  -Germany moved land units in central Germany to the east:  No air transport is done. No units were debarked from a sea zone. No amphibious invasions are made. No paradrops are done. No land combat is done. Aircraft rebases: -Germany rebased two units to Norway:  -Italy rebased an aircraft unit to Albania:  -Germany rebased three units in the Balkans:  -Germany rebased one unit to Poland:  No HQ reorganization is done. The end of turn roll cannot be achieved by the Axis, as they did not pass with any nations. The d10 roll would have to equal a 0. The impulse marker was flipped to the Allies side.

Nah, it would have to be Mannerheim - the HQ has to be of that country's nationality. RAW posted:You satisfy the foreign troop commitment limit if there is at least one HQ from the unit’s original home country there (any Commonwealth HQ for Commonwealth units) and the total number of that country’s non-HQ units there is less than or equal to the total printed reorganisation values of the HQs. There was a debate years ago on the WiF mailing list about the most worthless unit in the game. I maintain that it is the 0 factor air-to-air CW carrier plane, because the stupid thing still requires a 2BP pilot to use, but the general consensus was that it's the Uganda territorial. Since Uganda is surrounded by friendly countries, it can only leave Uganda if a neighboring country is conquered, or if a Uganda HQ accompanies it (even if WiF were modern-day, I don't think it would include a Ugandan HQ). And since Uganda is a landlocked country with no railroads, resources, or any halfway decent reason to go after it, all CW players would be happier if the unit weren't even available to be built. e: You can get into a fun debate when discussing, say, the Polish units that can be added to the CW force pool in '42 - RAW says that those Polish units are 'treated as CW in every way', but then the FTC rule requires a HQ from the 'unit's original home country', which is Poland. Can they enter, say, USSR home country with Alexander? By 'fun debate' I mean 'group destroying hate-fest' unless it's undertaken as a purely academic exercise and the entire Soviet line is not out of supply if they're not allowed in

It would be the same as moving CW units into the USSR, if the USSR is not at war with the west. They would fall under the foreign troop rules for normal CW units. The most useless units are probably those 0 cost carrier planes, or that Ar-68 fighter the Germans can start with. will_colorado fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Jul 26, 2015 |

I'd like to claim the Cumberland or Berwick, if still around/unclaimed. The OP could use links to later turns.

Ah, I agree with you in spirit, but the unit's ORIGINAL home country is Poland, even if they are treated as CW units...
