Are casualties in the game actual casualties (ie, one casualty equals exactly one person) or are they more abstract than that?

look having to remove 7 road wheels in order to just replace 1 of them builds character and shows the strength of precision german engineering why mass produce tanks when you can create special hand-crafted bespoke artisanal panzers

nixon is that guy that is a little bit too into playing the nazis in any given wargames or has a fully painted SS Leibstandarte army, and admires them for their efficiency

ss mythology was manufactured by a mix of the us rehabilitating nazi generals post wwii and an American cottage industry of small press magazine/books/wargames that started in the 70 and developed through the 80s and early 90s some bits aren’t great but The Myth of the Eastern Front is a good read

SH3 with Grey Wolves was probably one of the best experiences that i've had with a subsim ever. I also liked SH4, even unmodded, since the flow of the campaign was so different from SH3

I'll have to check that out. Some of the funniest poo poo that happened to me in SH4 was basing out of Manila and losing the base there and limping home at quarter speed to Surabaya and barely making it there before my fuel ran out.

COINs are pretty cool board games but the more you depart from modern counter-insurgency scenarios, the more poo poo they become, so anything that has elements of conventional war (Vietnam) or that models pre-modern warfare is kinda poo poo Also their use as a serious analysis of counter insurgency is kinda poo poo, but they can still be compelling to play

to go a bit further, COIN as a game is based on the writings of Galuga, a French officer in Algeria, after France lost the Algerian revolution these writings were used to create a framework to model the (debatably) successful counter insurgency in Colombia, with the release of Andean abyss, the first game in the series. The system was then transplanted to other conflicts To me, that entire premise is wrong: you can’t treat counter-insurgencies as a translate framework, since each is entirely unique to the country and culture involved. Even the small changes made are not enough to account for this, thus making the games of incredibly dubious value from a simulationist point of view There’s a game which I can’t recall the name of about a counter insurgency in a Central American country, which models the cultural prominence of different factions in each region, and those differences have measurable impact on the simulation

I've tried a couple of wargames mods in TTS and the only ones that played better than vassal were block games, anything else was too fiddly in tems of stacking chits, although i heard some updates to tts made that issue better

Between April or 42 and September or 44 my Gato class boat managed to sink 207,200 tons of Japanese shipping, including the Battleship Heibei. Unfortunately in September of 44 I was sunk after wandering into a minefield off of Japan. Such was the fate of the USS Hellfish

I'm running a Pacific War game at the moment where I've tried to give the players as little information about the rules as possible, where I run all of the rules and where I've added additional fog of war, over even the one that the base game rules have, and I've been really hoping no one cheats because it would be extremely easy to do
