ORIGINAL: rev rico WITP:AE is a great game, but I'm wondering about the "historicity" of excessive Allied losses in the first couple years. How would it affect morale, strategy, and public opinion? For example, in one of my PBEM games, it is Jan '43 and the Allies have lost (FOW understood): 6x CV 1x CVL 1x CVE 18x BB 17x CA 21x CL/CLAA 92x DD/DE/APD 381x AK/AP 43x TK/AO 131x others Basically, their carrier & battleship fleets are gutted. My courageous opponent doesn't care because in 12 months it'll all be replaced! But what how do you think the Allies woud've responded in WW2? BTW, IJN cap.ship losses are 2x CV 2x CVL 4x BB 3x CA Curious, Bob AE factors in losses and morale as part of auto-victory calculations. If losses (in lives, equipment, territory) are too much, civilian morale plummets, and the Allies agree to a negotiated peace. I think that's what auto-victory represents.
