It would be elegant, and would eventually enable the rules to be streamlined and facilitate Cold War expansions with bombers over the poles etc but I'm just happy there will soon be a playable MWiF. My replay facility got binned too. Actually I think Steve might have something against me :) Cheers, Neilster I would dearly love to code a replay capability. Could you arrange for there to be 60 hours in a day and 10 days in a week? If so, we can discuss the number of weeks in a year next.[:)]

Get the Babylonians with their base 60 number system to organise each day and use the Revolutionary France 10 day week (1783-1805). You might need a wormhole or some kind of space-time fabric melder as well. Problem solved! Cheers, Neilster

Cheers, Neilster I guess it's just a typo but as a Frenchman, I have to correct it: the 10 day week system came into force in 1793 and not in 1783 (i.e. after the French revolution had actually begun [8D])

I think it's Primidi, 1 Ventôse An CCXVII (Year 217) in this part of the world right now [:'(] I'm loving this decimal date stuff. Cheers, Neilster

quote: The decision to have a single scale for both the European and the Pacific Theatre maps did change how the game plays. I remember all the debates in this forum about this long ago, which was why I wished back then that the Fuller map projection be implemented if such a fundamental change was going to be implemented anyway. Yes, changing the map is a big change. Though it has always been a Wif goals (lots expension add map to replace the off -map hexes). Changing the number of hexes like using the european scale everywhere is really a big change. If you want to use the old strategy then you will have to ask for an original map option with the off-map hexes and asain hexes, so I don't see why we cannot have a spherical earth. I like geographic realism as at least this one can be correct. As this quote stress out, the map is already altered so let go to the final state and make it sperical so we have no disortion of distance. I have naver consider playbility when it game down to an historical wargame of that scope. So please consider that for the next expansion.

Extraneous -> RE: I hate to say this... (9/18/2009 4:47:12 PM)
In the last few days when I try to logon to the forums it asks for my name, password AND to key in a series of letters. Is this a new requirement or is there somthing going on I should be responding to?

composer99 -> RE: I hate to say this... (9/18/2009 6:18:54 PM)
Maybe they had some bots trawling the forums recently?

Is this a new requirement or is there somthing going on I should be responding to? I hope it will soon cease. It's a pain. Have you noticed you always have to key in EXACTLY six letters ? Never five, never seven ? Have you wondered why ? [&:] Well, here is the explanation (this is not official yet) : as soon as you're asked to key in "ITPOTE", you get a choice : - you can now play with this option !! OR - you can get a free trip to Hawaii () () The only (small) condition is to answer Steve's request without using the Irish solution (see above), the combined Babylonians-French solution (see above but below), or any other solution (see anywhere you want). Alain PS : I've got a cold and needed a break, so please, no hard feelings if this piece of information is not 100% accurate
