1) She don't care as long as we are making things together ( shopping, hicking, you know, this kind of stuff)
2) She laugh at me when i explain that my opponant did twist my forces and ruin my plans.

Status: offline 		Well, my wife got upset at the time I was spending on the computer in general.
One day, as I was playing an SSI game, she walked over to the pc and emptied
a pot of water on the machine and me.
Needless to say, I am now single.
BTW, why do the morale value of Allied air units, both land and sea, seem so low
in the later scenarios. I see values in the 40-50 range. I would have thought that in '44,
starting morale would be better. It's causing some probs in my games. Any ideas?

Status: offline 		The low morale later in the war was due to fatigue after years of fighting.  New replacements are not welcomed with open arms by the vets and the vets are tired of fighting.  If the rest areas are hellish then imagine what the combat must've been like.  Besides how many happy campers will you have when their lives are at risk and the fighting is brutal?  The only thing troops on the battlefield want is to survive and go home ASAP.

Exactly the same for me but with a very small difference:
it seems that to the eyes of my wife, my virility depends directly of my capacity to win the game.
She often ask me: "when will you sink Emek's CV?"
"Soon, honey, soon"

If my virility was linked to my 2 PBEMs then I'd have the new name of Numbnutz.  As the Japanese in 4/44 I'm in deep stuff and as the Allies, well read my AAR.

Status: offline 		tocaff, thx for your ideas re: low starting morale for allied air units. Did the devs actually use that as the reason?
I would agree that morale might suffer over time as losses mount. In the game however, I have new units
arriving in SF with low morale. As an example, VMF314 arrived at SF with a morale rating of 56 on 6/25/44.
The experience rating was 59. Morale value seems low for a new unit.
Thx.

PLUS WITP & AE & BFTB when it arrives are far cheaper than me going to the pub or my wife's quilting hobby!
