Profanity about Fredo turns into suicidal orders? Man this new online manager is advanced!! It is constructed by a German so I guess it is what you could expect. Is there a BMW engine in it? Produced in the Ruhr-area?
I havent tried not to place an order at all. Is attacking Poland in turn 01 set as default?
Ooops DONT MENTION THE WAR! I just did but I think I got away with it.

Swedens standard official answer towards any alligations against them:
*puts his hands over his ears and closes his eyes*
"Ahaaaaaahaaaaaaaa ICANTHEARYOUICANTHEARYOU AAAAAAAA ICANTSEEYOUICANTSEEYOU JUSTGOAWAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!"
But, to our defence. The NAP we signed with the allied side in that war didnt include that you couldnt let others through. We gave you some spyinfo we had on Denmark as a "I'm sorry gift".

Quite right. And my country (UK)'s plan in that w.., er, game, was to waste our start-armies, look as if we were no threat to win, then nap and ally with the strongest player in the game, and rely on HIS missiles and armies... But our spyings came good [Enigma].

And there's this sabotage POP order that players rarely use. Poland got hit by that one... Not to mention 20% POP loss when being invaded... Our leaders said there's no point in LEVelling armies...
An actually we were the ones who produced the successful Allied spies (polish mathematicians cracked the code then designed and constructed the first Enigma code decipherer)

Yes, a very salutary thought.And I'd never heard that bit about it being Poles who actually cracked the Enigma code in Bletchley, under Alan Turing, but it sounds very plausible, so I'll believe it.
So, American armies and missiles, Polish spying .....hmmm, what does that leave GB with? Well, we cleverly surrounded ourselves with sea, and then made some great speeches ....

Re: New Game and New WOK Parameters - Caribbean WOK !!!
Pardon me, while I re-hijack this thread, back to the Caribbean WOK game....
Now that the game is almost over, I was wondering if the players could offer their feedback as to whether the parameter adjustments made the game better, worse, or made no difference. I was thinking of opening another game, and I wanted to know what I should do with the parameters. If anyone else wants to chime in about this, please be my guest.Egbert wrote: I have opened up my first online game. The system allows me to change the parameters, so I have! There have been many complaints over the months about what we used to refer to as "WOK4", which is now "Standard WOK." This is because we felt spies and missiles were too powerful, among other things. So, I have made the following modifications:
Long Range missiles now go to 2 provinces away max, instead of 3.
The most number of armies which can be killed by 1 missile is 3, instead of 5.
You only need 6 workers to raise EFF 1 point, instead of 8 workers.
Spying effects on EFF have been reduced to 1% up or down.
You now start with more workers and armies.
All of these changes should show up in the House Rules.

Yep, I think those were FDR's exact words! .....and he was right ... and he sorted it out. IMHO, we europeans should still be rather more grateful than we are, but that's shading too much towards the serious. SoButcher wrote:

That's a popular misconception. A group of Polish mathematicians, led by Marian Rejewski, broke the code in late 1932 (or early 1933 I'm not sure). They shared the discovery with UK and France in July 1939. But it was mainly British intelligence who put the invention to good use at Bletchley, deciphering German messages. That's why I said Poland produced the spies which the UK used successfullyHannibal wrote:And I'd never heard that bit about it being Poles who actually cracked the Enigma code in Bletchley, under Alan Turing, but it sounds very plausible, so I'll believe it.
I'll also gladly explain why Poland not levelling armies is funny if anyone wants me to.
