Post subject: the more I play WPO the more I hate it.
Archived from groups: comp>sys>ibm>pc>games>war-historical (more info?)

playing the 1926 scenario

being low or out of supply seems to have no effect.
A japanese force trapped surrounded and with 7 of 10 units with 0 supply and
the other 3 at 1/10th supply still fights at full effectiveness.
a 2 to 1 attack by the allies results in nearly a 10 to 1 loss ratio for the
Allies, .
but a japanese force attacking at 0-1 and sometimes 1-1 while not having
anybody at the required minimum still inflicts 2-1 losses on the
defender.this isn't a one turn extreme result but a every turn result.

Japanese subs routinely penetrate and linger in HK and shoot ships turn
aafter turn despite masses of DDs aircraft set to ASW and have yet to have
one sub lost, oh yeah there are mines but the IJN subs seem immune
Allied subs meanwhile are getting massacred by jap air ASW as they spend all
day on the surface.

and I want to load five units in a port, a transport group with excess
capacity tries to load them. nope won't.the group has to be disbanded and
rebuilt as 5 distict groups, all with an extra capacity, then you can load
the five land units, and then recombine into a single fleet again. so
loading 5 units takes 41 clicks.

and then there is mine warfare. you need a 10 port to load mines, ooops the
allies only have 10 ports on the U.S. west coast.
so if you lay mines its a 3 month round trip to resupply.
of course the British would never have a supply at HK and Singapore two of
the largest bases in the world, nah they would do that.

and the British don't seem to understand there is a war on.
everybody starts at low strength. 6 months into the war they are still
slowing getting tropops, I guess the brits drop off reinfs in france and
they can walk to china.
and of course there is no way england would ever send send the main
battlefleet to protect them Empire's crown jewels nope, send the oldest BBs,
no Rs ot QE's. they have to keep them at home in case Germany acts up
if this was a fluke result now and again it would ber one thing. but when
such skewed results are happening every turn its's clearly the result of a
seriously flawed game.
I'm beginning to seriously hate Matrix games. and I will think twice before
I buy anymore.

IO can live with clunky interfaces and bad graphics in games. but seriously
unbalanced play turns me off everytime.

and Matrix like Tiller makes unbalanced games.
