what do you think?
"Researchers are now working on "soldier bots" which would be able to identify targets, weapons and distinguish between enemy forces like tanks or armed men and soft targets like ambulances or civilians."

Paused Games
My game got paused because Germany got banned. We all said /unpaused but Italy hasn't said it yet, so it hasn't unpaused. Is it just going to stay in limbo forever or what?

Games don't draw while paused?
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=6969
The game got screwed up because of a failed attempt to pause (which later passed); we then voted to draw and were told the draw would come into effect in 5 minutes, but it hasn't happened and our best guess is that that the game can't be drawn while paused.

(a) that seems wrong. If we've voted to draw, then it should come into effect regardless of a pause. (b) can we get the game ended?

A player has had to drop out of the tournament in the early years of round 1. Is there any soul out there willing to take up his mantle and carry on the struggle for him?

Links to the games will be in the first post. If you're willing to take up these positions, drop me a line at [email protected] ASAP. It'd be a pity to play a tournament game with a CD.

if Hitler was smart he would have cut a deal with the British and French in 1940 and turned his attention completely to Soviet Russia. The elites of the west would have been fine with fascism destroying communism. Until the war in the West started there were plenty of admirers of Hitler in England, not least the prince. "a firm hand" "a dictator but one who is doing good" you heard the same nonsense from America in the 70s and 80s regarding the south American/African dictatorships they supported. now they are a little bit more nuanced and America doesnt support dictatorships, they support "moderates" like the Saudi royal family and (every election we win at 90%) Egypt's Mubarak.

sorry i thought i better join the two strands in this thread

Good answer!
As for the McCollum Memo, it was a meant to counter Japanesse aggresion, not expand over the world. The USA made many such war plans for almost every country (War Plan Red) and many countries made plans to counter the USA(Defence Scheme No. ) This didnt mean they were aggresive, just prepared.

WW2 had alot of could have or should haves. I do not think cutting a deal with French and English 1940 is one of heard proposed before as a viable option. If the Wehrmact was smart they would have shot Hitler in Spring of 41.

Sean, I believe Hitler did have hopes of cutting a deal with the British and French, but the British turned out more obstinate than he expected.

It was really a near thing that the Soviet government didn't collapse in the first stages of Barbarossa, particularly as the Germans got close to Moscow. If Hitler had sent the Wehrmacht in with winter coats that might have been enough to do it.

Good thing he didn't!

If he had not kept moving divisions from one army group to the other. They lost alot time that way.

If Hitler had focused on taking moscow and not wasting time with st petes/lenigrad then things might have been different too.

If Hitler had listened to his generals...he wouldn't mess up Stalingrad, he wouldn't mess up Britain, be wouldn't mess up Normandy...
Glorious93 (901 D)

Maybe Hitler was planning to take out the USSR and leave Britain and France alone, but his first priority was to take back German territory. He didn't expect Britain and France to actually keep their promise and defend Poland - after all, they had made the same promise to Czechslovakia. As I understand it, Hitler admired the British and had no intentions of war with them. But thats the way it turned out. After that he should have concentrated solely on taking out Britain and France and assuming Russia would stick to the Nazi-Soviet pact. No reason why they wouldn't.

We would have made much better Hitlers!

Going for Lenigrad first than using that as jumping off point in spring of 42 to take out Moscow would also work. This would have freed up the Finnish army to take Mermask and Archangel, German units tied down to the siege could have used more effectivly else were, after the port was reopened in 42 supply problems would have eased up for the northern and central Army Grps.
