My sense is that the threat of providing nuclear weapons to Poland is a better bargaining chip than it is an actual deployment option. 

The Russians have been threatening NATO with nuclear annihilation for the better part of two years now.  There's no reason that we shouldn't work with our allies to make it clear that we can rattle our sabers as well. 

Unless we were threatening the Russians with the nuclear weapons we have based in the UK.  Then we'd be rattling our sabres.

Thanks for this summary! Makes it easy to see different strengths and weaknesses of these games.

Quote from: rss334 on April 06, 2024, 11:01:48 AMWatching & waiting for more info on VAS Atlantic but have not purchased yet.  All the games below offer something different but I've yet to find one that I feel has everything I want. 


Task Force Admiral:  Don't know never played

Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts: No airplanes that I know of but most realistic combat + custom ship building / economy based in the Atlantic just like victory at sea.  Multiple Countries

Uboat/Silent Hunter: Obviously subs only - Uboat about boat and crew management a unique game personally I think it is fun

War on the Sea: I'd call it the same as Victory at Sea but less arcady combat focus on pacific
Allied vs Japan.  Not really any simulated economy like Dreadnoughts or the new VAS Atlantic game. Its fun but after a while leaves you wanting a bigger map to play on and more to manage.

Victory at Sea Games (ironclad, pacific, atlantic) - from what I saw the new game is still a little arcady but improves over the prior VAS games which were very arcady.  Of the bunch(on paper) Atlantic has the best economy/resource simulation of them all. Allied vs German.  Atlantic is in EA, but the developer has always been responsive and has a history of improving games.  I guess if your no looking for full realism and interested in watching and/or providing feedback on how the game develops it is a good buy.

Ah! Sadness  :(
Well, I have 30+ games I've never played and two or three I cannot quit. I am sure I can keep busy until the game is done!

Interesting that the C-47 is the same price as a super fort and that the C-54 is the most expensive item on the list. The C-54 certainly had the most potential as a money-earning freight or people hauler for a civilian buyer.

Hmm...

Are they going to make season 2?  Compared to the 80s series, this one ended in an odd place.
