complications

[Earl822]

Can I just say how bloody confused I am by all the new rules, and that I now believe the sim has become more complex.

I will now be reconsidering my place here.

Ahoj!
It first is like a fight with cobwebs in the darkness, and then - SNAP - everything becomes clear. I am still in the arm waving in the darkness stage, but I see some glimmers of light ....

I've being doing that, and it gets worse.

What do you find complicated?

[Ithekro]

I think we all find it complicated...I found our old rules complex until we played out a few quarters, then we figured out all the steps, then it was just a matter of plugging in ships, troops and points...a few numbers in a simple calculator or in you head it you like, and a sim report is done.  Sometimes you can do several at a time in Word and save them for later (Swamphen does this I think, and I do to some extent).

Lets just get the world in order to our mutual satisfaction and play out a sim year.  If you still don't like thing, we'll either see what we can do about it, or if we find the rules really are too complex for the majority....maybe we can which back to the older style with enough tweaks to make it stable.

[Earl822]

Firstly, all of the additional stuff that before only mods worried about like relative gun and armour qualities, all of which are superfluous.
Secondly, I now admit it took me a whole year of the old rules to get them working properly for me, and the same will probably be true here if I stay.

My confusion isn't helped my be relatively pood health, caused by my uni diet.

Ahoj!
Red meat.
Sleep more, party less, keep off booze and drugs.
That's what I say NOW.
I'm an university kickout - guess why?

It's complicated, but I find I only need to understand some parts of it right now:  the basic ship/army building stuff, the R&D, and how to do a sim report.  Sorting out the railways, merchant marine, fortifications...all that can wait until I feel like doing something with them.

[P3D]

Railway and merchant marine rules are optional, and only guidelines for when we'd need it. Ignore them. Fortifications too if you don't have any.

[Earl822]

Good, I never bothered with Forts. My main annoyance was spending nearly 30000tons on ships with oil firing, and then being told I didn't have it.

[P3D]

We are currently working on the oil firing stuff.

[Earl822]

Ok, good. I am sorry for my outburst about it.

[Borys]

Ahoj!
We forgive!
We love you anyway!

Trust me, there is none on this forum who more hates the rules than I do. I still cannot comprehend them. I start reading and my brain shuts down. It won't keep me from participating but <sob, whimper> it hurts so.
this is a desperate cry for HELP !!!

Ahoj!
