STRATEGIC WAR IN EUROPEGAME MANUAL

Leaving no fleet out of port when a turn ends has helped me lot.It’s rare to see Japanese sporting curly or kinky bob-like hair. So, players are advised not to take the naval war representation in SCWE too literally and to make sure to compensate for the lack of match between the space and time scales and the small size of the fleets sailing non-stacked in the seas of conflict. SCWE has generated a naval environment that doesn't allow a massive fleet to be assembled, but rather separate parts which are liable of getting fed piecemeal into the opposite navy. The player has no chance to refuse a naval engagement if his fleet or task force is attacked and will likely opt for a very conservative operational approach. SCWE uses almost the same base mechanics in both land and naval combat with no offensive or defensive persistent orders available besides convoy raiding. Although all of the above are possible within the engine, the SCWE engine doesn't get too much traction in the handling of naval operations. The naval aspect of the game is satisfying enough but SCWE is not a game that will be remembered for dashing fleet action, catastrophic loss of sea line communications or the destruction of commerce by submarines.

But then off course, the range of the air units is big enough to base them out to the rear. It is also worth to mention that air units occupy an entire hex, which in some desperate situations is a piece of real estate that could be used for land units. The overall result of this game mechanics is believable most of the time, but the non-stacking rule may generate some head scratching moments in campaigns like D-Day, in which the player may have to leave many troops in the channel, embarked and unable to reach the overpopulated shores of Normandy. So, no out-of-a-single-stacked-hex simultaneous attacks, but sequential attacks are possible. This allows to move in another land unit into the attack and then repeat the procedure until the frontline gets too crowded to accommodate another fresh unit for further offensive operations. Indeed, the lack of stacking is compensated by the new ability of land units to move, attack and then move back (with much reduced mobility) into friendly territory. Some players have wondered why the game doesn't allow the stacking of units within an hex, but given the size of the most common land units it does not affect gameplay too much.
