Garlon gets asked for recommendations and provides them, but he isn't telling you that you "have" to do anything.

You can certainly use both recalc and development if you wish. You don't "have" to use 5-year recalc or certain adjust settings. Those are just what he thinks are the best based on his experience trying to get specific results.

I think the biggest issue currently is we are "stuck" with the Adjust/Weaken options chosen at the beginning. There are a number of good reasons to want to tweak that throughout the life of a historical simulation...and it would also make it much easier to test the various settings if you could create a league and ask it to recalc at any point based on new settings.

During war years or strike years it makes sense to have lower adjust/weaken than other seasons.

Do you play historical?
