RE: Patch advice.

Official patch from last year and then beta. Right, got it. Haven't had to do patch this game for a while and couldn't remember what the betas contained.

Thanks Paxmondo!

Patch advice.

I munged up my computer a wee bit and I'm just about to reinstall AE. Should I be ok with the latest beta patch over a clean install or do I need the last official patch on there first? I think the last official patch was way back in Feb last year. Has there been one more recently than that?

Superb. I'm currently doing my first ever turn as Japan and have been stumped by the sheer volume of stuff, things and whatnots. I think your sheets will be getting a lot of reading. Thanks for all the work.

RE: Fun with Midgets

<t> I had seriously bad luck with them in a recent Guadalcanal scenario. I think every single carrier I had got sunk on their first mission out, which kind of made use of the midgets themselves fairly academic. I think I had two which launched ok and made it back to the carriers. Neither achieved ...

RE: Where the eastern wind is blowing... AAR against Canoerebel

I like your thinking. It actually correlates with a lot of stuff that's been swimming around in my own noggin recently. I'm beginning to get the feeling this match could become a proper classic. Cannot wait to see what happens.

<t> As a long term AFB I'm currently playing a PBEM of the Guadalcanal scenario as the Japanese before we start a proper campaign. It would be very interesting to see how you cope with playing as the other side. Given that you don't really enjoy the pilot training side of things, do you think you ...
