Re: Sardaukar's 7th AAR (with some strategy tips and tricks)

Hey Sardaukar ...

Thank you very much for posting this. I've been reading it non-stop all morning and enjoying it thoroughly.

I'm thinking about getting back into AE (after a diversion into Aurora 4X) and you've given me some motivation. I also did some searching and discovered the AE editor!

RE: Combat Reporter has gone Gold - Version 1.0 is available

Weird.&nbsp; Looks like a corrupted jar file or a serious version mismatch.

Can you open the command prompt and type "java -version" and post the results?

RE: A-20 A Havoc Light or Medium Bomber

The A-20 had a "takeoff weight" of just over 20k pounds and a single pilot.

For comparison, the P-38 fighter's tow was 21.6k pounds and the B-25's (canonical medium bomber) was 41.8k pounds.

Sounds like a light bomber to me.

Since the split torpedo tubes work so well, why isn't the main turrets on your larger warships split according to the number of turrets?? Some BBs have 4 turrets with 3 guns each, but the device list them as 6 forward and 6 rear rather ...

Every month or so I send a huge convoy to Darwin from Townsville or Sydney escorted by a CV or a couple of CVEs.&nbsp; Every now and then I lose an xAK, but generally they're unescorted and the fighters on the carriers have a turkey shoot.
