<t> I'm not sure, even reading Dr. Erwin's post, what exactly HE is looking for.<br/>
<br/>
However, the idea of a- say 1 week- campaign centered around the Midway operation sounds interesting to me. <br/>
<br/>
I caveat that by saying that if you are looking for "The Battle of Midway", then as ...

<t> I've been reading this thread with interest. Although I agree that WiTP:AE is not the best game to simulate this battle- too many moment-to-moment decisions impacted the battle that cannot be accurately simulated in WiTP:AE- the idea of a Midway scenario still interests me.<br/>
<br/>
I opened ...

<t> I just finished Eagle Against the Sun and thought it was an excellent 1-volume account of the Pacific war. It will leave you hungry for more.<br/>
<br/>
Costello's Pacific War is always a good choice.<br/>
<br/>
I thought At Dawn We Slept was excellent. Although at first I didn't think I ...

Agree fully with the OP.&nbsp; FOW for enemy is great.&nbsp; FOW for friendly is just annoying.&nbsp; It's not really FOW...I can go in and click on the unit and get its true state.&nbsp; So really it's just a time-waster.

<r> Been reading a long time, but I don't post a whole lot.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, since we're posting our diving faces, here's mine:<br/>

I prefered the Guadalcanal book over the original, but they are both excellent.

<t> I'll second the following:<br/>
Costello's Pacific War- a great overview.&nbsp; It has some errors, true, but they're not show-stoppers.<br/>
Lundstrom's The First Team and The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign are both really good books, very detailed treatments of the air combat.&nbsp ...

Thanks for the responses.

rtrapasso, that sounds like the best idea for me, provided it won't mess up the registry or anything. I know some games have problems with multiple installs on the same computer.

I'll try it and see how it works out.

<t> Hi all.<br/>
I am part way through a campaign game, and I'm interested in starting a new game (vs. AI) as the other side.<br/>
<br/>
Can I have both campaigns saved in the same folder, one of the 200 slots or so that are allotted for saved games, without any problems with switching between ...

<t> Thanks VSWG.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I was thinking something along the same lines, namely that the bulk of the game is going to be recovering those 7000 victory points and then getting ahead a bit.&nbsp; Obviously as the US, I should expect the war to start swinging my way as my reinforcements start ...

<t> Ok, we can try this. I forgot to mention I think that I'm playing stock WITP with the 1.8 patch.<br/>
<br/>
For US:<br/>
Sorties 4000/turn<br/>
Bases 160<br/>
A/c pts lost 2222<br/>
Army pts lost 1803<br/>
Ships sunk 102/ 1901 pts<br/>
Total score 19370<br/>
<br/>
For Jap:<br ...

<t> Hi all,<br/>
I don't post here to much, but I have an unusual request from someone who's played quite a bit; a vet's opinion would be appreciated.<br/>
<br/>
I'm playing the scenario that starts in May 42, vs. the AI as the Allies. I've been playing this campaign off and on for about 7-10 ...

Ok, I can buy KIA= relieved of duty.&nbsp; I just had it happen again, and it's frustrating, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it unless it's Halsey, Fletcher, etc...

<t> Hey all,<br/>
A number of times, I will have a ship get badly wounded in combat, but not sink. I will send the ship back to a port. Several times (in fact, it seems most times), when the ship sinks many turns later, either at sea or even docked in port, the CO of the ship dies.<br/>
<br ...

<r> Hey all,<br/>
This isn't specific to WITP, but it is based in the Pacific theater and I thought you all might really enjoy it. It is by far the best video of its type I have seen.<br/>
<br/>
See ya,<br/>

<t> Thanks for the inputs.&nbsp; From what you're saying then, is that even though Sydney is a size 10 port, it's not as 'large' as the mainland ports.&nbsp; Therefore, I'm gonna need to move my capital ships to PH for repairs.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I have Wasp and Hornet in port at Brisbane, one with ...

Follow up question- will moving one or more AR's to any port significantly affect repair? Can these ships provide any benefit in a TF with a heavily damaged ship, ie. can they 'rescue' a ship struggling to make port before sinking?

<t> Hey all,<br/>
I tried to find this answer in the manual, but couldn't quite get the answer I'm looking for.<br/>
<br/>
I'm positive you all have answered this before- thank you for your patience and repeating yourself for my benefit!<br/>
<br/>
Playing as the allies, do I need to move a ...

Thanks for the help all.

This is really helpful, and I'm sure it's been answered a thousand times before.

<t> Thanks Marky,<br/>
I was browsing through the A/C database and found out they carry torps.&nbsp; I have one squadron there, but I'm going to need to round up squadrons from all over the map.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
On a separate note, I launched a TBF strike, 8 TBF's only in the attack, and they ...
