<t> I'm gonna jump in as well. <br/>
<br/>
Not a wargame newbie (boy do I feel I am going to regret saying that) but have never played PBEM. So total PBEM newbie. Up for anything but would prefer to start with something smaller.<br/>

Time is pretty limited but can usually get on for an ...

<t> Niceguy am starting to see that now. I will crack on with this and see how it goes but I appreciate your thoughts on the GC scenario. Will tackle that next.<br/>
<br/>
At moment I am starting to dig a little deeper into the game mechanics, especially the supply transport thing. just fired up ...

<t> Im getting hammered by the AI at moment. Just checked the renforcement arrivals schedule and it made me want to cry. <br/>
<br/>
I'm just following the progress of my 3 fast DD that evacuated Hong Kong (thanks Mantill!).<br/>
Odds on they get hit before making it to Singapore. I sent a Tanker ...

<t> Jumper - I take it that "Bloody Shambles" is a worthwhile read ?<br/>
<br/>
I am looking to get a few books on the PTO and might include that one. My knowledge of the theatre is pretty sketchy. Most of my wargaming years were spent on the European front and I am relatively new to the Pacific ...

Well the Repulse and Prince of Wales didnt last long.

They made it about 180 miles before massed waves of Nell's sent them to the bottem of the South China Sea. You live and learn.


Thanks for the swift replies.

<t> Hello all,<br/>
<br/>
I've decieded to jump in and start my first scenario. I've picked Rising Sun on the advice of various things I have read as being one of the better newbie scenarios.<br/>
<br/>
I am after a bit of advice. Just finished the 1st turn and the Japs have done pretty much ...

Thanks for the replies.

Before I mouth off anymore I am going to get into the game and see how it pans out.

Now onto Supply and Auto Convoys. [:)]

<t> The situation I was using of moving the Marines north is just a test situation of the game engine.<br/>
<br/>
I was trying to work out the effects of these 'Restricted Commands'<br/>
<br/>
Of course what I really want to do is load up the Marine regiments and send 'em to Pearl.<br/>
<br ...

<t> Fair reply and I thank you. <br/>
<br/>
Does a command ever become 'unrestricted' ?<br/>
<br/>
Still seems strange, I have 2 Marine Units I want to move by ship to the North, Home base, destination base and units belong to Ninth Corp Area and yet I cannot get them on the transports.<br ...

<t> I am still confused.<br/>
<br/>
Perhaps if I explain it in more detail.<br/>

1926 Scenario. As a test I have created a Transport TF of 12 AK's and 2 AP's at San Diego. I am trying to load up the 2 Marine Regiments that are there and transport them to Los Angeles. All units and bases ...

Morning all (UK anyway),

Where can I find out which commands are restricted and what exactly are the effects of this.

Many thanks.
