the clip is correct, I know of no source that definitively attributes any such statement to the Admiral, but it IS widely documented that he was very troubled by the post attack declaration submitted to the US government (having lived in the US for years and understanding the character of its people).

a further advantage is it rearms PTs including torpedoes.

An APG in not considered a "repair" ship for game purposes like an AR or ARD so you won't see that option, they simple assist in repairing small craft, it can repair "major" damage to such craft.... so you won't see a "X" beside such damage if an APG is present.

PH yard is not big, It will take months, but you need to get floatation down to 50 or lower before you send her to the wast coast for repair and upgrade...

no problem, I too have seldom get that far, although my current game is in June '44...

No that hits troop concentrations, I believe you want city attack....IIRC.

A further tactic is to station engineers at a refinery and that way when the Japanese attack and take it, the engineers are the ones who destroy elements of the refinery The more engineers, the heavier the havoc caused. Besides bombing it once in Japanese hands, it's the only way I know that will ...

interesting observations, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Tony for your input. I've talked to Alfred about his situation in regards to the Forum on multiple occasions and I too would be loath to put words into his mouth. But the facts are his account was suspended for a finite period of time which expired long ago and he was then informed he ...

FYO; He was driven away.

Let me try and intervene here a bit as I interact with both of you a fair amount.

I believe that you are both correct. He chooses not to return, I believe, because he feels that there are certain "things" permitted in this forum that are not in alignment ...

FYI; Alfred was NOT "driven away" as you put it. In fact he has the green light to return whenever he wants, he has chosen not to.

BB, I understand all about "height of eye" and target height above the horizon, I have spent years at sea (literally) and way too many hours staring at a PPI display. My question concerns definitive statements about the GAME that are often made with little or no sources put forth. I think we all ...

radar on subs.... surface radar is only one hex, but air radar sweeps wider and can detect air at greater ranges, thus "early" warning...


I think that you are incorrect. I do believe that radar only works within the hex but a greater range than one hex increases the odds for detection. But ...

You can do this but keep in mind that this will be but a trickle in comparison to what will be needed....

Glens can be effective as early warning barriers for the Japs if the weather cooperates... Petes can't be on sobs. I use Glen equipped subs as a sort of tripwire outside of remote islands and they work ok. It's the best Japs have until radar comes along.

rear area is self-explanatory......

Assault means the person is highly aggressive and should be placed in a unit destined to attack, while combat means the guy is good in the line but falls short in terms of aggression and should be used in frontline defensive units.......both have good combat skills normally.

Some units can't divide because a fragment it coming later as reinforcements, check your reinforcements list. This happens a lot with Jap air units.

only the Glens will fit.
