Yes, and this reason is also the main reason why I generally prefer manual wargames. No "black box" problem. <br/>

Your idea how to handle strat. moving may be better, but we have to live with what we got ...

<r> Sure, I can redo the battle if you insist. I also added the Japanese Corps HQ I forgot last time:<br/>

<r> I used shock attacks because (see above in my late war experiment) I had a clear advantage in numbers/firepower and wanted to capture the port/airfield asap before enemy reinforcements arrive. <br/>
<br/>
No, I do not need to redo it since it clearly shows what I have be trying (poorly I admit ...

<r> <br/>
If anyone is interested I did a late war experiment.<br/>
<br/>
The only thing I changed between the two battles was deploying Japanese reinforcements in strat-mode. The allies invaded with three divisions and I reinforced with six divisions (simple rule = double the amount). As allied ...

Below is the alternative with no allied strat-move units moving into hex. Nothing else changed.<br/>

Well, the only thing I was interested in was if the penalty, in this simulation, is too low. My feelling is that it should be a bit higher. Perhaps -90%.

Will run the test late tonight as I am in charge of a Command & Color: Napolenonics session in the early evening.<br/>

Ok, so the modification is -75%, however with at least fort 3 (+50%) and jungle (+50%) that means the allied units are fully operational right? so I am basically ...

<r> <br/>
So what you are saying LoBaron, is that with Forts and good terrain (Jungle) and superiority in numbers Strat Mode will do just fine? In that case this is the perfect invasion defense! Why have lots of troops in combat mode guarding different beaches when you can have the tropps hidden ...

<r> <br/>
Thanks Moose,<br/>
<br/>
That was my thought too until a few days ago. That is: never deploy a strat mode unit near the enemy. However, my opponent did just that (in jungle terrain and fort lvl 3) and my attacking units were almost completely destroyed/devastated. <br/>
<br/>
In order ...

Can anyone pls tell me the combat modification due to strat mode (railway transportation) -10%, -20%?

Why not write the English translation from Japanese instead?

Ki-44 Shouki = Ghostkiller
Ki-45 Toryuu = Dragonslayer

etc.
