<t> I recently tried to re-install UV on a new computer and the game kept telling me the serial number was in valid. I have my origial disc (which has a number and order number on it....both are nearly the same) and the little piece of paper which also has my order number on it. I tried the ...

<t> I have started to mess around with this scenario (daylight bgd tactics) and have been having a little bit of difficulty. I guess the biggest observation I have is that I have the wrong units for the job. In particular, It appears like everything I have is motorized in one form or another ...

Some pretty good advice. I was finally able to get something to work for me that I was happy with:<br/>
<br/>
1) load 7th div on APs and marshalled it offshore<br/>
2) Make IJN pay a heavy price on the APs attempting to take GG with CV task force. You will still lose GG ...

Try this one out....their reviews are always pretty detailed.

<t> Shattered Sword - I have to put in another vote for this one, I just finished it and it is an excellent comprehensive study of Midway<br/>
Destruction of the Bismark <br/>
Making of the Atomic Bomb - Excellent comprehensive study into the incredible efforts to make it happen<br/>
Clear the ...

<t> Sounds like some interesting house rules.&nbsp; Though I think the IJN player is at a significant disadvantage from this rule.&nbsp; Due to the massive production and the future power of the 4E bombers talked about above, the IJN player needs to make as big an impact as quickly as possible ...

<r> I played it when it first came out and was pretty happy with it.&nbsp; I stopped when it seemed to get monotonous and when the air cover became too cumbersome and accurate.&nbsp; It basically became a conflict between having long transit distances to arrive at the patrol zone and not being able ...

thanks

<t> I have a quick question about the coordinates on the WPO map and how it relates to enemy task forces and their reported headings. Since the covered area is so large and would actaully be curved. How do I know which way is North. When I click on a detected TF, I will get some basic information on ...

<t> I have to agree with a lot of the above comments. I don't think you would end up in the position of playing UV for only 2 minutes and then wishing you had WITP. It will take much longer than that to learn the subtleties and mechanics of the UV engine. I have just finished my first full campaign ...

I have noticed that they don't seem to clear every turn, even in enemy controlled areas. It may something to do with experience, density of mines and detection of the ships or perhaps they just have a good union contract [:)]

Is this port held by you or is it an invasion site. In my last game I had to have the MSWs set to patrol and do not retire. I also noticed that they wouldn't necessarily detect mines every day. They seemed to detect them the day after they arrived on station. I think if they ...

I imagine the Allies duds would be significantly higher than the IJN. The longlance torpedos were considered to be very reliable and very deadly. I know I cringe every time in a surface combat when I see "torpedos in the water" [:)]

<t> I just had the AI on the default (historical setting?). It has been a while since I checked but I think the other levels just give the AI supply bonuses? <br/>
<br/>
If I was to play it again I tink I would probably assign some house rules to myself, something along the lines of restricting 4 ...

Although I have only been a member for a relatively short period of time...I have been a lurker for at least a couple of years and have had the opportunity to see the support on other Matrix games. I agree completely that these bugs can be very irksome and often frustrating ...

<t> I agree....there is nothing like playing againsta another human opponent. I used to have a lot of fun playing the Campaign Series games against a friend of mine a number of years ago. I appreciate the invitation but I don't feel I have the time available to dedicate the time or the schedule ...

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>The Bug & Errors support here is ( being polite ) very poor - even a courtesy reply is more often than not completely non-exsistant. <br/>
It really does need to improve. All effort seems to fade away once any game has been "on the shelves" for a while. Matrix really ...

<t> You must be getting pretty decent at UV....you have been posting some very good advice. I find in games like these there are usually numerous ways of getting things done but only about 1 or 2 that are a "good" way of getting them done. One lesson I learned this game was it seems to be a good ...

As soon as the troops were off loaded at shortland I sent them to Brisbane and now have most of my troops staged at Gili Gili. I finally conquered Shortland around the end of Sep 43 and have been bombing Lae for the last two weeks and have ...

<t> Well after I have bombed shortland into oblivion for approximately 6 weeks (amount of time it took to get some of the forces recalled and up and on transports), I have landed a good sized group (Marine Div 1 + 2 and two oter divisions) on the island and have started the assault. I think they ...
