Swearing at the beginning of a post might be taken as disrespectful by some...or maybe just hypocritical.

<r> GreasyLake, I know this wasn't exactly what you were asking, but I thought I'd note this. Japanese Type 13 Radar was supposed to be fixed in 1.806.<br/>

For a movie (PBS Masterpiece&nbsp;Theatre)&nbsp;about Australia in the war, A Town Like Alice. I'ts based on a Nevil Shute novel, and more about prisoners of war and a love story, but I thought it was really well done.

PBEM, standard scenario, forget the patch...Turn Nine....

Guam capitulated and was occupied by the Japanese...but I didn't invade it?!? Yes, Tinian and Saipan have base forces on them, but I didn't attack.

Anyone else see isolated islands simply surrender?

<t> In a PBEM,&nbsp; the AI is routing my ships around suspected subs: I set a straight line course of 8 hexes, the AI routes me around a bend of 12 hexes. I asked my opponent if he had a sub in this area and he confirmed it. I never received an Operations&nbsp;report or sighting of a sub, and there ...

<t> No one has mentioned the Flak Gap in any of the previous postings.&nbsp;Quoting Yamato hugger on this subject from a post of 7/26/07, "Between 6 and 9 is the infamous "flak gap". It isn’t that there is no flak, it just it’s too high for the light guns, and too low for the big ones. This being in ...

The planes on a Japanese AV fly any time I give them a mission at sea (not just when they are docked), just like the CS, yes? The reason I ask is that when I click on an AV TF it doesn't show the search radius of the planes even though I have that option selected.

I started reading your AAR a couple of weeks ago when you replied to some related threads about CV battles. Pretty damned exciting! I'm more into your game than I am my own right now.<br/>

I know you're in the middle of major operations on and around ...

Thanks quiritus.

<t> I ordered the 20th Eng. Rgt. to move toward Wuchow from Canton to extend my Zone of Control. For some inexplicable reason, the Canton Base Force followed it even though it is a Static unit. I did not set the Follow unit command. (PBEM by the way.)<br/>

I intend to order the 20th back to ...

<t> If I'm approaching an invasion site and I know PT boats are awaiting me, can my CV covering force squadrons sink or at least keep them from thwarting the invasion?<br/>
<br/>
Do I set a squadron or two of Zeroes on Naval Attack at 100 feet to accomplish this? Any other tactics to keep them ...

If I send Japanese Southern Area units into China, will they switch to China Area command at some point? If so, how long do I have?

<r> I started out playing a PBEM (as Japanese), but it only lasted a few turns. Now I'm playing both sides/H2H. When I get stumped, I send Ops, Combat&nbsp;and Asigint Reports to my brother or cousin to reposition TFs, LCUs, and air units. The sigint is usually a little meatier with hints to ...

I thought I read somewhere that the size of the US Army in 1939 was smaller than Greece (or was it Portugal?). Can someone point me towards an online reference as to the numbers of folks in uniform (USA) pre-WW2?<br/>

I had not considered that the large USN might have been seen by Japan, as a dagger aimed at her. I always viewed the move of the Pacific Fleet to Hawaii as ...
