<t> I agree with feinder, its all about offense and numbers as allies in early war. A few more of those basically obsolete wildcats will not stop the KB from smashing though your cap. You need to force YOUR bombers through, as many as possible, and then just take whatever your opponent dishes out in ...

<t> Since the Japanese have the edge in quality throughout all of 42 the only way to counter this is by numbers. The airfield needs to be stacked to the first limit ie a lvl6 airfield should have <600 planes together with an air HQ. Youll fly at 25% deficiency but the nice thing is that 1) after 1 ...

Don't mess with the IRS... Tax evasion is what they nailed Capone on...

They'll never take me alive!

Im gonna catch both movies but Letters from Iwo Jima looks like it will be a real treat. [:)]

It does. Convinient way to support those huge LCU stacks. [:)]

<t> Appreciate the education on HQs and their effect. [:)] <br/>
<br/>
What Ive been doing is building defensive bastions around the different HQs to slow the Japanese steamroller. It has worked reasonably well in my pbems in all places except China where units are out of supply and no amount of ...

<t> Hi Xargun, both brigades had some disablements at first. After a few weeks they had fully recovered and had 0/5 dis/fat. Despite this no replacements for weeks despite both being in the same base hex as their commanding HQ, together with 300k supply. Then Japan invades and replacements start ...

Strange things happening to me as well, I rescued most of the part of 2 brigades and put them in a base with their HQ and loads of supply. No replacements for 1½ months.. until the Japanese invades and starts shelling the place. Suddenly replacements start arriving. [:'(]

<t> Thanks Xargun. [:)]<br/>
<br/>
Two more question if I may, does the command HQ have to be in a base hex to excert influence or does it just have to be within range?<br/>
<br/>
Another thing Im wondering about that I mentioned, lets say swpac HQ is in Nomuea together with 6 and 7 aus divs ...

<t> Hi, does the command HQ help out units attached to other commands as well? Does it matter if the base is under a different command?<br/>
<br/>
For example 27th div (centpac) sits in Sydney (AusCom) together with the I aus corps HQ (swpac) and nearest command HQ and within range is northpac ...

I wonder what a near splash from one of those 40cm shells would do to a PT. [:)]

[:D]

<t> Chez >> I agree completely with your point. But the game is what it is. [;)]<br/>

mantill >> The allied kamikaze doctrine of hitting the 240 plane CAP KB instead of the 3 divisions in transports annoys me to no end. Chosing a type of target is a great idea, warship or transport. Im ...

Hi, escort vessels attached to transport TFs will try to screen the transports and draw fire, ie putting themselves between the enemy warships and the soft APs. This usually means most escorts sunk in face of a powerful surface TF as they fight to the last man protecting the cargo.

Nemo is right. One of my opponents happily bombarded both singapore and manilla to dust. [:'(] Was a nasty surprise to discover just how useless CD guns are when the proper tactics are applied.

Thanks! [:)]

<t> Thanks for the thoughts and tips nemo and niceguy. [:)]<br/>

Btw niceguy Im reading your AAR right now. Interesting how you held Greycompany up in DEI for so long. Personally when I put troops in the path of the Japanese advance they just seem to dissapear mysteriously. Bug perhaps? [:D ...

<t> AmiralLaurent >> Thanks! These are some great practical advice. [:)] I have tried a few of these tactics right from the start in my 2nd pbem (where I corrected most of the fowlups from the 1st) and it really puts a whole different spin on the China campaign.<br/>
