It's a good thing that you put in the parenthetical comment at the end.. I was thinking that you would start receiving 6000 combat reports per minute! <br/>

<t> Has anyone tried a N. Atlantic-style "Big Convoy" approach to the problem? What I mean is a very large number of AK/TK's escorted by a large (8 or more?) force of DD's, perhaps using the waypoint system to drop off ship(s) at smaller bases along the way to dock and unload then "picking up" those ...

<t> I love this game but I must ask who in their right mind thought of such a complicated, confusing, multi-faceted answer to a simple question like "how many planes can I have at an airfield"?<br/>

I like this game and I enjoy the level of detail but things like this are downright tedious ...

I think too many people have way too much time on their hands [:-] [;)]

Almost forgot my personal favorite, even the Brits couldn't rival this one for understatement:

Don't forget US div's have a lot more (and better) organic artillery.

I'm partial to USS Hellcat Carrying Death Machine myself.

Yeah, PLEASE don't make the B-25 gun-ship version useless now...

Since it's a game about the PTO the first thing I thought of was the famous submarine USS Barb [:D]

I always wondered how many supply points would fit in one of the semitrailers where I work. [:D]
