<t> Will be happy to play with you - have only one allied game in progress for now.<br/>
One question - are you going to play only till AE release? I prefer to play full game, and want to be sure game will not be abandoned after first few "fun" months are over.<br/>

All HR are ok, only ...

unit will arrive at full strenght if
1. - you have sufficient arm pool
and
2. - if they was assigned to come at full strenght by scenario.

<t> for stock there is no need to think about oil\resources for allies at all. You have nearly unlimited supply and fuel in karachi and west coast.<br/>
Just create 1 70k supply convoy at karachi and send it to derby\darwin. Add few TK's with fuel. Send twice of this in first month.<br/>
Also send ...

great plan.
i'm sure you thought about it - but why not to land at the base that have some garrison? this could help your armored forces to advance quickly, if you only could to achieve first breakout.

<t> Bombing manpower is exzctly what you need to do.<br/>
It will not damage manpower industry - but will start fires and give you a chance to destroy other industry instead damaging it. This will provide 18 times more victory points.<br/>
I'm not sure but i beleive it will reduce japanese ...

there is a "history" button on the pilots screen

<t> i made some tests about it<br/>
i took coral sea stock scenario<br/>
using editor placed 4 equal allied TF's - 1 Cleavlend class + 3 DD's<br/>
placed 2 squadrons of kates and 2 sq of betties, with their ranges set to attack their own TF's.<br/>
Executed turn for 10 times to get some ...

Does anyone have a list of what factories convert to what and when? ....... in stock and CHS? I have been thinking on trying the Japanese in CHS and think that info would be a big help.

hey guys - great approach in this aar.
However - do you really think many of us speak japan?

Seems it was old file in installer - i downloaded last 7.957 version

Now i see, that japanese CA have tower armor of only 16, with 8inch gun armor set to 25. Shouldn't it be 160 instead?

I have basically given New Caledonia up for dead unless something major changes. I do not believe that Noumea is empty. My last estimate (yesterday) was over 50000 troops and 100+guns. I am betting then in addition to several baseforces, he has ...

<t> the battle for la-foa could be deceisive for you - he stacked 3 divisions there, while noumea seems to be empty. Anoyher landing directly at noumea - and you should be able to get victory you didn't acheived after singapore fall.<br/>
Try to fly 2-3 recons on it at next turn.<br/>

The IJN Yamato historically was designed 18 different ways - including several versions with 16 inch guns. <br/>
IRL these variants had four triple mountings and the classic ABCD layout. However - in this particular scenario - <br/>
we also ...

Also
Ju 88 is a dive bomber - is that correct? As i remember Ju87 was a dive bomber but Ju88 was madium 2e level bomber

When opened it i was surprised to see Yamato, armed with 9 310cm guns instead of famous 18"
Is it some kind of mistake or it was a decision made?

<t> Hm, manual says that only aerocobras have penalties for air combat at hich altitude.<br/>
<br/>
it seems to be very unrealistic - betties at 25000 feet are almost immune to ships flak (at least for first phase), and still have their accuracy. In reality those 2 engined bombers can't dive so ...

<t> manual says that bombers, armed with torps always use 200 ft altitude, but they suffer from flaks twice - first at theitr ordered att, then at 200.<br/>
Does this mean that it is better to order them to fly always at their max alt to minimize flak losses, while their accuracy will be the same ...

I've just come across another strange course.<br/>

At first glance it looks ok.<br/>
<br/>
But it is going to pick up resources at Port Arthur, refuelling at Bonin, and currently nearer to Marcus Island?
