Thank you for the clarification. Yes, it is exactly Bataan. I will concentrate on airfield attacks to work over the supply pile for a while. I sometimes avoid being too specific because I don't always want too specific an answer in terms of "behind the curtain" mechanics ...

Thanks. I guess you mean the "Logistics 101" update from Alfred? I couldn't find anything else by him that seemed to fit and the "search" function returned nothing. Bottom line seems to be FOW makes everything iffy, but the boomier the device, the more damage AND that the ...

Reduction of Supply by Bombing?

<t> <br/>
Question: the manual in 7.2.1.7 suggests that supply at a base may be attacked and reduced by either port attack or airfield attack. Is one or the other more effective in reducing the supply remaining at a base and therefore available to the LCUs there stationed? If my intention is to ...

<t> Hi.<br/>

For the Naval Search part of this, maybe it will help (with suspension of disbelief for those few times when it does occur) to remember that Mikawa split a seam of search arcs on the way to Savo I.? Not completely congruent, I realize, but perhaps balm for the outraged spirit ...

RE: Oh Bugger......

Nice long-range bump, Miller. One of my major personal problems with AE is remembering to take the looong view before I make too many assumptions.... man, this game is a complex education, no?

RE: Things Noob Allied Players should know

<t> Applies to both sides:<br/>

I believe if you send more than one Transport TF (within port capacities) to small (less than 4 maybe?) ports they will not dock automatically. They wait in line, but the player must do the docking, after the previously unloaded TF has departed and freed up ...

Don't convert. AMCs are military ships like AKs, they have the same unload bonus compared to xAKs. IMO AMCs are more useful. They are only lacking AA guns, but it doesn't matter much because AKs are lousy AA ships anyway.<br/>

RE: Moving res/oil from N China

<t> This is all most interesting. It appears as well in my game as Japan, the stuff does flow but very slowly and with the help of "need" and setting home ports as mentioned. So, Numdydar's reminder about the fact that a turn is usually one day is most useful. When I get caught up in the complexity ...
