Re: Battleground Italy OOB question

I am guessing since it was part of the OOB for the Salerno Invasion, it was placed there. and then transferred back to the 8th Army once the invasion moved past a certain point.

I have not seen the game, do these historical transfers.

You can check the commanders also.

Re: Ghost aircraft or what?

When you mouse over an occupied airbase you will notice a (nnn%). Do not over stack your airfields, above 100%. It will impact efficiency of the air units. When examining the staging base, there are blue hexes, orange and blue lines, etc. They all have meanings. Watch the number of available aircraf...

Re: Factory Type Symbols?

I play with the Player manual, open on a second monitor and constantly look-up items as I discover a need. Yes, it entails a lot of errors. I am guessing using the production charts and examining the various city icons, with a splash of historical throw-in can get an idea of what each mean. It would...

Re: US 8th AF city bombing missions start in Noto

Bring out the Dead! Campaign Game, extra HQ's. My problem is recon missions, that were set up to start in East Angilia, the next turn the start position changes to Noto (153,295). Manually, change it back, and next turn it is back. Only work around I have found is to delete the AD and reset up. It l...

Re: Shipping totals fixed?

After losing a few ships, and the folks and materials loaded aboard them, I figured the naval patrol needs looking into. So, setting up NP boxes from the embarkation ports to the landing beaches seems to make sense. It also seems like supply would also be affected. Better supply the more you control...

Re: Fighters do not engage enemy bombers

I have not switched over to the axis yet so this is just guessing, When you do air superiority how large are the area boxes? Maybe it matters? From the allied side; I run recon to find the airfields with enemy aircraft. I send medium bombers to bomb the airfields in the day, I place night fighters o...

Re: Shipping totals fixed?

Since the sale weekend, I have found this game to be interesting as you learn about some aspect of it being handled by AI, then discovering later in the game the AI is not as 'good', so you then add an additional item to take care of. Handling the Air portion cannot approach the intricacies of 'Bomb...

I loaded up my paras with support units, and when it came time to drop, they would not drop and I received an error message about attached unit. removed the support unit, para dropped. Sec 17.3.9, say the non-airborne units will be moved, but I found that not to be the case. I did not check the livi...

Re: Do support units attached to paratroop units..

So this might explain why I was having such difficulties with paradrops, maybe I was placing vehicle support units. I have not seen any glider type units unless the 52nd BR Air-Portable Division is one.

If so, how is it deployed?

Re: Air National Reserves?

What I have been doing is, Bring up the air unit's panel, pilots tab, Get trained Pilot Crew or Get Max Trained Pilot Crew(s) left click either and you get new pilots. For additional planes? I usually upgrade the unit to fill up on aircraft. I have found the game will fill up aircraft if able, but i...

Recon Squadron Plane Replacements

Been enjoying the game and have now progressed enough to discover a few issues. I found some decade old posts with similar issues, but never found a resolution or work around. This is all recon squadrons and groups, not just the Norway Squadron with limited replacements. Reconnaissance Groups or Squ...

Re: Operation Torch is available now!

The Allies get more Air HQ in the DLC, which allows finer control of the air.

I have not noticed any major changes with the Axis side. But, I have not played Axis yet in this campaign.

I cannot get that number to pop-up.

Let's stay with beginner asking for help, having bought this during the big sales. 1) There has to be a simple method of locating a unit somewhere on the map.

Why is Russian Far East resources limited by a Baltic Blockade?

Didn't Murmansk and Arkhangelsk prevent that?


Sadly, there is no Black Sea. Was thinking the Med being broken into two blocks east/west and the Black Sea could fit in it.
