<t> Let's talk about the bitter end for a minute. Assume Lowpe loses all his troops - how catastrophic is that? I've never played Japan, so I don't have a sense of where they'd be deployed, or what they should be doing at this point of the game. How does that change if he gets half of the troops out ...

What's that green-looking unit to the west of Balikpapan?

Can anyone tell me the best use of Allied AE's? Are they similar in function as an AKE? I've misplaced my manual and don't have access to my laptop to check the pdf manual. Thanks in ...

<t> Approximately when are you planning to invade Wake Island? Do you have any sense of what the USN:IJN CV ratio will be at that time? Could you continue your advance if you lose this fight? Finally, to Bullwinkle's point, could John do anything decisive at Kwaj while your carriers are off station ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I have gotten in the habit of sending out one xak with a very strong ASW force, as much as 48 ASW guns, in an effort to sink more submarines. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Are you sending it out as a separate Cargo TF, trailed by / following an ASW TF? Or are the escorts ...

The Intrepid is absolutely worth it! IIRC, it's not close to any easy public transportation, so be prepared to cab / Uber / Lyft to and fro.

I went during Fleet Week, and they had a Slava class cruiser visiting next door. Cool ship, but it had carpeting all over the place.

If John lurches his assets away to focus on the threat of Circus, are you prepared to rush reinforcements and supply into Sumatra?

Dan, have you been upgrading the USMC and US Army Rifle Squads to their '43 versions?

Those estimated times to target are very small. Do you have radar sets in your LCUs at Sabang?

<r> I do something very similar, with a tool called Omnioutliner. I track just about everything - daily to-dos, operations, my training programs. Very useful; I can stop what I'm doing and come back to the game days later, w/o missing a beat. Obligatory screenshot, showing the organization and ...

Alfred, thank you for your efforts here, and for explaining the state of the project and the hurdles ahead.

OK, thank you both!

<t> I'm in January '43 of a GC AI game, and I'm working my way through the USA and USMC squad upgrades. Does anyone have any good practices for staying on top of upgrades, making sure that new stuff is making it to your LCUs? <br/>

The only idea I have is to scan the Devices tab of Tracker ...

Still, what stands out to me is the 65 auxiliary. Some of those have got to actually be fighters.

Don't damaged aircraft show up as auxiliary? Did I make that up?

Does anyone else feel the same way about patrol points?

Yes, I feel the same way. I *think* waypoint selection also brings you back to the TF location - I would be happy if that behavior changed as well.

In my game against Erik I perfected the art of unloading in just 2 phases. As you say a lot of things can effect unloading. A mine hit, some ship deciding to refuel, an unwanted reaction, sub attack etc etc...<br/>

So, you don't bother calculating the amount of load needed (considering the ships' capacity reduction due to amphibious loading) because you are always way over due to calculating number of ships required for one-day ...

<r> Sure. Like I said, I use this spreadsheet to help build Amphibious TFs w/ APs / xAPs and AKs / xAKs (in other words, before true assault shipping hits the scene). I load one unit per TF, so I know exactly where each unit goes, all w/ the goal to unload everything in one turn. It seems to work ...

<r> Very cool! I built a similar spreadsheet when trying to figure out whether I could use AP / AK groups to invade places in '42. Worked reasonably well.<br/>
