Hi guys,

Hornet went done, some fragments of her air group evacuated to a nearby base. The main units show up as destroyed. Is there a way to rebuild the main unit or to turn the fragment into the main unit?

Thanks!

<t> I am usually playing the allies against ai. My units usually end up all over the place, meaning SoPac units in Port Moresby, SwPac units in the pacific and so on. This happens because otherwise I am basically forced to follow the historic strategy and timetable, e.g. attack Guadalcanal when it ...

<r> I see your point but the thing is, from mid 1943 onwards I have enough carriers to provide local air superiority anywhere I want so I don't really need fast transports anymore, I can force through large supply TFs under carrier protection. APD's helped me keep Milne supplied, they did a great ...

<t> Yes, I meant conversion, not upgrade, sorry got them mixed upp there. Thanks for the info, guys, I will see what I can find out.&nbsp;I just saw someone posting such a list for the japanese side and since I am always short on APs and AKs and just got my few APD sund trying to sneak some supplies ...

Hi guys,

so far I haven't really bothered upgrading allied ships. Is there a comprehensive list of which ship can be upgraded to what, for example which DD to APD, which xAk to AP and so on.

Thanx

it is wondered if perhaps the IJN's reports from liason officers observing the battle of britain <br/>
were counter-productive.

I beg to differ on this statement. Both the UK and Germany designed their ...

Actually SWPAC and SoPAC is quite a good point where PPs should be payed - As MacArthur and Nimitz actually competed for reinforcements.

I see your point but would like to argue against it [;)]. I mean, I am after all the supreme, absolute ...

Personally, I try to use the HQ associations as realistically as possible.<br/>
<br/>
If a unit is not attached to a given HQ and I don't have the PPs to make it so, then I do not send it off on adventures in that HQs domain.<br/>

<t> Three more things:<br/>
1) If the place is to far away to control the skies, bring carriers to provide local air superiority. Don't place the carrier TF in the coastal hex where the landing is taking place. Only half of a carrier planes will fly in coastal hexes. Park the carriers in an open ...

<t> 1) Yes, have the bombard TF attack the turn you want to land, add some cruisers to your amphib force, they will surpress the beaches. If you have enough heavy ships you can also have several bombard tf that roll in over several turns.<br/>
2) No, just move it to the target hex and make sure it ...

Thanks for the info. I figured it doesn't really matter but wanted confirmation. I might do the same you did and increase pp in the scenario. Only problem is, I do use pp do buy out restricted units and when I upp the pp I might end up buying out more units than I should.

<t> Hi guys,<br/>
<br/>
I am mostly lurking since I don't have time to post a lot or play against human players. I am usually playing the allies against ai. My units usually end up all over the place, meaning SoPac units in Port Moresby, SwPac units in the pacific and so on, you get the picture ...

I guess it is a glitch in the AI. Since I found them (north) eastof Peral I was thinking they might be used for refuelling the subs off the west coast but seven AO sounds a bit to many tankers for that purpose

<t> I am playing the grand campaign as allies against AI, it is december 20th, 1941. I just sunk a japanese milk cow fleet a little north east of the french frigate shoals. 7 AO + 2 DD. What were they doing there, right in front of my home base? A day earlier, Midway got bombarded by some cap ships ...

<t> I love them. They rarely seem to sink anything but saved me repeatedly from a load of trouble.<br/>
<br/>
In my game against the AI PT-Boats repelled several attacks against Canton Island without firing a single shot. I just sent them out against the enemy TF and they flee. Last time this ...

Arghhhh! Wrong thread. Wanted to post in the thread on PT_Boats. Sorryguys.

<B><s>[b]</s>Ok I hate these things, you can never hit them with divebombers or TB bombers, or even Battleships. They even as a two ship DD taskforce put torps into the Musashi which led to here downfall on the same turn.<e>[/b]</e></B>
<e ...

<t> So the only way to use the carriers full potential is to add squadrons to a CV. I guess this is kind of historical. AFAIK Marine fighter squadron were sometimes based on carriers. It would have been nice though to find this piece of info somewhere, the manual for instance.<br/>
<br/>
I am kind ...

Have both TFs in the same hex and then click on replenish at sea for the TF you want refueled

How many planes do you have in your relacement pool?

<br/>
I can't check right now but I am pretty sure the number is around zero.<br/>

I understand that my carrier squadrons can't get planes where there are no planes ...
