RE: Newbie question : how to mine

Why thank you!
Li'l problem : the mentioned option is just "Do not unload" and it's not active. No "Lay mines" buttons whatsoever. It's some fault in the program for which I need a patch? Or what?
Thank you, by the way!

RE: Japanese AI Strategy

<t> I realize it's historical the Japanese conquest of Burma, but I doubt they put so many troops there. India was dreamed by the Army's generals as the greatest conquest feasible, but it was never undertook seriously, because even the hotshots had to admit they couldn't spare the lots of troops ...

Historically, Hermes was used to provide air cover for a battleship SAG. As long as the SAG wasn't taking on a CVTF, having a slow carrier in support guaranteed air superiority during day surface actions and was worth a 2-3x combat power ...

Newbie question : how to mine

<t> Yes, you guessed it right. I didn't read very well the manual and went to play with enthusiasm but little preparation. And one thing I didn't find out reading the AARs here was how to use the minelayers.<br/>
Could you please tell me how the heck can I put them to work and mine something? I ...

RE: Japanese AI Strategy

<t> I couldn't help but notice this thread.<br/>
If the AI is often following historical targets, then I must have got one of the rare times in which it doesn't. The one I'm currently playing it's my very first game as Allied commander, and I was quite surprised to see the AI making a major ...

<t> Well, if you feel you've missed something important, try leaving your Flying Tigers at Mandalay just before twenty thousands soldiers conquer it, and just when all your Burmese defence is crumbling!&nbsp;[:D]<br/>
