Re: Allied China supply - December 1941

You know that supply gravitates to the largest port so Wenchow draws it in. It will share every turn with units in the field but not with other bases until their turn in the weekly supply cycle. IIRC Chuhsien is an AF 1 at game start so it would only get supply once per week?
The other thing that ...

Re: UNIT DISPERSES!!

Isn't there a die roll to determine how much of the TOE the unit returns with? You may have got a very bad one if that is true.
First place I would look is the Intel report on LCU reinforcements. They could be in the queue.

Re: Japanese Surrender

Thanks BR. I got the VP ratios backwards so 4:1 is the 1943 one and the 1945 one must be 2:1.

Re: Japanese Surrender

The game doesn't have a "Surrender" per se. It just brings up a screen saying "Major Allied Victory or Minor Allied Victory" if the Allies win or substitute Japanese for Allied if the IJ forces win. I forget the victory conditions but its something like 2:1 victory points in 1943, 3:1 in 1944 or 4:1 ...

Re: This is the ultimate WW2 game by far !

In my mind, Grigsby is the Architect of the game's design, but the hard work was done by the programmers who translated the design into programming elements. Their names are found in the Credits (C button, upper right of game screen). Bearing in mind that leading up to the game's release in 2009 the ...

Re: Oil Repair

Don't know about Medan and Palembang, but Miri starts with 150 repaired wells and has 150 'damaged' (under development) wells. That's in 1126a version and no damage from enemy action. Same numbers for the refinery but as you mentioned, there is no need to repair the 150 under development refinery ...

Hi JWilkerson. I have no map art skills but I think some of the people using the Modding section of this forum might be able to help.

Re: Pilot Replacement Option not showing


Alright, thanks!

...and why is there no option to get new pilots?

The unit already has enough pilots - in fact too many. A US air unit of 25 fighters would normally be limited to 8 extra pilots. You have 18. They can all be made active but the low skill ones will dilute your unit ability until ...

Re: TOE upgrade

Are you sure it has to be a Command HQ in range X2? I thought other HQs could affect this as well - e.g. an Army HQ at Etorofu would be 5 hexes from Shimushiri Jima and within range.

Re: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd

Yeah, when I encounter IJA RF Gun units I try to bring in artillery (at least 105 caliber) and low ground strikes from fighter bombers and attack bombers. Until then my tanks wait using terrain and camouflage to reduce their attrition.

So the AI jury is still out on this one! I would have thought AI could find a sketch 'exploded' drawing of the parts of Japanese seaplanes and landing craft (barges). The cylinder at the bottom appears to be a rotating part while the hook attached to it looks like a heavier version of the locking ...

The top picture looks very much like a locking mechanism. like for a ramp on a landing craft. I don't think a Mavis or Emily would need landing gear that heavy.

Re: Ship Refits


If you want to turn the Wickes DDs into APDs, you have to do the February 1942 refit before doing any other refits. If any other refit is done, then they can't be converted into APDs.

Wait until the ships are at a decent and safe port while also needing repairs, at least for the CAs, CLs, and DDs ...

Re: Ship Refits


Find combat ships with earliest refit dates and park them in shakedown TFs in a port. Good example are several USN DDs in PH which refit in 1/1942. Group them in one shakedown TF in PH hex and refit them en masse in PH once 1/1942 starts.

IIRC that refit gives them radar but no improvement in ...
