Thanks to all for your contributions on this subject. It bothers me when any of my naval assets are sunk (that's war), but when an AP is hit with troops on board, I am mortified. In the future, I will apply your tips.

<t> Is it possible? I am playing a PBEM game, Full Campaign (Scenario One)as the Allies. One of my APs suffered an air attack and has a DD for escort. Is there any way to offload the remaining troops? If my flawed memory is correct, I seem to remember that there is something about this subject in ...

Whatever happened to the picture of the pretty girl with which you used to sign in?

<t> I agree with Bullwinkle58. If a player wants to try out new tactics or strategy in AE, so be it. There will always be an appropriate response to another's creative imagination. Remember, all is fair in love and war. My friend and I are playing a PBEM of the Full Campaign game. No HRs. He has the ...

<t> USS America, thanks much. Here's what brainless, that's me, was doing: I would form an xAK TF, dock it in San Diego, and then click on the air unit (Vindicators) and click on the "transfer to docked ship" button and got nothing but the Saratoga, which is anchored in San Diego, but loaded to the ...

Thanks oldman 45, but I was able to change from Westcoast (R) to Pacific Fleet and I am still not able to transfer. Note: "Westcoast (R)" was highlighted, not grey or white. When I clicked on it I got a series of HQ options. It cost me 36 PP.

<t> I am playing a PBEM of the Full Campaign as the Allies. It is December 14, 1941. I have an air unit, VMSB-131 consisting of 18 SB2U-3 Vindicators at San Diego. This unit has 24(2) pilots with an avg. experience of 51, morale is 87 and no fatigue. I want to send this unit to PH and probably onto ...

Thanks, to you Blackhorse, Houtje and HansBolter for your tips. Knowing all the ins/outs of HQ rules and pp costs certainly widens my planning horizon. Good luck in your AE endeavors.

<t> Wally, you are absolutely right and thanks for your imput. Actually, I found the explanation in the manual (which I failed to find beforehand) and Australian Command (R) forbids sea transport or air transport of ground units. Sorry I was not more diligent in looking over the manual before asking ...

Nikademus and crsutton, thanks much for your comments.

<t> I am in the sixth day of a PBEM game of Scenario 1 (The Full Campaign). Whenever I try to load an Australian ground unit to a transport TF in Australian ports (e.g. Sidney, Newcastle, Portland, etc.) the window pops up with no ground unit choices. All of the units that I had planned to embark ...

<t> I think you have some good questions. Apropos Allied Production, the manual p. 225 states: "When the Production System is on, the Allies are allowed certain on-map production of aircraft, supplies, and fuel along with having repair shipyards, but since most Allied material was going to Europe ...

Originally, they were intended to be paperweights [:)] Later, they were found suitable to be training ships (according to a Japanese Warships of World War II handbook in my possession). Hope this helps, somewhat.

Alfred, thanks for your comments.

OK, let's chalk up the reason to Tradition and I'll get back to the game and begin revamping my carrier tactics apropos raids on Japanese land/island bases. Thanks to those who contributed remarks.

<r> I've been reflecting a bit, Alfred, but you did not really answer my question. I wanted to know the <B><s>[b]</s>reason<e>[/b]</e></B> that kept carrier operations against land bases to only one attack per day in AE. We know from the history of WWII, that carrier air groups attacked enemy bases ...

Thanks Alfred, I suppose that is in the manual and I must have overlooked it. Too bad, though, I think I would have put Kwajalein out the war for a little while if I had been allowed an afternoon attack. Best wishes.

<t> Preparing for an upcoming PBEM game playing Scenario One against the AI, I noticed something very peculiar -- at least to me. I noticed that carrier air operations with missions to bomb island airbases and ports only attack once in a day, while squadrons assigned naval attack are allowed two ...

So, I can assume that in a PBEM game, whatever level of difficulty is set, there is no affect on the human player.
