I, too, am currently playing solo against Japanese AI. For an indicator of how long an isolated ground unit can hold out, you may be interested to know that I have a group of units at Temuloh (Malaya) that have been cut off for the better part of a month, and they're still in good shape. (I haven't ...

More explicitly, the vessel you wanted to select to perform the repair is a floating dry dock and, as Nomad said, can repair only flooding damage.

With your TF in port, all that should be necessary is to set your fighters to an ESCORT mission on their GROUP screen and to select the CAP level you want on the sub-MISSION below. (But be aware that interception is still NOT a guarantee.)

Blue and green sectors indicate search arcs flown in either AM or PM air mission segments. Black sectors are where the 2 overlap (search arcs flown during both AM and PM).

Have you recently changed operating systems? Windows10 is a lot pickier about the older programs it will run.

<t> All WHAT money? <br/> <br/> This isn't the 1980s under President Reagan. It's been 12 years since President Bush left office, and he presided over the prosecution of conflicts with Iraq and Afghanistan rather than force modernization. Typical of Democrats, President Obama was more interested in ...

<t> You say you have next-to-no wargaming experience? Despite the enthusiasm of my fellow forumites, I'd advise caution starting off with WITP:AE. That would be jumping into the deep end of the pool. <br/> <br/> If you like WW2 as a subject and you want to get into wargaming, I think you should look...

<t> While I agree that a certain amount of misspelling should be tolerated (especially from non-native speakers of English), frequent misspellings are VERY DISTRACTING. Misspellings interfere with communication, and that's the point of posting, isn't it? When placenames are misspelled, it implies a ...

<t> I don't believe BASE FORCES in WITP:AE ever had the capacity to supply torpedoes. I think that the section of the manual in question was a holdover from the earlier WITP game, in which such an ability for base forces may have been implemented. (This is not the only instance of the WITP:AE manual...

OP: What difficulty level are you playing at? Perhaps you should consider cranking that up, besides playing Ironman.

<t> I assume you're playing the AI if you encountered a transport TF without naval escort. Don't get too excited-- the AI frequently sends transport TFs places without escort. And don't get jazzed about the torpedo attack results; transports are sitting ducks for torpedo attacks, and these were Comm...

<r> The answer to your first question is that <I><s>[i]</s>War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition<e>[/i]</e></I> covers the whole Pacific Theater, from the US west coast to the east coast of Africa and the Persian Gulf. It is a successor to <I><s>[i]</s>Uncommon Valor<e>[/i]</e></I>, which covers the...

...you can fly at night with a 40 experience pilot without much or even if any penalty.

You mean, besides the fact that there will be a much higher chance of operational losses for such a pilot?

They don't make it too easy to see all that stuff-- it's spread all over the state!

My preference is to keep the BB observation dets in Hawaii, letting them train while their ships are repaired.

This thread is Off Topic (OT), and should be labeled as such.

<r> If you want to get a feel for the interface and to play less time-consuming battles and campaigns, you might also want to consider purchasing <I><s>[i]</s>Uncommon Valor<e>[/i]</e></I>. The scale of UV is a bit smaller and the mechanics are just a bit simpler. (But if you're concerned about the ...

<r> From my first experiences with <I><s>[i]</s>Uncommon Valor<e>[/i]</e></I> (WITP:AE's forebear) to my latest with WITP:AE, I have found the ability of CV TFs to react to other TFs (CV or otherwise) to be problematic. My solution: turn off the ability of CV TFs to react. Set the reaction range to ...

Against the AI, I don't think there's a need to evacuate Chinese troops to India. I've started a few games solo and played a ways into them, and the AI doesn't seem to be able to make significant inroads against my dispositions. (I always play with AI Difficulty on HARD.)

I have a stupid question: Why is this of interest NOW? The article is dated a year ago.
