<r> this is my first turn.<br/>
<br/>
only ran some recon and some airfield bombing missions. all airfield bombing missions were on day 1 only<br/>
<br/>
destroyed a bunch more aircraft on the ground when i overran the airfields (i believe the damaged aircraft from the day 1 bombing runs get ...

<r> i dunno how this is happening, but its the 2nd time so far this game (vs the AI)<br/>

Actually all units, even armour, can enter mountain hexes. But for most unit types you have to start your turn adjacent to the mountain hex and moving in will cost all your MPs.

There is no totally reliable way to know the odds before combat. But there are a few rules of thumb. The obvious is that you compare your total Attacking CVs to the displayed enemy CV. But be aware that the displayed enemy CV is just a ...

If you are liking WITE, you'll like WITW.

I agree. WITW is very much like WITE except, in my opinion, better logistics system and better air game.

<t> I wouldn't worry about early turn VP counts. it takes several turns to build up your strat bombing points because it starts out with very little damage. and your city VPs will be very low as well, compared to casualties in taking Messina. that's normal. once you start taking mainland Italy ...

invade the mainland part of Italy. there is a percentage chance each turn that you have units on Italy proper. I don't think it can happen until after a certain date ( maybe turn 8 )

What I seem to be noticing from this fun little experiment is that:<br/>
<br/>
1) Experience and Morale is very important. Maybe even more important then the actual plane flying.<br/>
<br/>
2) Altitude is important. It ...

nice testing harry and LS!

it does bring up a question for me however. I rarely change the priority. is there an advantage to doing so? (I mean, beyond the exploit that was found and will be fixed)

its gonna be tough for the axis to interdict large areas because with lack of planes it will be so dispersed. you'll want to concentrate your interdiction so that the interdict levels are 2+, so you will need to choose the times and places for this to be the most useful

<t> so if he wanted to be sure of intercept, he may have to run multiple AS missions with varying altitudes? 5k to cover from floor to 10k, and 15k to cover from 10k to 20k, and 25k to cover 20 to 30?<br/>
<br/>
that seems excessive.<br/>
<br/>
I could understand if the alt changes the ...

<t> are the ports damaged? if their damage level is 100% you wont be getting supply in through them even if your naval interdiction level is excellent. put your naval task forces into the level 1 and level 2 ports to insta-repair them. level 3 and above ports you need to assign priority repairs<br ...

there is a ferry mission, and I believe you would need to choose that to interdict the ferry zones

I recall reading here if you bomb them in '43 you won't get VP's,but they will count in '44?You can destroy them earlier and get the points after?

yes, start going after them mid-December. that way some ...

unfortunately there is no exhaust port weak point for you to send a torpedo thru

congrats liquidsky. i'll admit I expected Seminole to win, but he appears to have had other things on his mind which may or may not have contributed to his defeat

I actually like strat bombing on rainy weeks (not stormy weeks though)
