Hi,

I recently moved the 2nd PA Constabulary Divn into Laoag as the Japanese weren't coming into the mountains to fight me & had no troops there. I captured the town with 0 supply and The 2 PA Divn had 0 supply (presumably using the bayonet), but then I became target practice for the Japanese who ...

When the xAP is bigger than the island.

Exactly. I don't have a need to be super organised with shipping since escorts are a real bottleneck. Some xAKs/xAPs/TKs will be idle because no suitable escorts are available.

Tracker release info is here

Yes.

In fact, you don't need to make a cruise. Just create a shakedown TF (empty ships without any load) and park it in some port hex undocked. For extra protection, I like to park such TFs en masse in San Francisco Bay and Adelaide Bay.

HOWEVER, at game's start, they code will create some ...

As RangerJoe said, you can use Tracker.

With time, you will develop routines and better hunches,

Take Abadan for example. You dump most of your British TKs there. You just need to haul fuel from Abadan to India. Drop fuel at Bombay and Karachi , and it will be distributed by the code in India ...

In the leaders list, you see the in-game recommendations. They follow a pattern:

Unfortunately with all the Japanese battleship task forces steaming around there is no way I am going to be able to reinforce/resupply Port Moresby. It's January 25, 1942 and there are many Japanese task forces heading towards Port Moresby and I really don't have much naval presence in the area ...

Are you planning to black-box ground combat routines or explain them in the manual?

I have a dim recollection that combat LCUs with 0 AV also act wonky when entering enemy-held hexes.

I had some small Chinese corps which had all AV-giving devices disabled and only some active support devices, and when you set them to move towards and enemy held hex, sometimes along the road, the ...

So that's why Pete Hegseth recalled the generals. The Pentagon has a working demo of the game.

Sorry, why is there "(Direct)" flag on some of th units? I have never paid attention to this.

Previous versions of the game ran normally on WinXp.

Re Sian road.

Are all your LCUs there following the HQ unit?
HQs in stock scenarios have 0 AV. Maybe this resets the stack movement prior to entering an enemy held hex?
I would make all units follow the biggest (in AV terms) LCU.

The question we all should be asking is how the Hudsons can spot the xAK in Overcast weather from 15k feet.
There should be no interception and no bombing run, but the game doesn't provide for such outcomes.

Taxcutter, here are my switches for an i3 Win11 laptop with a 15.4in monitor. Game works flawlessly.

I would like to play a grand campaign against an AI that offers me a bit of a challenge with the last patch. Which scenario should I choose? Or which mod should I download?

Thx for anwers


AI (Japanese and Allied) is just a bunch of scripts, no match for a human player. Now, it depends what ...

No.

In Adelaide, Kull tells you to create four different TFs, which, for purposes of his spreadsheet, are numbered TF 1, TF 2,TF 3 and TF 4. Just add specific ships to specific TFs as per the Kull's instructions.

Never used the spreadsheet, sorry.

If you read the Kull's first post here

the spreadsheet was created in 2009 and updated in 2017 for Scenarios 1 and 2.

Since 2019, those two scenarios were updated by AndyMac, and the updated ...
