RE: Why can't this air group be Withdrawn

<t> My first guess is that you don't have enough pilots; I think you'll need 18 total. Get your eight pilots and make the one pilot active then try again.<br/>
<br/>
Also, as Joe suggests, turn off replacements. I'd turn off the 'Upgrade-SBD-5 Dauntless'; not necessarily for this problem, but I ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> Ranger Joe, sick burn dude...<br/>
<br/>
Yeah, PBEM is not happening; I don't play regularly enough to do justice to an opponent. Plus, the PBEM games that I have played (Tiller or AGEOD, even Command and Conquer on a network), I usually get my butt kicked, although I have had some memorable ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> China:<br/>
<br/>
I play 'loud' China as contrasted with 'quiet' China. After the initial scramble around Hong Kong (I stayed) the Chinese stabilized their lines and sorted out their commands, as well as sending the troops that can be bought out to Burma (they saved Pegu and thereby Rangoon ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> Ian, I think I might set the Japanese AI to human control when I deplete the Japanese Manchokuo garrison, then turn it back to AI after that turn. I've tried a 'hotseat' game before, and it was UNSAT. If that works, then the Allies can compete against the Soviets for territory.<br/>

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> Ranger Joe, I was hoping to keep playing after I win. I play as if I'm facing a human opponent for the most part, however I'll 'waste' PPs to slow my game (for example, buying out Dutch units that will never leave Java). Also, my 'house rules' slow the game a little - Canadian militia can't ...

<t> Ian, thank you for commenting. Yes, I'm in June 1942 playing Scenario 1 versus the AI.<br/>
<br/>
LOL we're ahead of ourselves, and I might as well let the cat out of the bag.<br/>

I've never played the Soviets, so in this game my goal is to prolong the game to play the Soviets ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> Good morning! It's another beautiful day here in Alabama, so let's talk about ground units. I'm going to address them as I would during a turn, starting in Alaska and ending up at Cape Town. I do this every turn, and my entire turn process takes about an hour. That, plus the about 15 minutes for ...

<t> Continued...<br/>
<br/>
Once a month I look at 'Ground Withdrawal' to see which unit withdraws that month and replace the commander if advantageous.<br/>

Now the fun starts - I 'Show Combat Reports' and go to important battles or ship battle damage locations or air raid failures and ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> So we'll do land units, however since the topic of 'how do I do a turn' keeps popping up in the forum, we'll review land units as part of describing my process for doing a normal turn. Note that I say 'normal', because the first of the month not only encompasses each of the steps described, but ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> US Air, plus Canada. Oh, and New Zealand.<br/>
<br/>
When I do a turn, I start in Alaska, then make a big loop to Canada, GB / Canada / East Coast, West Coast, Balboa, Pearl, et cetera; ending at Abadan, Aden, and Cape Town. Since US squadrons are almost everywhere, we'll follow that practice ...

<br/>
Let's keep talking about supply. I know that by keeping the Burma Road open and clear that I get 500 supply points. I also run convoys full of supplies to Rangoon, which goes somewhere, hopefully China. I prefer not to manually 'pump' supplies ...

<br/>
I mentioned that I play active China. From Day One, China has been repairing Light Industry and Heavy Industry where needed, starting with Chungking. I also attacked where feasible and captured Canton and ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<r> BBFanboy - I think Urumchi generates enough supply if I stockpile long enough (maybe I should start now <E>:)</E> I think that I must have disbanded them to respawn last game. The Japanese are not going to take Urumchi, deo volente. They haven't taken Paotow.<br/>

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> I'm cheap, er frugal. While I'm on air generalities, air units due to withdraw are 'upgraded' to the oldest types of planes available, and their experienced pilots are transferred to Reserve; the squadron is withdrawn with only active pilots, no reserves. Sometimes the planes and pilots are ...

RE: Flicker's Fabulous Strategy

<t> Joe, after the Jun upgrades, I'll redeploy the US cargo ships and tankers. NORPAC is pretty well supplied, and I have a bunch of tiny islands in SOPAC that could use some stuff.<br/>

Jorge, I created the ACTF using same-class ships because I think that I read somewhere that ACTFs should ...

Good tips about mines, however I mostly don't send subs into unknown ports. Currently, my subs are busy transporting supplies, so I haven't used them ...
