<t> Playing against AI. So far I have successfully blockaded the islands on three sides. Any ships attempting to leave are sunk or damaged and forced to retreat. Guessing still getting oil from occupied china and korea side. Have taken back most of china and starting to work on korea peninsula.<br ...

Crap, I'm at 12,112. Looooooooong way to go.

May 1944 playing allies. Japan is losing 25-50 planes a day due to my cap, airfield attacks, bombardments, Kamikazes, etc. Was wondering is there any way to tell how many planes they have and what their production rate is? Curious if I am gaining ground.

Sorry I should have mentioned they are inland ground battles.

<t> I have a couple of skirmishes going on in China that badly need reinforced but I am not able to move anymore troops into the hex. Screen message says moving to but in the detailed unit screen the hex id being moved to does not show up. I can move all around them just not into the hex. Anybody ...

I thought I read somewhere on the forum it was not a good idea to stack CV's in a single TF, better to spread them out say 1 CV to a task force.
This good advice as I'm gearing up for some massive attacks and need all the advantage I can get. Playing Allies BTW.

I have squadron of plans on my CV that have 0 in service, 0 being repaired. I can't disband, withdraw or transfer. It is taking up deck space not allowing me to load more planes. Anybody helP?

Is there a way to tell what the defenders supply status is?

What can be done with battle weary fragmented land units? Can they be merged into other units?

Is KB still afloat and active? If so you are asking to get your teeth kicked in. It IS possible to mount some counterstrikes this early, but only when you know KB isn't around, and the Japs are weak on the target. How is your scouting?

As a general rule, the Allies can only rarely engage in contested invasions in the first half of 1942. Patience is a virtue and also a historical reality. So get ...

Started doing some of this. Would like to expand out with US TF carriers and Surface combat TF's. Can these be rearmed and sorties rearmed from all allied bases?

In the lower right of the unit information screen there is a "Prep for" button. It should be set to the target destination and will gain 1% per day - so it takes 100 days of training for that unit to be 100% prepped for the target. <br ...

First off, no matter what year in the game it is you will want two to three times as many ships as are necessary to carry the number of troops desired. This will guarantee that they will all be unloaded in the first day so that your ...

April 1942.

I am playing allied campaign and not having a lot of luck taking back islands in the south pacific. What units are needed for the ideal attack amphibious tf? What are the minimums needed to have a successful mission?

May '43 will see the arrival of the Hellcat. That takes the pressure off your Wildcat groups and should help out with your present situation.
