Re: I know the How but don't know the Why - re: Scenario


First step in any campaign in this game is to establish air superiority. You get your fighters on CAP and entice him to send bombers escorted by fighters. CAP fighters have advantage over fighters that must stick close to the bombers they are escorting. The enemy could send fighters on sweep ...

Re: I know the How but don't know the Why - re: Scenario

Cool, thanks. It is hard to tell what is an expected outcome versus not doing something correctly. That is ultimately the same issue I have with the invasion and the bombers. Is it supposed to take a week to unload those troops over shore/under fire or was I doing something wrong? Are the losses I ...

Re: Windows 11 Full Screen woes - help

Looks like some of the issues come from the 27b update. I installed another copy as 26b and don't really have the problems. I'm sure people will chime in that they use 27b without issue but it's all apples and oranges. I'm using Windows 11 and might have a different update than those that 'do not ...

I know the How but don't know the Why - re: Scenario

The Thousand Mile War scenario (updated) as Allies. v26b

So I'm given some fighters, medium/heavy LBs, float patrols etc. Some additional ships and LCUs arrive later.

Ideally, I would want to bomb Attu/Kiska airfields, troops, etc. I've played around with lots of ways of doing this and sustain ...

Re: Windows 11 Full Screen woes - help


When running in Windowed mode, move the Windows Taskbar to the right side of the screen to interfere with the game as little as possible (few clicks at the right edge of the map). I have to move my map a few millimeters to the left to get the off-map bases out from the task bar, but otherwise it ...

Private economy will build a mine for example the very first turn you discover a deposit. That means you are not given any chance to build on it yourself. This is either a bug or intentional design. I do not like not being given the chance to ...

Suggestion: Add a report for construction completed or add this information to an existing report.

I have to think this is somewhat quick (comparatively speaking) and easy to add. It is quite the nuisance to have to figure this out by other means. It is very useful to know the turn something has finished building.
