RE: Trying Out Japan

Another question--

what's the proper way to clear out mines in a hostile hex? Is it even possible? I've lost lots of ships to coastal guns in mined hexes. Send in the sweepers--the coastal guns sink 'em. Send in the big guns to suppress the coastal guns--the mines sink 'em.

RE: Trying Out Japan

<t> I think it's the rested units. I typically roll in with inf, arm, art, and hit with bombers as well. I try to attack from multiple sides when I can, though when they retreat, that becomes difficult, particularly in Malaya.<br/>

I'm not preparing for the targets, either. The big ones ...

RE: Trying Out Japan

<t> March 30, and Singapore is on its last legs. Manila fell, but Clark Field is still kicking (and pretty hard, at that).<br/>
<br/>
So, what am I not considering, with regards to how to capture these more quickly? It doesn't seem to be a troop strength issue--I've got pretty strong troops and AV ...

RE: Trying Out Japan

Hi Roger,

If you click the "Util" menu item, it allows you to reset to the turn you want. I hadn't considered making it smart enough to know what turn you were on. I suppose I could consider that in the future.

<t> This is an app I wrote to keep track of the things I want to do in game. It's a "checklist," of sorts. I'm putting it here, because I can't attach it to the AAR forum, where someone requested it.<br/>

RE: Trying Out Japan

OK, so aside from the VP loss, for bases I have really no interest in at all, there's no need to garrison. That's what I'm hearing. And, a deficient garrison is better than no garrison.

Seems Japan doesn't have the manpower to control the world.... ;)

<t> Questions on garrisoning towns.<br/>
<br/>
Is there a benefit to garrisoning every town I come upon? Or, should I be selective--garrison the ones at key transport points, or that hold resources/factories, etc?<br/>

Any chance of trying that out, I hate using paper to keep a record of stuff to do?

This is the AAR for my play through as the Japanese. I have not completed a play through for either side in the past. I've only played as the Allies to about March of '42. This should be an interesting experience.<br/>
