<r> Just a couple of quick questions...<br/>
<br/>
(i) Can a device upgrade two steps at once?<br/>
(ii) The allied convoys that arrive full of LCU devices (eg. <I><s>[i]</s>WS.14/OS. 14<e>[/i]</e></I> ) simply add those devices to the pool when they withdraw/disband?<br/>
(iii) Do infantry type ...

<r> Thanks for the replies and I'm sorry if I wasn't clear...<br/>
<br/>
The clarification I'm looking for is this:-<br/>
<br/>
The Momi DD class has an upgrade path that I can see as follows:<br/>
<br/>
DD Momi > DD Momi(9/42) > E Momi(4/43) > E Momi(9/44), all at 32 kts, or<br/>
DD Momi can ...

<t> I am trying to understand the upgrade/conversion paths for the starting, old IJN destroyers (ie Momo, Minekaze etc. classes). There seems to be two distinct E sub-classes. Does it follow the pattern:<br/>
<br/>
DD uprades to E <br/>
DD converts to APD converts to E*<br/>
<br/>
With E and E ...

HEIL HITLER.

Is this a ref. to one of the tricks that ULTRA used when breaking enigma? (That the Germasns often signed off using this tag.)

There was once a happy time when I didn't know who "Twilight Sparkle" is. [8|]

I've just found this. So beautiful - thanks for all the hard work. JJ.

Thanks for all that. Just one more question - Does the pointy end go at the front or back? [&:]

Thank you very much - I'm here all week, tell your friends - Enjoy the buffet.

The photo didn't come up - USS Eldridge is of Philadelphia Experiment fame - so a little joke.

Even as I write, my toys are leaving the pram. [:D]

HMS Royal Sovereign in Soviet service as Arkhangelsk .

USS Eldridge (DE-173)

You'll find it in here I think.

<r> Thanks for the reply.<br/>
<br/>
I think the problem here stems from wargaming a <I><s>[i]</s>Case<e>[/i]</e></I> that was never really a starter. It requires rational military decisions from a High Command that had no confidence in the plan - and at the highest level was irrational and ...

<t> Maybe. But I'd say three things:<br/>
<br/>
(i)The Germans conducted terror raids during the Polish and Western campaigns despite it being a distraction from more useful missions.<br/>
<br/>
(ii)The assessment of their utility is made with hindsight. In 1940 it would not have been ...

<t> Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm just being conservative as I have warnings about over-expansion ringing in my ears and I don't want to get to mid '43 (after hundreds of hours of playing!) and find everything falls apart because of a mistake made during the first week.<br/>
Therefore I was ...

<t> Thanks for the replies. This is just what I was looking for.<br/>

@Chickenboy: Whilst I'm only starting to grasp the complexities of playing Japan it almost seems that I have more R&D factories than I can use, or rather expand. With approx 76x R&D factories surely it is too expensive to ...

<t> Are 2x 15(0) R&D factories equal to 1x 30(0) in the production of R&D points?<br/>
<br/>
I understand 30(0)are as big as you want to go but I can see advantages to using smaller factories:<br/>
(i)Two chances to repair a turn.<br/>
(ii) Will generate R&D points as soon as one factory is ...

<t> Is the maximum research points/month per factory or per a/c type?<br/>
I understand that a 60(0) factory is no better than a 30(0) one but are 2x 30(0) R&D factories twice as good as 1x (30)0 factory? Or should I spread the R&D over many factories so that they are able to repair faster?<br ...

<t> Hi, I am giving thought to ASW protection for my convoys. I'm thinking of using AVs (a/c cap 9) as close in protection. So my question is: how best to organise this?<br/>
<br/>
ie. (i)Have the AV within the convoy, or as part of a separate TF?<br/>
(ii)The range, and arcs for the a/c. Will ...
