I'm learning where Dr. Seuss got some of his ideas.

I've had a group of civilians holding out in a remote part of Mindanao for over two weeks (this is LST's bottleneck mod). My opponent has just landed his third unit to force them out and they're still there. It must be driving him crazy, but he's been sporting enough not to say anything rude.

<t> This is really more of an abstracted computer model/simulation of the war as opposed to a sandbox “game” experience. It makes a strong attempt to offer the player the real limitations faced by the leaders of the time, but still allows for bold experimentation within that framework such as ...

Not much happened this turn, though subs were extremely active for both sides. There were landings at Mauban and at Ocean Island, the latter of which fell to the 51st Naval Gd.<br/>

Wake stood fast, but he landed a second unit (a ...

Ya gotta keep the Japanese honest in the expansion phase. Making them feel like they have to escort everything slows them down. The slower they are the less they expand. <br/>

I just tried to do the same thing at Kuching with a fully-intact Force Z and all I got ...

Watching with interest. I won't talk much in here because I'm playing my own game using this mod as the allies, and I'm following your opponent as well.

Thanks for putting this out here. There's not a ton of AARs from the red team for this scenario.

Impressive. The research necessary for this type of build intimidates a lot of people.

Ran the replay and, uh, it was weird. Nothing happened. That's a quirk of this mod - all of the historical day one combat and damage is baked in because it's actually a Sunday night ...

In Mundy's AAR he discovered that civilians can have an outsized effect on combat. I think you nerfed it subsequently, but it occurred to me that another solution would be starting them all in Strat mode, if that's possible.

Blunder into a minefield is one I recall.

Oof

AFAIK, LI needs 15 resources to make one point of supply in the stock game, not the 10 resources for one supply you are showing for the mod. Are you saying there is a place to change that in the editor? I always thought it was hard wired in ...

Looks like the consensus so far is to just fly high - it's not worth it to do otherwise.

Thanks.

<r> We went through a few days of tweaking pwhexe.dat files until we were both playing with the same deck of cards. The time change between us didn't help any. Hint for anyone starting a game - LST recently updated the install files, so make sure you're working off of the newest pwhexe and not the ...

What altitude is best for recon without cameras (or with for that matter)? As high as possible to avoid AA?

Phrased better, does flying lower generate a greater increase in detection levels?

<r> A few things are different in this mod. First, ONLY the LI facilities generate supply. Also, the repair costs of industry are changed as follows: 5k supply per shipyard point, 3k per repair shipyard point, 2k per HI/Oil/Refinery point, and 500 per LI/Resource point. All of the industrial inputs ...
