Oh thanks. I feel really stupid because I had opened up the SHQ early on in the session to check %s going to units and what not.

Super useful and kinda weird they have it turned off by default. The micro-ing of what to send and not is *waggles hand*. But this *is* Shadow Empire I guess.

Heyo all, first thread post by me here.

I am playing on oceania, latest beta 1.25E on a gaia world.

I have several different islands I'm established on and for the life of me can't quite figure out ocean logistics. I've got ports on all 3 islands. I've got shipping contracts.

Island A has a ...

Holy cow, 2000 zeroes (of various makes) in the pool and a decent pool of Frank and George. No wonder the IJNAF never seems to run out, I'm a stock Allied player so seeing those numbers would make me despair.

They will make nice trophies

It'll be Kaga and Akagi getting the canned sunshine treatment instead of Sister Sara in this timeline I guess.

Possibly in his mind its a not so conscious decision. <br/>

He thinks in his head, 'I have to defend my industry at all costs, because Dan is coming for it.' Then you slap him with 50+ bombers against ...

Well the Taiyo class was pretty tiny. You might have just gotten her.

Did you confirm the loss of Unyo by looking at the ground losses for IJNAF planes?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>It's rough trying to defend against 45 plane squadrons.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Preach it. The Tigers are about the only early war squadrons that can stand up to sweeps, and that's only because you have so many of them and they have great xp and skills, you can rotate ...

<r> Wow. Nice Shiden Kai 4 there. They look nasty to face, especially since the USN didn't really go all in with cannon armed birds.<br/>
<br/>
That'd be something wouldn't it, seeing the F6F-5N starting Apr 44 <E>:P</E> Or the F4U-1C with its 4 Hispanos.<br/>
<br/>
Anyways, nice work in the ...

<r> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
First thread here, I've been playing a Scen 2 AI game and while its only mid march, I was curious if the AI gets a further unload bonus besides the typical invasion bonus.<br/>
<br/>
At this point in the game, I'm sending a bunch of engineers and infantry to build up Akyab ...

<r> The great reason why she took that torp from the S-boat instead of a fleet boat or a brit/dutch boat. S boats have 18" torps, as opposed to the bigger ones. Fleet boats have 21" torps as do most other subs.<br/>

This is the really weird one though. If anyone can explain how the defenders of Bataan have managed to hold out for 2 of these attacks, I'd be very interested. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Bataan is x3 terrain if I remember right. Manila is as well. The IJA needs to ...

Have you sent an extra corps or 2 down to wenchow? (the coastal city in china) I find making the IJA use the big guns or allocating more divisions here a good thing (tm) seeing as it'll take him longer to take the base and spend more assets doing it.

Promote those merchant gunners to the surface fleet.

You say that but their experience climbs ridiculously fast if they survive an encounter with a sub that has them trading gun fire.

<t> Having any sort of fighter cover over force Z is...pretty doable, tbh. Indomitable misses her date with the rock and suddenly there's a lot more of a chance to get the ship to Singers. Have her show up with some SYS and ENG damage from running the ship hard, low on fuel or something, if you want ...

<t> Whew 4 triple 8" turrets along with murderous 10cm DP secondary battery.<br/>
<br/>
Does the USN get Montanas to compensate for these? [:P] <br/>
<br/>
(I play World of Warships, and that's the top Cruiser for the Japanese line, the Zao. The USN line tops out at the Des Moines, auto loaded 8 ...

<r> Honestly, an obsolete CL and DD for a modern IJN CA? <br/>
<br/>
Pretty good trade, imo. Danae is a 'D' Class cruiser, 1920s vintage and DD Sands is about the same. He only gets the heavy cruisers he starts with; with I <I><s>[i]</s>think<e>[/i]</e></I> one more in the pipe (Ibuki), at least ...

<t> Chinese units have a lot of raw AV, but their lack of armored units and AT weapons mean that if they encounter even stuff as light as the IJA armored cars, they're up the creek with no paddle. Getting them dug into x3 terrain, or any urban terrain means the IJA has to bring divisions or tanks to ...
