Interesting and first time I've heard this.

Practically, if your trying yo do that in game the war would probably have ended before you could build them. As some one pointed out only fully repair research fatories generate research points.

Re: scen 1 vs scen 2 as Japan


Just in logistics, you get larger stockpiles of fuel and supplies at the beginning of the scenario, particularly at Truk, Kwajalein, Saigon, Takao, and other key locations. In terms of sea-power, you get more destroyers early (4 more at-start), plus more in the queue. About 6-8 extra in 1942, and ...

Re: R/D


If I remember this correctly. You can get more than 1 research point after size 30 but it is not automatic, there is no engine bonus after size 30 either, instead of a 1/30 chance like you get for the first 30 size it is more like a 1/255 chance so it is not worth trying for since the factory ...

Re: Installed recent Beta version and game is sad

you can always restore the shorcut and use -f to force it back to fullscreen but if you want to undo the beta you can do the following :
- In the install directory there is a SAVE directory. Make a backup (Copy the directory and save it somewhere else)
- Uninstall the game via the windows uninstall ...

Re: Mersing (Gambit) Gamey?

some things that fall into the gamey category :
- Facing an unsuspecting opponent -> Invading the Seattle region -> conquering some base for 1 day with a small unit -> getting 10.000's of victory points and the permanent destruction of between 50-100 CVE's
- Mass invading China along a river with ...

Except that with the process explained in "Logistics 101" by Alfred, those supplies that were used will (if available) be replenished before the 4 weeks are finished.

Re: Maebashi

Rangerjoe is right of course. It is indeed supply usage and not drainage. That much I understand, every factory point repaired costs 1.000 supply.
Some of the mechanisms suggested for keeping up the supply are working as well.

In the end there is a difference between expectation and reality ...

Re: Maebashi


How does one get supply to accumulate in Maebashi? Turning on the stockpile option doesn't seem to have any effect. Having 50k supply adjacent in Tokyo doesn't seem to matter either. Are the aircraft factories there producing anything?

Re: Land based torpedo supply

I remember a post a while back in which it is mentioned that there were BF's that were able to stock Torpedo's. \
That ability was however removed in the interest of game balance. This happened a long time ago. Maybe 10 years ago. The manual is very outdated in some regards.

The reason the Slitherine forum is so much more legible than the new Matrix forum - both at 11px size, is that the Slitherine forum is using a font designed to be viewed at a small size - Verdana.
