Did you read the game manual, or maybe watch some youtube? <br/>
<br/>
Most probably answer to all of your questions is supply. Spanish fleet is very poor, but your naval units may be out of supply. For land units check out the HQ:s. They ...

<t> Giving this game one more go. Playing as Allies (green -20% AI penalty).<br/>
<br/>
Every time I play as Allies Spain always joins Axis (never does when I play Axis though). This automatically closes the Med and traps your fleet. Spanish ships are uber powerful, a low strength unimproved ...

Jananka, what kind of gaming background are you coming from?
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
On a strategic scale, over the years, I've regularly played games like TAOW III, HoI III, Decisive Campaigns, Ageod's Thirty Years War, Civil War ...

<t> So I reckon its time to wave the white flag and admit that the the game, even at green -20%MMP, is just too much for me.<br/>
<br/>
I'm trying to apply what I've learned and trying to emulate what the AI did but everything is disastrous. I find the combat results to be inexplicable; for ...

Okay thanks.

Next question: Do naval units earn experience for bombardments?

And I mentioned this one before - who thought it was a good idea to put the quit button next to the save button. I've gone and done it again!!

<t> Started up a new game, as the Allies this time.<br/>
<br/>
First question: I can not sail any Allied vessels into the Baltic, not even a submarine. Will I be locked out of the Baltic for the whole game?<br/>
<br/>
Germany just annexed Denmark which may have something to do with it? Although ...

Fighter defense: Fighters will not defend itself, and so if the CAP CV get attacked, it will also not defend itself, for ground aircraft, this is ok, for CVs not so great, but at least WAD.

<r> Well my first full game has ended in terrible defeat. I’ve enjoyed the game immensely and will try again soon as the other side, and hopefully will have learned from my mistakes.<br/>
<br/>
I have some comments to make below. Some are possible bugs I experienced and other comments are about a ...

<t> Thanks guys.<br/>

CARRIERS<br/>
<br/>
I did have a screen in the situation above, but the US navy sank them all or drove them back leaving the carriers exposed. Yes, I had the carrier mode wrong; my bad. I've set it to tactical now, except for the escort carrier which is using full cap ...

<t> My next question: How do you make best use of aircraft carriers in this game? <br/>
<br/>
In the war they were the new power at sea to which even battleships were now becoming inferior, but that is definitely not the case in this game. Carriers don't use aircraft in defence, allowing enemy ...

<r> Regards the yellow/blue hatching I mentioned earlier. Usually its just a few hexes here and three - in this case its one large area full. I still don't understand what this signifies.<br/>

<t> Thanks Xsillione for the Italian explanation. I lost North and East Africa early on. I didn't bother to defend them - mostly as the RN was well placed to threaten my attempts to sail transports across the med. <br/>
<br/>
I had Sicily fully defended though, upgraded corps in both cities and ...

<t> Thanks again for the replies. I have reached September 1943. I am fighting on the outskirts of Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad but definitely feel my advance has run out of steam as morale is dropping. And now the USA has landed in Sicily.<br/>
<br/>
I have two more questions:<br/>
<br/>
1 ...

<t> Thanks for the reply.<br/>
<br/>
In Q2, what I was getting at is that the numbers that appear above the unit as it receives damage doesn't always match the actual strength points it loses.<br/>
<br/>
Further to my mining question: How can I tell that the hex has been mined. I sent a surface ...

<t> I've consulted the game manual to find the answers to a lot of questions but would still like to ask about the following:<br/>
<br/>
1. I have a HQ unit showing a supply value of 5(8), rather than just a single number like other units. What does 5(8) mean?<br/>
<br/>
2. I notice numbers ...

<t> As a newbie who is struggling to compete against the AI, can I ask - as the Axis player, if I don't invade Russia at all and keep the six(?) required garrisons in the east, will Russia stay neutral; or is it scripted to invade Germany at some point if I don't DOW and invade first? In other words ...

However, if they are in Amphibious Transports then you just need to declare war on the relevant country, i.e. the Philippines, and commence your invasion.

<br/>
They're all normal transports. Shame, as I spent ...

<t> You think you've got amphibious invasion problems? I'm a new player in my very first game. I've just spent several turns massing troops on transports ready for a German invasion of UK and Japanese invasion of the Philippines. Its only on launching my invasions I realise you cannot land troops ...

Playing my first game. Axis, green difficulty setting, -20% MPP for the allies. Its May 1941 and France has just surrendered, but things aren't looking so good for my ...

<t> Okay. So I'm trying again. Entente this time, Green, -20% CP MPP. Doing slightly better in the land war, though don't understand how the AI amassed so many corps against me in my CP games as budgeting MPP as the Entenete is harder than playing the CP. I certainly can't afford the number of corps ...
