That is how it works, open up scen 1 and try ground bombing ankang. You will see that some other chinese city or LCU will be targeted instead during the replay and that the orders of the unit will swap to commander discretion. Not sure where you got mission type swapping or secondary targets from ...

Did the city you bombed actually have any units in it? I believe that ground bombing an empty hex might swap the targeting to commander discretion.

It does check the engineering value plus a base flat value versus the industry and facilities (port,airfield level) and then based on that a percentage of every industry gets disabled

Deliberate or shock attack has no (direct) effect on the result. The only thing that matters is how many engineers, or more precicely how much engineering power (since engineer vehicles count as 5) the defender has and the exp of the units that house these devices. From there there are three ...

For the record this is with my opponents consent . We wanted to fix the broken radar upgrade path for japan and make usn subs switch over to the mk12 after the mk10 stops producing. I gather that I am SOL then because it is an official scenario, oh well.

Well then I wouldn't be able to update the PBEM . I have seen references to it being possible and the ingame blurb "Add database changes to this official campaign?" indicates that there is some way to do so.

I want to change some device specifics in the editor, mostly to mirror the updated andy scenarios. I copied scen1, made the changes then replaced all the 001 scen files with those of the new scenario and every time I try to update I get the prompt "Failed to update". Is this some kind of lock on ...

No definitive list exists except for this thread for stock witp (which is undoubtedly out of date) and can give you can an idea for the general philosophy that later changes in AE possibly followed https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 04#p741104

I am looking for a Nimitz to my Yamamoto. One turn per day, possibly more on some days. I am in gmt+2 timezone and have 2 pbems games under my belt as allies and japan that sadly both ended in early 42 due to opponents having SCLS :P .

PDU on, standard house rules:
Turn1
1. No tf creation or ...

Would it be possible to add some font size customization (beyond the altfont switch) and maybe even UI scaling?

On modern resolutions and big monitors info screens and hover information are quite tiny.

<t> Take this with a grain of salt, as I am not sure myself, but I believe that the star denotes the fact that the airgroup can be withdrawn on its removal date,<br/>
while no star means it must be disbanded. Note that from what I have seen you can still withdraw the no star groups if their removal ...

<t> Sorry for the confusion, by industry I meant everything, including aircraft factories, engine factories and shipyards.<br/>
The numbers I see per industry are the following:<br/>
LI=240<br/>
HI=528<br/>
Aircraft Factories=954<br/>
Refinery=294<br/>
Repair Shipyards=112<br/>
Shipyards=280 ...

<t> Having done a rought calculation of the expansion that I can see through the fog of war, my opponent has expanded 3242 points of industry of every kind and it is still december 41. Even taking the error into account, could this be sustainable in any way in scenario 6 (which I presume has the ...

So in my PBEM I happened to hover over the Japanese home islands bases and saw some very impressive industry expansion numbers. How accurate are those considering I have zero detection on said bases?

You cannot target manually with naval attack, the game chooses the target by itself based on detection of taskforces in range.

Well if that was the case I probably wouldn't continue the game at all. Opening the save would feel like desecrating the man's tomb [:-]

<t> Welp I guess im out of luck then, not unexpected but it was worth a try [:D]. The third party system for passwords sounds interesting,<br/>
and it would avert situations such as these, if anyone was willing to manage it. Although I would like to think that for most PBEM's <br/>
this wouldn't ...

<t> So roughly 1 and a half months into my first pbem my opponent stopped responding and I haven't gotten a turn or a message in over 2 weeks. My question is if there is any way to retrieve the game password in order to continue with someone else as I have poured quite alot of time in this wonderful ...

<r> This may be relevant to your problem, although your resolution might be too high <URL url="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4637477&mpage=1&#4906229"><LINK_TEXT text="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.a ... 1&#4906229">https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4637477&mpage=1 ...

So you could dump it in hong kong for example and it would flow all the way up to beijing/port arthur/korea?
