How to transfer WITP games to a new PC

<t> Hi folks,<br/>
<br/>
I got a new PC and would like to move over my WITP saves. I assume I should be able to do a new install and copy over my save folder with all the reports, and then directly copy Tracker with its DB and reinstall Reporter… but I don’t want to miss anything and corrupt some ...

RE: Another noob AAR vs JAP AI

<r> I'm still in the very early days of my game versus the AI, but I really appreciate some of the points you've made here... I've taken to heart your notes on setting up convoys, as I realize that if I have recurring orders, I can speed through turns faster, and get to the juicy stuff. A lot of my ...

I'm definitely starting to feel the pinch on ENG and AA, as I can tell I will need them in certain theatres where they will be challenging to deliver (i.e. all those islands). I think I have a pretty good pool of available units at the ...

What to do with Japanese PPs?

<t> Hey folks!<br/>
<br/>
In a PBEM I'm playing (very slowly) as the Japanese, I have about 1,200 PPs. It is December 26th 1941 (very, very slowly!). I have no real idea of what to do with these PPs. (I didn't follow Kull's sheet or anything smart like that.)<br/>

Any suggestions? We also ...

Historical torpedo tactics of warships

<t> Hey folks!<br/>
<br/>
One of the things that keeps surprising me in the combat replays is warships chucking torpedoes at each other from thousands, even tens of thousands, of yards distance.<br/>

Is this historically accurate? How did warships of the era actually utilize torpedoes (in ...

It's those inconveniently-located British units sitting directly SW of Kota Bahru. You can't just march through them as if they weren't there. ZOC applies, so your unit has to march around that hex.
