Re: A hybrid map mod

Just started using this to switch up from my usual, very big fan. May I ask what UI mods you're using for the TF icons and the actual UI bar?

It lives!

I apologize for not updating this AAR, to any who may have been following. I have been exceedingly busy in the real world (got my degree, moved, started a new job, and got engaged jeez), and the game had to go on a long hiatus. Over the next few days, I'll be updating to the current ...

Re: Icechuck's Round 2 AAR - New Player Japan Experience




Singkawang can field Betties and Nells. If there is an Air HQ, then they can carry torpedoes otherwise on Naval Strike with torpedoes selected they will carry a full load of bombs.


I was definitely thinking of that. How large do you figure the AF should be prior to staging Betties or Nells ...

Re: Icechuck's Round 2 AAR - New Player Japan Experience

I've got a handful of updates coming, and the game has continued. I was out of town for Easter and am now prepping for final exams and graduation from uni, so expect a bit of a delay on updates. However, we're nearing the end of December and the end of 41.

Make sure that you right click to replenish ammo . . .


Everytime I've clicked replenish TF from port I get the message TF 96 could not be fully rearmed. She has been docked.


Remove Ryujo from the TF, replenish it while at the port screen using a right click.

If you do not have an AKE there, you likely have to dock that CVL to replenish sorties.


Ryujo has been docked, and after receiving the next turn is still unable. I'll be transferring her to Truk for replenishment. Just to make sure this isn't user error, Badeldaob has 811 Support, 18971 ...

Playing 26b. I'll reach out if I can't get it on this next turn, I didn't realize that Ports had their own ops points, and had lots of TFs either refueling or reloading there.
