another thing I've just spotted is that the ai doesn't leave garrisons. I had a dutch LCU pushed out of Pontianak, it still has some AV left so i sent it back in to find the Japanese had & left 20,000 supply - although said unit is now getting bombed to bits...

b) my merchant ships keep on picking up 1 point of engine damage that needs a dockyard to repair meaning a long trip to Cape T , LA or San F (i use PH for warship repair & i don't use Sydney after having a damaged US CV sunk outside the port, fortunately i'd landed the air groups at Brisbane to ...

if starting from fresh how would you change it?
I would start with better graphics for Naval/Air combat (without going down the road of making it just a game for kids)
etc.
allow players to choose weather to allow the game/or not ,,to run Jap expansion/rescourses/building etc??
same with the Yanks ...

& c. what do i do to enable DG & Addu to refuel CV & BB?


Seems like a Replenishment task force with some well-laden fleet oilers in the same hex would do it. Otherwise, you could go to the locations tab of the editor and edit their port build size up substantially from two and maybe have a ...

dpt182, you need to become familiar with the editor - the editor.exe files are in the Scen folder.
You can use a Grand campaign scenario as a base and tailor it to you needs and save it in an unused slot.
It is possible to define in the "Scenario" tab a limited area of the map to be used for your ...

Feel free to use the editor and then enjoy witnessing Formidable with Somerville aboard getting sunk 99 times out of 100 without her radar-equipped doing any harm to KB - because it takes very experienced pilots to hit ships at sea at night.


The books I've read agree with you, but a: How do I ...

I am only playing for the 2nd time & didn’t reach April in my first game.

Admiral Somerville arrives 1 March, but CV Formidable (the ship that carried him) arrives Cape Town 15 March & takes about another 2 weeks to arrive Colombo, rather than arrive Combo 24th March. CV Hornet actually has an ...

I changed that in a mod I did 12 years ago. Raiders and commandos could load and not Paratroops....GP

Hi Ranger Joe,
How do you change this - presumably in the game editor?
Regards

I think it was because players were making unrealistic landings with large multi-sub TFs.

In a 4 sub TF, the most you could land would be 4 squads the only thing you could use it for would be to grab a dot or unoccupied base surely?
David

In order to bo loaded onto a sub, an LCU should be in Move mode.

Ok, I put Cebu BF in move mode & put SS Gato supply capacity 60 (my largest capacity sub of the 8) in a sub transport TF & it still would not load I got a message along the lines of "unable to allocate any load to any ship" , are ...

Looking at the map, I don't see how you could have 115 supplies at Laogag.
Either you shipped supplies there (Laogag has a port) or used transport planes to fly some supplies there.
If you did neither, than I have no idea where the supplies came from.


Hi,
I had 2 Sub-Transport TF's (8 subs ...

How do you know you lost exactly 115 supply? The combat report only has "supply hits" for air raids.

When the Fog Of War (FOW) is off, you see the supply and fuel losses inflicted on the enemy.

Hi,
Yes as it's my first game I left FoW off to see if it made any difference, but I ...

I think maybe we are talking at cross purposes.There are both scheduled and unscheduled AG removals each with two methods, withdraw or disband.

Unschedule withdrawal to another AG tranfers all AC to that unit, the pilots stay with the unit. If there is no unit to join then all ready AC go to the ...

You should never disband an air squadron - they're essential to your pilot-training program. Even w/ only 2 planes, over time they'll reliably train skills to around 60-level & increase experience to about 50-level, for their full complement of pilots drawn from the robust USA/USN/USMC replacement ...

[/quote]
Any squadron that is grayed out or set to withdraw without having a return date I setup for training and withdraw or disband at the appropriate time. Don't fill out squadrons with aircraft that meet the above criteria. Save your pools of aircraft for front line units....GP

Ok, that ...

RJ, I use the PrtScr key without the Windows key and it captures the screen to the clipboard just the same. A bit simpler if you are trying to capture a combat animation moment.

Thanks for the help guys

In v28.4 scen #1 other than some FP I can only see one AG that arrives that has an authorised AC of two. A picture or at least group name would help.


Hi Chris,.
I was referring to No.79 Sqn RAF & also the US 307 & 308 BG's, equipped with B18 Bolo (I never heard of this aircraft before playing ...

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I have disbanded several US bomber HQ squadrons (as they are tiny) and stuck the plane into another bomber squadron, but I'm nervous about disbanded RAF & bigger US squadrons in case I get a bunch of planes later. I suppose I could try just withdrawing them for 90 days ...

Hi,
I moved it in "Move" mode in the option screen (it had been pushed into the mountains East of Laog as a result of combat and I couldn't resist the urge to do something with it before it disintegrated like sone Dutch units in islands further South) & it shock attacked the empty base as I forgot ...

Hi,

I've noticed a lot of reinforcing air squadrons only seem to have 2 aircraft & 2 pilots (including the squadron commander). I'll accept this was US practice as I know nothing about their organisation, but I don't see the RAF forming a squadron of 2 aircraft and sending it to the Far East ...
