Bo,

Definitely some good stuff in there, but it seems like I'm pretty secure in holding PM at the moment (at least until the supplies dry up). I pretty much did what you recommended and prepared it for a siege before I got my squadrons rocked.

I know without air superiority and with the AF ...

You won't be able to airlift in anti Aircraft guns. What you can do is load up as much carrier fighters As you can and use them to cover a task force to bring in anti aircraft units. Make sure that you have plenty of naval support there too. If you don't , bring it with you....GP


Yes sir.. was ...

Possible to sneak more AA in via fast transport or air? Doesn't sound like you'll be able to contest the skies for a while, but try to make his bombing runs as operationally expensive as possible -- bring in as much AA as you can, keep it supplied, and let those units and the slow gears of math ...

Hey All,

Interested in some strat talk if anyone will entertain me. BLUF: I'm getting absolutely clobbered at PM as the Allies. I haven't really been threatened on the ground - Got the 5th AUS DIV, a couple base forces and engineers, supporting artillery, AA, etc and they're more than holding ...

Hey Floyd, fantastic news. I've pretty much transitioned all of my saves over to the tracker as my main "tool" in 2026. Besides the bump in loading times, I don't think there's anything I would change necessarily. I find all of the data sets have great value as is. If i could add anything it would ...

I really like latest 1128.

Pity that most mods (if any) would not work with it, especially not sure about map mods.

Just make another, clean, installation and add 1128 and give it a try.


Hey Saur. Just wanted to say, 1) I've been reading your AARs and various comments for about a year now and ...

28 is a beta in the sense that it was put out with the hope of getting feedback or if all went well it would be made an official update. There has been some feedback

Maybe you should read this to judge for yourself if you want to use your time on a 28 GC.

The game version considered the best stable one is 26b. It is actually a beta that has never been made into the default game version. All this does is patch the default game 26a and it does so by creating a sub folder called Beta placing the .exe and other files into this folder that you ...

You could open the game as the Japanese player and give the offending TF return to base orders????


Hey roger that, tracking that's an option, I appreciate it. I'm relatively new to the game and I've spent significant time starting multiple scenarios. Stinks dumping a couple weeks into a save ...

hey man, ran into a similar question.. after I had played into mid march '42 and things started getting wonky. I played the da babes lite version scenario on 1.8.11.26b? and the game quickly derailed. KB just sitting on Palmyra doing nothing, unescorted carriers just rolling right up to PH and ...

Been many posts raised on the AI but here's a few points about playing the AI and they mostly apply to both sides.

The AI is working to scripts it has limited ability to react to anything you do. It's scenerio creator who has decided and possible something more adventurous later.
The AI will not ...

If it's normal and I'm overthinking it. What do i do if the KB just.. doesn't leave? Do i just divert everything way east and around christmas island? Do I just sit tight and hope they leave? Any operational level input would be awesome. I'm trying to keep things as realistic as possible, so as ...

sorry had to delete the duplicates

Hey guys,

Another interesting game and subsequent operational question.

I'm in late February 1942. For whatever reason the Jap AI is obsessed with Palmyra. I've thrown one invasion force back into the sea. On this second attempt, they rolled in in force x10. A 10 ship cargo force, roughly the ...

Thank you both for the replies! Adds another layer of complexity, love it. Just glad I wasn't missing something obvious.

Had a bit of an interesting one earlier today.. Normally I speed thru the turns and utilize my reports to track sightings, intel, sigint, etc. instead of watching and trying to log each individual sighting. Well today during a turn I happened to be paying attention and noticed a search plane pick up ...

Thanks for the response Wiedrock. Is there a specific time during the turn that you can see this info? I just tried two turns on my GC campaign and everytime I pull up the battles filter after the soviet turn it just shows 0's across the board. I know there's been counterattacks but no records ...

Hey all, qq below that's driving me crazy:

playing a GC on the axis side. I see all of my turn battles and combat reports, but during the AI soviet turn, I don't see anything. the turn ends and I have no idea how my units that were engaged performed, what equipment was lost, where it happened, etc ...

I absolutely adore China in WITP:AE.

The amount of little tweaks you can do there to prop up your defenses is simply STAGGERING. In comparison to China, Australia and India are boring owing to their low unit density and big supply surpluses.


Well now I feel like i'm missing out on a whole ...
