Time-Life WWII series "Island Fighting" identifies it as 27TH Inf at Butaritari Island/Makin.

<t> I've searched for clues on here for what to do with those LCI's, LST's and the LCI(G)'s. I was hoping that putting all those landing craft in the invasion hex would let me shuttle troops from the AP's faster. I never have found a clear answer on this board or in the manual on how to use them.<br ...

<t> My dad was with VB-104. PB4Y's off Guadalcanal and a few other Islands.<br/>
His plane was #60 and the nose art consisted of plain white stenciled letters "MOMENTARY DYSENTERY."<br/>
I see they are coming on later in the Guadalcanal scenario I'm playing.<br/>
Gotta be careful with those guys ...

I'll play about anything reasonable.
Any side or type of battle as long as I have a chance.

I'd like to start PBEM again. I'll play about anything.
Email if interested.

Budweisers not too bad after you swallow it <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I look carefully at the carry capacity of the transport and carry cost of the units. Always try and jam that transport full. You can wedge a few small units in the transports with your troops like inf AT or snipers to take advantage of the excess room.

<t>I saw a documentary on Stalingrad a week or so ago that had some errors in the footage. Late model PZ-IV's early in the campain. I see those kind of mistakes in most WWII programs. It seems like they could employ some editors that would know what is out of place.<br/>
I did get a glimps of a Red ...

How about a Austrailia vs Japan Kokoda battle? From what I've read it wouldn't involve large forces. Would be interesting to see realisticly presented but may actually not be all that much fun to play.

We'd probably be better off not knowing exactly what it sounded like <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

<t>I was the JA in a PBEM game awhile back and usually avoided being spotted by the Marines unless I was in the open moving too fast.<br/>
I think it was the B infantry squads that have the 50mm mortars that I found to be deadly. I had great success firing on HT's. I'd usually damage or destroy the ...

<r>I've been after my brother to scan and send me some choice photos from my dads war album.<br/>
Two photos of a Betty being hammered by the guns of my dads PB4Y (Navy Liberator) are the best. The second shot is after it skipped off the water! On the back it says the Betty was never a confirmed ...

I think it was the first version I had the disk two message but the game actually worked as if it installed completely.
I expected some problem to eventually arise but it seemed ok.
I later had a major PC crash and had to download the whole thing again.

I like to use snipers and have seen this with more than just the USMC. Both mine and the enemy get two kills occasionally. I don't remember seeing more than two with one shot.

Would anyone be kind enough to send me the complete current 6.1 OOB's? I seem to have corrupted mine somehow. I haven't edited them in anyway but started getting a warning in PBEM games when I upgraded to 6.1.
Thanks

Even though the VH is not shown on the big map when purchasing, moving your mouse over the general area shown on the small map will reveal it's location and value in the pop up box.

<t>Maybe it's what happens to me sometimes. I think I'm firing at a nearby unit that was previously targeted but it really targets a farther unit that has just moved.<br/>
This is usually caused by me not paying close enough attention. Also if I zoomed out to get a wider view it wouldn't happen as ...

I'm getting a corrupt OOB file message in PBEM games so maybe it's a problem with my installation of 6.1.
Anyone know where I can download the current OOB's for 6.1 without downloading the whole game again?
Thanks.

Scott

<t>I'm just starting the 3rd battle and see I have HT icons for the mg's that were already in place. Is there a fix for this?<br/>
Love it so far. <br/>
I have two marine Co, I Raider Co, some engineers, a few Stuarts and SP 75's.<br/>
Pretending to clear this place out for my dads unit to begin ...

<t>I had all of my German reinforcements arrive in a PBEM game with their range set to zero.<br/>
In anther PBEM game every unit I owned, that hadn't moved, dissapeared after I requested reinforcements. I couldn't see them but was able to use them normally to finish the turn. I just had to cycle ...
