Thermite is a mixture of powdered aluminum and iron. It burns with an intense heat- so intense that it breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen which will then recombine with a bang. I don't know how this Japanese thermite bomb worked (if ...

<t> When I played the Aug 1942 Scenario #14 the No. 457 RAAF Sqdn was in Melbourne equipted with Spitfire Vbs and was moved to Port Morsby to become one of my most effective fighter squadrons. Now playing a modified Scenario #16 the No. 457 RAAF Sqdn on 6/17/42 indicates that it will arrive the next ...

<t> I had this problem when I first played Scenario #10 so have modified all my post 1943 CV upgrades to A/C capacity to 92 so the 105 CAGs will fly. On a test of Scenario #16 played AI vs AI out to 7/28/45 in version 1.21 it seems that the dive bomber squadrons will maintain their 15 plane limit ...

The problem with that is that only the Essex was laid down before the war. CV-10, the future Yorktown II, was laid down after the war started. From here on, Japan was an oviosu threat, and the ships were being laid down at a rate of one every 1-2 ...

Pitiful, truly pitiful (respawning twice) as though virtually 1/2 the fleet can respawn isn't bad enough. This may be enough to make me quit the game forever.

<t> Just for the record, the CA respawn rule also includes CLs. I don't know when it was changed but in my AI vs AI game that was stopped at 7/28/45 v1.21 Scenario #16 modified, there were 14 respawned Baltimore class CAs in theater along with the 4 that were already in the game. There would have ...

The simple explanation.<br/>
<br/>
Hex 19,55 is a trail hex-you move at the trail rate. It will take at least 15 days to get from 19,55 to Palemburg.<br/>

Palemburg is a road hex-you move at the road rate. It will take one or two days ...

<t> OK, I have another example where a Dutch unit attempts to move into a hex over a period of days that a Japanese unit does in 1 day.<br/>

The Dutch unit 1st WS Garrison battlion had just entered hex 19,55 on 3/1/42 with 1 mile toward hex 20,55 which is Palembang. By 3/5/42 1st WS Garrison ...

<t> The 33rd Inf Div was a full strength division that was overstrenght in IJA engineer squads and support. It also had 14 Type 92 tankettes attached that aren't in its TOE. On 2/21/42 when it was sitting in the jungle it had disruption of 20 and fatigue of 62. Following its 120 mile move out of the ...

<t> In my first v1.21 Scenario #16 mod game as the Allies versus the Japanese on hard level I was having problems staying ahead of the Japanese in Burma. I looked at some save games as the Japanese to see how they were doing it. I saw some incredible movement. The Japanese 33rd Inf Div on 2/21/42 ...

<t> I have just about finished my v1.21 Scenario #16 mod test game. The date is currently 7/28/45 and I compiled data on each CAG about every 6 months from previous saves to figure out how the redistribution of US CAGs work. I think you need to put the CV into a port for replenishment before the ...

I don't know what his first game was but the first one I played was the original War in Russia. The Matrix editon is actually an improvement to the third generation of that game. The second generation was Second Front.

<t> I'm up to 4/3/44 in my computer versus computer test of a Scenario #16 mod with v1.20. I switched the 51st FG from West Coast HQ to Southeast Asia HQ in the mod and the unit kept getting withdrawn by the computer so it is always within 60 days of arriving at Los Angeles. I thought it might be my ...

<t> In my modified Scenario #16 game v1.21 I just split the 23rd FG in Calcutta on 4 Jan 42 into its three squadrons. A squadron was commanded by the original group commander but B and C squadrons had a couple of 1st Lieutenants promoted to Major to command them. Their names were Heath, D. and ...

<t> In my test of my v1.20 Scenario #16 mod that is running computer vs computer it is now 21 Aug 43 and the first 6 Baltimore class CAs are on their way to the pending invasion of Tarawa. Three of the six Baltimore class CAs are replacements for lost CLs. In total the Allies have lost 9 CAs and 10 ...

I have boots older than ya laddie...

OK, we're comparing boot ages now? I still have a pair of jump boots that I purchased at Ft Bragg, N.C. in 1963 and I left the Army in 1978.

<t> I think that what you have found is what I would call a wart instead of a bug. In any Scenario I play I change all US carriers to give them an A/C capacity of 92 with any 1944 or later upgrade. This should allow you to operate up to 105 A/C which is what happens to US carriers in 1945 once you ...

<t> Rule 15.1.1 states that only US and Australian CAs return as either Baltimore class CAs or Cleveland class CLs. The probabiltiy is 50% for both classes and if the game operated in this way it would pretty much duplicate history. In my modified Scenario #16 test game (now at 6/14/42) there have ...
