The Replentishment routine will only work if the TF leader is in the CVE appearently. In prior versions I designated the flagship as one of the DDs - in this version this won't work. Designate Repl TF as the leader, and the routine will work...

I cannot get the replentishment routine to work with CV TFs. It works fine with non-CV groups. All I get is the Replent. TF moving into the 'hex' with the CV group, then the replent. TF retiring. The CV TF will redistribute fuel to DDs normally.

<t>PacWar has always had this problem. Here is what you do.<br/>
<br/>
1. Give your air combat TFs a destination with a standoff range of 1, assign all airgroups a NI mission so they don't get wasted on useless airfield attack missions. Make sure you are in early '44 with the larger carrier fighter ...

<t>Often times while attempting to explain a phenomena, people tend to focus on small elements of that phenomena, while ignoring outside considerations. This can be a useful tool of analysis, if all outside variables can be quantfied and controlled. Rarely is this the case, especially in operational ...

Excellent operations research data!

Bravo! Bravo!

<t>I usually have configuration problems when it comes to running games on my computer. But the exception is the Matrix PacWar, I've had absolutely no problems in getting it up and running. Hopefully some of the computer oriented individuals can help with this situation.<br/>

I have never been ...

This has been commented on in a previous string. Some of the escort carrier groups have no air groups, because of the limited slots available for air groups in the game. Utilize these carriers in replentish TFs.

<t>The American Volunteer Group consisted of very experienced American officers given a sort of 'leave of absence', in order to help the KMT counter the Japanese air attacks. At the time of Pearl Harbor, the AVG was actually in Burma training, before committment in China. The AVG fought the IJAAF in ...

<t>Observations so far...<br/>
Jeremy seems to be contend that "accumulation of flying hours doesn't determine pilot quality"; and "after a point, further accumulation of hours becomes routine." Then something to the effect" that after a 20-40 hours of training, further flight time has little effect ...

<r>In my experience with P-38 v A6M2, an exchange ratio of about 3:2 in favor of the P-38. This is May/June '43, experience ratings of mid 80s v 70s. Air leader ratings 8 or 9 on both sides. A really good thing for the players to have would be the formula for air combat resolution. In mid '43, the ...

<t>The problems that are illustrated in the last post are due primarily to the fact that the Japanese side acts first in all air combats. The software cycles through all Japanese bases initiating air attacks, then the allied side. This results in the allies being disrupted, and unable to mount any ...

<t>Some additional aircraft stuff...in v2.1<br/>
<br/>
The 343rd Fighter Group is classified in the game as USMC; its equipped with P-40Es.<br/>
<br/>
I'm in Jan '43 of v2.1, do any of the P-40E factories convert to P-40N??<br/>
<br/>
Oscar II with a range of 6!!!!I sincerely hope this is changed ...

<t>One way to get routine supply to 'move around' is to relocate HQ to a specific location for the specific purpose of building ip supply; just be careful!!<br/>
<br/>
I actually got the computer to run routine supply into Rangoon! It occurred after Japanese forces were ejected outside of Rangoon. A ...

<t>I've noticed that when LCUs are loaded on transports, both 'Liner' and AP, that their readiness is now dropped to 24 rather that the old 49. Is this a deliberate change?<br/>
<br/>
I haven't gotten to the point in v2.1 where I see LSTs yet; are the readiness levels for LCUs dropped from the ...

<t>The land paths in Australia are necessary. Australia had enough transportation infrastructure to warrant land links throughout the continent.<br/>
<br/>
I haven't seen many detailed maps of 1940s East Indies; detailed enough to show roads and railroads. My recollections are that Mataya and Java ...

<t>There has been much discussion about the limited amount of space available for LCUs, and discussion about house rules limiting operations in China and Korea. So...<br/>
<br/>
Why not just 'nix' the Nationalist China forces and bases. The land path would end at Kunming, with this base existing ...

<t>SNLF... Many psychological studies of men in combat point out that only 25% of men in combat do anything of effect. These men are usually called 'natural fighters'. Armies spend a great amount of time attempting to identify these men and to place them in positions where they can have the greatest ...

<t>Regarding IJA losses in offensive actions vs American and ANZAC; this also includes the New Guinea campaigns vs the Australians, and the battles on the northern side of New Guinea in '43.<br/>
<br/>
One issue in PacWar that prevents Japanese actions such as Guadalcanal, at least for a human ...

<t>I ran into a problem like the one mentioned regarding LCUs. I mentioned this in another string. I was playing non-historical allies; loaded up the Brit 18th and a couple of Indian Brigades, everything went fine. Start of next week checked the transports, only 9 squads from each formation present ...

<t>On the issue of B-29s being a) too powerful, and b) too many; this is exactly what the Japanese faced from Spring '45 to the end of the war. This issue is a classic 'operations research' question. What weapons were present at what time with what capability and with what logistical support. I ...
