O.K., thanks for the advice everyone.  It's too bad, because I could use the extra CAP at the moment, but I'll have to deal with it.

I did try to do a search and came up empty, but I guess it was too specific.  I should have just searched for CVE.

<t> I'm relatively new to the game and I'm having a problem with my CVEs. Many of them have more planes than is their capacity, which I believe is preventing them from flying any of them. Am I doing something wrong to cause this to happen?<br/>

Generally I've been dumping the torpedo planes ...

<t>I think you will find that putting one or two fighter squadrons on night operations as you suggested will fend off those annoying minor night attacks. I usually put my least experienced fighters on night duty. But then again, you may want the less experienced guys conducting daytime attacks to ...

Am I correct in assuming there is no way to direct an air combat TF to attack a base that is inland but close enough to the sea for a task force to reach (Clark Field, for example)?

I can't figure out any way to do it.

Thanks for the advice MJ.

<t>I get the impression that the editor can be used to edit saved games in order to raise sunk ships, etc. What file do you open to do this? If I edit obc41, isn't that just changing the settings for Campaign 41, rather than a particular saved game? If I were to change that, wouldn't it effect all ...

<t>Do seaplane tenders fly a fighter cap in 2.2? I had a single task force of Japanese CS ships drop off an LCU in Perth. After they unloaded the land unit they were attacked by fighter bombers, and a small number of Japanese fighters intercepted. I don't know what kind of planes they were, but they ...

I think you are out of luck in both cases. I don't think there is any way to switch dive bomber production to fighters, or increase the your number of tankers.

Those are just two of the many limitations you have to live with as the Japanese.

Sorry if I hit a raw nerve with anyone by bringing up this old subject. All I was looking for was a clarification as to whether this old problem was addressed. I got that clarification, and can now take appropriate measures to deal with it. No problem here.

Was this problem addressed in version 2/2.1 or do you still have to agree to a house rule to prevent a human opponent from taking unfair advantage?

Put the MCS ships in LA rather than SF for routine convoys. Plus leave your DEs there too. Before you get your DEs in quantity, you probably want to have some of your DDs there as well.

<t>Over time several divisions of ANZAC troops get transferred to other HQs (it might always be SW Pacific, I don't remember). At that point you can move them out of Austraila. I don't have the exact units or schedules for it though.<br/>
<br/>
I just keep watching the Aust. and NZ LCUs. When an LCU ...

If your task force makes it to the target, does not unload, but stays at that destination then you can always manually unload into the enemy controlled port via the unload TF command. I believe that even gives you the chance to assign a leader before the land combat starts the next turn.

<t>I just reread the section of the manual on leaders, and from what it says it looks to me like there is very little reason to ever have a local "on the spot" leader, or even a leader in a subordinate HQ. Can this be right?<br/>
<br/>
If you put your best land combat guy (with a high aggressiveness ...

<t>I just started a Campaign 41 game as the Japanese. Some of the LCUs are assigned to 17th Army and when the capture a base it naturally become a 17th Army base. However there is no 17th Army HQ, and therefore no PPs for that base.<br/>
<br/>
The manual says 17th Army is around from 12/41. I'm ...

Someone in another post said they succeeded in downloading last night. Maybe that means it's working again. Give it another try.

Good Luck.

I just talked to my opponent in my PBEM game. He is playing the allies. He said that the routine supply phase appeared to run normally as far he could tell, so maybe it will work.<br/>
