<r> Hi guys, long time no post (5 years!).<br/>
<br/>
Now that i"m resuming gaming ( first got pacwar in early 1993!) I'm looking for an old program "<B><s>[b]</s>pwreport.exe<e>[/b]</e></B>" (or something like that), which showed reinforcement arrival and had mild editing functions. Frankly, I'll ...

I've been a big fan of PACWAR updates since version 1.1, but is 3.1 causing THIS?

ouch

<t>I entirely agree with Ranger 75's post-- at the risk of having him post another 15 posts today.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Moving air groups in Pacwar occurs very often, according to the dicates of the mobile, far- ranging Pacific war (air groups tend to go were the enemy carriers or transport TF's are ...

<t>I always tolerated losing 10 a/c of high experience groups when transferring to a size 4 base, 'cause if they got in combat they would soon lose their 10 extra" a/c and the program would not reinforce them (wasting a/c experience and supplies). <br/>
<br/>
What the new island sizes encourages are ...

<t>These changes to Atolls are really interesting,as they will change many, many tactics, such as the basing of Betty bombers on Tarawa to interdict Allied shipping, or capturing Tonga to harass Fiji. And one can forget about early (pre B-25) shuttling of Allied tac air from PH to Australia with ...

The EF bug has been around since the 2.x versions. It needs to be changed, because it telegraphs to the Japanese player where the EF HQ is. And EF can get land units attched to it, like any other HQ.

<t>Thanks for the list, Jeremy. I noticed in a solitaire '41 3.0 game that Wirraways were quickly upgraded to P-40's. But in a two layer game ahs not occured after an equivalent # of turns (it seems, but then my opponent moves about as fast as the pre-global warming glaciers on New Guinea), <br ...

<t>I find much of the argument about US industry spurious, since if the Japanese are capturing US bases, the game is not going to be much of an Allied win anayway.<br/>
<br/>
Second, I find it curious in the talk about puny- tonnage tanks and planes, that no mention is made of merchant ships. As I ...

<t>i like combat as is just fine (the fail check rule is exciting), but would favor making low-exp units have the ability to train to 50 max. Even engineers. I saw in one of the 2.x versions that as Dutch units started training past 25/35 experience. I liked that<br/>
<br/>
50 experience isn't much ...

The reason for this is because the 1st Provincial Regiment in the Philippines is actually a regular infantry regiment given 100 tanks.<br/>
<br/>
The 7th Armoured Brigade was ...

eek.gifI agree! Snowstorm! I liked the old olive drab coloring. This white stuff si killing my eyes, and I'm only 39!

<t>but activating units consumes supply like a hungry hungry hog.<br/>
<br/>
I only activate units for combat/shipping<br/>
I recall in one of the versions 2.+ games, ALL allied units(inactive, too) had a limit of 50 (it was great watching Medan DUT troops getting up to 50 experience!); in version 3 ...

and one more thing: i've noticed the 7 UK arm BDE cost TWELVE pp's to activiate, like a division. What's the rationale there? T as a counterpoint, the much more proportionately AFV-heavy 1st prov RGT only cost 3 PP in the Philippines

i like 3.0 a lot as well (been playing for PACWAR for 9+ years). I'm eagerly awaiting the changes written down, too.

<r>just like my earlier post that Mika answered About allied convoys having a PBEM bug when saving (yes, they are resupplied every time one resumes a saved game), i suspect this is another bug related to saving. As you wrote,<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s><I><s>[i]</s>Originally posted by deVada <e>[/i ...

<t>A si've played about 84230275240570248524805 hours of thsi game, I observe the follwing:<br/>
<br/>
Jakes sink subs-- do not despair<br/>
<br/>
Dinahs sink subs far lesst han Jakes , actually, in my extensive experience. They seem to not sink anything at all after mid '42<br/>

Wow, Mika, you really got to work on the problems quickly!

Thank you!

I for one don't mind vcr replay. It works great. I hope you can find an easier way to deal with that PBEM supply bug. Clearly, you've put in a lot of your time into making us gamers happier.

<t>I've already mentioned the Allied supply bug that redoes Allied routine convoys following a restart of a saved game in PBEM mode; I now notice another bug: Allied sub refueling.<br/>
<br/>
On resumption of a saved game as the Allies in PBEM mode, any allied subs docked in a port( e.g., the Salmon ...

Thank you for the interest in PBEM (despite the nefarious Allied oversupply bug)

I have already begun two games thanks to the above request. So I'm using this post to notify all the other gentlemen who have contacted me that at this time, two games is enough.

happy gaming

<t>I just started playing PBEM and I noticed when one saves unfinished Allied orders in PBEM mode, then reloads the game (after say, a 4th of July picnic) the routine convoys routine maganimously RE- SUPPLIES the Allied bases! The convoy phase is repeated!<br/>
<br/>
In fact, this happens EVERY time ...
