<t> Consider a base being invaded. The base is bombed and suffers base damage and troop loss. If engineers are present, they will automatically repair the damage and use up supplies.<br/>

The invading force has landed supplies, so presumbably they have huge amounts of supplies exposed and ...

<t> A situation I have noticed is how advancing troops can be bumped back. In one AI game, I had an infantry force of several regiments march 7 days and cover 28 miles. Next turn they would arrive at the destination base. However, an allied unit arrived in the japs hex of origin before they left it ...

AKs are freighters with the ability to carry troops, APs are troop transports with the ability to carry supplies. AKs will load/unload supplies faster than APs, APs will load/unload troops faster than AKs.

What is the "One hex react"? I think it is partly why I just got an ...

<t> I have a CVE TG reacting to an enemy carrier group, although the CVE TG was set to Do NOT react. Can the TG commander ignore the unit settings and react anyway? The commander was only Competency 40/Inspiration 55, so was not all they great. <br/>

I thought the Do Not React setting was an ...

The Bombard TG had Noumea as home base, so I changed it to Gilli to ensure it had lots of fuel. It still withdrew to Gilli without proceeding to ...

<t> Has this ever come up before? The seasons and weather in UV is completely wrong. It is northern hemisphere, not southern hemisphere!<br/>

It struck me playing Summer of '43, June to October. IT is Winter that starts in June in the South Pacific, nor summer. <br/>

<t> I have asked this before, and probably many others have as well, as I have read the topic in other threads.<br/>

A number of times I have wanted my Bombard TG's to stay put, either to avoid them retreating next to an airbase that will bomb it out of existance, or to mount repeated ...

UV is remarkable in that it gives the player nearly complete control over things that matter little, while giving the player little control over the things that matter the most... and leaves those ...

<t> I have played both Gary Grigsby?s Pacific War and Uncommon Valor. I am not familiar with this thread, but as WitP carries on the tradition of these other games, I am expecting the underlying flaws to persist. I believe the principal cause is that while GG is brilliant technically in terms of ...

<t> What do people think of how damaged ship task groups are managed in UV. By these, I mean the task groups which automatically detach when a vessel has sustained a certain amount of damage.<br/>

I have several issues with the current model, which seems to be a legacy of Pacific War. These ...

<r> House Rules do have their place, in particular in a tournament situation where all players are supposed to be on an even playing field.

<t>What is the difference in UV between CAP and LRCAP. Would an escort squadron with cAP set to 100% be the same as LRCAP, except that the CAP squadron would only defend its base and LRCAP would defend against an airraid within range?<br/>

CAP and LRCAP could historically never support 100% of ...
