Eric,

For information: I've been successfully running UV in windows mode (with the -w switch). But I had to lower the colour pallette from True Color (32 bit) to High Color (16 bit) to make it work.

It's been very stable on the Win2000 OS I have.

You need to ask your Commander that question.......

But..... more seriously...... one of the interesting parts of UV is knowing when to give your Commanders decision-making ability.........

Ron,

You don't have to disable the auto-insert notification to stop the CD from starting automatically. Just hold down the shift key for a few seconds after you have inserted the CD in the drive. That will stop the autorun.

Here's a little information on Yokota...... but not much. Interesting details too on the I-26.

<r>Even the Japanese, apparently, aren't sure......... See:<br/>

I bet most of us did that........... I did

I've followed this thread carefully and I understand the frustration you get from the timescale/ground scale ratio of this design. That was also a feeling that I had initially.<br/>

I have had Task Forces positioned on the edge of a 10x10 hex area where I knew a major ...

<t>I haven't yet seen any consistent pattern in the repair (reduction of Sys points) of ships. Some examples from my game:<br/>
<br/>
CV Lexington (Sys=17) into Noumea 24 May. Reduced to 16 on 20 Jun. Still at 16 on 25 Jun.<br/>
CA Australia (Sys=32) into Brisbane 28 May. Reduced to 22 by 25 Jun.<br ...

<r>Ross........ When asked about the patch, use Churchill's reply:<br/>
<br/>
In December 1941, at a press conference where Roosevelt introduced Churchill to American journalists, Winston was pressed by them to say how long it would take to win the war.<br/>
Churchill said: "If we manage it well, it ...

This is also worth a look:

Miles,

When the unit list comes up, click on "Select Unit" to the right of the unit name you want. Then click "Done"....... That'll do it.

<t>Thanks Paul,<br/>
<br/>
The unusually large number of fighter escorts that accompanied the Lea raid has turned out to be a one-off. In the following days, as the Japanese continued to send a large escort of Zeros to Port Morseby, my CAP and escort numbers have seemed reasonable......<br/>
<br ...

<r>Sorry about this Ron............. but I drop by this board regularly to read the marvellous AARs of Mogami, dgaad, Fuchida and others.......and always find myself checking your messages.<br/>
<br/>
They read like an AAR....... Ron against the might of UPS......struggling valiantly...... now ...

<r>Paul.......thanks for that.<br/>
<br/>
I'm certain that fighters from other bases aren't involved.<br/>
<br/>
With morale checks, etc I can readily accept that I can be unlucky and get a low turnout of fighters even with Cap Level set to 80. But what puzzles me most is how did I get the 59 ...

Thanks LST.! That fits.....

CV Yorktown has 90 in the Cap column, which is right.......
CA Chester has 4........... the Seagull squadron it carries.....
and Neosho has 4000, which is the full fuel capacity it can carry.

Thanks for the help.

The manual's quite specific about Cap Level. It says (quote) <br/>
<br/>
CAP and Naval Search Levels dictate the percentage of the aircraft that will either fly CAP or Naval Search while the rest of the unit attempts to carry out its selected mission(s).<br/>
<br/>
When you choose ...

<t>The Op column shows the Operation Points of a ship for that move. See p58 of the manual for a full explanation......... every ship has 1000 operation points for every 12 hours, and an entry of (say) 500 in the Op column of a ship indicates that it's spent 6 hours on an operation activity (usually ...

<t>Thanks for the reply Dirtweasel.<br/>
<br/>
There is no damage to the airbase and supply is more than adequate. One of the fighter squadrons has a morale under 50, which would explain a reduction in CAP from the maximum possible......... but what puzzles me most is the 59% that escorted the ...

<t>I've seen this oddity mentioned by others but I haven't seen a reasonable explanation. Here's my example:<br/>
<br/>
It's June 13, 1942 in my #17 game against the AI. I have 5 fighter squadrons at Port Moresby....... a total of 86 operational fighters.<br/>
<br/>
The AI on the previous day raided ...

....and for an example of how to set up at night-time surface combat mission, see p 55 of the manual.......example 1.
