Re: Quick Questions Thread


Just replay the turn, it should be exactly the same. You can ask for a video to be saved but that would be in a patch if it were done at all.

BTW, when I played as Nationalists an ASW vessel blew up a submarine with the first depth "bomb" which American call depth charges.


Joe, that does not ...

Re: Quick Questions Thread






Look at the screen when the submarine combat occurs and the submarine is spotted so it crash dives.


I haven't run into that yet, but a sub crash diving due to being sighted does not tell you if SONAR is in play since that is a case of a surfaced sub ducking out of sight. Now if the combat ...

Re: Quick Questions Thread



Does this game system model ASDIC/SONAR? That was the one glaring weakness in WITPAE.

Re: Pilot bug?

I have.

BTW: I have just run another turn and it shows the same situation. It is based at Tabernas, just outside Almeria and is on a rail line (there is a DH9 squadron there that suffers the same issue). Almeria is connected via clear rail lines (as far as I can tell) to Cartegena, Valencia ...

Pilot bug?

I have a Republican fighter squadron that shows up every turn on the status reports as having more aircraft than pilots - even though every turn I assign pilots to that squadron.

Here are a couple of screenshots, one from the 20th of July where I had assigned two pilots to fill the squadron and ...

Re: Pay Attention to FUEL


So oil simply appears in Germany? I suppose there are no oilfields there.

The difference is history, matters to me, maybe not so much to you.


It was oil that was diverted from deliveries to Belgium and the Netherlands. My guess is that the developers did not want to add a USA off-map transit ...

It was still imported oil, so whether it comes from Germany, Italy, or Texas in the game system is immaterial, IMO.

Re: War in Spain: engine choice makes sense — but I worry the theater choice may hurt the wrong conclusion


I will echo the hope that this is a prelude to War In The Mediterranean. I may have confused him with someone else, but IIRC Alessandro attempted to create just such a game with the original WITP engine so many years ago.


I just wanted to mention that there are many hints in the game manual ...

Re: How do I cancel an air transfer if i wish to?

If you have already selected the destination, you will see that the operational aircraft have moved to the new base. The only thing that you can do is either transfer them back the next day or reload a save from before the transfer.

Re: Minas de Riotinto base ( hex 84,121) bad spelling

Another misspelling is in hex 73,104. On the map it is written as Miajadas but in the base list and unit reinforcement list it is written as Majadas. Google maps has it as Miajadas, but I am never sure just how accurate we can assume Google to be.

Re: La Revolución social española de 1936 has BEGUN! (PBEM on Youtube)

Something I am trying in my CG is transferring some of the xAKs from the Republic de Norte to the main ports in the east. First of all, you may notice that the port of Mahon is seriously low on supplies, but at the start of the game the Republica player has very few xAKs in that area (Cartagena ...

Since this game has similar Port size based TF loading restrictions to AE, wouldn't it be better to make use of the large port at Tarragona for loading the troops that are there in order to relieve the pressure on the port at Barcelona? Just asking in order to understand the game system better ...

Re: Wow what an upgrade can only dream of a future WITP to include this!

One lovely upgrade to the system in WiS is the Status Report, which tells you if a unit has move orders with no destination, or a TF is idle, or if an air unit has fewer pilots than aircraft - quite a number of issues that one might overlook when making orders in such a large game (like AE). The ...

Re: La Revolución social española de 1936 has BEGUN! (PBEM on Youtube)

I saw that you were a little confused during your discussion of CD gun ranges. In WITP each hex is 40nm which translates to 46 statute miles. Gun ranges are typically listed in yards (at least in US publications as well as British ones through WW2), so we should consider ourselves lucky that the ...

Not an issue, it has a lower movement cost along that route.


How is movement along a coastal path faster than on a major road?
