RE: What Operating Systems do you use to play the game?

I don't play yet, (still financially challenged and waiting for physical shipment to get sorted out), but when I do, it'll be on 32-bit xp and have no plans on going to vista, even when I buy the new PC for WITP-AE.

RE: Uncommon Valor vs War in the Pacific

<t> I started on UV and moved to WITP after it came out and have finshed 2 games against the Japanese AI and have started a 3rd.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm also going to go back to playing UV, just for a change of pace.<br/>

So, I'd buy UV first and if you like it but want more, then buy WITP ...

RE: Ship movement issue

<t> Airbal is in my favor as I own the base and my PBY's report nothing in a 600nm radius. Also, it's not every TF. I just sent a group of DM's to mine wake and they did so without a problem. Also, I never put any are under AI control.<br/>

This deal should be around for quite a while yet, so there should be time. We don't have a firm end date yet.

1) An invasion TF, if set to go directly to enemy base will stop 3-4 hexes short of the base. I have to set the TF to stop 1 hex short of the base, then I can set it to the ...
