Thanks Alfred!

Okay, I know I've done this before, but I can't remember how and I can't find it anywhere. In a hex that has the potential for a base, but does not yet have one, how do I build a base?

Thanks,
Steve

<t> I had a friend who was a play tester for UV, I helped him test it and have been working my way up since. I only play against AI as I don't have the time or schedule to commit to a PBEM game. Or the mentality. I try not to game the system and give historical reality its' due. Such as game wise it ...

<t> After several hours of searching, about 10 minutes after I posted this thread, I found the page I needed. Thanks though for your replay.<br/>
<br/>
But one more question: Quiet china, how exactly does that work? Are all the units that start there tied down there for the duration? How far west ...

<t> I'm frustrated. I'd like to try Da Babes mod but I keep jumping from thread to thread and can't seem to find all the information I'm looking for. Is there a single site/thread that can answer all my questions below? If not, can someone help me? I want to play as Allies vs. AI Japan. Here are my ...

<t> Concentrate your carriers, keep them well protected with high AA ships, and keep them far away from anywhere the KB might be until sometime in 1943. You could get lucky and draw the KB into an area where you have lots of land based bombers and your carriers, or they may do something stupid like ...

<t> Thanks to everyone for their comments. It was a reporting issue with too many ships at PH. I pulled a couple of hundred out and moved them to Lahaina and everything is fine now. As to why so many ships at PH? I just don't need them anywhere else. I'm playing a slow, cautious game trying to ...

<t> I'm in mid August of 1944 in a single player, single day turn game playing the allies. Several game months ago I started having a problem where carriers of all types would disappear from PH when I loaded a saved game. Sometimes when they'd disappear they would take other ships with them ...

<t> It's February 26th in an Allies vs. AI game and up until now I've been pretty impressed with the AI. It's doing things differently than history. It has grabbed Noumea and has taken several small islands in the South Pacific, then pretty much vacating them; nothing strategically important but ...

Don't know why but to get more mines you have to first disband the mine laying taskforce and then recreate it.

#10 I've had the same problem with CVEs, I can't get planes to fly off and attack from them. I actually pulled one into a Japanese port with ships and it would not attack!

<t>Since nobody else wants to answer I'll see what I can remember. There is a setting for Japan using historical sub tactics or not. Historically they went after warships and left cargo ships alone. That can make a huge difference in how you have to play as the US. They is also a setting to adjust ...

From playing the game some I'd say PBYPilot is correct.

Unless you want "12 o'clock High" game to be in the game I would suggest slider bars where one just says I want 25% of the bombing effort to be against ball bearing plants, 25% to be against airplane manufacturing, and 50% to be against refineries.

<t>Try reading "General Kenney Reports" by, of course General George C. Kenny. He was in command of US Army and Allied air forces in the Southwest Pacific Area from August 42 until the end of the war.<br/>
He invented skip-bombing and commanded such pilots as Bong and McGuire.<br/>
The book is an ...

<t>From what I've seen, and I haven't compared this historically, in the game you have all the supplies you need that show up at your home base (or bases). Getting them to the front lines where you need them is the problem. You have a limited number of transports that have to be protected ...

<t>After seeing the game on one of the playtesters computers you will quickly turn off all the battle results animations, they mainly just take up time. The only animations will be when you select a ship you will see a wake behind it in it's picture or smoke and fire coming out of it's side if it's ...

<t>Again with mines, as with a lot of other military strategy, the problem is not how much damage they actually cause, but what damage they could cause. You are forced to take them into account spending resourses that could be used elsewhere. If not you just might loose that AP loaded with a marine ...

<r>Still play Alpha Centauri all the time. Love playing Diablo II just for the simplicity it brings to life; if it moves... kill it <E>:)</E> <br/>
SPWAW and Age of Rifles occupy large amounts of time though I rarely play games out. Once I find out if my main strategy is a success/failure I'm done ...
