<t> I'm looking forward to getting this game, but since I am in the process of buying a new computer, I've been holding off.<br/> <br/> I see that people have been having trouble with the Intel 950 GPU, but the computers I am looking at have the Nvidia GeForce 6100 or 6150 integrated graphics. Can s...

<t> AFAIK, Scenario 16 is the "historical" scenario. It starts in June, since in order to consider Midway, it has to start AFTER Midway.<br/> <br/> UV has no mechanism to withdraw ships, so in order to get a historic Midway, the carriers sunk at Midway have to be removed from the data base at the be...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Thorgrim<br/> <br/> <br/> Yes, and that was already answered. Cheat protection. To go around that, manually backup the squad file.

<t> Wow!!!!!<br/> <br/> Thanks everyone for the replies and guidance. Looks like I have a lot of thinking, testing, and practicing to do in order to get optimal performance out of my squad.<br/> <br/> I must say, I am exceedingly impressed by the design of this game. The forethought that went into t...

<t> A few quick questions regarding game mechanics. I've check the manual, the patch notes, and the unofficial guide and didn't see the answers, but if I missed some, I apologize.<br/> <br/> 1) Increaseing attributes. I want to increase the Intelligence of one of my Jocks from 8 to 9. The table says...

<t> Thanks for the pointers everyone!<br/> <br/> Personally, I've always felt that a game which has a good forum going -- particularly when the devolper's have a constant presence -- has a huge edge. No matter how good the manual and in-game help is, there are just so many things to learn by reading...

<t> Bcasner & aku_djinn:<br/> <br/> As a newbie who has just had his Eureka moment two days ago, I can say it all does make sense once you "get it". In particular, aku_djinn's question about "ordering multiple units" and "stringing together units" showns a mis-understanding of the underlying mec...

<t>Basically, you have two choices:<br/> <br/> Withdraw one squadron: Planes from the Withdrawn unit are mearged with another squandron with the same type of aircraft at the same base (if more than one, your choice). Pilots are removed from the theater. After 60 days (IIRC) the squadron will return ...

<t>I can see why you don't want to get withing TBD range of the Japanses, but consider the following:<br/> <br/> Japanese aircraft have longer ranges than the SBD. This means that if you stand off at max normal SBD range, you are still well within Japanese Aircraft range. ALL Japanese aircraft<br/> ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s><I><s>[i]</s>Originally posted by Bax <e>[/i]</e></I><br/> <B><s>[B]</s>Exactly, and that's why we shouldn't be allowed to set bombing alt for heavy, four-engined bombers to anything less than 10,000ft. At the very least, there should be some kind of morale or fatigue penalty...

<t>OK, this leads into a question I've had for a while . . .<br/> <br/> For some aircraft, their are two entries on the Replacement list. I realize that one is for US units, and one is for ANZACs, but which is which?<br/> <br/> I've always kind of assumed (being chauvanistic) that the first ones are...

<t>Just out of curiosity:<br/> <br/> 12x Marauders with 6 bombs each<br/> 6x Mitchells with 6 bombs each<br/> 24x B-17 with 12 bombs each<br/> 9x B-24 with 16 bombs each<br/> <br/> That's 540(?!) bombs falling, of which you got 27 hits, or 5% (exactly!!) hit rate. Is that really all that high?</t>

Off topic, but . . . .

Has anyone noticed whether or not a Replenishment TF can replenish itself?

I thought this used to be possible, but lately when I've tried it, it doesn't seem to work.

Is there any reason why it shouldn't?

<t>One of the limitations on a FT TF is that it only loads what it can unload in one turn at the DESTINATION, since it needs to get out by dawn.<br/> <br/> Thus, one of the factors in TF load is the size of the destination port, which is often a more severe limitation than the actual capacity of the...

<t>What I would like to see is a screen with a master list of all the Air Groups located at a particular Base or TF, with pulldowns to adjust (at least the major settings).<br/> <br/> I'd like to be able to open this screen and see all my Fighter Groups AT THE SAME TIME with their fatigue & skil...

<t>I'm playing "The Begining Ends" as the US vs. Japanese AI. I started the game under 1.4, und upgraded all the way to 2.20.<br/> <br/> I just completed a large scale CV vs. CV fight (ther was no carrier battle until early August, so both sides had pretty much every carrier they get). I noticed som...

<t>Actually, the Japanese did spend three days or so pounding Lunga from the slot before more CVs arrived on the scene. That's about how long it took me to form up my TFs at Nomea and sail them into range.<br/> <br/> The thing that surprised me most was how few Bombers actually managed to bleed thro...
