<t>Good to hear! I must have missed this as I scanned the 1.5 patch items.<br/>

This does seem to be a common cause of the odd pilot/plane assignments. However, withdrawing/disbanding can cause similar problems as can carrier air groups which transfer to bases when their carrier is damaged and ...

<r>This has been the only major problem with the game since it was first released. However, in spite of its DEVASTATING effect on game play, it hasn't been completely addressed in the patches. Matrix fixed some of the early situations that were causing difficulties, but for the most part, the ...

<r>I'm looking to pick up another Allied opponent for a scenario 17 game. Currently, I'm working on 3.5 games. Translation - one opponent has very little time to play (only 3-5 turns per week :rolleyes: ). As a result, I'd like to add another game to fill that available time.<br/>

I'm ...

<t>What are the mission type and retirement status set to? "Fast Transport" and "Patrol/Do Not Retire" should do the trick at an enemy beach. <br/>
<br/>
At a friendly beach, set the friendly beach as both the destination and homeport. I believe if you do that, any type of transport task force ...

It's the original leader, Kozono; leadership 64; inspiration 70 (or values very close to those; I'm going from memory here). These values don't sound too low, so I don't think that's the problem.

<r>I'm experiencing the same bizarre loss of morale for the F1 Tainan Datai that Oleg mentions (currently it's at 43). There seems to be no reason for this morale drop. There is ample aviation support and plenty of supply at their base; only 2 or 3 losses to 6 kills; the base is undamaged; fatigue ...

<t>Yes, I suppose you could do the same thing with regular transport task forces, but they take so darned long to unload! While they're unloading, they're basically target practice for any enemy attack aircraft or subs in the vicinity. Also, they move very slowly compared to fast transport task ...

<r>What about fixing the pilot/plane allocation bugs reported by many players in several different threads? This is the only major problem with this (excellent) game as far as I can see. <br/>

Sure, there are other, minor points that could be refined, but this is the only item that borders on ...

Thanks for clearing that up for me. That will change how much I invest in expanding airfields now.

By this, do you mean you can set a friendly beach hex as the "Home Base" for a TF? I always assumed the "Home Base" had to be an actual base! VERY useful, if I ...

<t>Yes, there is a purpose to capturing them. If they are controlled by the enemy, he can use them as destinations for retiring task forces. The more "dots" he has, the greater choice he will have when deciding where to send TF's after completing their missions. (And the less choice you will have ...

<r>I have a related question concerning aviation support and an apparent error in the manual. The manual indicates (in section 19.8) that each airfield is associated with a particular base force, and when that airfield expands, the base force is supposed to gain aviation support squads. <br/>

<r>It's not quite as interesting to play against the AI now that I'm playing PBEM games. It is useful though to start a game against the AI and take my human opponent's side in that game. That way, I can get a rough idea of when his new units arrive. (That's not considered cheating, is it? <EMOJI ...

If the biscuit has my opponent's next turn attached, I guess I can be nice.

<r>I'm pitiful! I've played more games of minesweeper, hearts and solitaire this weekend than I have in my entire life! I need something else to do while waiting for my PBEM opponent's turns to arrive. <br/>
