<t>Joel,<br/>
Thanks for your input and insight on this issue. It is greatly appreicated and is another example of the great feedback and support this game and its players enjoy.<br/>

The not being able to react into a base hex is an interesting possibility. Of the four hexes available to ...

Thanks for all the constructive comments and analysis of the tactics employed in this example. I should stress that I have no problem with UV with respect to receiving a good thumping and losses when I implement an unsound tactic and take one on the chin, it's all ...

I appreciate the time you took to read my lengthy post and offer some insight on what you thought of my tactics at the time. Let me expand a bit into the tactical picture.<br/>
<br/>
On Lunga, in addition to the two Wildcat squadrons, there were two dive bomber ...

<t>Let me first preface this by stating that I have been playing UV since it was released. I have played through all of the patches and after going through the Coral Sea scenario twice, winning once decisively and once having my head handed to me, I have played scenario #17 exclusively since. I have ...

Very well spoken. Give a ...

Once again, Hats off to the top notch level of support for this game. Truly, well done all around!!

<t>One thing I have encountered with the 1.2 patch is something I had not seen previously. I had a CV group providing LRCAP to an amphi group invading Gili Gili (as the Allies). A group of G4M Bettys came in to attack from Rabaul. The CAP took care of most of them, some leakers got through a damaged ...

<t>Same for me as for Spooky. I installed the patch last night and ran a save game from Scn#17. I was playing as the allies and prior to the patch install, had been building an airfield on Lunga. At the start of the game with the patch, it showed the airfield as 87% complete or so, a few turns later ...

<r>Same here. In my most recent go at scn#17, I have sent no less than three S-boats to harass the Japanese shipping at the Shortlands. There have been no problems like what you have run into although this is a vs. AI game instead of PBEM.<br/>
<br/>
The Shortlands have proven to be a target-rich ...

The Fog Of War can be misleading when enabled. It is one of the more realistic ways of playing a wargame in how it is implemented in UV. What you see in the combat animations and the after-action combat reports are what your forces <I><s>[I]</s>claim<e>[/I ...

<t>The system manufacturer may or may not be the issue here. There are numerous instances of Win ME not working and playing well with some games. XP is generally solid however.<br/>
<br/>
As with most issues like this, the old adage is to make sure you have the latest drivers and make sure there are ...

<t>I too have a mid-range speed Dell 733mhz with an Nvidia GeForce 3 Titanium card and have only experienced a lockup on the initial launch of a scenario, tried to launch it again and it worked fine. No in-game lockups or crashes however. The drivers are out of the box. This is a PNP Nvidia GeForce ...

<t>I agree as well. I know from experience writing code that when you are adding code to fix one thing, the very act of the code changes can open doors for potential bugs that were closed before. Be patient. The main structure and code base for this game is very solid, especially when you consider ...

<t>Same here, I moved an entire Aussie division via transport from Noumea to Luganville via two squadrons of C-47s.<br/>
<br/>
I have noticed a little less "flak bursts" in airfield attacks, but since PM was still shooting down or damaging a fair number of attacking G3s and G4Ms, nothing has stood ...

<t>That's a great idea. It sure would help make decisions easier at bases that are getting low on supplies and it might take a while to get more supplies to the base. <br/>
<br/>
If you know the airfield is almost complete, but the port size increase is still quite a ways from being completed, you ...

I have not seen this and I bombed the daylights out of Lunga with a two CV Task Force to soften up the ground forces before landing my invasion units. I launched my strikes from a point 3 hexes away from Lunga directly to the SE in order for the TBDs to be in range.

Nice work. Well done!

<t>In the few surface to surface actions that I have watched after the patch installation, the shots are exchanged in a more realistic fashion, spread out among the available targets. <br/>
<br/>
Having said that, it is logical if you are a surface force commander and you get into a battle with an ...
