<t> No. I accomplished this before the appearance of the Kamakazi's. Now, it's too late, there are no bases close enough for the Japanese to ferry planes into any of the bases mentioned. Besides, I've subdued the Phillipines(except for North Luzon) and have just landed on Okinawa. The Japanese have ...

<t> I mentioned in another thread that I was employing the Nimitz strategy. This involves bypassing the Solomon Islands and the New Britain peninsula and (although I didn't do it) the Phillipines. <br/>
<br/>
The following is a list of of the bases and troops that are cut off and starving:<br ...

Yes, they do, and yes, they hurt.

<t> I couldn't bring myself to do it. As you said, Captain, I didn't really trust SIGINT about Formosa and the supply columns would have to pass through an area covered by LBA from both the Home Islands, Okinawa and the PI.<br/>
<br/>
One consequence of the Nimitz strategy is that, although there ...

<t> Just for kicks I began a game using the "Nimitz strategy". Admiral Nimitz wanted to bypass the Solomons and the Phillipines, take the north coast of New Guinea to keep Rabaul and Truk subdued, take the Marsalls and the Marianas and move directly on Okinawa.<br/>
<br/>
Well, except for Okinawa ...

<t> I'm attempting to find the optimum means to defend an island with a max airfield size of 4 with land based AC against attack from the sea. Of course fighters are needed and some means of striking back. <br/>
<br/>
I've tried pure fighter defense (F4-U's) but the Naval air squadrons are only 24 ...

<t> I currently have 2 COE units in San Francisco. I also have, in port, 4 West Point transports. They hold 250 and are ideal for transporting Engineers and Seabees because they're fast.<br/>
<br/>
Unfortunately, all 4 transports are in one group. <br/>
<br/>
I'd like the ability to split AP ...

<t> Well, after trying a few things I think those prima donna B-29 jocks feel like THEY should pick the targets and prefer bombing rice warehouses in Nagoya to real fighting. I fixed them though. They're currently flying b-24 Liberators out of Manila and they do what they're darn well ordered to do ...

<t> It is late Nov. 44 and I have 5 B-29 squadrons at Saipan, 5 on Tinian and 5 on Guam. They're all protected by a squadron of P-51's. The bases are all well supplied. There's just one problem - They Won't Do Anything!! I wanted them to bomb Iwo Jima land units when I sent in the Marines but ...

Correction to my original post: It's August 30, 1942, not 43.

<t> Hi everybody - And Merry Christmas to youall and hopes that the holidays find you and yours in good spirits!<br/>
<br/>
Now, for the serioua stuff. After having been away from pacWar for several months, I started a game with the thought that I'd try a few new techniques. I started being more ...

Hi all - I just bought a new computer and want to download WIR. I couldn't find it, although PacWar was on the download list. Any help?

I got it going, Thanks bradk!

Thank you, Capt. I downloaded DosBox and have struggled with it. I guess I don't understand what I'm doing. I have PacWar in it's own folder c:\PacWar but I can't seem to make DosBox find it. Any (very simple) suggestions?

Steve

Hi guys -

Just bought a new computer with Windows 7. PacWar will not play on Windows 7. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi everyone -

Skip - Maybe I missed it but do you have Nukes?

<t> Skip - I read it. I've learned as much following the AAR's as I did from the rulebook.<br/>
<br/>
I'm curious though, I thought TBM's and TBF's were identical and always wondered why they were separated in the game. The only differrence was that one was built by Grumman and the other by ...

<t> Hi all - <br/>
<br/>
For the first time I am playing as the Japanese. It's December of 43 and I think I've done pretty well. I hold all of Australia, all of Burma and the all coast and am ready to attack Trincomalee and Columbo. I've sunk 7 American CV's and 12 battleships and have 3 Marine ...

Jomni -

You can also set the cursor on the group at sea and use CREATE TF function to take the damaged ships out of the current TF so they won't slow it down. In fact, I just had this happen automatically.

<t> I think I've run onto a bug I've never heard mentioned before.<br/>
<br/>
I hold (as US) Legaspi, Panay,Samar,Manila and Mindoro. The Sixth Army is heavily engaged at Clark Field. The Eigth Army is in Mindoro waiting to invade Bataan.<br/>
<br/>
To soften up Bataan I sent two bombardment TF ...
