<r>Have to second Drex's post. I've seen plenty of capital ships hit mines in undetected mine fields.<br/>

In current PBEM, IJN BB task force on bombardment run to PM, 1BB hit unknown minefield almost certainly laid by The Argonaut and therefore of tiny size. Lucklily the damaged BB's escort ...

Will ships have a make smoke command?

Was done historically in emergency to help obscure ships.

<t>One way to do Waypoints would be to use a similar method to how graphics programs allow you to stretch lines in to curves.<br/>

ie: <br/>

1) Set Destination which displays default path of differently coloured hexes - as is currently the case.<br/>

Howlin' Mad made serious errors of judgement when dealing with his juniors at Tarawa too.

Enough for people who were subjected to the howling to realise he was out of touch with reality and a bully for no good reason or purpose.

Hi mate,

I bought my copy from a shop in London whilst I was there

Haven't checked out many stores in Sydney

I don't know where in Australia it is available - perhaps Raverdave or Luskan can help you here.

<r>Keep an eye on what goes on the shelves - I've been checking over the past fortnight and there have been some beauties.<br/>
<br/>
For less that $5 picked up a well written book that describes in detail all of the military events on a single day in '44. Includes a great piece on Leyte Gulf.<br ...

<t>There's a book sale on in the Hunter Connection.<br/>
<br/>
Some very good books on the campaigns covered in UV and WITP.<br/>
<br/>
Hardbacks down to less than $10<br/>
<br/>
Worth checking over several days as there is high turn over and new books on the shelves each day.<br/>
<br/>
For example ...

<r>Well after a few days in Townsville I found it to be a fine place.<br/>
<br/>
Plenty of WWII military history (see Raver's post above).<br/>
<br/>
Still a busy Port and Army base.<br/>
<br/>
The US Navy has been putting in some pretty impressive ships for some R&R:<br/>
<br/>
USS Tarawa<br/>
<br ...

Thanks Raver, there's a lot of dedication gone in to that site.

I'm going to check out the museums listed.

I'll be based in Rowes bay so will tramp around some of the old site listed in that area.

Wife is 7 months pregnant and needs the excersise!

Going to be in Townsville for a few days.

Anyone know if there's a good military history museum there?

Would love to find out more about the place's role in WWII.

<t>On the last point, be careful when delaying fast transports by setting them to patrol / do not retire and surface combat as the mission.<br/>
<br/>
You may be doing the above to delay the fast transport by 1 day so that they miss an enemy bombardment tf about to hit the destination port.<br/>

<t>Supplying PM whilst it is under heavy Japanese LBA / Bombardment attack is quite straightforwards:<br/>

<r>Situation is this:<br/>

Playing as Allies, Port Moresby in my hands but large Japanese ground force recently landed by transport tf on Port Moresby Hex.<br/>

Japs have started Bombardment Ground attacks on Allied troops holding Port Moresby.<br/>

If I send a Bomber Group on a ...

Roughly room temperature - 24 degrees C would do fine.

Toss a couple of wind up toy sharks in for added realism.

<t>I've heard the Great Barrier reef is worth a look.<br/>
<br/>
No infact I've spent a bit of time there and it is absolutely fantastic.<br/>
<br/>
If he decides on tropical Queensland where it will definitely be warm then your mate will need a few days on the reef either scuba or snorkel.<br/>
