I'd like to get a pbem game going. Anyone have the time to commit to a new venture?

I've no strong preference for side. I do like the idea of a longer scenario, though.

Reply with your thoughts/ideas if you are of a mind and ready for a game.

<t>If Tojo is sending in nightly bombardment TFs then just send in your own , , , even if there are no Japanese enfantry units to bombard. Your ships will go to the hex designated and often engage in surface combat with enemy forces attempting to do the same thing.<br/>
<br/>
Be careful about ...

The TF in question never made it to the target hex.

<t>A bombardment TF of mine decided to stop off of my opponents base some 6 hexes away. Needless to say, the TF got plastered by land based air.<br/>
<br/>
This is the second time this has happened to me since upgrading to v2.20. Between the two episodes I've lost 2 CA, CL, and 6 DD sunk; others ...

<t>The patch info sheet said you could just re-name the saves and they would work. This is incorrect.<br/>
<br/>
What you actually have to do is go in and SAVE the games with the new file extension. YOu can do this through XP easy enough but a bit more complicated if you don't have XP. For myself, I ...

Just because MSWs are there doesn't mean they find all the mines, does it? It's a 30 mile hex after all and those small sub-laid minefields can often elude MSWs for quite awhile. At least, that has been my experience.

<t>Why are there TWO line items for the P-39 Airocobra on the aircraft reinforcement intel screen?<br/>
<br/>
Also, has anyone actually SEEN a P-39 group upgrade to a P-40 group? Supposedly this happens yet I've had a P-39 group in Brisbane forever and it still hasn't upgraded to the more plentiful ...

<t>First of all, I read the instructions for the patch.<br/>
<br/>
What I tried to do was rename the saved games. This did not allow access to the games.<br/>
<br/>
Now, instead of saving a pbem game and then renaming it I just tried saving it under your new format. Thankfully, the game accessed ...

<t>I updated to v2.10 this morning. <br/>
<br/>
On entering the game I can get to the saved games screen fine. Then it gets interesting.<br/>
<br/>
First, all the save slots appear empty. Even when I rename the saves as instructed from outside UV the save slots still appear empty on entering UV. I ...

LOL. This is too funny.

Sounds like my 6 year old playing a game with one of his friends:

"...sorry, you can't win because these game pieces really aren't here . . .they're over there! See?".

What a way to run a war.

hehe

<r>I will pick up the gauntlet you have thrown at our feet. Haven't had a good game of chess in awhile.<br/>
<br/>
I've not played on yahoo before so send me an email at <EMAIL email="vja1120@mindspring.com"><s>[email]</s>vja1120@mindspring.com<e>[/email]</e></EMAIL> and let me know whether we're ...

<t>Need a little help here . . . <br/>
<br/>
Does anything upgrade TO the P-40? I have a ton of P-40s in the replacement pool but not a single P-39, P-400 or Wirraway squadron has, as yet, upgraded. <br/>
<br/>
Is there a list somewhere that reveals upgrade paths? I've searched this site for a post ...

If you are looking for a copy then I would suggest checking the links on Matrix' page for dealers overseas. I purchased my copy from a computer shop in the UK (when Matrix was sold out).

<r>Latest turn on one of my pbem games had only a couple of sub attacks on the combat report.<br/>
<br/>
But when I went to the orders phase and started looking around the board I saw an enemy TF near one of my bases. Checking the planes at that base I see that the SBD group there is down to 2 ready ...

<t>I play the Allies and the IJN in the four pbem games I have going presently. I've also got a few completed games under my belt (short scenarios or early victories).<br/>
<br/>
All I can say is, your version of UV must be very different from mine. In my experience either side can clobber the other ...

<r>If it were me, and it has been, I'd park that CVE in the same hex as the airbase losing the planes before actually making the transfer. Yes, this takes an extra turn or two to do but it saves your air group.<br/>
<br/>
If you want a 'fix' so that you can operate the way you'd like to then I'm ...

<t>Hell, everything could be improved to be more "realistic".<br/>
<br/>
But realism is not exactly the issue here. The issue is what game comes closest to the real thing while remaining fun to play.<br/>
<br/>
IMHO . . .<br/>
<br/>
UV > most games<br/>
<br/>
And certainly UV > ALL for the conflict ...

**cheers**

<t>Oooo. I like it, I like it. Nice ideas, guys.<br/>
<br/>
A couple more from me . . . <br/>
<br/>
1) It would be nice to have some way of prioritizing sub targets or eliminating certain targets altogether. Subs generally carry only 3 torpedo loads per sortie and it's discouraging to see one of ...

Already did that, Ross. About 3 weeks ago. You said you couldn't recreate the bug on your machine.

Am curious to see if Erik will.
