<t>True enough. And it is asking a bit much of a game to simulate overlapping impacts and armor degredation. Still, a ship taking almost 200 (more added from the final enchagement, when the 16s started kicking in) shells of 6inch + is pretty tough.<br/>
<br/>
Then again, I think I dropped 47 bombs ...

minesweeping only in friendly bases

<t>Has anyone gotten 'path widened' or any other minesweeping messages while sweeping enemy controled bases?<br/>
<br/>
The second I control the base, and get the mine layout paperwork, my MSW's kick in and sweep like mad. But I could have 10 MSW's in an enemy base hex for a week or more and not ...

Big Guns, small ships

<br/>
While I agree it is a bit unrealistic, I have been thankful when a bunch of MSW or other ...

<t>I believe they use fuel because even docked, they keep their boilers running so they are ready to disembark at any time. If this is accurate, they should use significantly less fuel while docked.<br/>
<br/>
On the other hand, an undocked TF is assumed to be cruising around inside the hex and ...

<r>I haven't yet finished my first campaign, but I'll post some of the things I learned.<br/>
<br/>
The patrol/retire settings are very imporant and differ depending on the type of TF it is. At the very least print out the section that describes the various effects of these settings from the PDF.<br ...
