Great. What is the supply situation on the west coast? Is the lack of supply preventing you from having a decent game?

While we wait for the patch, does this mean the most recent patch is not playable as a PBEM game? Does anyone have a PBEM game underway and what is your experience?

Any comments from people on sweep height restrictions or land troop massing? Not more than 500,000 men in a hex?

Which house rules do you insist on to ensure a good PBEM game? I am thinking about another PBEM game in the future and would like to so a survey of House Rules to make a better game.

The overriding rule should be not to do anything gamey, but that is open to interpretation.

Let me know which ...

PM sent.

BBFanboy - I did not know about setting the range to 1, otherwise the TF defaults to ship standoff range. Good to know!

Further to Ranger Joe's response that the infrastructure will not allow sufficient supply to flow to Darwin to support a large garrison, you have a couple of other options if the tactical situation works.

1) Stock up Darwin full of supplies before the base are approaches are closed.
2) Use ...

I would file this under, possible but not likely in the near future. Given how long it has taken to get the latest patch out based on traditional development methods, and the limited potential revenue stream, I cannot see this being a priority for the developers.

If you had buckets of money to ...

Welcome aboard! Others will chime in as well but here are my thoughts:

1) Is it necessary and/or helpful to set up TFs to move supplies and fuel from Eastern US, Eastern Canada, and the UK to Capetown or will they 'magically make it there on their own?
You will see in ship arrivals convoys ...

Time to target when raid was detected was 0 minutes. No opportunity to vector planes to intercept or launch planes ready on stand by. I am guessing the base and ships do not radar yet.

It sucks, but detection is not guaranteed. Radar improves the odds.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting to see launch and recover of float planes as well.

The only adjustment you might make is to convert some armaments factories to Armour. Beyond that, it is the same as allies for squads, armaments, armour etc.
99% of the effort for Japanese production is for R&D aircraft, engines and building aircraft and engines. Tons of management to set it up and ...

My first ever PBEM game (Scenario 1) has reached July 1944 and so I have had some experience with Ki-84r Frank's and N1K1 George (I messed up production so no later version of George until their historical dates).

What has surprised me is the effectiveness of the N1K1 George in air to air combat ...

The short answer to your statement "A game that doesn't run on modern PCs shouldn't cost 80eur?" is I agree, but this is not your typical game purchase.

The longer answer is, despite the barriers to easily start playing with switches and patches to install, it is still a bargain at 80EUR if this ...

Thanks! I have booked marked this page.

I have many air units at a size 9 airbase. For some of the units the option to convert to a Kamikaze unit is greyed out, and for some units Kamikaze conversion is available. Oddly, some of my units of the same plane type (KI-45 KAIc Nick) can be converted, while others of the same plane type (KI-45 ...

I went directly to the source on this one. In this case Deepseek. Very interesting that it suggests "an assistant" to help with the next move might be an intermediate step to assist players in completing their turns.

Here is what Deepseek responds to this prompt.

Most likely reason for planes not performing missions is bad weather at source airfield or target area.
Check the weather.
Double check you have the correct base targeted, planes are set to correct mission etc.

Otherwise, you should see them resume attacks when weather improves.

You are more likely to run out of vehicles than armaments. If I expanded anything it would be vehicles before armaments.
