<r><QUOTE author="Mike Scholl"><s>[QUOTE=Mike Scholl]</s>As you are an Aussie, let's ask the question. Had you been around in 1942,<br/>

It sounds like the Pacific War meeting the Twilight Zone

<t>I see the extent of your problem now. If those ships weren't in the pool then there would be a workaroud to the problem. This is probably a silly notion, but what if those APs in the pool are simply sitting there until the release date of a particular group of APs?<br/>

Hopefully someone ...

<r>The fact that you can teleport (gather) available transport to a base during the orders phase at the beginning of a week, instead of putting these ships in TF and sending them there over a week or two is what makes it S/F. That's the reason that one of the house rule options is the absence of G/T ...

<r>Why is Get Transport so important that it stops a game? <br/>
<br/>
In my current PBEM game, I have elected not to use it. I haven't noticed a great decline in my ability to transport troops. I simply send transport TFs in advance to bases, plus I prefer choosing ships manually. In my view, the ...

I might have to recheck my sources on this, don't quote me anyone

<r><QUOTE author="zed"><s>[QUOTE=zed]</s>Just reading last night what a SOB Howland Smith was on Saipan. <br/>
He relieved Ralf Smith - commander of 27th Division for no cause. It must have troubled his conscience because he wrote many excusatory statements after the war. It almost reminds me of how ...

<t>I had no problems playing PacWar with Windows Me. I could even change missions for carrier air groups with no out-of-memory errors.

<r>Back to the topic of fighters vs heavy bombers - Mogami please keep the test results coming in. Escorted bomber raid results should be particularly interesting, as well as B-29 homeland raids. Need an extra hand with testing or data anlaysis let me know, happy to help. <E>:)</E> <br/>

Sorry Yamamoto I was on the wrong track - thinking Shidens instead of Shindens.

<r><QUOTE><s>[QUOTE]</s><I><s>[i]</s>Originally posted by Yamamoto <e>[/i]</e></I><br/>
<B><s>[B]</s>The Shinden was specifically designed to be a high-speed, high-altitude interceptor and go after the B-29s. I would expect it to do the best of all the Japanese planes against unescorted bombers ...

Whoops, Mogami you are right, the Shidens didn't do as well as expected. Those B-17s are tough nuts to crack, the B-25s didn't fare as well.

This is news =) What exactly are we calling a 'George'

Good question - the N1k1-J prototype first flew in Dec 42. Maybe put those Shidens up against the B-17s instead of the Claudes and see how much better they do.
