RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still?

I'm retired, but don't have the time for WitP. That's too bad.

RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still?

UV is a much more enjoyable and playable game than WitP. While WitP has some nice features, it is much too ponderous and slow[>:]. I wish [&o]Matrix would spend more effort on the AI portion of the game.

RE: Nimitz hoards carriers in Pearl Harbor

<r> OK guys. I've started over at May 1. Essentially, back where I was but without any Jap carriers sunk this time; however, I have all the first six of the heavy carriers still in good shape. It's late fall and I've been sending all non-critical ships back to Pearl. But have "dirtied up" (put some ...

RE: Supply - Barges Question

You can fight your war without worrying much about barges (at least if you're American!). Their capacity is so small. Might be critical in some situations. Much easer to send a transport or two.

RE: Nimitz hoards carriers in Pearl Harbor

<r> Thanks Blister! When moving carriers into Indian territory (in range of land based bombers and not expecting Jap carriers), I usually have all my carrier fighters on escort with 90% cap.<br/>
By the way, I usually do better when listening to Richard Roger's "Victory at Sea" very loud ...

RE: PT boats

Thanks guys. In my first and only encounter using PTs so far, I ran into a Jap force of cruisers and destroyers when I was hoping to meet up with transports. Did rather poorly. Oh well. There is next time!

PT boats

<r> As an American player in the long Coral Sea scenario, do PT boats ever become available? If so, about when? If not at the beginning of the game, how does one know when they become available? Also, the instructions on PT boats aren't clear to me.<SM sm="crazy.gif">[sm=crazy.gif]</SM> Can you help ...

RE: Nimitz hoards carriers in Pearl Harbor

It says "low." Is sending back screening vessels, e.g. destroyers, the only way to raise this to "high" or must I send back almost everything to Pearl? This game is so (too?) deep!

Nimitz hoards carriers in Pearl Harbor

<t> [:)]I've neutralized the Japanes carriers, occupy southeast New Guinea and Guadalcanal, and have six divisions ready to invade Rabaul. However, I have only three fleet carriers when I need about six to hold off Japanese land based bombers. However, Nimitz won't release the repaired or new fleet ...

RE: Another go?!

Transfer an army base unit from Brisbane as soon as you have more than one there: within a couple of weeks or so of the game start.

RE: Most devestating turn in UV I have ever seen

<t> My SOP for May 1 scenario was to load up Port Moresby with fighters and medium bombers. This would usually sink 1 to 3 Jap carriers when they came down to support Gili Gili and Buna invasions in early May. This then gave US a significant carrier advantage earl in the game. However, after my ...
