Thing is its true my birtheday really is Friday:)

Hey! Me too. I've taken Thursday and Friday off. Fingers crossed, I'll be picking it up on Thursday. [:D]

If possible, can anyone else post some first impressions?

I'm right on the fence of buying this title, Matrix hasn't let me down yet. [:D]

Gorgeous! [:D]

I don't know how I missed this the first time 'round.

If you are still taking names:

Any US ship
Sheely, W.E. L:60 I:55

Count me in, I'll buy it.

I've been waiting for this mod since you started it. I'm glad that Matrix (and you, I hope) can make a little money off it.

I am so jazzed at how well this mod is coming along.

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait...

Shouldn't the I-400s have Paul groups too? Rather than the Glens we are stuck with now...

<t> I've noticed that in-game there's something weird going on, at least for the IJN side.<br/> <br/> Land-based reinforcement groups do indeed draw planes from the pool, and get 'free' pilots equal to the number of planes drawn. The displayed strength on the intelligence screen prior to arrival is ...

I had a Do-24k slip through Akagi, Kaga, and Ryujo's CAP and plant a bomb on Akagi that started a fire which wound up sending Akagi back to Tokyo for repairs for about a month.

The AI Dutchies finest moment. [:D]

<t> If you move an HQ unit to where they are at, this will draw supplies to that point.<br/> <br/> The supply routine makes the assumption that the 'hot' zone is where your HQs will be.<br/> <br/> I believe a base with an HQ will attempt to maintain 25k above what's normally required, provided the s...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Oznoyng<br/> <br/> Very short sighted of you. The 30 odd Oscar squadrons are going to kill alot of pilots that would live in the Tony or Tojo. Reducing Japan's pilot attrition rate is a function of what plane they are flying and how they are used.<br/> <e>[/quote]<...

<t> Sounds like you did exactly the same thing I did. Perhaps I got lucky.<br/> <br/> Regardless, I agree that the 'extra' damaged planes in the starting Nell/Betty groups are annoying and create more micromanagement than I would prefer. I'd be happy if these spare planes were removed, or more pilot...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: bradfordkay<br/> <br/> HawaiiFive-O's post indicates that there is no retooling period.

<t> No worries, glad to help.<br/> <br/> I don't think I can help you on the other thing, I haven't experienced the problem you are having.<br/> <br/> The excess damaged Bettys/Nells do suck out my replacement pilots, but I've never had plane replacements go to a squadron I've set 'No Replacements' ...

Ahh, OK. This might be it.

Acceleration costs triple, pg. 184 in the manual.

<t> I've been doing a test game as Japan, and I have to agree with Oleg.<br/> <br/> The system is quite powerful, and a definite advantage for the Japanese if used properly.

No worries. I'm unwinding after a very long day at work, and I just re-read what I wrote and it actually came across far more curtly then I wanted.

Suffice to say, load supplies on AKs, you'll get far more bang for your buck. [:)]

<t> In this case, those are APs, not AKs.<br/> <br/> APs carry supplies less efficiently than AKs.<br/> <br/> APs consume 3 capacity per supply point, so a 3k AP loaded with 1,000 supply = 100% capacity.<br/> <br/> I do know that there is another bug that Frag has mentioned wherein the calculated lo...
