Ya its quite frustrating, but it works.

<t> Ya sorry I realised that the two were seperated when I tried to plan a Flags of our Fathers/Band of Brothers type force in North Africa.<br/>
<br/>
I normally play Axis in wargames, and having just jumped out of a German campaign to take a break I was looking at the ready made ones, and the ...

Just wanted to say thanks for the input. The tips really helped me out.

<t> I tend to gravitate towards the Germans in every game I play, so when I went to setup a new game using the US I was a bit......confused? about how to put together an effective core force.<br/>
<br/>
The Force Org is a bit different, as the German OOB is pretty intuitive.<br/>
<br/>
Anyhow ...

<t> Browsed through 15 pages of threads but couldn't find the answers I was looking for.<br/>
<br/>
Playing the long campaign 5/42 Germans focused on the eastern Front. Currently 9/42<br/>

<t> Ya righto. Notice the F4F entry says Hellcats?<br/>

I had P40's within range the entire time my P39 squads (actually closer) to Brisbane while they upped to P38's. There is also a date, was wondering if there was a specific date that the P40's were eligable, or if it was just a ...

<t> P40E's are elgiable the same date the P-39s are to be upped to P-38's correct? There isn't a different date? <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
The OOB 17 has me a bit confused.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
It is too bad the Kittyhawks don't have a upgrade path. The aussies are the backbone of your Air Corps for a long ...

<t> Another quick question: P40E Warhawk ....do they upgrade to P-38's? I had a squad in Townsville resting (japs weren't doing anything) for 3 months. In that time 6 P-39 Squads at various bases upped. The scen 17 OOB states that the P40's go to P-38's. Checking to make sure that is true (same doc ...

I have a corsair squad that just upgraded thats 77 avg (99 highest). That turn I had moved the Long Island into the port to load them up but forgot to put cap up and it was sunk =(

though Corsairs are the killers, and their range allows them to escort missions that couldn't be before.

I had forgotten just how true this was. Below is just obsene. I was strapped too. Had to put down every ...

Are they never intercepted at all? Could have sworn there was a chance any plane flying into an area that has cap could be shot down.

Ya this was just a game related question.

Btw does anyone know what is the maximum base for both east/west sides of the map for P39 - P38's and F4F to F4U's?

Trying to control who is upgraded and when.

<t> I asked in another thread if the P-38's can stand up to the zero, and got a resounding no.<br/>
<br/>
My P-39/P-400 Pilots were nursed and trained on naval targets and 4/6 of the squads that upped are in the 70's avg(74-84). The test so far as been from Buna to Rabaul on sweeps and escort.<br ...

Ya this would be in 2.5. For some reason, I am getting the "Load Only Troops" as the only option sometimes, so its for both. Don't know exactly what is causing it, and its happening for cargo as well.

Ah I figured that if it was a bug maybe it would correctly calculate the AA ratings.

As for before the patch, this is my first game in a long time (2003?). Patched with latest when I started back up. Unfortunatley had it happen both on and off map.

Am I the only one that obsesses over thier pilots? Hurts to lose an ace, kills to lose a 95+ xp Pilot.

<t> I checked the manual before posting. I think my mistake was taking the assult value as losses, instead of comparing like units. The disabled units threw me I think. More than 2 weeks had passed without replacements and I got concerned. <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
AA units that aren't "damaged enough ...

Hrm that could be. I know that they weren't set to follow, but they might be patrol/do not retire. I'll give that a try.

Very irky.

Do you have a technique that will stop them from leaving port before they are fully loaded?

This just started happening in the last 40 turns. Troop convoy's with 50% loaded, fuel TFs with 1/4 loaded and then they steam off to their destinations.

<t> Wonder if you could give me some advice. I forgot to cut Lae off, so the 2+ divisiions I landed had to chase the Japanese and I caught and destroyed them in the hex next door. The good deal of supply I had brought to the Lae invasion got sucked into this beach hex and its hell pulling them out w ...
