Re: Looking for an Allied player

I would love to play and can get sometimes more than 10 turns a week. I'm taking a beating in Scenario 2 (lost Deli in India in February 1942 and want to play a more realisitic game while that one continues on.

Re: More Strategy Questions and Garrisons

I may not get to Deli before he does. His northward advance is faster than mine. His shipboard stuff was already in the correct mode for rail, and his airborne folks captured the railheads, so started railing right after landing and he has more stuff near Deli now than I do. So I may not make it to ...

Re: More Strategy Questions and Garrisons

Thanks for the post. Same opponent, similar situation. Lots of information or responses and dealing with the problems this specific IJN/IJA approach causes. I think perhaps this may be outside the opening that most Japanese players will attempt. I'll read this, carefully, but I don't think it's goin...

Re: More Strategy Questions and Garrisons

I play mostly solitaire, but like to play as if the AI opponent is human, and then use the AI to practice for an ocassional PBM. However, sometimes I get a major wake up call against a real human that makes me rethink everything. I'm playing PBM in early March 1942 against a human and have lost most...

More Strategy Questions and Garrisons

I mostly play allied and have failed miserably as Japanese. As Allied I see 10 Division stacks against me in India or China (early war) which I can't manage to do as Japanese myself. My opponent told me how he is able to do it. Don't worry, he says, too much about garrisons early game. After thinkin...

Typo? 31st or 35 PG

As best I can tell the 31st PG (later FG) moved to Europe, whereas the 35 PG was actually in the pacific and contained the 39, 40 and 41 PSs. In the game the unit assigned to the SW pacific (II fighter command early in the game looks to be misnamed). I have been away from the game for some time beca...

Re: Question about Base Forces

I have a group picture of my dad with the HQ and HQ squadron 18th AF Base Group at Wheeler Field taken November 1941 by Schofield Studios. There were about 180 men in the photo for the HQ and supporting squadron. I assome that there were other components of the Base Group than just the HQ squadron. ...

Re: CV Escort as a mission type

I think that CVE missions are not penalized for being in a costal hex whereas other air TFs are. Perhaps someone else can say for sure.

OK....I've bought many of your games. Maybe 40? I love them. But I don't like the new web site, and I can't quite explain why. I just can't find things. And is really bothers me now because I actually need something in it to play WITPAE. I posted something (about Tracker....won't work for me) on the...

<t> Sorry I missed the question above. Yes, I have Java 6 installed. The error message looks like it is generated by Java failing to find the "main program" which I assume means it can't open the save file in the same folder with the other tracker files.<br/> <br/> I suspect it is a windows 11 probl...

Balanced or Not or I suck at the game??

<t> First thing. I hate the security thing when you log on to post. Often I give up after too many fails. This time I got in on my 4th try. My eyesight is OK, but I guess I can't read the thing that screens out robotic logins with the "trash" obscuring the letters. Please Matrix find some other way....
