thanks that is a big help, I was thinking if the unit had large guns such as 25pdrs they couldnt be transported by air with tier guns.

<t>The U.S. did use steel mats called marsten actually a Brittish invention. However this speeded the finish of a base but the building of a base in the Pacific was far differnt than in europe where the "burn teh High grass, level it out and go" was the norm for a forward field. In teh Pacific you ...

<t>well theere have been many times i have attacked a lone Destroyer or Ap while another group of Aps is offloading Supplies at one of my bases. My planes will hit teh lone ship and report over 15 hits or some occasions after numerous torpedo and bomb strikes the reast of the strike group will ...

<t>I have been pplaying against AI as both US and IJN. I have seen few mine hits from either side. I have had mine fields that were in restricted waters near villa that numberd around 400 mines and had CV groups as well as transport groups move throught hem with impunity. Most times i see teh DD's ...

Well then i will check it tonight if I can and see if i need to post it on another forum. I thought they did. Also is ther any counter to the ENORMOUS Japanese Carrier fleet they have in early Sept. 1942. I have 3 carriers but i have no hope of countering thier massive 6+ carrier group.

Do Dm's need to return to nuomea to load mines? I am wonderign since I think I just had a DM reload from Townsville. But It may have been a matter of he didn't lay them the first time.

<t>to lay mines you ned to tell the ML's to Retire, if you ahve them set to patrol they try to clear mines. <br/>

Yeah according to the 2.3 info MSW's will clear adjacent hexs. It is most vexing. As for replacing the sub, I do not think it will make any differnce since apparently allof my Sub ...

<t>I think you misunderstood my MSW question Feinder. I appreciate your help so far btw. The MSW is IJN, I have laid a Mine field ajacent to IJNS base at Shortland. the MSW is at Shortland and is detecting and sweepng the mine field while staying in the Shortlands hex. My sub is in the hex with the ...

<t>Well, the trouble is the MSW is not entering the mined hex, it is doing it from the adjacent hex which is Shortland. I understand teh Subs thing, I am using the Argonaut to mine the slot. I have been careful to either mine a hex with a sub alread in it. Instead of traversing it with mines in the ...

<t>thanks for the reply. it is not what I wanted to here :p But, it helps. As for teh Subs, they do have plenty of fish, just no one taking shots. I will continue to mine the crap out of the slot and see if increasing the mine field I hae inthe shallows just above Villa from only 120 mines, minus a ...

<t>hey i have a couple newbie questions. I have read this forum and the help texts as well as the manual. I was wondering if since mines are a normal component of the Argonaught, yep i found it, can it replenish them at any port? Also the DMS ships, can they lay mines or are they only sweepers? I ...

How do you get the Argonaut? I have not seen it in any of the scenarios. I have looked for name and Hull numbers, both ss-166 and SM-1 . I can think of many great uses for a sub with 60 mines.
