It is a combo between my mistake and a little problem with corps commander display.<br/>

I was first combining troops in divisions and then combining (right clicking) divisions to corps commanders, and if you do it that way then Corps Commander ...

Sent 2 files with before and after for Longstreet and Jackson in West Virginia going from 0 to -4 just by ending the turn

<t> One strange thing I noticed about corps commander's ratings. If I get a 7/7 corps commander and I stack him with arty guy with 2/2 and a couple of infantry one stars that complete the remaining 5/5 spots his corps commander rating (on the mouseover popup) is 0 and that is good. I end my turn and ...

<t> Great jub at Perth! It just had to fall shame it took a few extra turns.<br/>

For future plans I would suggest you make your plans in accordance with VP value of targets. Tarawa end even Kwajelin are not hig value targets so don't commit a counterattack there let him have them. First ...

Like I said before we are landing en force at Lingayen hoping to take San Marcelino quickly and storm Clark Field soon after that. Moving from Lingayen to San Marcelino will be off course ...

<t> This is just a quick correction on Pauk's map of Philipines invasion he posted earlier. He got so involved with Burma that he wants to unload 15th Army at Philipines and we all know those guys belong to Burma Area Army [:D]<br/>

After Paras secure Lingayen first wave will unload and it ...

<t> But if I put them on ASW they will not spot enemy TFs? I guess I'll try them on 20000 feet and see if that will help, although I'm out of search planes at the moment...<br/>

Back in UV they were flying at 6000 feet and no TF ever sailed without search planes. In WiTP they are still set ...

<t> In the original example Pauk listed here, I'm the IJN Admiral in question who lost all those float search planes. I'm currently visiting Java for the second time and this time it is even worst.

From what I heard in the support forum (EDIT: look under Combat animations gone) yes you are locked, but just ask Japan to set them ON and then if he doesn't want to sit and watch he can allways press ESC when animations pop up and do it the fast and uninformed way [;)]

Well, I guess if you play with Vary Setup - ON, you should allways put at least some Vals and Kates on Naval primary and a bit more Zeros on CAP. It can very well hurt if you don't as this example shows [:)]

<t> Good news! Second turn after the upgrade and combat animations are back ON.<br/>
<br/>
It seems only time we missed combat animations was when I (japan) opened allied file saved under 1.50 with the new 1.60 version.<br/>
<br/>
We both had animations ON but they were not seen in that ...

<t> Just got info from allied side, he says he didn't do the upgrade and that he also allways had animations set to ON, so I'm even more confused now... If I'm the one who did the upgrade why didn't I see the animations...<br/>
<br/>
I hope the problem will go away after he sends the files back ...

<t> We have a PBEM started under 1.50 and Combat Animations were ON.<br/>
<br/>
Now it seems that Allied side was the first to do the upgrade, and Combat Animations are not there anymore. I'm trying to confirm with the allies if he did upgrade our save to be sure that is the problem, but it has to ...
