Newbie Question... LCI(G)?

<t> What does the allies ship LCI(G) do? I know that LCI's are used to carry in infantry for invasion forces, but the LCI(G) doesn't have any capacity to carry infantry. So what is it exactly that LCI(G)'s accomplish? Is it something similar to the AGC role? Or are they a guboat version of the LCI ...

RE: Music to taste

I kinda like the stock background music that comes with the game... and my fiance LOVES the mello Japanese flute music. She's said on more than one occasion that she wanted to get a CD full of music like that. I have no clue who did that tune.

RE: PH Strategy

We could get those historical results in just one day if they ever actually flew a 2nd wave like they did historically. In all the 1st turns I've run, I've never once seen a 2nd wave from the KB in the PM phase.

RE: Pearl attack redone

I've yet to single a 2nd attack during the PM cycle in ANY of the turns I've run... I don't know what else to try. I've fiddled with the sq leaders, the orders, the escort %... nothing seems to work. Have you found anything to get you a consistent 2nd attack?

Because of this, I usually only see a random DD or DM (or just a lone PT) sunk... and ...
