<t> I have played the original CC3 and finished a campaign as Germany. <br/>
<br/>
Now, with the new game, I started a grand campaign with the Soviets. <br/>
I had very few points, so I purchased an infantry squad + an MMG. <br/>
<br/>
First battle, I decided to defend a bridge at the bottom of ...

<t> I am the opponent of Ursa in this game. First I thought that he did not have any reaction set. But this was not the problem. The real problem for him was that I spotted him, but he did not spot me. My CVs were around Lunga and remained unspotted for about 6 days! <br/>
<br/>
This is Andrews ...

<t> Those APDs are great! Most have an ASW value of 10. What I do is I organize my ASW groups around a DD + an APD. Then add more PC/MSW/PG types to the TF. Good leaders also help a lot. Of course having a lot of AC on ASW at 1000 helps a lot in spotting those subs.<br/>
I also like to add an AV ...

<t> It would be much easier to implement if Naval attack would not attack ships at bases at all. If you want to attack ships at base, you could use Port attack and if you want to attack ships at sea use Naval attack. <br/>
Of course this way Port attack would target docked and not-docked ships as ...

I dislike consoles in general, but I am thinking about getting a Wii. It would be nice to have a golf match in front of the TV instead of watching some silly series. I also spend a lot of time in front of the computer and getting some exercise along with some entertainment sounds pretty good.

<r> Video games inducing violence is a myth. If anything, video games let you release your anger and aggression safely. <br/>
<br/>
More and more evidence points to hunting as much bigger problem. People should not teach children to kill with a gun. <br/>

I am using FF 1.5 (though I think I will upgrade quite soon to 2.0). Have not met any site that did not work with it.
For Office stuff, there is OpenOffice, does most of the things MS Office does, but for free.

Play Guadalcanal scenario against the AI first (either side).

Tweaking the PH attack: by all means set primary mission for all bombers to naval attack in case the enemy CVs show up. You can also send PH and hit another port (Singapore or Manila), just agree with your opponent before on this.

<t> You can test it out easily by running the first turn in hot-seat mode. I also test the 1st turn in PBEM games, to check that all TFs get where I want them. <br/>
<br/>
There is one VERY important trick: TFs must be idle and not loading anything, otherwise they will get nowhere. When you load ...

GIMP is nice and it is completely free. It is not harder to learn than Photoshop and there is also a mod that makes it work/look like Photoshop (if you already know PS).

Looking good!

Guadalcanal really is the only scenario that is close to being balanced. Allies have LBA advantage while IJN has CV advantage. AC replacements for both sides are quite low, so this make players cautious, which is a good thing.

If you have the BFC version, then you have to wait a bit...
For the Matrix version there are no patches yet.

You may be able to do it by altering the picture file, but I doubt that you can make it transparent.

<t> Playing allied early on can be fun. You must delay the enemy wherever you can. Let the japanese get over-confident and reckless then hit back. Change your tactics, change where you defend and try to cause as much trouble as possible. <br/>
If you just run away and hide, then you will get into ...

<t> I use only webmail and it is good, harmful content will not be downloaded to your computer. Most hava a built-in virus and spam filter. When you reinstall windows, you do not have to migrate your inbox. You change your provider, you still keep the email address - numerous advantages... <br ...

It is bug, nothing you can do. Strafing was said to be causing this, but I have seen it happening without strafing. IMHO this totally ruins the experience as Allies...

Thank you, this was useful!

Sorry, but both of you are somewhat off in this regard. First of all it is positively confirmed that at Midway none of the sunk carriers received any mentionable flood damage, including Akagi which suffered a near miss hit at her rudders ...
