I ordered on 7/2 and am still waiting. DR said they've reshipped, but nothing's showed up yet. I'll never get cd on demand again.

That's right. The order page gives you pretty much no detail on when, if ever, your cd will arrive. There's ...

And I'm at 18 days in New Mexico with no disk. I don't mind the digital download model of game distribution, but the CD on demand really sucks. Digitalriver really ought to be shipping these things out within 1 or 2 business days.

<r> Another wish:<br/>
<br/>
It'd be really nice to see secondary mission indicated in the List All Naval Aircraft and List All LBA displays, especially since so many planes are often on Naval attack and performing a critical secondary mission also.<br/>
<br/>
So the wish is either:<br/>
1) add ...

Sounds like you have the base set to "automatic convoy".<br/>
Click on the Russell Island hex to bring up its main base screen.<br/>
In the bottom left corner you see "automatic convoy" in yellow clicicking on it toggles it on/off. make sure its off ...

Ah, many thanks tanjman. So it appears the LSD really is just one type of landing craft. The "dock" in its name and my ignorance had me thinking it might have other bonuses when compared to LSTs or LSVs.

Okay, so I know it's a Landing Ship Dock, but can anyone tell me what they're used for? Are they just another landing craft that can carry troops and supplies or do they actually somehow help other transports unload faster?

With supplies and fuel, it's pretty obvious ... with troops, it is not.

And its non-obviousness is why it would be useful to be able to cancel the load you did, reorganize your task force, and then reload ...

Funny, it made it to Germany before California[X(]. 14 days and counting and i'm still waiting, i was hoping to try it on one of my other PC's while waiting for the sound patch but it looks like the patch might come first[8|]. I wonder ...

<t> I think what's being asked for here really isn't a "global" undo that'll cancel the last input the player entered in his turn. Instead what's being asked for is two things: 1) To have a "stop loading troops" button that works just like the current "cancel loading troops" to allow you to load ...

<r> For the bugfixers: Even though there are no zones since scenarios 3 and 6 aren't full map scenarios, the computer generates new cargo taskforces for me every turn. I can't turn this off.<br/>

I have saves where this happened for 6 and maybe for 3 if this is at all useful. I did have auto ...

<br/>
Yeah, and as I mentioned ...

<t> I've also seen this in both scenarios 3 (Japanese) and 6 (Allies)--computer generated cargo taskforces and no way, since these are not full map scenarios, to make it stop. I have saves where this happened for 6 and maybe for 3. I did have auto-sub ops on in 3, but don't in 6. <br/>
<br/>
I can ...

Thanks for the clarifications.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but setting the training of an air unit to 100% results in the mission being changed to long range CAP.

<r> In the Marianas AAR thread, someone's suggested that ships won't deplete all their ammo in bombardment and will save some for self defense:<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Fallschirmjager<br/>
Another hint. Once your BB's and CA's once their ammo reaches a certain level (for BB's its if ...

There's an AAR on a current Marianas PBEM game in the After Action Reports subforum. There's some info that might be helpful there.

I see, looks like I mistook the altitude for the altitude at which the fighters escort. It's really the CAP altitude when I've selected an Escort mission for the fighters.

Thanks to you both for the help.

I'll give it a shot, might be just what I need. <br/>
<br/>
But I'm also asking if it's unnecessary to set your escorts 2-3K feet above the bombers for maximum effectiveness--the manual seems to say that it's taken ...

<t> I need clarification on altitudes for escorts. I'd always assumed that if you set the altitude for 10K feet, then the escorts escort at 10K feet. If you're bombers are at 15K feet, that's too bad, you'll be flying 5K feet below them.<br/>

But according to the manual, "Flyers flying ...
