<t> That's the indication of the task force's current flagship. If there's just one ship in a TF - like in every self respecting sub patrol TF <g>, the ship always is the flagship. If you didn't select a flag officer for TF commander, the game selects the most appropriate commander of the available ...

<t> Hiyas,<br/>

Coincidentally my tracker DB is almost complete - I forgot to import just one turn but otherwise, everything should be there. I did not see such updates before turn 16, but look what I found in my combatoperations.txt file of the same turn:<br/>

I have instructed my staff to find all Messrs. Rutins in our flying cadres. They returned with a whole bunch of them files. Let's see:<br/>

Maj. D. Rutins flies a P-40B at Pearl Harbor, 15th Pursuit Group / 47th Squadron.<br/>

<r> Hello from Vienna!<br/>
<br/>
Sadly I can't really comment on pilot management since I'm just starting to play WitPAE in earnest but am due to find out in a PBEM. <E>:)</E> I'll be posting an AAR thread covering the allied side hopefully this evening, so you're very welcome to participate ...

<r> I usually listen to diverse music - using my mp3 player software running in the background. From classics to rock, jazz to ambient, whatever. But...<br/>

over at the subsim forum, in the Silent Hunter 4 mod section, you'll be able to find a thread where an enthusiast created a really ...

<t> I already envy you all for reading Grotius' thread in the future. I hope my own attempt which I intend to post tonight will draw as much attention, for my commanding ability is as yet completely unproven and I am in dire need of competent staff officers. From here, I bow to my adversary and wish ...

Steel swims in water
from which wood and paint may fly
Be industrious.

Which of course means that devs are all on my team!

Well that has totally sold the game for me!!!1!

Wait, I own it already. [:D]

General note: I am in fact going to make "Small Ship" available on Lulu.com or some place like that. I will need a little time to pull it all together and do some editing, but I'll post something here when it is ready.

Welcome from another long time lurker!

My wife has been introduced to me playing WitP years ago though. Thank god AE looks very similar so I sneaked it past her, hehe.

<r> Great AAR Grotius!<br/>
<br/>
I'm currently involved in getting the japs off the Aleutians for starters, I'm amazed at the added detail, especially the plethora of logs in the save directory, which is brilliant since it saves me lots of work for AARs, hehe. Kiska fell last night, and Attu is ...

Ah! Mundane reasons then. I am a tad disappointed, because I had envisioned a real romantic, gut-roaring reason with a heroic transport plane plunging into a minefield to save a convoy or three, heading into their doom unawares... but I digress.

Thanks!

<r> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
One of my very very few posts in this forum... <E>:)</E><br/>

To counter my anticipative AE pre-withdrawal syndroms, I have recently started a stock game against a japanese AI. I'm doing reasonably well while still assuming some quasi-historical progress. While I was ...

Been away at the sea and tried to get over the Hibiki withdrawal by reading another remarkable book last week:<br/>

In face of your excellent narrative, especially concerned the japanese homelands, I wonder if you read <br/>

<r> I'm only on page 76 of your epic story... But that means I still have about 20 pages to catch up! <br/>
<br/>
I really wouldn't call it an AAR. There must be a more fitting name... like 'epic'! <E>:D</E><br/>
<br/>
Honestly, you are doing groundbreaking work here. When the bookshops are ...

<t> Well,<br/>
<br/>
For what its worth, reinstalling and repatching helped! I reinstalled the game and got the same results - on the second try. For the first try, I forgot to set the realism options. <br/>
<br/>
But now, we can proceed as planned. Sorry for the hiccups, I wouldn't have thought ...

<r> It's Subchaser's map mod, and I also exchanged A_Mission.bmp and A_PlaneSide.bmp. As well as swapping out a few sound files. No other mods that I know of. <br/>
<br/>
But I will reinstall, repatch on my machine at home to be sure. It's not a great loss, but the map mod was much nicer to look ...

<t> I have to confess that I installed a map mod, a sound mod and a couple of other (graphics) changes right before we left for holiday... I'll try to find out what exactly was changed but so far, just a few files in /ART and /SOUND...<br/>
<br/>
Of course, by now I am not sure if that was all ...
