IMHO, I believe there is a subset of gamers here who would LOVE to see vector-based maps. Damn hard to code for if I understand correctly though. Wish I was a coder, I'd take a crack at it [:D]

I have had only the 2nd and 4th USMC Divs attacking Saipan and had a fortress reduction. SUrprised me. Then I looked into the TOE and noticed that they have organic Engineers. I wonder if the more engineers the higher the chance of a reduction.

Especially beer. Mitigates HSF untill it's no longer relevant.

I also want to be able to have a hot key that will cycle through the taskforces on the map without having to select each one.

pretty sure.....but your right about Turn 1. When i was playtesting the Marianas scenerio i kept having to reset the BB TF to "bombardment" even when set to DO NOT RETIRE.

<r> Strange. I could have swore I saw a screenshot with the correct name for PT-109. I did notice though that it has been missing from the OOB. Haven't really looked for it though.<br/>

<t> Or am I doing something wrong? When I assign a bombard TF it bombards the first turn of arrival and then auto switches to Surface Combat. Tried to set it on patrol and auto replenisgsh with a replenish TF in hex with no luck. Is there a way to make it Bombard until it's out of ammo then RTB?</t>

<r> Oh and one other thing for us newbies. Please add the full name of the ship types to the in-game ship information. Maybe a quick desciption on effective usage would be helpful too.<br/>

I think I can figure out BB and CV but AGC took me a while.<br/>

<t> I've noticed several units forgeting their orders after the turn they are given. <br/>

Example: I create a TF at Eniwetok with 10 destroyers and 4 AKs. Give the AKs the order to load the 2 F and 1 FB AC unit and give a destination of the other Allied base. It appears to take. Run the ...

<t> New observation. I don't think this is working as intended after all. I have 6 SS in Eniwetok. I go to create a Sub Attack TF and choose auto select. "No ships of the proper type can be found". Are we sure there isn't something lurking in the code?<br/>
<br/>
Note also, this only occurs AFTER ...

TY again sir. Posted new topic in General Discussion.

Is there a way to create supply TFs for amphibious attacks that continue to run between the supply base and the beach-head? I would like to create 3-4 TFs that load, travel, unload, RTB, and repeat the cycle.

With the myriad of TF types available and the dozens of possible ship types, how do you all build your TFs? What is the best composition for Air Combat, Surface Combat, etc. for each side?

Thanks, Mr. Frag. Is there a reference somewhere that lists what the minimum recommended TF composition is for the various TFs?

What option do you choose for CV TF AC to make them attack coastal fortresses? I've only seen Port and Airfield attack for CV divebombers/

Cool, thank you! I wondered what the game effect of that option was. [:)]

<t> From first turn in Einewetok, I cannot create any task force with the Auto-Select option turned on. Keep getting the message "Not enough ships of the proper type". This occurs even with the whole Allied fleet in port on first attempt.<br/>
<br/>
Also noticed that it seems to affect the ...

<t> Update: replaced the files as recommended in another thread. Started a new tutorial game as the Allies. First turn task force creation and AC assignment seems to work as expected. After the first turn though, the CTD returns.<br/>

Incidentally, this does NOT occur on my P3 notebook ...

So I'm playing the tutorial as the US. Trying to invade Saipan, but after the first combat turn, my bombardment and CV task forces immediately return to base. How do I get these to remain on-station for the duration of the invasion?
