Agreed. Fingers crossed that there are no delays!

<t> I didn't get the impression he considered himself an expert on it. And at the risk of being argumentative, he stated:<br/>

"BTW, the sentence about mechanics didn't necessarily speak to CoG."<br/>

Not crystal clear, I agree, but the clear implication (at least to me) was that the ...

<t> I went over to the wargamer forums to take a look at what he said. His post clearly states that the 10 minute term comment is not specifically aimed at CoG. It also appears he just got a copy of the game and hadn't read the manual thoroughly. Not trying to defend him, just trying to clear up the ...

<t> My experience as the Japanese in a PBEM game has been quite different. Nates, Claudes and Oscars don't seem to have much luck against the B-17s. The only success I have had against them has come when using Zeros. Also, while the B-17 did have a large number of defensive guns, there were angles ...

I have observed this problem as well in my PBEM game. Every base in Malaya is assigned to the Burma HQ despite the fact that all bases were captured by LCU's assigned to the Southern Army command. That includes Singapore, which was captured when the SA command was one hex ...

Very interesting test.

FYI, page 187 of the manual states:

"Ships in a hex with an AR ship and a base will repair faster."

So it appears that it doesn't have to be in the port itself. Perhaps this is an error in the manual?

The 47mm AT gun can be moved and airdropped but I think only one Japanese plane can do it (can't remember which one but its the one with the biggest load capacity). As for bringing paratroopers back, I think the problem comes with picking them ...

"Automatic upgrade". The computer very helpfully decides that the start TOE, which includes 37mm, is no good. So it upgrades (read: replaces) them with 47mm. The 47mm is to large to be transported by air. No AT for you!

Seeing the same thing in a PBEM game. I have about 30 Nates set at 90% in Brunei, and shipped in some heavy AAA. Doesn't seem to effect the Dutch recce planes, if there are ships in the hex (docked at port) they will hit them.

<t> I am having the same problem in my v1.21 PBEM game. Thirty-some days into scenario 15 and I have yet to see a fragment from a transferred unit rejoin its "parent" automatically. In prior games against the AI (pre-ver.1.21) the fragments would move and combine automatically. BTW, the fragments ...

Entry into Hex is not tracked so escape from hex is by supply path.<br/>

You can use *anything* to block the hex, it does not have to be a combat group ... could just as well left a Base unit sitting there that would move into VP as ...

By slowing down one of the two units heading there, you will kill the unit. If they both move, it will have a retreat path.<br/>

<t> I too have seen wierd and frankly disappointing retreat results. Most notable is the base force at Victoria Point. Despite the fact that the Japanese (me!) control Songkhla and Moulmein, the unit invariably retreats towards Moulmein. To add insult to injury it retreats INTO the hex I advanced ...

<t> It appears to have worked, the game starts and I was able to begin messing around with the tutorial. Starting a Red Barricades ASL campaign tomorrow so I can't go indepth with this just yet, until my ASL opponent starts work on Monday. Thanks for the fix! [:)]<br/>

Oh, I should have ...

The SS serial# fix worked here too. Thanks!

I did indeed include the dashes in the key, and double-checked the numbers against the ones in the email I recieved.

<t> When I tried to install my first DD of Starshatter I received a CRC error and messge that the data was corrupt. So I downloaded the program again. This time I received no errors during install. However, when I attempt to run the program I am informed that my CD Key is incorrect and must re ...

Thanks for the prompt response. I guess I'll play Starshatter for a bit and check back later [:D]

<t> I just completed the DD and install, which seemed to go smoothly. Unfortunately I am getting the Fatal Error 772 message on the loading screen. I tried turning down sound hardware acceleration, and renaming the sound folder, to no avail.<br/>
