RE: Upgrading my computer

<t> Thanks for all the great advice, guys. I don't really need maximum graphics, as long as the game doesn't crash or stutter. I'm basically a strategy gamer who'd like to try some FPS games, so I don't want to spend a lot of money to play games that I might not get into. Right now, my computer is p...

Upgrading my computer

<t> I've pretty much played strategy games, but I'd like to try first-person-shooters. The problem is that I have a four-year-old Dell 2.2 Ghz with 512 Mb, a 40 Gig HD and an old Geforce MX420 card.<br/> <br/> I'd like to spend no more than $200 to $250 to upgrade. I figure I don't need a new comput...

RE: Neutrality?

<t> The problem with alternate history is that it tends to be very selective. I'm a paper wargamer at heart, and I used to encounter this all the time, especially with the Wehrmacht worshippers. They'd say, "Hitler could have taken Moscow in 1941, so we need to add house rules to make Germany more p...

Neutrality?

<t> I'm playing Japan in a Scenario 7 PBEM game with neutrality rules (only the U.S. starts at war with Japan). My opponent's Philippine fleet raided the Pescadores, took some damage, and retreated to Chinese-held Amoy. Now his ships have disbanded in Amoy port. <br/> <br/> If this was genuine neutr...

Lazy Japanese Production

<t> I'm playing the Japanese in the 1943 campaign game (your condolences are appreciated). I haven't played the Japanese in WITP before, and I don't really feel like fiddling with the production, even if it gives me less than optimum replacements. But I assume I can't leave production on autopilot, ...

Anyone for a 1943-44 scenario?

<t> I'm getting bored with the early scenarios. I can understand why they're popular - the Japanese actually have a chance to win. But part of the fun of wargaming is learning history, and I'd like to learn more about late war period (not to mention the chance for both sides to use their best aircra...

Campaign #42A Bug?

<t> I'm playing a campaign 42A PBEM. I notice that my main ports (Karchi, SF) do not have a slash to the right of their supply numbers like they do in scenario 15. It seems like these ports are getting much fewer supplies in Scenario 15. I've been loading a lot of convoys, but now SF has fewer suppl...

Japanese player for '43 PBEM?

<r> Any Japanese players brave enough for a '43 PBEM? I'm already playing the Allies in Scenario 15, and it will take forever (if ever) before they have a chance to strike back.<br/> <br/> If no one is interested in this, I'll understand. The scenario is probably heavily unbalanced against Japan. I'...

RE: Why won't Allied subs attack?

<r> Some subs are set to computer-control, some aren't. Either way, they don't attack. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the PBEM bug that resets the Auto Sub Ops button to OFF. I can't remember if it was initially set to ON, but I have to manually set it to ON every time I start a PBEM tu...

RE: Why won't Allied subs attack?

<t> Maybe he's doing lots of ASW, but you'd still expect my subs to make at least one attack. And if ASW is so effective, then why are Japanese subs killing me around Pearl? I have four multi-destroyer groups running ASW, plus several squadrons of Catalinas and bombers (I set their altitudes at 1,00...

Why won't Allied subs attack?

<t> It's January '42 in a Scenario 15 PBEM. I don't think my Allied subs - of any nationality - have attacked once. I've got subs all over the East Indies that are not doing anything. Japanese subs have sunk more than a dozen Allied ships. <br/> <br/> Could it be because the Auto Sub Ops button keep...

We need a "Select All" button

<t> Instead of having to click 20 or 50 times to select ships for a large TF, could we have a "Select All" button that would assign every ship in the TF Formation Screen to the TF? More often than not, I assign every ship in a port to the same TF. But if there's 20 transports and 5 escorts, I have t...
