My installed version of the game doesn't have any divide unit buttons on the USN fighter, dive bomber and torpedo units.
I was wondering if this is the same situation for other players? If this is something that only I seem to be dealing with can some one suggest a fix?

Any suggestions like key in ...

You tube poster Drachinifel has a new video covering the Royal Navy plans for operations in the Indian Ocean starting in the 1920's and running through till mid 1942. This is the first of a 2 part series that covers operations by Britain there into 1945. It covers a wide range of topics regarding ...

Here is the link for the video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVspaqoOm5o&t=5s

You tube naval historian Drachinifel has posted a video covering the USN raids on Truk during February 16-17 1944.
There is a lot of good map information and photos of the air operations.

Drachinifel has a video posted which covers several outcomes related to the British Eastern fleet being able to
execute their planned interception and night battle with the Japanese fleet carrier group during the Indian Ocean
raid in May 1942. It covers a lot of topics which could be of use for both ...

<t> What is the effect of task force movement on scout plane launch and search results? If their base naval unit is traveling at cruise speed will this negatively effect the ability of scout units to launch and successfully search?<br/>
Should scouting task forces be either moving at low speed or ...

Are you playing with historic East front reinforcements? If so then any roadblocks that could be erected have to be taken from out of the flanking fronts in Belgium and Austria, which is possible only if the rail net is largely intact.

Looking like a potential main thrust strategy south of the Ardennes this time? The rail repair units usually stuck in Italy would be available to get the railways hooked up from from the south up to Alsace, but could this effort be supported without the quick capture of Antwerp?

<t> The last series of posts really underlined the difference of this game with WiTE; namely the smaller number of units available to each side. The area between the Seine and Loire rivers would be roughly the same length as Army Group Center on the east front, but each side fields maybe one half to ...

<t> I wonder if we will be seeing something along the lines of pre 1914 military defensive theory over the next turns. Namely a system of fortified hubs or regions which can serve as anchor points for mobile operations by field units. How a system like this is sited to cover key rail hubs and major ...

<t> What is your opinion about Allied landings on the eastern side of the Adriatic based on the your previous game? Is there a house rule about this being done?<br/>
<br/>
It would seem that the German forces might be stretched thin in a game using fixed east front deployment, but would have more ...

<t> Two areas that would be great to improve in the game:<br/>
<br/>
1. Increased political costs for demoting some of the more politically well connected incompetents such as Butler, Banks or Polk. This would truly reflect some of the problems of dealing with political issues for both the USA and ...

Thanks for the information; I wasn't able to get a clear idea from the game manual, only broad hints as to what blockades were doing to the southern economy.

<t> 1. Do ports actually collect trade resources, or do they only function as recieving points for blockade runners?<br/>
<br/>
2. What exactly is a blockading fleet stopping at a port; is it only in place to catch the runners?<br/>
<br/>
3. What is minimum number of ships required in a force to ...

Can proper blue water ships be used in the major rivers? Does it make sense to have shipyards on the Mississippi to produce frigates and fleet containers, or are river gunboats the only ships that can be used there?

<t> Those are good lists providing guidelines for names. Currently I'm doing my own army names, but following the guidelines established by the Union, namely armies are named after major rivers in their areas of operation. Currently I have an Army of the Potomac, Mississippi and Ohio, but I also ...

<t> This game has the whole issue of battlefield "inertia" simulated correctly. Actually getting your troops to move where you want and when you want is never a sure thing; its either bad weather or muddled generals that undo all those creative operational schemes you carefully thought up. This ...

<t> Update on fort defense experiment.<br/>
I increased the values of Monroe and Pickens and fired up an 1861 scenerio under the new Beta update. Pickens was besieged and the first reduction showed a decrease from the 500% value I had applied to 86%. So simply increasing the percentage number doesn ...

<t> Looking forward to that patch even more. But obviously the best Northern mobilization plan has to be worked out. I'm getting more aggresive on musters, and trying to also build units in the most efficient manner possible for some "quality" in the army as a whole. I've read elsewhere that the AI ...
