Also, if it is a transport TF with supplies or troops still loaded, you cannot disband until they are finished unloading.

all fascinating, yet very few hints as to the usage of the units [&:]

<r> Hey, <br/>
<br/>
I'm new to WITP and war gaming in general but I love reading your AAR. It's interesting because you two obviously have some gaming history together and the posts have a certain personality that other AAR's lack. It's fun and informative to see what kind of strategies you both ...

<t> Did I miss a rule in the book or something?<br/>
<br/>
I port attacked Palau last turn with 6 CV's (heh) from 2 hexes away. My Avengers either launched torpedos and got 0 hits (highly unlikely imo with about 80 attacking), or they launched bombs instead of torpedos.<br/>
<br/>
As I said, I ...

<t> Into September 42 and things are looking pretty good for my allies as we edge into 43.<br/>
<br/>
I'm happy to report that the 27th USA Division with engineer support took Maloelap, despite taking heavy losses during the engagement. Now I'm looking into making some more moves in the area and I ...

<t> Well this is vs AI to clear that up...<br/>
<br/>
I'm having some trouble getting my bombardment TF not to chicken out, using the retirement allowed option. I had a strong bombardment force (5 BB's, 5 CA's, 5 CL's) and 3 CV's in tow, and a good aggressive surface fleet commander, but after an ...

<t> With a whole bunch of newly fixed up BB's at Pearl, I decided to whistle up a bombardment TF and go hit Kwajalein. From previous raids there, I knew (or thought I did) that Japanese air in the area was almost non-existent so since all my CV's were off doing other things, I sent the CVE Long ...

<t> Best tactic I have found so far is to group squadrons at single important bases to gain a numerical advantage (replacements set to on). Dangling some unloaded AK's or other ships in port will attract Japanese bombers - your consolidated air forces will gain experience and can then be dispersed ...

<t> for the Japanese to lose 5 BB's in less than a week during early April 42?<br/>
<br/>
Designed to 'rain on the parade' of the Japanese forces Rampaging through Borneo and Java, Operation 'Thundercloud' was a smashing success: Japanese BB's Karishima, Ise, Mutsu, Hiei and Fuso were caught ...

<t> It's March 42 in my game vs AI and in Burma I've got all my eggs in one basket - Rangoon. Aside from a handful of Indian brigades, baseforces and artillery regiments I've got nearly all my forces in Rangoon. <br/>
<br/>
Base expansion went without interruption during the siege of Singapore ...

<t> Can someone please clear up how the pilot replacements work? I know in the manual it says that aircraft stationed at bases only look for replacements 2 out of 3 days (or something like that) but that aircraft stationed on CV's will look for replacements EVERY day that they are at a base.<br ...

<t> I seem to recall in the manual that climb rate is very important to air combat (duh) and that if on the air combat animation screen it says 'AVG climbing to intercept bombers' it means that they are too high for your fighters to intercept. <br/>
<br/>
So aside from the aircraft (don't remember ...

<t> I'm sure that everyone goes through the same thing as the allies in the early game, but Jap LBA seems to ALWAYS ruin my plans. <br/>
<br/>
There are very few targets (Soerbaja being the only one I can think of off the top of my head) where Jap Bombers fly unescorted (a good opprotunity to ...

Got it, skimmed through that as I thought it was only for ground units.

Thanks.

<t> Just reading the manual (it seems to be about all I'm reading these days) in regards to overland supply.<br/>
<br/>
It states that if a base without supplies is 'close' to a base that has an abundance of supply, the computer will automatically ship supplies overland to the bases that need them ...

<t> Surprise, surprise, just as I'm about to launch my pre-invasion bombardment fleet, with transports sitting loaded and ready to go, the KB dissapears east of Luzon. <br/>
<br/>
It took a few extra turns but I sent the Enterprise and Lexington to Rabaul to harass the increasing enemy activity ...

<t> This is against AI (my first game, want to get used to it before I try to tackle a PBEM game). The KB is currently hammering southern DEI and Java, air search patrols out of Rabaul, Palmyra, Noumea, Suva and Baker Island show no enemy carrier force activity, sub patrols near Kwajalien and other ...

<t> It's is Feb. 8/42 and after a thrilling raid on Truk (CVL Shoho sunk, 70 Japanese aircraft destroyed, multiple transports sunk/damaged, torpedo hit on the BB Hiei at the cost of 20 planes destroyed, 1 torp hit on BB Colorado) the Lex, Enterprise and Saratoga are retiring to my major base at ...

<t> It's Jan/42 and I've managed to slow the takeover of PI by making good use of a small Surface Combat TF (The Boise and Marblehead, with 4 assorted DD's, Houston en route to Sydney for major repair after being torpedoed) and have sunk/damaged an estimated 25 ships. I like to keep my TF parked ...

<t> After a needed restart (*sigh*) I'm solidifying the Pearl - OZ route by building a major base at Canton island, supplying Noumea, expanding Port Moresby, and reinforcing Rabaul. It seems at 3 of 4 locations (and any other expansion points I've considered) I'm always short of support. Is it ...
