<r> Elf himself said back in Feb that he didnt agree with the rule and he had some ideas on how to make it better (last 2 paragraphs). Dont know about you, but I'd like to hear what his plan was.<br/>

When you only have 20 infantry squads, you dont want them going to a restricted base force on the west coast. You want them going to combat units as a priority.

So really, there is no point. Its a leftover from PacWar. The HQ system they had envisioned putting in place didnt make it, so base HQs are purely cosmetic (except as already noted the restricted ones for ...

If an Airfield has too many aircraft (physical space) or groups (administrative) present, then the airfield is deemed overstacked. And is indicated by an ‘*’ next to the airfield.<br/>

You should have a defensive line goal in mind Dec 6th.

Guess the pilots themselves reload the planes [:D]

YH- What about casualties and repairs due to overstack?

I have no idea what the exact formula is. I doubt any of the air guys are going to say either.

Probably better they didnt.

B-17s were the first skip bombers. Due to their lack of maneuverability they gave up the practice, but they were the ones that proved the concept.

<t> Heh, well that makes 2 of us. Unfortunately we didnt get that far in testing to see if the supply and production stuff worked. And frankly it probably would have taken years for us to get to the point where that COULD have been tested, so Im not knocking that. Supplies and resources always ...

No, my understanding is they creep along like little inchworms.

Certainly not in my games. I leave nothing under computer control, ever (unless you count a handful of CS convoys).

Most likely supplies passing through on their way elsewhere.
