<t> When I play the most important house rule I suggest is you need to pay PP to cross borders if your command is restricted. It feels like the rule the game engine could not provide.<br/>

I of course have some exceptions, the Thai units, and would like to suggest the Chinese Expeditionary ...

Great AAR, interesting reading

Can I ask where you obtained the ground unit bmp?

<t> Not sure where I read it, but I can recall the advise of not mixing BB and CA, use one or the other. This means as many BB as is feasible and enough escorting DD's. TF composition depends on AA and DC for the DD's and then more often speed for the heavy units.<br/>
<br/>
BB TF's for sinking ...

Do not have a turn ready and working the next few days, I only work 4 days a week but with 10 hour days I will take a few days before I have the first turn ready.<br/>

Did that mean you were not interested?

<t> I guess most people play with PDU on, greater control, ability to manage aircraft better.<br/>
<br/>
I was reading an AAR the other day and noticed the massive Japanese air building program, losing 3 aircraft for every 2 allied aircraft and it was clear this was a great victory and the ...

<t> Have to say while I really like the random nature in much of the game, this feature of targeting ships "parked" at a major base with serious CAP is an issue. I believe the issue is players "gaming" this mechanic, I doubt it was ever considered when writing the code.<br/>
<br/>
I would never do ...

<t> Have to say I am becoming more interested in the non historical starts. Not one of my PBEM games have I ever, as Japan, done anything close to historical damage. In my last game I sank 0 BB's at PH (with 2 days of air attacks), and it took until mid 42 before I captured Singapore. Something I ...

Well, I would have considered a Historical First Turn, but do not think you would like that either.

Thanks

Would you consider AndyMac's Hakku Ichiu Scen002, ported to DaBigBabes system?

It is based on DBB - C with the extra Scen 2 OOB with stacking limits.

Historical First turn off - I am wanting to try a port attack on Manila, not PH.

IRL ships were usually not undergoing major upgrades in some far ports like Noumea... They usually served until damaged and sent home for repairs or until they were sent on major maintenance and rest (once a year or two).<br/>

For the most part no. A few Allied ships had radar but it was the crudest type and not reliable. Almost all were equipped with the 1.1 inch AA as well. I don't think any Japanese ship had radar at this stage and most had pitiful AA armament ...
