NOTE TO ALL JAPANESE PLAYERS[/b]: if you want train your Taiho ac groups and try to hide them in other Zero groups you should upgrade training airgroups to A6M3 earlier - lets say about a month earlier<br/>

<t> IIRC, it was tested by Doktorblood (sp?) long ago (can't remember the thread): RD don't need HI nor engines.<br/>
Basically, when you do "research" you are just building your plants in advance. You don't pay more (supplies) than you would pay anyway, but you pay in advance. And you may be ...

<t> I expected such counter attack that's why I was trying to leave the hex and organize my defense on the other side of the river. The only result after three days of travel was an increase of fatigue from the 20-30 to the 50-60 ,for only 50 miles traveled , and finally this unexpected shock attack ...

An easy test would be to place a Japanese unit and an allied unit adjacent on a rail line. Give them orders to march into each others hex and my guess is on the turn the units are set to move, only the Japanese unit will move. It ...

<r> Land movement is still a deep mystery for me, but I'm not sure it works this way.I started a thread about that ( Who moves first? )<LINK><s>[link]</s>http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1135414<e>[/link]</e></LINK>. It would be very annoying if Japan had such kind of advantage.<br ...

<t> Has Japan any kind of advantage during the land movement, like moving first and creating ZOC who will then disturb allied movements ?<br/>
My oponent and me have seen some strange things concerning movements (AAR Nemrod Vs Jim, great reading[;)]), and are looking for an explanation.It looks ...

<t> I'm not completly sure, but I believe units are maintained automatically on shock/deliberate attack till they reach 50 disruption .So, some stronger or fresher units can continue attacking automatically while others switch to defense even after a 0:1 result .But most of time it will revert to ...

<t> Only the comparison of disablement and disruption between the units with artillery and the ones with no artillery can tell you if you are in the case I told you. <br/>
Anyway, never switch directly to bombardment. Put your units on defense first and then on bombardment.I forget it from time to ...

PRECISELY! The tank unit is on defense as it should be after shock attaking ALONE and being highly disrupted.What's important is to compare disruption and ...

<t> Mantill, what you describe seems to be exactly the situation I was speaking about. Check your tank unit, it ignored you bombarment ( no artillery)order and stayed on shock attack. The other units were doing bombarments and probably haven't suffered much casualties. But your tank unit should be ...

<t> I see a contradiction in the way the game considers training.<br/>
On one hand you have the training function. You can train up to 60, so the game considers you can't get more than 60 exp without combat. Fine.<br/>
BUT!<br/>
On an other hand you have trained pilots introduced into the pool in ...

Be carefull with eng units and all units with no artillery. When you switch all units from deliberate or shock attack to bombardments, these units, having no guns, don't bombard and stay with deliberate/shock attack orders.Are all your units concerned by these automatic attacks?

Let us not forget that not all Betty/Nell bombers that attacked Z-Force carried torpedoes - many of them carried bombs (i.e. it was not 100% torpedo strike)!<br/>

<r> I voted for #1. Tell me how to keep my supplies at the base I want them and I may vote for #2.How can I keep the supplies I want in say the defensive line Rangoon, Moulmein, Tavoy? Every LCU or squadron move between these bases or even between Mandalay and Myitkina causes erratic ( for me) moves ...

Attacking engineers can reduce forts even at 0 to 1 odds.Can they counter this reduction when on defence? In other words, is it a good idea to put combat eng. on a base you are defending expecting they will help to slow down the fort level reduction?
Thanks.
