I just fired up the game again! it's been a while, and I have v1.5 - Is there an incremental or comprehensive patch to get me to v1.8x ? Is it even necessary? I don't use the editor, but wanted to be sure I had the latest updates and enhancements!

Thanks!

Thanks!!!

<t> I'm returning to the game after a couple years (playing other quality matrix games!) and I have version 1.50. <br/>
In order to update to the 1.806 version, do I need to do an incremental update? or can I update directly with the new patch/version download? <br/>
<br/>
thanks for your help ...

checked my graphics drivers and everything is updated, and it's still happening...

I'm on a pretty solid/quick Toshiba Satellite Laptop with plenty of speed. memory, etc...

Don't know if anyone else experiencing this...

thanks again for your help!

Thanks!

I'll give it a shot...

<t> The small animations (flags, fires, etc) and some of the button graphics have square "ghost" borders around them. For example, a round command button doesn't show on it's own, you can see the graphics file square border around it. Ship graphics with flags flying and decks burning also have this ...

having basically won the war at this point... I'm going for points...

as for forming a CV death star... would still suggest keeping the TF to 15 ships?

<t> since I have all my CV's intact and deployed, I'm thinking of using long-range bombers from Okinawa (next on the invasion list) and Bonin to take out Japan's airfields... then move in the carriers to bomb industry...<br/>
<br/>
whattaya think?<br/>
<br/>
and I'm also taking ports on Borneo ...

then basically invade the crucial bases/ports to gain the most points and like you say, bomb everything!
I'm already hitting Hong Kong & Singapore... so maybe just keep mixing up the bombing assignments?

<t> <br/>
just asking our panel of experts... <br/>
I'm finishing up my first full campaign... it's january '44 and I've got long range bombers on Bonin ready to hit Tokyo<br/>
<br/>
considering that the entire Japanese navy is now gone, their bombers are scarce and most of their LCUs are in ...

wow... never knew that! (Stupid look upon ma face)

I always thought that fuel was for sorties and supplies/support for repairs!

<t> probably in the manual, but I couldn't locate it...<br/>
<br/>
I'm assuming it's an automatic transfer, but how can I get fuel to an inland airbase???<br/>
<br/>
Playing allied side... have Manilla, Legaspi, etc... everything's loaded with fuel and supply, and I've moved a ton of a/c to ...

<t> I was lucky enough to take and hold Rabaul & Kav by the end of 1942 (full campaign) and after almost a year and a half of aerial pummelling and a complete cutoff from the empire (anything that tries to get close get's eliminated) I tried to land a bunch of troops there... bad idea. just the ...

"not giving supply to the LCU" can mean a couple things.<br/>
<br/>
1. Even tho the LCU screen will indicate that a specific LCU might have zeros supplies, I <I><s>[i]</s>believe<e>[/i]</e></I> that all calculations for supply usage are based on the ...

I read in the manual that PT's, Subs and Destroyer Tenders also aid in ship repair...

anyone see this happening????

so... jokes aside... har...

best used as a ship repair port-enhancer? or is there a role bonus in an invasion force?

how do they enhance the invasion force? the same way as the other HQ's?

and do you know how much more effective the ship repair compared to the repair ships?

what is the best way to utilize Fleet HQ's?

<t> another update on this...<br/>
<br/>
REALLY a game killer at this point... <br/>
<br/>
I spend the first part of every turn re-directing "hi-jacked" TF's...<br/>
<br/>
now they're even coming out of a base that has been captured AND is normally listed as US Navy base, as opposed to Palau ...

ever watch the TV show "Lost" ?

... hmmmmmmm....
