<t> As above.<br/> <br/> On my XP machine, CMOPS game won't start (get screen resolution pop up, then dies) Other programmes OK<br/> <br/> On Win7 machine, can only start estab editor.

<r> Why annoyed - hey, it is 1945 and he is only able to pull off Doolittle type raids?&nbsp; At great risk?&nbsp; Cool!<br/> &nbsp;<br/> To me the problem is fundamental flaw of a<SIZE size="2"><s>[size=2]</s>symmetric game design. By giving one side strategic as well as tactical option...

Do you get Tigercats at least? Yes, seems odd that a game that can end 1946 doesn't have Bearcats/ Sea Furies/ Meteors

You are doing well!&nbsp; Heh, I've only been using easy/ medium to get used to the game.&nbsp; And I've fallen in love with flamethrowers...

<r> Pistols are later on for training rookies that don't have strength for plasma/ion/akew etc. rifle.&nbsp; Giving them a ion/plasma pistol and some plasma grenades means they can contribute...<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Vehicles, nah, use them for base defense only<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Extra troops ...

Eek, what happened to the RN?&nbsp; Sent out without CAP?&nbsp;

Doubt it.&nbsp; The key weapon of the Rufe is the laughter it induces in the Mustang pilots, causing them to lose concentration...!

<t> Wow - while I have reservations about the internal consistency of the mod (check out Iron Storm for a well done alternate history mod, basically Operation Matador and a BB focus) it certainly has been entertaining!<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Hmm, maybe a "hell in the pacific" version would be fun (giv...

<t> Exactly - a problem with phantasy mods/ games like this is that the Japanese have full control over strategy, whereas the Allies don't.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> If Hawaii fell in early 1942, I can't see the USA continuing with Europe First, at the very least putting much more effort into the PTO unt...

<t> Nemo, in your opinion, would US still go ahead with Torch/ Husky if Hawaii fell, or would they switch those resources to PTO?<br/> &nbsp;<br/> I would see strong pressure to postpone the second front in Italy (especially with USSR neutral in the PTO) until Japan is at least contained and ful...

<t> Yes, or an alternative where the US and UK, annoyed with USSR for not going to war with Japan, decide that after N Africa it is more important to knock Japan out of the war, rather than open second front in Italy.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> So resources from Operation Husky (10 divs on a seabourne ass...

<t> Heh, a "rational" Japan just wouldn't attack the US, but continue grabbing colonies from China and the Europeans...&nbsp; Or just blackmail the Dutch into sending rubber and oil.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> What if you start with Japan at war with China, and striking south vs the CW and Dutch (as t...

<t> LOL - did they give Zeke kamikaze pilots high altitude suits and breathing systems...?&nbsp; Yes, hi-lo would have been an attack profile (to avoid the picket ships I suppose) but by high - 15-20k would be my guess.&nbsp; <br/> &nbsp;<br/> Surprised Zekes could could that high - serv...

Yes, 127 men would be a below strength company, and either Captain or Major. British Army ranks tend to be one lower than US at bn level (e.g. commander of a battalion in UK is a Lt Col, vs a US Major)

<t> This is a very good scenario (to play as CW)&nbsp; First time, I got humiliated by the AI!&nbsp; I was so intent on flank protection, they just blew down the main road, and I was almost completely cut off.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Second time round - yes, tried to blow the bridge but had put...

Well, didn't mean you (or him, if it isn't you) died, but that he stopped posting - no need to go into why!&nbsp; Your style & approach seem similar.&nbsp; Remember some long threads on manoevre vs attrition.

Hmm, not the late Fionn from BFC...?

<t> Given "Matador" - shouldn't it the British making the first strikes?<br/> <br/> (The CW planned defense of Malaya was to attack the Japanese bases in Thailand, probably pre-emptively...)<br/> <br/> Or are you assuming that the japanese have wind of matador, and are making a pre-emptive pre-empti...

You didn't use any commonwealth fighters...???
