Reading several AARs give mention to the 'bonus move' certain TFs receive on the Japanese side (presumably early in scenario 1 and/or Dec 41 options.

Can anyone clarify these, as I have no recollection of how these work and what advantages they provide. Thanks-

Thanks!

<t> So I finally bought AE this week, not having played WiP for four or five years.

<t> I know this has probably been discussed for 2 years here and there, but I'm in a PBEM (patch version 1.8.0.6) about 18 months into the grand campaign. Today I had 2 massed air attacks against Rangoon, but it was not shown in the replay at all.<br/> <br/> I had assumed they had not flown, until i...

Memory is fuzzy, but I think it might be a 1st turn glitch only, not showing the animations on the Pearl Harbor attack.....think that's it.

Sorry - been a year, memory is rusty

<t> After one of the patches about a year back (around ver 1.6 maybe?) the combat animations - the aerial dogfights w/ CAP, etc. seem to have been dropped - in any case, I didn't see them anymore.<br/> <br/> Is this something that was planned, or am I missing something? Just starting a new PBEM @ th...

<t> Ron,&nbsp;I couldn't agree more.....I guess it's the same reason Joe Dimaggio rookie cards are valuable these days...back then nobody thought anything when they drove past 400 mothballed B-25s behind a fence.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Letting the Enterprise get scrapped was the most inexcusable o...

Batfish sunk all three Japanese subs on the same war patrol!

So does this mean that oil dropped at Singapore can be fed to industry in Manchuria, assuming Japanese owned roads/railways in between????

Apparently she doesn't have engines anymore; it's old skool tugs that will have to do the work...

Give me 10x the armor, supply, and manpower and I'd beat Rommel too.

Didn't help Monty in Holland or Caen though....

How in the world did you know that?

PT Boats are like Corsairs....unbeatable.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: ecwgcx<br/> <br/> To me this is the greatest battle in the history of the USN. The USS Johnston and Ernest Evens are my heros (as are the Hoel and Sammy B).

<t> I believe the Japanese had quite a few problems w/ the Ki-61 Tony engine, as it was Japan's only liquid-cooled engine, and poor production and maintenance techniques rendered the powerplant unreliable.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> The Ki-84 (Frank), while an outstanding aircraft in normal circumstances,...

Ok, I'll risk sounding stupid - what is CHS???

<t> Definitely read up on what you can - you can save yourself grief down the road w/ a few key changes.<br/> &nbsp;<br/> I'm assuming this is a PDU-off game, i.e. your opponent can't upgrade any 2-engine squadrons to B24s?&nbsp; Playing a human opponent or the AI?<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Off t...

<t> Thought you folks should know - my PBEM opponent has agreed not to use B-29s in naval attack.....<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Of course, w/ PDU-on he can still fan out 500+ B24s about 800 miles in any given direction to rain death upon KB....but that's better than 1500 miles of raining death [8|]<br/> ...

Wow, that's a tough nut to crack for surface combat....seems like BBs/CAs/CLs with float plane recon would rather move a hex or two to engage the enemy rather than sit there like fish in a barrel for a few series of moves in which they all get sunk.
