OK, cat's problem solved.
But what about that PDU remark? Is it on topic?

I am extending my theater approach and up till now it seems to work.

AvG

What do you mean exactly?
My Player Defined Upgrades are ON.
I do NOT understand the expression where your cat is involved. ( English is not my native language)

<t> It has been a while since my last entrance. Quite a while.<br/>
The via air supply problem has been cleared. Airloads in kg and shiploads in tons.<br/>
Decided again to free China first as main target.<br/>
In a huge simulation like this it is important to keep surveyability.<br/>
After lots ...

<t> I had major problems with my PC.<br/>
Videocard was burnt out.<br/>
Is replaced now, so I can go on.<br/>
I did some investigations and concluded that the average unit is using ~0,1 supplies per 1000 men per day.<br/>
After putting the data of Allied-China in my data-file I see that there is ...

<t> I have to make a correction.<br/>
Ships in a TF allways use Endurance except if the TF is docked (See man. 6.2.15 Docking)<br/>
<br/>
WitPTracker is still causing problems. It often refuses to load a new turn due to unequal databases or halts when comparing databases. <br/>
Restart the load ...

<t> OK, thanks a lot Dan.<br/>
So I took the solution of the devs, and yes it worked.<br/>
In my view that was a also proof of the right functioning of Java and MS Visual.<br/>
New trials with the standard setup. Problems.<br/>
Then i saw the problem. After 40 years working with computers I know ...

<t> 2nd trial to overcome the zip-problem.<br/>
The first time I dicoverd I had 2 extension file.zip.txt.<br/>
So I went to mapoptions and unchecked the 7th option (hide file-extensions)<br/>
Now I can rename my attachment from AE-attach-1.xls to AE-attach-1.txt.<br/>
I copied the latter to ...

<t> I am very sorry to hear that. Is there a reason for not allowing zip-files here?<br/>
My xls-file is at the moment my only tool I can use.<br/>
<br/>
I reinstalled WitPTracker for the 4th time (including Java en the MS service pack patch), but it still will NOT work.<br/>
Every time I get ...

A new trial to upload the attachment. Zipped size 51 kB
Again not possible.
The small upload window says: Max 1000 kB and also gif/txt/jpg
I know that zip differs from these extensions, but I see so many .zip attachments that it must be possible someway.

<t> OK, so I started the 6th scenario and am looking at a huge map of the Pacific area.<br/>
It is realy overwhelming. What and where to begin with??<br/>
I decided to run it for a couple of days and in the meantime make an analysis of lots of things.<br/>
I remember from history that Japan had ...

<t> It is already some years ago that I played WitP.<br/>
I discovered a major update was made on AE (never realy used AE).<br/>
So I made a fresh install of AE and patched to 1.0.6.1108r9.<br/>
My PC: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+, MMX, 3DNow (from DxDiag). Windows XP.<br/>
Since I like ...

<t> I still do not get it.<br/>
Started Japan and did only three turns to see what happens.<br/>
Turned off ALL replacements.<br/>
After 3 days I see that ALL armament-points are put in the pool, allthough there were a couple of item produced.<br/>
(Some mines and 2 sounddetectors) <br ...

<t> Played in the past WitP for hundreds of hours. Gamespeed acceptable.<br/>
Now I updated to AE 06i and after a lot of changing the switches I can't get an acceptable speed.<br/>
Using the minimap for quick theater-changing, it takes up to 12 seconds befor the mainmap responds.<br/>
My PC is ...

<t> Playing Japan.<br/>
I thought that mines and torpedos were devices and would be produced in Armament factories.<br/>
<br/>
Mines:<br/>
Looking at the prod/last-turn I see there is a production of mines. Looking at the loadcost (lower ones) of these mines makes it clear that production can't ...

Even easier - just highlight and hit "reply". No need to copy to clipboard (at least for me)

Will it work??

Check via preview.

And yes, it works. Even for me.
Thanks a lot.

AvG

OK. Thank you. You convinced me. (99%. Already in WitP is not a very strong argument)

Now a very stupid question: How do you guys manage to get these quotes in such a nice white rectangle?
AvG

Page 179 of the manual. Part printed in red.

It is NOT historical to have so many Japanese support-units understaffed at the start of the war. They started with a very good support system.

AvG

Yeah, that kind of explanation I figured out myself.
The question is however is this meant to be or is it a slip of some devs-keyboard?

AvG

1rst Campaign.
Land bombardment.
It happens very often that the bombarding party suffers more losses than the enemy does.
It happened even that the bombarding side was the only one with losses.
Can anyone explain this?

AvG

<t> 1rst Campaign.<br/>
Most of Japanese landunits have understaffed Support. <br/>
Is this meant to be ?<br/>
The manual states that the new AE-support unit are bigger in size, but the program does NOT understand that and seems not to be able to work correctly with that statement.<br/>
