WPP Beta 4 - Problem with island ownership

[kennonlightfoot]

My opponent told me he could count my ships because the hexes on Kavieng's island were still UK. So I sent a division to fight their way down the undefended island and take those hexes. But the unit can't do that because those hexes are beach hexes.

Really need to make the islands change ownership to the side occupying the island. Could be done over time. Advancing outward from the occupying unit one hex per turn.

You need to use a Marines division to do this. Beta 5 is better. I will take some screenshots.

Here is what I can view. But definitely, with beta 5 patch, beaches are changing ownerships more smoothly.

Are Marines skinner and can squeeze through tight places?[:D]

Marines can do everything even the impossible. [:)]

Here is the beaches situation in our mirror game. I doubt you can see anything except if you are using a COMINT.
I have used my Marines to change the ownership of all beaches.

But you shouldn't have to use a Marine division to clear an occupied island. Especially since it is to the Japanese advantage to never clear these Islands so there won't be landing zones for the Allies. Kavieng is an exception since it gives intel to the Allies on Rabaul. Coast watchers need to be implemented by some other means since they were present on most of the islands regardless of Japanese force size.

Only land hexes provide intel. Not beach hexes. But I believe in the new beta I resolved this issue as well about the beaches changing due to no supply.

This one is solved in Beta 5. Definitely, we should restart a brand new game with Beta 5 rules (once I have sunk your Enterprise of course... [:D])
