Shouldn't an Aussie MSS act like one to the allied US Troops? Hard to tell from the language in the manual. It sounds like it could be that Aussie troops get a free nite on the town in Los Angeles, but US troops don't in Sydney. Which would be wrong if that's the way it works. Maybe its just because it what I hoped it would say, but the easiest would be to have the MSS of any ally work for any other nation in the alliance.
Or any city for that matter. If US troops are a few hexes from an Aussie city, then they should be supplied just like they were an Aussie unit.
Just watched the Pacific mini series. The Marines were starving in a lot of places. Melbourne wasn't one of them. The Marines found themselves in a country where all the men were in Africa or Europe fighting for the Brits. So, they found a nation of lonely young women and were welcomed with open arms and open doors into their homes. Definitely didn't look to be starving for food or other attention to me.
I'd check the map, but the game is such a huge resource hog that I can't type here unless I shut the game down. Very slow o n e c h a r a t a t i m e.
Probably shouldn't mention that. Some other loudmouth out here will now attack me for trying to play a game on anything that isn't as good as their super-gaming computer. Oh well. That's the Matrix forums.
The bit about making the code check for the supply source that would deliver the most supply to a unit instead of checking for the closest in AP points sounds like very wise advice.
Generally, all Matrix games force customers to come to these forums to learn the games. Generally, the small developers who work with Matrix don't write decent manuals. So, you have to come to these forums to get the details about the game. I've been playing the demo for an hour, read through the manual, and I'm already out here looking for details that aren't mention and are thus a mystery to me right now.
Unfortunately, its long been the case that if you come to these forums, you run into some loud mouth jerk who jumps all over people who dare to ask a question.
I rarely buy Matrix games. Just trying the demo of this one. I'd like to find a strategic/operational game on the pacific that doesn't have the bad UI and massive overkill of details that WITP always died from. But these forums are one of several reasons I rarely buy the games. That and the fact that Matrix publishes a great deal of over-priced, buggy, POS games. Don't know if this is one or not. Do have to remember that the developers are different from Matrix game to Matrix game. I've regretted an awful lot of purchases from Matrix over the years. Found some good games as well. So, I buy rarely, and very, very carefully from here.
People like Razz aren't helping that with their massive doses of attitude towards anyone who comes here trying to ask a question.
Oh well, I'm gone from here. Of course, with my questions about the game unanswered. Which probably means that it won't ever be more than an uninstalled demo for me.

in Management who are only concerned with the bottom line of the project DO NOT WANT to pay a proper manual writer what (s)he's worth in the first place, nor for the actual number of hours contributed and will trash the project manual as the first of their "cost-cutting" exercises.
