Less familiar with this area of the editor though building the new land devices and creating the German LCU's was intuitive enough. I didn't see off the bat a way to match up the TO&E. Have you done this for your mod? Fremen? any advice?

Yes, i had one. Wait until the release of the 1.2 version, the TOEs are correct, and the devices also. Then, modify this versión to Nik Mod.
I hope will be ready this week.

[Nikademus]

great!

did you catch my comment on the base terrain? was that intentional? It seemed odd that some of the bases were listed as "forest/jungle" which was the default for many Pacific bases. I think it's messing with movement rates. My advance for example into Barce hex is going at 8 miles per day despite "road" terrain connecting it.

War continues... took a look into industry, but boy, this is a completely mess... Axis ac using modified engines (Piaggo, Daimler...) but Japanese engines are shown on the intel screen (i guess it was impossible to change this)... so if you want (and you really need to expand some engine types!!) convert lets say Fiat engine to Piaggo you must do experimental convertion clicking and checking in the intel screen if you converted good engine type....

His carriers dissapeared but i suspect he is going to bomb Norhtern Italy.... go ahead, just let you know that i'm aware of it. So ask yourself - do you feel luck?[;)]

[Speedysteve]

Warspite is fine Pauk.....a mere flesh wound.........

As for CV's I am thinking of moving them from here to Alexandria.....wil be no problem getting past this dumbasses defences[:'(]

I must say my Spits have performed poorly against the 109's so far. Have changed a few leaders to see how that helps.

[Nikademus]

the 109 JG's start off with very good exp. (the one that starts in Italy is 'elite' at 90 avg exp) so they can be very dangerous. I'm finding out in my game with Chuck that they are not however invincible as my losses over Tobruk have mounted. Of course the replacement pilots aren't nearly so good.

[Speedysteve]

What replacement pilots do the Germans and Italians get in terms of numbers and Experience?

[Nikademus]

Italy - 250 pool to start, 100 replacements per month Median exp value = 50

Germany - 200 pool to start, 100 replacements per month. Median exp value = 65

UK - 800 pilots in pool to start, 400 replacements per month. Median exp value = 60

[DuckofTindalos]

Do those Stuka's carry 2200-pounders now?

[Nikademus]

only the JU-87D. The Ju-87b lugs a 500kg SAP bomb.

[Andy Mac]

Question are the British and CW Divs using the far east TOE if so they 25% under strength.
 
Br Divs in ME operated 48 Squad Bn's compared to the 36 Squad ones in Far East also they had a lot more attached equipment and recce sqns etc etc the whole TOE of a Desert Div was far higher than a WITP Standard British or Indian Div ?
 
2nd NZ Div had 10 x 48 Squad Bn's for example plus supporting heavy weapon allocation

Andy

For this build, i did not lower their To&E, due to replacement being linked to production which was under review by Fremen at the time. Instead I opted for heavy disablements which would take weeks (months even) to bring some of the rear area units up to a credible level of assault strength.

[8|]...what do you think?

[DuckofTindalos]

I think I don't know... That's why I'm asking you; you're playing the game, I'm not...

[pauk]

and my Italian subs can load mines in Taranto...why is that???

(only 116 posts more.... post post..)

[Nikademus]

He means that Taranto is a big time base, representing the RL Taranto which was one of Italy's primary naval base so yes, it's big enough and starts with enough supply. I've noticed the same problem with loading mines onto subs. Think it might be a device slot issue.
