CCAW exploit not CAW

Post by MarkShot »

Here you see a CCAW exploit which is not in CAW. (Wake {historical} scenario by the way.}

Since CCAW is built at the main menu for hot seat, both sides get summary warnings of (left to right):

(1) Strike/search AC spotted.

(2) TG spotted.

(3) TG spotting updated.

In this screenshot, I am playing as the USA. However, you can see that the Japanese player (which might be a human a hot seat) is being warned that a new USA TG was spotted. Now, in CAW, this would mean that they spotted me with a search plane, but I did not spot their plane. It means the same thing in CCAW, but I can be fairly confident either my Northern or Southern TG is under observation at the moment even though I have no report of a search plane overhead. In fact, it might even be prudent now to put up an emergency CAP.

Well, I think this is an exploit not found in CAW. True? Thanks.

Could it be a Jap sub or a coast watcher?

Nope. Its an air spotting. It usually shows up shortly after. Just an exploit.

My current exploit score is:

CAW=1, CCAW=1

Hi MarkShot,

I have not seen this in any of my FtF plays of CAW.

Unless my opponent's not telling me! [:'(]
