Scenario designer gets to pick the names. If you want, create your own scenario and name ships after your family, TV shows, Playboy Centerfolds, or whatever.

I have never delved into the data base, how difficult is it to change the names?

A few seconds per change.

If my Betties cripple a US CV and the Allied player scraps it himself does he still get a replacement ?

Also, do allied CAs still get free replacements when lost ?

Yes, assuming you have respawn selected at scenario level, and all the other conditions. This is true even if it is Nells or Vals or Kates...

Also, do allied CAs still get free replacements when lost ?

Australian CAs only, to US CA. Basically the Canberra rule, but will fire for any Aussie CA that sinks.

ok, think i got confused. Is it still possible for us to rename Yorktown II in game or only in editor prior to game start?

Are the early destroyers that were lost also in as renamed fletchers?

Any ship whose name ends with " II", " III", or " IV" can be renamed in game while it is in the reinforcement queue. That is, Intel Screen, Ship Availability. Ships can not be renamed after they arrive on map

Second part is an OOB question, I'll leave that for the OOBeings.

[NormS3]

Thanks.

That's what i thought i remembered, was up to late tending the bar last night , i guess.

It works for any ship in the editor to mark the name with a II, right? So I should be able to add those DD/SS ect in?

So no more extra CLAAs and such for the allis ? Good.

So in the default 'big' scenario this setting is OFF. Which means if it isn't in the build queue you don't get it right ? So if I sink 10 allied CVs with the setting OFF, they only get the normal 6 (or whatever is already in the queue) and 4 will not respawn. Correct ?


But if we turn the setting ON then any allied CV and Australian CA that sinks will get a replacement added to the build queue above and beyond what is there. Correct ?

This option confuses me a bit and I just want to understand it incase my PBeM opponent wants the rule - then we will need to edit the scenario before starting.

PS If its clearly explained in the manual then tell me to GRTFM - I haven't had a chance to print and read it yet

There really isn't anything to it. If the Respawn switch is turned on for the scenario, than respawn works similarly to WITP. Carrriers, cruisers, Australian CA and Japanese midget subs respawn (no minesweepers). Larger ships respawn about a year and a third out, use the class current at that time, and carry the same name.

[Andy Mac]

And if OFF as it is for the main scenario then they don't respawn and you only get whats in the reinforcment path

[Xargun]

Excellent - thanks for the clarification.

I like this option.. And it puts the decision of what to do with the player.  pages and pages of decision on this topic are resolved...
