Admiral Mikawa MIA?

[Michael Walker]

Has anyone seen Mikawa show up? In none of the games I've played, more than 1/2 a dozen including those in progress, I've never seen him available.

In the scenarios I've seen, Mikawa is a HQ leader (8th Fleet?).

[Michael Walker]

Shouldn't he be available to actually command ships? I still haven't seen him, but would very much like to use a leader with ratings as good as his.

Naw, Mike, he's got to sit there in his office and shuffle paper for 8th Fleet HQ, which, as far as I can tell, does absolutely nothing but provide 60 ground unit support points.

I know that air and ground HQs have an effect on play, but why is there nothing beneficial about naval HQs?

[Michael Walker]

Yeah, but isn't this guy supposed to be an active commander? Afterall, he did contribute rather enormously at 1st Savo.

Couldn't agree with you more. I have the same problem with Ballsy for the Allies, who shows up in charge of 3rd Fleet without sea legs.
