(A) Fulkerson vs Jap AI vers 7.0

[larryfulkerson]

The only other BB's besides those at Pearl are these two at Seattle in the repair shipyard for less than a month. I'll have them back soon.

[larryfulkerson]

I'm going through all the ship types forming TF's and now I'm numbering all the AP's and I've come upon an instance where there was an
infantry regiment ready to be loaded so I've started it loading on a TF to be ready to ship out to Pago Pago. That's where the regiment
says it's prepareing for now so I guess that's where they went historically so that's where I'm shipping them.

EDIT: It's the 8th Marine Rgt and I've got enough ships together so that the Rgt has 48% spare space and the cargo has another 74%
so they aren't crowded very much. I used the "add ship" button until I got numbers I liked.

[larryfulkerson]

The 34th Inf Rgt at San Francisco insisted that they be loaded and carried to Pearl Harbour. They are already 100% prepared for it and
everything. I guess I'll find a lot of LCU's that are prepped for somewhere that they haven't reached yet. I'll look into that somehow.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a partial list of all the LCU's that have a target location that's different from where they are now, in other words they are probably
supposed to be moving......but they all have the wrong OP CODE for moving.....meaning I guess, that I'll have to go through them all to
set the opcode to move instead of combat. When it's applicable for the situation the unit is in at the time of course. Maybe they all aren't
supposed to be moving like those on a TF already.

[larryfulkerson]

The first one on the list that I looked at for the previous problem, is one that is already moved to the spot they need to be in. No change
is necessary for this unit. Well, good that means they all won't have to be moved. And their op code is already the correct one they
should have.

The Alcoa Prospector just happened to be parked at Alameda when it was created and there just happens to be 400 tons of resources
at Alameda that I can load up and take to San Francisco nearby. Every little bit helps and SFO is really low on resources.

Hey you guys.........I found one of the new features of this version of WITP-AE. There's a new choice on the routing control called
Coastal and when you toggle it the vehicle really hugs the coastline as you can see in this image. Pretty nifty huh? Cool.

[larryfulkerson]

And another new feature I'm guessing......a new mouseover window.

[larryfulkerson]

I don't know how well you can see this but it looks lilke to me that there's two Jap subs in the Singapore hex with me. I'm going to have to
lay more mines and put some ASW to work.

[larryfulkerson]

This is me scuddling an AVD in Davao harbour. It was in no shape to go anywhere, the fires were out-of-control and it seemed like the
right thing to do. Even if we could get the fires out and somehow the ship survived it would spend a considerable amount of time being
repaired so....

[larryfulkerson]

Here's all the aircraft at Pearl and the missions I gave them.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's all the aircraft on the East Coast that need to be transfered somewhere else. I'm especially fond of P-38's and I'm planning on
getting them into the fight ASAP so I'm planning on moving them to San Diego and ship them via ship to Pearl. The Bolo's I guess can
pretty much stay where they are. On the other hand I can use them for ASW on the smaller islands on the route to Pearl from Oz.

Have a newer version of the TF art, if you're interested Larry.
I think you'll like it.[;)]

Enjoy your game!!!

[larryfulkerson]

Here's all the Chinese aircraft. I changed a lot of them from training to other missions, typically "ground attack". I didn't have to move a
lot of them since they are already in the thick of it. There was a lot of planes in the Mongolia garrison thing and stuck on training.

So first of all I want to thank you very much for your posting this for us. I've figured out that the download buttons are on the far right
but I don't know which files to download and unzip into the ART directory. Which file does what here?

[larryfulkerson]

I think I may have said something earlier about sending the Saratoga to Pearl to join the other two carriers. I've formed up a TF around
the Saratoga w/ escorts, one is a CL that has a float plane that will ASW all the way, and the carrier planes are set on naval search
except for the fighters which are on escort. The trip out there will take approx. 6 days.

[larryfulkerson]

I've built a TF around the CVL Hermes. It's got 10 sys damage but I need it's services right now so I'll fix it at another opportunity. For
now it and the TF are headed to Oosthaven where they will help prevent landings at Palembang hopefully. It's got about 12 torpedo
bombers and 3 float planes and no fighters. So I guess I'll take these planes to Java and unload them there and pick up some fighters
from somewhere else for the Hermes.

[larryfulkerson]

I've got a TF at Pearl that represents all the undamaged big guns and the largest is a CA. So they are no match for the KB right now
I'm thinking I should leave them at Pearl for now in case the AI makes another Pearl strike, which, they are in range for another air strike
even as we speak. The mouseover says the KB TF is headed east and I think that's FOW and that they are really headed for Midway.
At least I'm hoping they are leaving. I have the aircraft prepped at Pearl ready for another strike so it will be expensive if the Japs want to
pay for it. I'm as ready as I can be I think. I have plans to fly some Cat's out to the islands in the route to Oz to do the naval search and
ASW kinds of things. I'm wondering if there exists a route for B-17's to fly to Oz even now. If so I've got plans to send some B-17's to Oz
too.

[larryfulkerson]

I've got a CL and a DD still undamaged at Singapore that I've put together into a TF and they represent all the big guns I have this far
west and in the Singapore area.......I'm sending them to Miri to help prevent the landings there that I know are going to happen real soon
now. This is a case of my having played against the AI before and there were always some early turn landings at Miri by the Japs. So I'm
taking advantage of that knowledge and preparing for it already. Cheating? I'm not sure, what do you guys think?

[larryfulkerson]

Lemme see if I can get this correct: I have a TF in Brisbane of four AP's loading the 11th Australian Bde and I haven't decided where I
want to send it yet. I'm thinking the Rabaul area somewhere. Lemme look around for a good spot and I'll keep you in the loop.
