Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A))

[Lowpe]

Stillwell showed up in China...I didn't know this prior, but they can be bought out and air lifted into India where we are desperately short of HQc and HQy.

I think I will do it...

For AAA units, look at what comes in for New Zealand . . . [:D]

I have a vague memory of great NZ AAA... PS: 25 and 82 days away for the first 2 AA units for NZ. A great Valentine unit in 2 days though, but restricted.

BIG brigades! When full, I think that they only have something like 72 40mm Bofors. Maybe more? Plus the 3.7" . . .

Actually, I get the Japanese to bomb from 20K+ wherever I have AA so the 40mm isn't much good. I am using a lot of it as point defense for anti paratroop missions, especially in India.

All three SS to SST conversions are going on right now, and if I recall you can only load designated -p units in, and to load you need to actually move the troops in.

Some night bombing going on, stepping up the supply drop into Burma/China again using a LB30 squadron.

Just moving troops and supplies and ships and training. Lots of upgrades of CVs, cruisers and destroyers. Radar. [:)]

[HansBolter]

NCAC Army Command does not have to be bought out.

It is already an unrestricted unit.

I wonder if your opponent will have [:D]fun retaking dot bases in his rear areas . . . [8D]

My game is not open now as I am busy starving but those brigades should get at least 48 3.7" AA guns.

IIRC I had problems doing even this in my current game. Not certain. Beware.

Too late! [:(] But it is on my AFB bucket list...so I will give it a go and try not to be frustrated.

I did notice they had 3.7 inchers...I simply can't have enough AA.

I seem to remember that at one point they changed the code so that instead of paras it was anything with a specific icon number, which they used for commandoes. But later in Babes they stopped using that icon for commandoes because they felt the submarine landing thing was overpowered in the game engine. Something like that.

Paratroops are the only ones that can be carried in combat mode on the US SSTs. Other troops can be carried in Move mode, IIRC. If that doesn't work try Strat Mode.

We all had this discussion long ago in my AAR.

Adding: I should clarify I'm talking about combat mode, not strat mode.

They don't come in at full strength though, I think its about 1/2 strength, but still a very effective AA unit

PT boats used to drive me nuts, till I figured out how to handle them...and then as Japan I always looked at them as free VP. Go figure.[:D]

Working on these two armored units and the base...
