What I would like to know is why sound detectors (radars as well I guess) sometimes get left behind whatever you do. OK you can load it up afterwards but still ...

What I would like to know (semi related) is: If I load much of a unit (say 80% by weight) and get "Malay 37th Inf/1" in my transport, then the parent unit, Malay 37th Inf with the bits left behind gets destroyed by the Japanese, will my "/1" unit ever become the real unit? Will it ever get to take on replacements or upgrade? Will it (I think this is the case) rather stay in the game as an /X unit until the original cadre returns as a replacement after several months?

Scroll down half the page. There are a couple of threads that talk about loading troops and supplies onto ships.

If you mix the AP's & AK's, you'll go insane

Amen.[8|] I beat my head against the wall on that one for a while. I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Love this game. All I need is more hours in the day!

Yah.. I know.

I thought about asking for an in-game clock. Perversely however, there are times I take great pride when the alarm clock goes off and I look away from the screen. I'm more mad about having to go to work than being up all night [:D]
