Hello,

(Playing Scen 15, 1.6)

This question is about LCUs and river crossings. I already have numerous LCUs at Clark, though the base is still in Allied hands. I was thinking of adding some more LCUs to the stack. When the new LCUs cross the river and enter into Clark, will the program automatically launch an attack the next turn? And will the attack be Deliberate or Shock? I know I don't have the base (per the rules), but technically I have a bridge head.

During the LCU bombardment phase, each LCU has two different numbers appear during the attack. Say the 11 PA XX first shows 103, then it changes to 219. What do the numbers represent? Actual assault value, followed by modified?

A quick plane replacement question. In 1.6, if you have accept replacements, do you only receive planes? And then you manually add pilots?

Thanks.

Your new LCUs will shock attack after crossing the river. There were numerous discussions about that, maybe it will change in future patches.

I think the numbers are AV modified AV, but I'm not sure. The important numbers to watch are the AV and modified AV of all units together for deliberate and shock attacks. They can be seen in the middle bar at the end of the combat.

With replacement on you receive aircraft as soon as they are available and you receive pilots automatically when the aircraft flies or manually when you press the "Get Pilot" button.

You recieve pilots automatically for all 'ready' aircraft if set to 'accept replacements'.

[Arkan]

Not entirely correct, if your ready aircraft don't fly they won't draw pilots.

That used to be the case...but with the 1.5 patch came the auto draw of pilots for ready aircraft if set to accept replacements.

Sorry, you are right. I never noticed that change.
