Have I said lately that i hate Windows?

[:D]

Billy-ware ... if it wasn't indigenous I'd shoot it. [;)]

About the Lily and the upgrades. It seems that the extra 15-35 I will build will be indispensable during the first months of the war.

First, some of those units do upgrade for free to the Lily.

Second, it functions MUCH better in ASW than even the Ann, and at longer range. I don't think the 100kg bomb size matters as much as the 4 bombs, and I've already had attack and hit messages several times. I don't think I really will hit any subs at this point in the war with Low Nav skill and ASW skill so low, but those subs won't be hitting my transports that turn either.

Third, against airfields the 4 bombs do very well, and these will only be used in China where they can fly low and hit often. Again the range really changes the game over the 1E, and there are several size 3 fields to move them around between. I move the big base away from Anking immediately and bring it north and somewhere with a bigger field. This many extra Lilys give me a buffer and let the first Sally groups really do the big lifting while these can take on added tasks.

In a week or two or three, depending on the situation at the time, I'll convert this factory to Oscar Ic production. I think my decision depends a lot on how my opponent responds. Currently, the AVG is nowhere to be found. There are few serious threats to my targeted invasions and campaigns, so it makes better sense to have more better bombers quickly than more better fighters. If this changed, I might decide to pull the plug early and get more Oscars quicker. Right now, the Nate is working fine as extra CAP and occasional escort where little resistance is thought to be present.

I'll watching to see how they do for you.  BANZAI!!

So, no, I don't think it is gamey. You lose some to waste across some of the hexes, but not nearly as much as you will to subs. And you free up hundreds of ships and save a LOT of fuel. Towards the end of the war, IJ got pretty close in RL, so that vets it even more.

Not to help you lean one way or another but I do not believe there are any losses to Oil and Resources when moved overland - only Supplies and Fuel suffer this.

In my current PBeM my opponent used the AVG in Burma mostly and after moving a sentai of Zeros there and sweeping them I crushed them down to normal levels of experience. The AVG (in my game) pose no more threat than any other fighter unit. The key is finding them and sweep them until they are full of normal skill level pilots.

Thanks Damian. Giving it a shot now. [:)]

Hey Mike: Do you mean to tell me that you're 104 posts into this AAR and there's been no shooting yet? [:'(]

[:D][:D][:D]

[&o][&o][&o]

105 and counting! We're still planning!! [;)]

Giving it the Full Rimmer Salute, eh, Pax?

Just kidding, this stuff is pure gold.

PS - I hope y'all are Red Dwarf fans or you might think I'm being a bit risqué. [:D]

That's the way I understand it, Xargun.

Nope. Its the Apple! [:D][:D][:D]

Very funny wise guy! [:D]

I suspect the user. [:D]

What's the error you're getting Mike?

Oh gah! Have to go make supper. Well, post and I'll catch it later.

I can't argue there either. That's a fact.

I feel your pain. Compared to Windows, the Japanese economy is a snap!

My resolution is greyed out at 800x600. It's using Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Does that mean anything to you?

You need to determine what video card you have, download the drivers under Mac for Win7 (if the internet is still not working) and then come back to windows and install that sucker. ..

Then it should be OK.

I think I found it. Downloading now. Fingers crossed.

That is very low resolution these days. you need 1024x768 minimum to run AE.

Hopefully you can get the right drivers .... they should install easily and you should see more choices for screen rez ...
