Oops. Maybe not. Perhaps only the "100" hexes trigger, not the "101" and "103" hexes. In that case, even the littel "jimas" right off the Japanese coast won't trigger. I am beginning to think the reinfrocement trigger notion on the Kuriles is wrong. Note that the Kamikaze ticking-timebomb trigger is different.
Home Island Reinforcement test thread.
tm.asp?m=2622371&mpage=1&key=Depot%2CDivision?
100 Japan (excluding Kuriles/Ryukyus/Izu Islands)
101 Japanese Home islands (Kuriles/Ryukyus/Izu Islands)
102 Japanese Pacific mandate (including Marianas except Guam, Carolines, Marshall Islands)
103 Formosa
104 Korea
105 Manchukuo
106 Indochina (except Vietnam)
107 Vietnam
108 Thailand
It looks like the Ishigaki islands are 103 from your pic - Formosa, and according to quote you have, Formosa does not trigger reinforcements, so Ishigaki should not.
I agree with that inference. Presumably, michaelm knows what he is talking about.
So here is what I have so far on the reinforcement trigger
Pescadores......YES, definitely (100 code)
Formosa, Orchid Is, Iriomote, Ishigaki and Horycrappo-jima....NO, probably [:)]
Okinawa, the rest of the Ryukyu's (except those already mentioned), the Kuriles and Japanese occupied Sakhalin....MAYBE, perhaps [:)]
Playing scenario 2 on the latest official patch. Paramushiro Jima is "100". Couldn't read Onnetokan Jima (the one near Paramushiro) with the base display overlay. Not sure about Tsushima for the same reason. No other bases outside of the home islands were "100" that I could tell.

IIRC the country code is in the pwhex file set. You can change that for a game in progress, if you want to correct that error (presuming it is an error). Of course if you wait until after you land there and trigger reinforcements it would be too late. [:D]

Agreed, mostly. NE corner of Paramashiro jima is 100 as it the island to the E but the SW corner of Paramashiro-jima is 101.
The remaining Kuriles and Sakhalin are 101's...which means that you might be able to take the bases without triggering the Depot Divisons???????
Tsushima, Oki-shoto and Sadogashima in the Sea of Japan are also 101's.

How do you convert the B-18's to B-29's?

*************May 13, 1943(c)**************
A young Australian Lt of 1st Aus. Para Bn leads a squad into a compound with fences and abandoned guard towers. He is approached by two malnourished-appearing older men of European extraction wearing tattered and soiled clothing. One of them speaks.
1st Old-looking Guy: Good morning Lt., welcome to Karenko. I'm General Wainwright and this is General Percival.
2nd Old-looking guy: Yes, welcome. And thank you for coming. <the two old guys laugh>

The poor, suffering carriers. JJ apparently has Soryu, with a hole in her flight deck but still battle-worthy, and a CVL.
Don't think we should try to land on Okinawa with one only CVE and
Yorktown because we will be up against the two fields on Okinawa plus all the fields on Formosa, China and Kyushu...AND a CVL and
Soryu. We need to get the heavy bombers up to Aparri and bomb the hory riving crap out of Okinawa and Formosa first.

I am going to bet that M&M Distributors was "awarded" the Dos Equis distribution rights in the SW US. Or maybe those are all "full relief" breastaurants?

Ooops. Guess I just triggered some reinforcements for my AI game.
Ah well more VPs to accumulate.

You need the services the ultra-hacker Deep Night. But you don't find him. He finds you.

Couldn't you just add 1011 binary to the B-18 data?

Being as neither of those bits of PMJ are buildable bases (no dot hex), the bit of PMJ that's relevant for invasion / defense is in the prestigious zip code.
I assume that 101 (102, 103, 104, 9021
1) does not trigger national reserves based upon the previously posted threads. Very interesting. One learns something new about this game every freakin' day...[:)]

It uses this much energy:
Queries vary in degree of difficulty, but for the average query, the servers it touches each work on it for just a few thousandths of a second. Together with other work performed before your search even starts (such as building the search index) this amounts to 0.0003 kWh of energy per search, or 1 kJ. For comparison, the average adult needs about 8000 kJ a day of energy from food, so a Google search uses just about the same amount of energy that your body burns in ten seconds.

That is quite fascinating but does it include the energy cost for the NSA to retain and cross-index the search with the terror watch list or some advertiser to send me ads for "Horycrappo-jima" T-shirts?

Bizarrely if you do a search for "Nigel Molesworth" this is one of the returns:

You know, that's interesting. While reading an opponent's AAR on the forum is verboten, isn't a Google search "first two lines" finding more of a grey zone? Hey-it's on the internet! I couldn't help it.
Hence Sprior's years-old admonishment to you about not posting pictures of Mandrake junior's graduation. [;)]

"I landed on Horycrappo-Jima and all I got was this lousy T-shirt". [:D] I'd buy one.
