RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
Hi Andy, thanks for posting.
I have a question: These reports seem very... well, verbose. Is there a way, in game, of getting the action reports in a more concise form? I mean, it may be nice for the developers to get all that detail, but by crikey it's more than I want as a player.

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
I noticed a collision in the reports on March 19th.
"xAK Shikano Maru collides with xAK Sensan Maru at 55 , 102"
Both ships are mentioned after said collision and neither have heavy damage at the later time. So I'm guessing the damage is variable for a collision.
Is the damage rated as both system and float damage?
Is there potential to sink a ship from it?
Does a smaller ship take more damage when colliding with a large one?
Don't remember any questions about this, so posting here.

This is a one day CR
The automatc sub function is working ok
Capetown is the new supply hub for auto convoy in the West I am using a mix of CS convoys and Auto convoys to keep my forces supplied
The buildup is a LOT slower in AE - India and Australia are both in need of supplies
Batavia falls this turn the last major concentration of allied ground power in the DEI and Burma

Firstly, the AI seems to routinely make attacks at WAY worse than 1:3 odds - and why not when results like this can happen? What commander would expect to get results like this if he is told he has 1:22 odds? (well, besides suicidal japanese army commanders [;)]) There must be way more factors at play here than the odds, but I'm having trouble identifying what they are....the attacker got this result with ZERO attack mods....perhaps the defender mods are incredibly detrimental?
Thanks again...

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
Its a good question and the answer is complicated
But here goes there are two broad phases with lots of sub phases in combat.
The fire phase and the assault phase
In the fire phase most of the casualties occur units fire at each other Arty is involved and units do most of the casualties
The assault phase works out the odds
My Mandalay Garrison had a mix of Indian 1941 Squads, Burmese Squads and Chinese Squads
All of these squads are low firepower (the Indian 41 Squad is a speacial one which includes a lower firepwoer than TOE would indicate because they were not fully equiped at a Squad level) e.g. shortage of Brens (or even WW1 vintage Hotchkiss LMG's) and 2" Mortars - the Indian Army had expanded extremely quickly and even small arms had not kept up.
Where units did have the better 42 Indian or British Squads they are in smaller units so have suffered a higher proportion of disablements
Also the entire allied Corps (except the Chinese) had been retreated at least once some twice losing a lot of equipment in the process so they dont have many heavy guns left
Lastly there is now a chance that units with low morale, high disruption, poor xp and inferior leaders will surrender - its a remote chance but small units with poor leaders and sub 50 experience - i.e. the Burmese Bns will on occasion just disintigrate when attacked
After the first 6 months you will almost never see it because unit xp and leaders are better and it needs both to be piss poor to really impact.
So lets take each combat in turn
Allied forces have few tanks most of the Infantry units have AV but are in poor shape only 7th Armoured is anything like itself at this point and 5th Chinese Corrps

But here goes there are two broad phases with lots of sub phases in combat.
The fire phase and the assault phase
In the fire phase most of the casualties occur units fire at each other Arty is involved and units do most of the casualties
The assault phase works out the odds
My Mandalay Garrison had a mix of Indian 1941 Squads, Burmese Squads and Chinese Squads
All of these squads are low firepower (the Indian 41 Squad is a speacial one which includes a lower firepwoer than TOE would indicate because they were not fully equiped at a Squad level) e.g. shortage of Brens (or even WW1 vintage Hotchkiss LMG's) and 2" Mortars - the Indian Army had expanded extremely quickly and even small arms had not kept up.
Where units did have the better 42 Indian or British Squads they are in smaller units so have suffered a higher proportion of disablements
Also the entire allied Corps (except the Chinese) had been retreated at least once some twice losing a lot of equipment in the process so they dont have many heavy guns left
Lastly there is now a chance that units with low morale, high disruption, poor xp and inferior leaders will surrender - its a remote chance but small units with poor leaders and sub 50 experience - i.e. the Burmese Bns will on occasion just disintigrate when attacked
After the first 6 months you will almost never see it because unit xp and leaders are better and it needs both to be piss poor to really impact.
So lets take each combat in turn
Allied forces have few tanks most of the Infantry units have AV but are in poor shape only 7th Armoured is anything like itself at this point and 5th Chinese Corrps

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
Aircraft Attacking:
5 x B-25C Mitchell bombing from 6000 feet
Naval Attack: 6 x 500 lb SAP Bomb
3 x B-25C Mitchell bombing from 6000 feet
Naval Attack: 6 x 500 lb SAP Bomb
Is there still a die roll for the Allied medium bombers to carry heavier bombs (1000 pounders) once their experience gets above a certain number (I thought it was over 70 in stock)??
Is it possible in the AI script to have it concerntrate construction engineers at the main captured economic assets to build up the port to max size to facilitate the loading of Oil and Resources?? In my limited time playing as Japan, I try to do this to help turn around time.

[/center]RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
I believe so the air team would need to confirm
Yes the AI scripts do concentrate engineer assets at the right places
2 issues 1. its named units so if destroyed the AI will not replace them
2. AI build everythign equally so I tend to go voerkill for a while but there are whole AI scripts dedicasted to moving engineers around from base to base

RE: Port Moresbey Falls !!!!
I may have spoke to soon about the AI going quiet for a while....
I have 4 Carriers at Pago Pago replenishing they are enroute
A major Trrop convoy with 70,000 men is about 6 days steaming from New Cal
Gentlemen we have a race !!!!
