Matrix Games Forums

Welcome.
The only bad part about this game is that I can't get my significant other excited about it.
Not only it is addictive, it is also very expensive when you factor in the insurmountable need to buy just about everything published on the pacific war (I have two copies of Conways, one at my home and one at my second home)

Run AWAY!

Personally, I've gotten over the urge to buy everything Pacific War-themed. It took a while, though...

So, I played Coral Sea again and got a victory, and just suffered a minor defeat (if that's the exact term, I haven't been getting much sleep lately) in the Aleutians campaign. I was a bit too timid in my amphib assault, and a bit too agressive w/my air ops.

I'm underway in the Guadalcanal campaign. The Marines have siezed Tulagi & Lunga point. I'm know trying to figure out why my SeaBees and base force won't load into my Amphib TF. Back to the manual!!

Amphib = combat mode
Transport = strategic mode

Also, where are you trying to load 'em?  Loading them on a port size=0 will be difficult to impossible.  If you're so stuck, maybe have them build the port to the size necessary to re-embark another amphibious TF?

Surrender your soul at the door, and welcome to the addiction!!!!!

Apparently I gave up my sould when I started playing D&D in the 6th grade.

I'm tring to load them in Noumea, which has a port size of 7. I have the troops in combat mode already, and made Lunga their target. BTW, they're just not showing up on the list at all, only the S. Pac HQ does. Weird.

CrackSabbath,

Are your troops that you're trying to load from a restricted or are they from an unrestricted HQ? If restricted, you aren't permitted to move them and will need to change their status to unrestricted (hope you've got some political points in the bank). Otherwise, I can't think of a reason why combat prepped troops wouldn't board a suitable amphibious TF in a port the size of Noumea.

Ahhh! That's it. I've got a fair amount of political points left too. I'm just beginning to peel the layers back on this beast. Thanks Chickenboy!

p.s. Any relation to the Chickenlady (sorry, I'm having a Kids in the Hall flashback).
