I agree. I think the game works fine, but I understand what Adm. Scott is saying. I have to guess also (which i like) and use the react button.[:D ] It's been working for me, but remember there is alot that goes into a TF reacting(search, Leadership and other things). So it's not always a absolute.[:D]

We will still work on bugs in 1.4. I do not know if there will be follow-on patches. The return on investment decreases with time, so you can’t blame the developers for slowing down on patch and moving on to new games. However, I see a very long life for WitP and like Steel Panthers I expect it to take on a life of its own.[:D]

Pad152,

regarging number 2, I don't understand. Why would you not want the computer to automatically convert Nell factories to Betties? If you do it manually, they become damaged, it costs HI and supply and decreases the maximum. When the computer auto UPGRADES, you get it for free and no damaged parts. (I think I saw an earlier post from you about Nells and Betties)

It's like the allied player saying that they want the Wildcat to stay in production and don't want to upgrade to the Hellcat. Don't Japan players prefer the Betty to the Nell? [&:]

Nell's got a longer range (by 1, maybe 2 hexes). But yes, if it were me, I'd let them upgrade.

It's not about bettys/nells, it's about who is in control of Japanese aircraft production (player or computer). If the player is in control, I should be able to build what I want. If the computer is in control, I shouldn't be able to change aircraft factories. You can't have both ways!!!

The game as it is now, if the player changes a factory to buid an older type aircraft the computer will change the factory back to the newer type next turn. This also limits aircraft upgrade paths.
