If you want to put in a º symbol, just hold down the ALT key and type 167. When you let go of the ALT key the symbol will appear.

I like your SC TF composition. [&o] IMO, the way to go is a pair or 4 modern CLs with 4 to 8 Fletchers. I spent the PP to ensure great leaders for the TF leader and ships. Then, I go looking for trouble. I put a DesRon (4 DDs) of the Bristol Class DDs with each CV TF and another 4 of the pre-war DDs for ASW protection.

Good luck and good hunting!! [;)]

What do you think of attaching the Wichita? I have a similar group in another area, thought I would up the ante a bit with her.

Go ahead and add her. I follow Nemo's philosophy of not mixing warships (CL/CAs with BBs) when it comes to SC TF. Too many times my BBs big guns have sat out the combat while everybody else is fully engaged. My BBs come in pairs with 4, 6 or 8 DDs while my CL/CAs operate with 4 to 8 DDs. Try not to have SC TF over 12 ships. I aim for 8 to 10 warships per SC TF.

Remember the lowest number TF will engage first if you have a bunch of TFs together. Lowpe learned that lesson the hard way off Port Blair when Yamato or Musashi was in the first TF versus the last. [:-]

I needed to know some of the alternate French characters like é or Ç, so in the former versions of Windows I went to the Character Map that showed all 256 characters for each font type. Some of these are handy, like ½ and ¼ (ALT+ 171 or 172). I can't find the character map in my current Windows 7 or I would point you to it.
