And here is my rant I attached to the following turn to Bill![:D] I rant alot over this darn game. I still find it amazing that with so many obvious major issues this game remains my favourite, as is the case with so many of us. Guess in lieu of water we are desperate enough to drink sand.
Rant mode on.
Well, I really got shafted by Gary Grigsby that turn. Nothing in this game works for s--t. That Cruiser TF that got wiped out was 250 miles away with orders to follow the POW TF away from Kendari. Of course, this requires one to set the TF to Patrol and follow a TF with react set to zero which it was. You watched what happened, the poorly designed naval unit interface screwed me. This game is frustrating beyond belief. On top of this, the TF is getting killed, it fights another round despite having a speed advantage, in complete contrast to the other battle when one would expect another round of combat but it withdraws. I don't mind losing battles but I hate it when the game is the culprit.
Rant mode off.
