Matrix Games Forums

I recently started playing again and am looking for a document/link I found very useful in the past. It covered many subjects like escorts, organization of submarines, use of lci's, ect… I believe it was over 100 pages.

Maybe it's the FAQ Inf for Newbs? It has quite a few links in it. You can find it in The War Room 2nd row (permanent link).

I've searched there and didn't see it.

Maybe this is the link??

Useful Info for Beginners: tm.asp?m=2576157

Other than that, I'm all out of ideas.

Woah, I never knew this kind of thing existed. Need to look it through )

My goodness! What a treasure trove! I guess Lee's 'Letters and Recollections' will have to go back burner for a bit. Thanks for posting this!

OMG!!! WHERE WAS THIS DOCUMENT HIDDEN!!

Ejem... Ejem.. [:o]

The Forum Squeeze is certainly a gem. Some of the information in it is outdated, but it's still immensely useful. While we're at it, here are some additional documents which may be helpful. I think a couple of them come from the Squeeze itself, and others are ones I developed. They do help me play the game, hopefully they'll do the same for you:


Allied shipyards chart (at start of game - some become temporary Japanese bases)

Spoilage of fuel/supplies at bases chart

Conversions of most of the various gun bore sizes in the game... what it doesn't have you can guesstimate using this as a guide.

As for the colors - in the "Type" column, they're just there is visually break up the types. For the other columns:
Green = some key Allied bore sizes
Yellow = used extensively by both sides
Orange = key Japanese bore sizes
Light blue = just to visually break up all the orange in the naval gun category
