US Player starts with no CV's in 1.00.02

[kennonlightfoot]

Looks like a big bug.
Started a game on Version 1.00.02 with eskuche.

On Allied part of Dec 7 turn I found the US had no CV's.
Screenshot below shows what is in Pearl Harbor. Scrolling down just shows a few more CL/DD's.
The Unit list for US shows no CV's on map.
Checked the stacks on West Coast just in case, no CV's.
Checked the units sunk, no CV's.
Checked the Reinforcements list, no CV's.

Pretty certain the game started by eskuche was marked as version 02.

They come in next turn in this patch. Like you I was a bit concerned not to see any US CV's turn 1 but ran a hotseat test and they're just delayed a turn now. They don't show up in the reinforcements as they arrive at PH by special event.

Are you sure? The Reinforcement list does show them.
Unless they are an event.

[kennonlightfoot]

You are right. Just checked it with hot seat they come in as an event on next turn.

Is this a good solution?
IRL they were at sea, why not here?

The Japanese player knows where the USA CV are at turn 1. So to avoid Japanese player to seek for them, they are no more at sea.

@Alvaro - it makes me thing of something. If the US CVs are at sea in turn 1 in raider mode, perhaps they won't intercept.

[AlvaroSousa]

They are not at sea because the Japanese can go after them turn 1 with some trick plays.

Which would you want? Sink the US CVs or BBs? A person would just restart the turn till they found them.

[Meteor2]

Unterstand. But if they are at sea at a more random position, there will be a chance for the IJN to find them and on the other hand it would be boring to search by game restarts.

[AlvaroSousa]

Usually the simplest solutions are the best ones. Let them come in a little later.

[stjeand]

Random would still be bad as the Japanese have quite a few units to search for them.

Better to leave them away so that the US does not suicide them and/or the Japanese find them by luck.
