carrier ops point

[George Patton]

Hi!

How does it works with the ops point of the carrier? I note that, sometimes, the carrier TF is in the same hex as the turn before, but the TF spend a lot of ops, and, sometimes, the TF moves for several hexes, and she doesn't spend ops.

Just like any other ship...it spends op points for everything it does...

One thing that will eat up Op points is refueling. Alway set your CV TFs on Do Not Refuel as it is a very bad thing to use up Op points in refueling and then not have enough to launch an airstrike.[:@]

The only effect this has is to prevent a TF from refueling when it enters a friendly port hex. There is no way to prevent a TF from refueling at sea, if some ships need fuel and a fuel source is available. You can minimize refueling at sea however by setting as the TFs home port, the closest friendly base possible to the TF's current destination hex. This leads the AI to calculate that it doesn't have so far to steam before it can refuel in port, and so it decides that its fuel needs are less urgent than it might otherwise.

Oh. I've never thought that! [&o]
