anoher puzzle; air evacuation snafu

Post by wga8888 »

Game in May 42. My opponent earlier captured Gasmata (New Britain), displacing my 101 RAAF baseforce into the jungle. the Japanese later left. After my 2 USMC paras dropped in to capture the base, the 101 RAAF was then allowed to enter the Gasmata base (could not do so when Japanese flag was there). Although I was allowed to pickup the 2 para by troop pickup, I cannot seem to do so for the 101 (took it a long time to march there from the jungle), which only consisted of squads, av support, and support. All belong to the SWPac, and Port Moresby is my base of operations. Sending ships is likely not safe due to Nells/Bettys. Any ideas why air evac is not working? Nullifies months of operations.

look for free print screen programs

this is one I use to start with: and it is free
http://download.cnet.com/3028-2094_4-10 ... t=fivemill

but look under sites like cnet for a program (including some basic cut/paste/resizer programs so you can just post part of the print screen)

some are share-ware (free period of use, then a small fee) or free.
Look under downloads at cnet.com

As to your problem - my question would be to the HQ/Command structure. Is that base force still under a differnet command or can you 'buy them out' with Political Points. You can't transport some units because of Command Structure - Different major commands or in Restricted Commands.

Good luck.

Original problem resoves, player error on my part. I eventually noticed the evacuee in Gasmata was still attached to Australian HQ. Once changed to SWPac, no issue.

In terms of screen captures, Windows 7 & 8 have a very good one included, called the "Snipping Tool". It lets you grab a full screen, an individual window, or just a part (defined space), as you need. Saves to JPG, ready for forum upload. Very useful for posting to forums.
