I believe the B17s at Pearl need to be bought out from Hawaii command.
In stock scenario 1 the B17-D's are under Hawaiian USAAF and the B17-E is under V US Bomber Cmnd. Neither HQ is restricted.
I believe this transfer between commands has something to do with it. What I have found is that the planes (B-17E's) actually confirming they are leaving for, as
an example, Palmyra - returns to Pearl and are back there when the next turn starts. That may be because I use "supply transport". When I use other modes it
says it is outside range. I have switched them to USAFFE (this is in December '41). If I try to "transfer to new base" on the westerly side it doesn't accept
anything - even if it is "not restricted".
Funny enough, the PBY's have arrived in Pago Pago. Maybe because they are Navy...?
Apart from this it develops nicely. Picking ships and procedures for loading, etc. are rather complicated. Here there is also obviously some couplings between
units and ship's types. I'm looking forward to get the updated game and manual....
Tks for all your assistance.

P.S.: One definite disappointment. When the Pensacola convoy arrived in Brisbane (by the computer) exactly on time I found that it carried no troops or planes
(Maybe they pop up in Brisbane some days later...[:)]..?..) As you all may know in RL it carried a complete artillery brigade with lots of extras, 18 P-40's and 52
A-24's. They could have come to good use..[:)]
