Wake Invasion xAKs will not load supply

Post by Mac Linehan »

Gents- two questions:

Babes Lite B, Scn 26v15b.

First Question:
Am doing pregame setup editing, to the Japanese at start forces. Amphibious TF 16, Wake invasion (Based at Kwajalein) has the assault and the occupation troops (two LCU's); but no extra supply only shipping. As per advice on this forum, I created a separate TF (Amphibious TF100) with two Aden class xAK's, escorted by six To'su PB; the goal is for TF16 to unload troops and minimal supplies quickly, while TF100 unloads the majority of the supplies simultaneously.

Kwajalein is a size three port with 44,799 supplies on hand.

The problem is that after editing and forming Amphibious TF 100, and restarting the game, the TF and ships are present but neither the Adens nor the To'sus loaded any supplies. Restarted the game several times to make sure there was no glitch.

Experimented and moved one of the Adens over to TF16, and presto- supplies loaded. Am at a complete loss as to why TF100 will not load supplies after editing and a game restart.

Second Question:

While checking my work in the editor, TF tab, I noticed that TF 16- Wake Invasion stock setup, had #15 "Transport" selected under the "mission" tab, as opposed to setting #5 "Amphibious".

Despite the settings above, the actual on map TF menu read "Amphibious". Am not sure if this is a glitch, I am certain that an invading (enemy held base) TF should be amphibious.


OK. Am probably missing something basic, so thought I would ask the Smart Guys(TM) and get some good guidance.

I am very grateful for your help,

In my DBB-C there is too much tonnage docked. I guess that's a Dec 7 bonus or something. Here's the port screen.

Here's the TF screen, is it the same as yours? I wouldn't call 3,000 supply minimal, you can send some more after you capture it.

Geoff-

Thank You for your help. I am probably making a mistake of some kind. I added more xAK's to the LCU TF16 to cover immediate supply; the early war bonus should minimalize any supply/LCU offload conflict, i.e. fast unload for both.

To clarify, the intent was to have one TF with the combat troops (and minimal supply), while the second handled the majority of the supply. Didn't want supply to be prioritized over the LCU's, during an assault on an atoll- although immediate combat supply is very necessary.

I will order the supply TF100 to load in- game before hitting "end turn".

Always learning more, each and every turn.

Thanks again for your help, by the way, you are my favorite lizard...
