I believe the sub is eligible, well I did; because it allowed me to select the mission but then after I generated four of the SSXs I couldn't find the appropriate button. At least I appear to have been trying more or less correctly. Thank You!

and another thing! I musta have missed the memo saying the IJ convoy setup I lifted from... (Damien?)Would draw down their origin ports in early 1942 (only Port Arthur so far, but I'm also seeing that the recommended lifts out of SRA ports, (perhaps from Solli?) appear oversized for places like Miri, Balikpapan, Brunei, others. I guess this is statement more than question, and I will cut down on my (heavy) losses to impressive allied subs, (even US faulties), I'm just wondering. Is it then normal for R/F/O convoys for the homeland to be sitting around waiting for full loads?. I see many merchies idle after the amphib bonus runs out. Other noobie imperialists be aware!

For anyone looking... I went into scen 1 and checked. The mini sub carriers (SOME minisub carriers, the ones that start at PH) Are the I-16 Class (14k endurance)excuse me I just checked, Type C1 class. I don't see anything on the ship screen that denotes these as 'SSX Carries'. If anyone knows further, I'd sure love to have the info. Thanks again to all.

and another thing... I see the SSXs have a range of 4000 with an endurance of 84, a single phase movement of 5. I set up a task force, give a destination 5 hexes away, and voila it comes up 'red' as if there is not enough (range?, endurance?) I'm giving it a try anyway, but these little boats are intriguing me. I've read that the actual strategy for their use involved release near fleet actions on the high seas...My plan is to try and use them where I am having a consistent repot of 'CV' in a task force - in 1/42 - at Singapore.

and another thing! as I creep into 1942 and start to try and handle all available upgrades, I must ask. Is there some sort of 'master list' for IJ upgrades ? I mean specifically the dates which upgrades become available for each class of whatever ship?

Its been a while since I've tried it, as I've changed my method of use for the SSX's. IIRC the method to load the sub is to select the SSX first and if there's a 'mother boat' carrier present the option will be available. Try that.

Welcome to our nightmare.[:D] No list that I know of anywhere. There's a screen that will allow you to set all ship upgrade options to on. Once that's done there's another that you may view to see which ships are currently upgrade-able. Since I prefer to get them to a proper port before that date so that they may start their upgrade immediately, I don't bother with either.

Thank you rustysi! I think I'm with you on the upgrades, some of those 1/42 destroyers have been pressed into ASW though, we'll see

Turns out - there is a master list of upgrade dates... kind of. Tracker identifies 'overdue upgrades' which, if checked at the first of the month is almost timely

And another thing... It just occurred to me as I'm transferring all these Heroes of the Empire to TRACOM. When is it enough? and when should I consider reactivating these guys? I'm assuming the answer to #2 is 'when you get killer planes', so really only #1 applies, I'm assuming that after 200 or more are transferred into TRACOM it might be OK to bring some back into action... anybody really thought about this?

I don't use tracker, but....
transferring all these Heroes of the Empire to TRACOM. When is it enough?

I don't send every TRACOM pilot to the pool. I leave a certain amount in the field. That being said I would then keep sending all others to the pool, no matter how large it gets. At least until I have my late war aircraft, or there was a real need.

Thanks rustysi, it is still only 1/42, so I've taken the approach to send all I can at least for awhile, I've got a lot of 79-80 guys, and lots of units training. I could use some more LR flying boat units... they are platinum.

and another thing! Really this is an advisory for others new to The Empire. Just because the message says '1 vp lost for inadequate garrison at XYZ' Doesn't mean there isn't damage also being done to the bases. MY GOD! I screwed up at Nanking, for about a week, with another week to fix the garrison... the place looks like it got firebombed!

One of my (few) complaints about the game - a single partisan attack during the night can wreck a Level 10 concrete runway!

Well ya ain't gonna get 'em. Welcome to the 'dark side'.[:D] Not many anyway, just another thing Japan could use more of...

Yeah, don't leave those sites ungarrisoned/under-garrisoned for long. I've gotten away with a point or two less for a while, but more than that is asking for trouble. Especially at bases where there's lots to destroy.

I feel your pain, but you know it is what it is, and that's on you. Maybe the Dev's intended it that way so you will in fact keep a proper garrison in place rather than ignoring it.[:)]

It started out much worse, partisan attacks would also damage industry( oil, refineries, resources, etc. )

ARGH!!! Friendly units engaged for some time now on the 'enemy' side of a river (I crossed into the hex). Somewhere I thought I read that once I was across, follow on units would not have to attack (and suffer those losses) to cross. Did I misread? This happened in Nanning, I had a regiment across and holding their own. I just brought up another regiment from Hanoi, but they lost 100 squads entering the hex, perhaps because I did this in movement mode? (I thought I had a 'rear' area in the contested hex, and thus could cross without penalty). I'm tooo sloppy, and it's starting to hurt!
