Again, thank you guys.

Really helpful.

[&o]

<t> Thanks for the clarification!<br/> <br/> Another couple of questions:<br/> <br/> - do ships load/unload cargo faster if they're docked?<br/> - CAP only protects the hex it originates from while LRCAP provides CAP over nearby hexes, correct?<br/> - do subs still react to targets when I use "remai...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Oh, and in case you're not aware all searches are conducted 360 degrees out to a range of four hexes, provided the A/C has sufficient range, no matter what arc you set. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> I don't think I understand... If I set a search arc for a squadron to, say 6...

<t> The Cactus Airforce just wrecked a Japanese attempt to reinforce Tassafaronga, with a little help from Saratoga. [:D]<br/> <br/> I'm still rather horrible when it comes to logistics though but sloooowly I'm starting to understand the basics. Like not getting my carriers run out of fuel in the mi...

I just checked, I had all Wildcats squadrons set to patrol at 15k feet. The last Betty attacks were at 6-7k. I changed CAP to 10k and just wiped out a small strike (3 Zeros, 6 Betty) with no losses.

[:D]

<t> Yeah, I'm still experimenting with the reaction range. <br/> <br/> Another thing I'm not sure about: I currently have a couple of Wildcat and Dauntless squadrons stationed at Henderson, plus 2 squadrons of Avengers (from the Enterprise) which I want to move out, but can't since many of the group...

Thank you, much appreciated.

<t> I might be doing something right! Just sank both Shokaku and Zuikaku in the Guadalcanal scenario with combined airstrikes from Henderson field and my CV force (Enterprise, Saratoga, Wasp). <br/> <br/> Enterprise got hit in return but I hope I can save her. <br/> <br/> [:D]<br/> <br/> EDIT:<br/> ...

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'll reduce the range of the attack planes to match my escorts' range then. And will experiment with all squadrons flying naval search.

<t> Since I'm currently (re-) learning how to play this amazing wargame I have some questions:<br/> <br/> A squadron of Dauntless dive bombers on board a CV has orders for naval attack and airfield attack. They are also tasked with naval search (20%) to cover a 60° arc. The altitude is set to 10.000...

<r> It's interesting to see that Omaha was pretty much the perfect scenario for the German defenders: a division with rather high combat value in fortified positions that suffered only minimal losses in the initial aerial bombardment. And <I><s>[i]</s>still<e>[/i]</e></I> the Allies managed to condu...

Press keys 0-7 for various levels of detail for the combat resolution phase.

<t> In that scenario you get only 1 temp port/airfield at Licata, but you already have two ports in Siracusa and Gela and two AFs at Gela and Pachino. Probably a scenario design decision. You have more than enough airpower to deny the Germans interdicting your naval supply routes though. If the coas...

When testing the air war I found that GP bombs on average did ~ 30% more damage than incendiaries.

Ouch, three airborne and an armoured div routed, that's got to hurt.

I already had a bad feeling when looking at the 1st pic that showed your offensive into Belgium and the para drops. Quite a bit too ambitious IMO considering the Germans still were far from broken.

Thanks for that AAR Loki, really enjoy reading it.

<t> I've played the old V4V series many years ago. WitW is definitely a step up the complexity ladder. For example, the air war alone is basically a wargame in its own right. The learning curve in WitW is pretty steep, no doubt about that. I've been playing on and off for about a month now and am sl...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: XXXCorps<br/> <br/> I love my manual and would only part with it for a ridiculously exorbitant sum.

Very interesting turn of events.
