Re: Strategy Help from Allied Players Only Please--Not my opponent if you dont mind.

To address your question, my answer would be more often "No, you cannot succeed with a divided India". By far. If you can't ship, put on yer runnin shoes

Re: days per turn vs IJ 'super-planning'

Thanks to you both. My question was definitely slanted toward the effects on IJ aggression. You off-handedly hit my nail squarely in your closing PaxMondo. The best strategy, whether early game as IJ or later as Ally appears identical. The lesser IJ Deathstar early vs the greater Allied Deathstar la...

days per turn vs IJ 'super-planning'

Having recently been exposed to some pretty astounding IJ successes, I'm curious about opinions on the effect of multi-day turns on Japanese master strokes. If it's not obvious, I am referring to PvP, not AI games. Are multiday turns any restraint to IJ super-aggressiveness? Any feedback out there? ...

Re: Retreat losses

Thanks GA. I know I've seen it where a unit definitely escapes in movement phase. With infantry in jungle, I recently had a Chinese escape with minimal losses having started movement at around 35 in combat mode. On a tangent, the Chinese HQ units seem very persistent. Even when taking crazy 26-1 del...

Re: Retreat losses

I did try to scan through the three pages attentively but may have missed any reference. I believe I have observed instances where combat units in combat mode but with a march destination set that have expended considerable movement points, say 35+ can escape combat near unscathed on a couple of occ...

Re: When to Island Hop vs When to Fight

I'm with Ranger Joe here. The magic word is Manus. You have to do all the prep work even if you invade Rabaul, then just don't. Plunk it down at Manus. You'll have air basing within weeks, his guys are trapped, and you didn't lose the casualties. Milne or something like it on islands, is part of the...

Re: what do you mean I'm not loading oil?

I figured it was industry related. As to why, it was just to help relieve early shortfall in Aus. I also ship from DEI and some Abadan whenever I see ongoing shortages. Little from USW, I'd never noted the LA deal before.

what do you mean I'm not loading oil?

Currently New Year's Day 1942. PvP game. Tanker docked in LA with 49k+ oil on hand. Won't load. At very beginning this was a 2-ship TF, and one loaded to less than full, but no more. So, I sent that one on its way. The remaining one has not loaded a thing since. I have swapped missions thru transpor...

Re: Industry

A few of things occurred to me... What difficulty level settings? Would that have an impact? Is all of this data coming vs AI? I didn't see any statement of a PvP. If indeed a driving factor is # of engineers remaining at surrender or loss, why not as defender set all ENG types to 'rest'? I am assum...

Re: 'pocket decoy' house rule?

Thanks for all the input! I was confident in my play anyway, but as a long-time gamer I hate the notion of my opponent thinking I'm playing under the table. If I use a Decoy, it's a DECOY; even the AI is making some value judgement as to what to pursue and with what. The only time I even consider a ...

Re: 'pocket decoy' house rule?

I don't know. I guess its most likely he thought I was using decoys, but in fact I was just trying to get out of Singapore and Palembang, but once I segregated by speed and best destination, there were several TF, and some more with attempts to get small units out of Singapore, and supply in. I told...

'pocket decoy' house rule?

Anybody ever hear of this? Can you explain it to me? I'm beginning to think perhaps my IJ opponent is not as proficient in English as I first thought. Although we have no such house rule, he has characterized my play as a blockade of Palembang and the Molucca strait and a symptom of this house rule ...

So what about ARDs?

Got myself wrangled into a game of Da Babes. I see from the ship listings that ARDs repair FLT damage only. How do they actually 'work'. They don't seem to add their capacity to repair yards and the don't pop up in the repair menu like a repair ship. Can someone please help me along?

Re: Bataan combat

How aggressively have you isolated him from any incoming supply? Are you monitoring your fatigue and disruption? Just questions, no offense. Otherwise ensure you have all the engineers and tanks you can muster and bombard all the time, whether attacking or not, unless fatigue/disruption sets in. Som...
