<t> I'm betting that your opponent assumes there is no supply going into Luzon. He's been waiting because Luzon doesn't produce more supplies than you consume and you'll be easier and easier to defeat over time. Your blockade runners are going to make him wish he'd dealth with Luzon back in December...

<t> If you can take Tinian and prevent him from taking Saipan, you might still win on points. You still have to sink his remaining Japanese capital ships, though. Assuming both Japanese fleets sunk, the winner will be determined by who takes the most (or Saipan) of the 3 islands. <br/> <br/> You for...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Bradley7735<br/> <br/> IMO, the player needs to make that decision before the factories convert. If you're within 30 days of the plane going into production, keep them and have them convert to production, or convert them to another R&D plane type. I'm sure ther...

<t> I hate to talk trash about the game, but I've notice a huge tendency for my carrier torpedo bombers to target DD's and ignore the CA's and BB's (90% in most cases).

Hi Michael,

I'm getting a crash when I click on a fighter group located at PH. Open the Allied side, go to Pearl. Click on the air group icon. Click on any of the Army air groups (I've tried one of the P-40 variants 3 times). The game crashes.
