Rebuilding Carrier Air Groups

[Aerosol2207]

Hi All - I have suffered some losses to my CAGs but have gotten the Hornet and Yorktown back to Pearl safely. Oddly, I am able to replenish VB-5, VS-5, and VS-8 from SBD-3's that I have available in my pool, but despite having more available Dauntlesses, VB-8 does not allow me to add any planes. This is also the case for a couple of P-40 squadrons I have on hand at Pearl, i.e. some P-40 squadrons have the arrow available to add planes from the pool but some other units do not. I was hoping some one might be able to shed light on this so I can build out my air groups smartly. None of the groups in question are due for withdrawal. Thanks for any help!

In the reinforcements and replacements section of the rules it states that a maximum of 12 planes can be added to each group as replacements every 7 days. Could it be that you have previously added planes to these groups in this time period?

I have found you can add 23 every 7 days. Just press the single add button 11 times then the button that adds 12 planes. Works on land and carrier aircraft.

If that's true, it's a bug . It shouldn't work that way. I'll check it out tomorrow....GP

No No. I've only ever used it against the AI. Please don't fix it.

Plus it goes way back in every version since they changed it from the only way to add extra planes was with the in reserve button.

Well, it's an exploit. Bug. Hopefully players will not use it in a pbem....GP
