The real question is whether the US could drop enough trucks in the Pacific to walk from LA to Tokyo Bay, or enough Liberty ships to foxtrot from Frisco to Fukushima.

I have to agree that Singapore is FAR to hard to take in this game. The forts and terrain bonuses are stupidly high.

Is it possible GH forgot to set reaction range on the following TF to zero? They may have reacted away from the transport TF mid-turn in an effort to intercept the Allied cruiser TF or something else that they had seen or thought they'd seen. Especially if the commander of the surface combat TF had a high aggressiveness stat, this could have been the culprit.

So this was Cape Egano and Taffy 5, except the fox got among the chickens this time. Ouch.

Now that the mighty BB has prevailed over the puny airplane ship, the AI should start cancelling the Essexes in favor of Iowas, Montanas, and Alaskas.

Just so everyone knows: WitP AE is on sale for $30.00 (!)

That's the lowest I've ever seen it, and I've finally decided to buy it and flail around like the idiot I am trying not to get all of my carriers sunk.

I picked it up on this sale, and am kinda staggered with how big it is. Just watching turn 1 run itself is amazing.

I'm starting the smaller scenario where you invade from Ceylon, and can't figure out how to load an invasion force. Time to hit the manual.

What a battle, Grey!

Ok, Ive captured Lunga and have some Seabees set in Strategic Mode in Noumea. When I go to load troops into a Transport TF with an AK, the only troops available are planes and an HQ. How do I pick up actual troops?

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:

You need an AP or xAP to load troops. AKs just carry cargo.

Yup. The manual says AKs can carry troops but the one I have selected has 0 troop capability. Welcome to supply duty little dude.

e: adding AP or xAK still only allows me to select air units / HQ for transport.

Obv not working the right knob

e2: unit I'm trying to move is in a restricted hq, maybe that's the issue.

e3: DAMMIT, so political points can moved pull troops out of my rear HQ to the right spot.

Someone on the AI team read Shattered Sword. I can't do much against six CVs in the Solomons in March '42. The AI really wants PM and may get it.
