Status: offline 		how do you recon with carrier based air? The manual says left click on the unit then left click on the targeted hex (pg83). But this moves the carrier, I want to send a strike to an empty hex to see if anyone is there. An example of this can be found in the 42 high tide scenario with the Japanese fleet approaching midway. Can yoou use your airplanes to find out what is in front of you?
Thanks

Yes, this option is listed in the Hotkeys, and you can see these from one of the buttons at the top right of the screen while playing the game.

Well, you can call me stupid! I still can't see the option for a carrier to do recon?

Hi Toby

I think it should as the same functionality in this respect exists in both games. If someone has told you otherwise please ask them to let us know if it isn't working for them.

It works fine in World at War, but it doesn't work for me with War in Europe?
