1) In the INFO screen, I see something calles "operational losses" for japs and allies.
I couldn't find in the manual any explanation what these operational losses should be.
What is it ? Lost men ? lost resources ?

2) If you are about to evacuate a base with resources and oil and fuel. would it be better to only take with you the fuel (as the enemy won't be able to get the resources and oil) or also some amount of resources and oil (because upon loss of the base you suddenly miss a great deal of resources and oil).
Say the base has 15000 resources, 8000 oil and 10000 fuel and you have only AK capacity for 20% of that total of goods.

3) The repair ships; do they only function in a harbour with the victim ship? In any harbour size port the same effectiveness ?
Or does it help if I send a repair ship to a heavily damaged ship in the ocean ?

Cheers

1. Airplanes
2. If allies evac oil if you can, if not it is not a big deal. It is more to take it away from Japan that it is for you to use it.
3.In port

1) aircraft lost to "operational losses" represent planes destroyed due to crashing on takeoff/landing. damage to the aircraft in combat and weather greatly factor here. For transfers from one friendly base to another, range of transfer and weather factor.

2) Evac the fuel first. That way the enemy has to spend time shipping in their own fuel which is time consuming.

3) AR's only work if in a port. IIRC they modify the size of the port in terms of repair (3 levels i think) The AR can be docked or disbanded in the port. Works the same.

From the manual (Rule 13.4, p.183): "A repair ship may help four ships per turn repair (bonus equal to increasing the port size by 1)."

At least one person has reported that the AR must be disbanded to help but no one knows anything for certain really. The entire ship repair process is such a black box that I suspect even the programmers don't have a clue.

Evac the supplies, that's the one thing the enemy can't live without.
