After looking at this situation more closely in my Allied game vs. Jap AI, I think it has to do more with distance and better targets. If I take a single ship TF too close to an enemy airbase, it (AI) will surely devote some planes to make an attack. But if the distance is much greater, I would guess a dice roll will prefer a better target if one is available. Patrol sightings have alot to do with it too. I find the AI will attack a base about 99% of the time over sending aircraft long distances to attack the sighting of 1 ship.... JIM I have noticed that myself. If the ships go to Bataan, the planes from Formosa attack and vice versa, so it is indeed a close proximity issue. Which is good, because it makes the game a bit more harder to tackle.

Yes and its a right pain in the posterior if the allies can pull it off, see our AAR: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=943426 for details Roger Ah, I remember reading this once, a year back. Nice writing, my good sir! Anyway, it is good to know that atleast someone was able to hold onto Sing. Any tips you can give? As an Allied player, one of my goals is to try and defend Singapore, mainly for historical reasons but still. And I hope you don't feel offended but if I may comment as lastly, if that is your picture as an avatar, I must say, you do indeed look like a very relaxed chap there. Cheers. What a great and enjoyable AAR, Roger - kudos to all concerned Very rude of me not to respond, but fact is I missed the comments here... away and other things to do perhaps. I look forward to another game where my hero Flashman can star as the main character.... but not yet. as regards how to hold Singers it had a lot to do with the enemy not bringing enough force into play fast enough. I cannot claim any credit for that, its simply the way the game went the Japs hit lots of places with forces that were not really strong enough to do the job... and once the initial steam ran out we went for the kill big time! I doubt if we would be allowed to get away with it again! Cheers Roger
