Correct supply usage goes up a lot and they generate fatigue and disruption over time reducing combat effectiveness.



So that's the limits in WitP-AE for overstacking?

There are no hardcoded limits in a sence that they all simply can't be there in first place?


Please shed some more light on this - thnaks in advance!


Sorry guys as I said in land section I want to test what we have and make sure I am happy with it before I get to specific on this one.


Thanks Andy!

BTW, this was written here before this was asked and answered (by you) in Scenario section...

Status: offline 		Only two things I would like to see in the new edition...

1.  In the new game manual, please segregate the new rules from the original rules, or color-code it or something.  I really don't want to have to read that monster again.

2.  Please take your time in getting this out.  One of the frustrations of the original was that there were a host of bugs and also new content which required a restart.  The frustrating part was that it took so much time to play that having to constantly restart was a party killer.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Status: offline 		The planeguard mission has always been in WITP. If you place a submarine in the target hex, it increases the likelihood of the return to the unit of pilots who are shot down. You don't have to designate the sub's mission as a planeguard, but placing it there serves the purpose.

SIGINT should locate major bases instantly - and gain some data about them - even if no photographic data is available.
It should locate minor bases EVENTUALLY - and gain rare bits of data about them.

Operational ESM should locate any TF using radar within 2 hexes - but this ONLY applies to TF with ESM gear on some vessel. Similarly, aircraft headed at a major base should pretty well always find it - riding in the signals generated by the target itself (as JNAF did at Pearl Harbor - using Radio Honolulu). In particular, the US is "radioactive" and broadcasts almost all the time - and the Japanese exploited that. So the chances of finding a US vessel or base should be very high - at least for an ESM fitted ship or sub.

Unfortunately an update to the weather code hasn't been included, but could be included in a later patch.

one wish is to give land units a hex designated as the retreat hex; possible different orders for "last stand" and "fighting withdrawal" so as to keep some combat strength together during the withdrawal and not be always decimated.

Status: offline 		Hey gang, I'll read through what I'm sure are some great posts later, however, I wanted to put up a quick response now:

Please update the UI to be slightly more modern, and snappier in response times. This includes more resolutions to choose from, bigger buttons, easier navigation, and overall faster response times from the interface.

As great a game as it is, I found myself constantly battling the UI on turns where I had a lot of upkeep.

Yes, but this really needs to be worked. Scuttling saves the crew, passengers, and any embarked airgroups (and associated personnel victory points) but loses the ship, aircraft, cargo, and equipment--unless, of course, there's no place to evacuate them to. If you scuttle in a friendly port, the personnel land. If you scuttle at sea, the personnel move to other ships in the TF. (Then if you want to keep it simple, those personnel move to the dead pile, to reform later.) If you scuttle away from those options, the personnel use life rafts, with the usual outcome of that evolution. You can probably handle this with about 10 lines of code, using a call to the logic used when a unit is disbanded voluntarily.

Status: offline 		I think that what he is referring to is the loss of pilots on scuttled ships. What he is asking for is for the pilots stationed aboard a ship that is being scuttled to be returned to the pilot pool rather than being lost.

I belive that Herwin thought your response was to m10bob's question.

That with a rescale of the points lost for scuttling to account for the crew saved would do.

1) Improved AI - maybe already included, or likely but I haven't read anything

2) Improved UI - sigh, impossible/unlikely but oh well it is a wish!
- Bigger Buttons!
- Better Fonts! (yes I know about -altfont, but most of the time the fonts still look nasty since the window elements around them don't resize)
- Wide screen resolutions!
- Movable/Resizable windows

Really looking forward to getting my paws on AE!

(2) Battle Honors for land combat units listing losses for both sides and location of battle.

(3) Battle Honors for Squadrons giving Kills and losses and location.

A Dream for the future no doubt!

I find it irritating that the base force unit in Bora Bora gets its radar and infantry squads before the one in Port Moresby! I know that you can just turn off replacements completely, but that base force in Bora Bora needs support squads - thus my wish to be able to fine tune the replacements.

I don't think they fine-tuned replacements that carefully.

I'd also like Japan to get some form of useful information from the intelligence screen at least once in the war.

Having the Manchuoko forces and navy modelled more accurately would be sweet too.

On a more serious note, really looking forward to this expansion even though I'll have to upgrade my game PC to play it.
