Thanks Don, I believe the 70th Pursuit squadron and ground elements of the 7th BG were also embarked. Does this mean that the Johnson may be included in the next oob update? Also sources say that "a" President Garfield left with the President Johnson (albeit separately) with reinforcements for USAFFE as well. Now the old Garfield became the Madison and that we know was in the proximity of the PI when war broke out. So I assume that it must be the C3-A President Garfield prior being taken over by the navy and renamed President Jefferson, but in the game the President Jefferson doesnt enter the game until March 42 at Balboa. So I guess I am a bit confused. Any clarification?


Hi TIMJOT. The Garfield is the SS President Garfield, a C3-A-P&C, built for American President Lines, 1941. After PH she had 2 additional voyage charters for the Navy in the Pacific and returned to the Atlantic in January, 1942. In April, 1942, she began Navalization conversion to an AP at Newport News SB & DD Co. Officially acquired by the Navy, May, 1, 1942. Completed conversion and commissioned USS Thomas Jefferson (AP-60), August, 1942. Transited the canal to return to Pacific service, September, 1942.

Any reason they were not included in AE? Also, because I know you like this stuff here is an interesting link that confirms anecdotally that at least part of the ground echelon for the 19th BG were embarked on the Pres.Johnson.http://www.ww2pacific.com/johnson.html

As far as I can tell, the army ships are sea were:
Transports Etolin, Tasker H Bliss, President Johnson, and President Garfield - enroute Hawaii from West Coast.
Luriline, enroute West Coast from Hawaii
Hugh L Scott and President Coolidge returning West Coast from Philippines
Republic and W.A. Holbrook enroute Philippines in the Pensacola Convoy

Freighters Cynthia Olson, Malama, Jupiter, and Montgomery City enroute Hawaii from West Coast (not sure of destination for last two)
Ludington enroute Philippines via Christmas and Canton Islands and then the Torres Strait.
Bloemfontein and Meigs in the Pensacola Convoy
Mauna Loa, Portmar and Jane Christenson, destinations unknown but probably Philippines. Diverted to Australia.
James (or John?) Lykes enroute Hawaii from Philippines, having been part of Boise Convoy. Diverted to Cebu, then NEI. Not sure, may have been voyage chartered and charter expired upon unload in Manila.

All campaign games.
Certain subs upgrading/converting to transport subs (SST) in the game, have their torpedoes removed.
If that doesn't work for you, then don't upgrade/convert.
Torpedoes or Transport - it's your choice.

If you don't like the leaders, try doing this:
click on the ship;
click on the leader;
look at the list;
select whatever leader you want.
save.

And some are BUILT as SSTs, because that's what happened historically. You can always decide not to build them, but the data is correct and will not be changed.

You'll want leader 17196 (Roskill) for Leander, and 17192 (Parry) on Achilles. I'll try to slip it into a future patch.

Status: offline 		This issue may have been asked and answered, but in the "future," will you be able to regulate how much supply you load unto your transports?? I plan to play 2 day turns in at least one PBEM game as Japan. After I load my troops and cargo on my transports, the rest will automatically be filled with supplies. I would like to be able to regulate that amount in increments of 1000. If there is a way to regulate the amount of supply being loaded now, please share it with me.

I'd like to have this too. This feature, and a number of others, was considered. It would be a mark one, left handed bitch to do. Adding base daily cargo handling capacity to the calculations proved unexpectedly difficult and generated an embarrassing number of bugs. Adding another level of control would be exponentially more so. Sorry to say it's probably going to have to wait for a major rewrite or until the famous WITP II.

Nope. Incremental loading isn't going to fly either; ships have capacities from 80 to 7000 and everything in between. After you have loaded your troops and are in the middle of loading supply, you could just cast off early.

Pooh, Don beat me to it again.

Sheesh, yeah, ok. 2 kinds of scenarios; the campaigns and the smaller, directed ones. Sometimes a global class fix for the campaigns comes through, and the Guad, Alaska, Coral Sea guys may not pick up on it. Lookin at stuff, that's just wha hoppen here.

If you are a 'perfectionist", I can show ya how to tweak the db to make everything just ducky. Otherwise, why not just deal with it. It don't hurt, and the first ammo rearm puts everything back to where it ought to go. The scenario designers are aware of this, but it's one of those 'restart' things so maybe tomorrow. Not something worth breaking anybody's bones over. Ciao.

Looked at the db and the Chenango a/g for scen004 have delay set to 9999, so obviously, their non apperance is WAD.

Also, though, if you don't give enough time for a response (5 days is probably a rational amount), don't bump. These guys are doing their best and are as dedicated as you are.

It's hot enough as it is (I'm in Southern California), so my suggestion is to get a nice large ice cube filled glass of iced tea before responding...

The Ironman Scenario contains a Mogami class and a Tone class CA both named "Asama". You might rename one of them, perhaps to "Aso".

Also, Ship Class 2025, Kongo Maru AMC, has Wpn 3 and Wpn 4 both on the RIGHT side. One of them should probably be on the LEFT side.
