Status: offline 		While playing the Omaha and Utah Beach scenarios, I cannot access the 16-inch naval guns or my reinforcements. I have read the manual (and re-read the manual). I do not know what I am doing wrong and it is more than a little frustrating not to put into play my airborne reinforcements at Utah Beach. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I forgot my manners welcome aboard OC hold on tight your in for a bumpy but enjoyable ride on this forum. :) :) :cool:

Status: offline 		OC; I just checked the Omaha, the author put no 16" rifles (not guns) in scenario hence no can shoot, you can't add unless you've used the editor and I'm not familiar enough on that subject. Ditto for reinforcements, if not in canned scenario save the troops you got cause they ain't nomore nohow. Also checked Utah same same problem. Sorry about that guy but that's the way the beach sand crumbles.:( :rolleyes: :cool:

Status: offline 		Chief, I was wrong, the unit in Omaha beach was a 14" naval gun, not a 16" naval gun. I went to unit list on the tool bar and it is the second M0 unit, near the end of the list of all units.

The reinforcements are in the canned Utah beach scenario. They show up on turns 1-4 and consist of infantry, armor, arty, airborne infantry, and engineering armor (tank dozer).

Thanks.

Status: offline 		OC: I finally saw problem....OMAHA..roster shows 14" rifle but when you try to find it on B button it's a no show.

Now on the Utah, the 16" Naval rifle (BXO) is listed as imobilized immediately, whether or not it becomes available is up to game gods. Reserves are not available until turns 8 &9 and then again at turns 12 thru 17. Again they may or may not show up when scheduled, the high command may have shifted their landing beach, again the (mis)fortunes of war. This info is available on the UNit Roster screen on the right side of battle screen. You can't call up reserves yourself in a canned situation scenario even though theres a button f? that says do you want to or something like that.

Now did this help any ?

Status: offline 		OC: I noticed your no spring chicken either, read ur udder post. Hey guy if you have problems this is the forum to be in. You know I read that Omaha and Utah scenarios over and over before I finally saw the light (and answer).

By the way beach landings need lots lots of smoke and engineers to get rid of mines. Even with an FO assigned to and insight of pillboxes etc., they usually miss. If you want a pretty sight blow up a ammo depot....beautiful work.

:D :eek: :cool:

Status: offline 		Chief, sorry I haven't replied to your note, life intervened. Soccer, little league, work and trying to get an insurance adjuster to the house. We had a little hail storm, depending on where you lived, the stones ranged from baseball to soccer ball sized. At my place, they were just baseball to softball, kids thought I was crazy to have them put a softball beside the hailstones, until I told them they had something to compare to.

Still want to try PBEM sometime, how do we do this? I read the manual, seems simple enough, but like everything else, until you actually do it, it is all just theory.

Good luck, God Bless and hope you had a great Fourth!
