Yes, unless that Command HQ will start prepping for another base that also has an Army/Corp HQ prepping for the same one. That 1 in 5 could change to 1 in 3 if the base holds for a week or more.

Congratulations! You did very well in that exchange, and he will not be as blasé about the CA/CL losses as he pretends. More like:

Speed seems to play a big part in surface combat calculations, both in chances of getting hit and ability for the faster force to choose range and targets. In the first action the British at full speed were able to run out of Hiei's way and engage the faster part of his force. After Shropshire got hit and set afire, she likely slowed down enough to become an easy, well lit target for the second engagement. The British were likely running out of ammo in that one or they might have done even better.

Re: DDs, I think he only has about 160 or so all game, and about 40 of them are old and small - unsuitable for a SCTF. You can tell him though that you helped with his DD shortage by giving them fewer cruisers to escort.

Think of the issue along these lines.

1. Each hex has six hexsides. These hexsides are inner doors to the hex which is in the middle of all the six hexsides. In turn each of the six inner door hexsides also act as a single outer door to a separate hex on the border.

2. An unoccupied hex has neutral inner door hexsides. The inner door hexsides are not coloured green or red.

3. When a hex is occupied all six inner door hexsides automatically become owned by the side which first arrived in the hex.

4. When a unit moves into an occupied hex it turns the inner door hexside through which it entered to its ownership colour. However once the unit moves out of the hex all six inner door hexsides revert automatically to the colour of the side which remains in the hex.

5. A unit which is is defeated in battle and is forced to retreat, will only do so if:

(a) it has an inner door hexside coloured friendly (red for Japan, green for Allied), and
(b) there is no enemy unit present in the hex on the other side of the outer door hexside the retreating unit would pass through

To make things easy, overland supply flow follows the same rules.

Alfred

quote:


How far a base can receive supplies is determined by tracing a supply cost path starting value used is 100 just like witp. There are three different ranges used throughout each week 89 which is very short range and happens 4 times a week, 49 which is medium range and happens twice a week and 10 which is long range which happens once per week. These values are the minimum required trace value from sending base to receiving base and the trace value must be equal to or greater than this to receive supplies so you may notice that some bases only get supplies 3 times or in some cases once per week.

Short range is trace value of 89 - 100 and is used 4 times per week.
Medium range is trace value 49 - 100 and is used 2 times per week.
Long range is trace value 10 - 100 and is used 1 time per week.
