Two day turns is definitely more of a challenge. For a really good challenge, try three days.

Not that I've ever done that, mind you.

Cheers,

Commander -

I did some editing then did one turn (two day cycle on hard) and it was... not bad at all!

School bus driving training started this week (the kids start on Monday), so I have the weekend to give it a go. The faster paced game cycle really appeals. Am not ready for a three day cycle.

Against the AI, it really balances the game a lot. The AI of course will adjust every turn no matter what, while you as the player cannot.

I am going to start up this scenario this weekend and could use some advice for settings.

I'd rather not tinker with the Allied OOB using the editor my first time through.

Here are my thoughts:
Reliable USN Torps ON
Withdrawal OFF
Historical 1st turn OFF
Surprise ON
Move existing TF on Dec 7th.
Difficulty HARD.

Suggestions?

Comments?

Diabolical!

I love that on the 8th there is actualy anxiety (panic!!) along the W. Coast of the USA. Instead of the usual click-fest setting up ASW ops, getting troops/airgroups trained and expanding bases, real thought must be given to LCU's etc. I especially like that there is some real use for units like the 7th Mech Inf Div, which normally don't have enough time to do anything before withdrawl.

I look forward to playing this further, espcially as I wait for turns in my PBEM game.

Well done sir!

p.s. I usually switch to 2-day turns vs the AI after the first few turns. Maybe not with this beast.

Wait till may 42.

Lets just say supply to some areas becomes....Problematic....And yes, I'm using LCU's I have not used in any previous game....GP

I built an additional Lex class CV and put a CA, 2CL's and 6DD's with her. Had her appear as a reinforcement at Port Stanley in mid jan 42. To long a wait. All of my CV's at that point were damaged to some extent or another and I was down to 40% airframes on them. Didn't lose them though....GP

Gents -

Just revisited this thread. My current game is Andy Mac's DBA IM NN (Scn 50)- started last December. Wanted to follow through before getting into this one- Scn 60. I did, at initial release start Scn 60 to see what happens. A very unusual first two turns; I potted my two Allied CV TF back to the (relative) safety of the West Coast. Lo and Behold they both ran into Kido Butai, sequentially, at night. There was no combat, all three TF's withdrew. The wonderful part was that Kido Butai did not attack Pearl Harbor; am not sure if that was a design intent or the result of the night time retirements. That does not, however, mean that the Kido Boys will not be back again... In any event, the game is three or four days into the campaign and will be on hold till I am done with the DBA 50 IM NN.

Am looking forward to playing...

Mac

Wow, just looked at this! I'm tempted to add B-36's to the Allies (at one point they expected to have them around 8/45) for the eventual reconquest, or the final pitched battle off of LA ...
