Missing Bull Halsey - 9/23/2005 11:01:31 PM

I'm playing a campaign starting Dec 7.

I just realized, Admiral Halsey is nowhere to be found. Can't make him a TF commander, nor head of South Pacific.

I have lost no carriers so I'm assuming he wasn't KIA.

Does he not show up till later?

What is the game date?...

I think Halsey starts as one of your CV TF's CO.

Leader bug. well known and been around forever. I had Halsey in command of a 2 CV group and next thing I knew some Jap 2nd Lt was in command of the carriers. No Halsey in sight.

Its one of my 2 pet pevs about this game.

He should start in command of the CV Enterprise IIRC

Yep, 2nd Lt. Kira is now the commander of the Enterprise.

Hmm....

Can I assume I've lost him for the rest of the campaign?

I killed the last game cause I lost 2 Corp HQs and HQ for Southwest Pacific (including Douglass McArthur) while air transporting them.

These bugs are really annoying.

Is there anyway to get back Halsey?

Actually, try going back 3 turns from when you last had Halsey and restart from there. It worked for me in a previous game...

I say give Lt Kira a chance. If he's any good you can promote him to CinC SoPac.

That is what I meant

or did I say restart game? Oh, I was thinking the date he lost Halsey to be 7 Dec 41. Under 1.6 I always appoint Halsey - as SoPac Commander bulletproofed against kidnap by aliens - as soon as his tf touch base - at around 9 Dec 41. Sure don't want my best naval leader to disappear.

I'm a Spruance fan so its been a while since I went looking for the Bull.

I'm in the middle of 1942 so its too late. 2nd Lt Kira (I'm assuming hes Japanese air force, not naval) has impressive air stats ;-)

I guess Ghormley gets to say on as C of SoPac.

BTW - is there a list somewhere with commanders with good air ratings so I don't have to click on every single commander to figure out who is good for what?

I just noticed that my campaign game has been sabatoged by this same bug. I have lost all of the good American CV CAPTs, no more F. Sherman, G.D. Murray, or D. Ramsey, instead I have no-names with stats like 27/32 or worse. The real kicker is that there are few if any leaders capable of commanding CVs. I have no idea if this no-name leaders will result in my having lousy CV strikes, I am afraid now to even fight my first CV battle in 5/1942 and this is after going thru the full SRA/Phillipines/Malaya beat down by the AI IJN/IJA *sigh*.

Hi,

You could try Caltone's worksheet at Spooky's website :

Look s like patch v1.602 is the way to go tominimise these leader problems.
Cheers!

How will the spreadsheet help. I notice you can get a feel for who is competent, but it does not seem like an editor. I hope this post does not come across the wrong way, I am grateful for your help though. I am just frustrated by what has happened.

No way to get those leaders back unfortunately, not even with Caltone's worksheet. Once the bug has hit and the leaders have gone, they're gone for good I'm afraid.

The Wasp is commanded by a Japanese WO. Has 72 air skill.

All right!
