There is a bit of a learning curve to this game, to say the least. [:)]




dtravel -> RE: a few newbie questions (7/28/2006 5:17:06 AM)

No there isn't.  There is no learning curve at all for this game.

There is a learning cliff.

(We still haven't heard back yet from the first guys to jump off that cliff, by the way.  But we expect to any day now.)

[:D]

What dtravel said.

I haven't jumped off yet, but like most of us I'm clinging at the edge. [;)]

2. 6x AKs and 3x APs in under a month in casualties as the Japanese. In addition to 2x DDs and 1x SS. Navy pool of pilots gone... (I don't understand this, as I started out with 100 in the navy pool and 200 in the army pool (I think). I've lost 134 a/c, and yet, my pool of pilots have been reduced by much more than that.

3. Will the allies be able to supply their troops at Bataan in the PI, even though I have complete air and naval supremacy. And if not, will they starve to death? Does the same go for Singapore?

4. What have you normally taken after a month of gametime, playing as the Japanese?


Hi

First of all: this forums have a special AAR section where all of us (I hope so) post their war reports. If you plan to post your succeses here, please start a tread in the AAR section instead. Please check it out, it can be of a great help also[;)].

2. Ship loses are acceptable for a such period. I'd say they are miserable. Don't worry about it, you'll lose much more in a future. And about pilots pool... well, have you read the Mogami Method's description? I suppose you didn't, because if you did, you'll never complain about drawing pilot's pool... please listen to the one's who are trying to help you.

3. The allies willn't be able to supply troops in Bataan... nor in Singapore all in all. The AI can't manage this, as far as I'm concerned[:)]. They will not die themselves, you'll have to to come and siege them. Be pacient, bombard for a time period (let's say, 3 weeks or month would be just ok) and then attack. With lack of supply there will be no problems to capture them.

4. Nothing serious. Trapped forces in Philippines in Manila (less forts, easier to siege), Davao, Tarakan, Kuching, Brunei, Miri, Hong Kong, Changsha, Rabaul, Canton, Wake, most part of Malaya to Sing. Sieging takes time, and you can't eliminate huge forces without sieging. That's it, just be pacient, don't hurry. And read the posts also[:)].

Alex.

Many of the IJNAF Nell and Betty units start out with 36 a/c (9 in reserve) and 27 pilots. If you have 'replacements' set to ON, this might be where all your pilots have gone.

You might also visit the WitP Wiki (link in my signature), though it is inclomplete and hasn't been updated for a while - still some valuable information, collected from the manual and many forum entries...
