It was a real surprise to see the actual Jap replay report and discover that Yamashiro took a torp. I raised the altitude of the aircraft to 1000 ft next turn and the game is back in sync.

Ron Saueracker -> Surface combat is on a par with playing with boats in a bathtub. (9/20/2006 3:21:02 PM)
. [image]local://upfiles/5522/37B8652AF0D84B41922F1A7398503518.jpg[/image] Here is the report from the totally whacked surface battle. This hodge podge design failure needs to be one of the big revamps we should push for.

I still find it amazing that with so many obvious major issues this game remains my favourite, as is the case with so many of us. Guess in lieu of water we are desperate enough to drink sand. quote: Rant mode on. Well, I really got shafted by Gary Grigsby that turn. Nothing in this game works for s--t. That Cruiser TF that got wiped out was 250 miles away with orders to follow the POW TF away from Kendari. Of course, this requires one to set the TF to Patrol and follow a TF with react set to zero which it was. You watched what happened, the poorly designed naval unit interface screwed me. This game is frustrating beyond belief. On top of this, the TF is getting killed, it fights another round despite having a speed advantage, in complete contrast to the other battle when one would expect another round of combat but it withdraws. I don't mind losing battles but I hate it when the game is the culprit. Rant mode off.

Ron Saueracker -> RE: AAR time (9/20/2006 4:55:24 PM)
Bill is a much more dangerous opponent as Japan in this game. Our other game represents his first attempt playing Japan and he has obviously learned alot since we started that game. The only mistake he made in this game was allowing his weakly defended Kendari invasion TF to be caught by the RN mid ocean, but fortune often favours the bold, not that my sending SC TFs into the teeth of mini KB was not bold as well.
