Hello.
Aside from the title and prompted by Undercovergeek's queries, I avidly read a few threads on the merits/shortcomings of CHS, RHS, NikMod and Andrew Brown's & Subchaser's maps. I am intrigued and baffled at the same time, as the possible mix/match of the above can be daunting to one who is still learning the game stock-mode. However, once I finish my stock-15 campaign, I can see myself dabbling in these new tools, and will revert at that time.
Now, in my afore-mentioned campaign. Late November '44. Japan is in ruins, only running the game to enrich my experience with amphib ops, land combat (in Indochina/China), understanding the way the AI moves overland supply to bases (akwardly in my experience) and trying out the newer aircraft types. In addition, I am looking forward to the availability of the first atomic bomb & the Soviets activation.
One puzzling obervation: Palembang is still held by the Japs. It has been isolated for nearly a year, not a single enemy ship has come even close. Bombed (AF/Port, ground units) every turn by 200+ planes. Surprisingly, there is over 100K in both fuel & supplies stockpiled there! Only logical explanation I can come up with is that since said base produces huge amounts of oil/resources, they convert to fuel/supplies. Am I correct in this belief? As to why I haven't strategically bombed Palembang, I wanted to give the enemy a fighting chance (proven wrong there, since they were unable to ship any oil/resources home since early 1944).
Another question to do with P-61A Black Widow. Used to love this plane in Pacwar, but in WitP it comes as a night fighter variant. I use my squadrons as day fighter-bombers, targeting airfields. Any additional profitable assignment that I may employ, given the planes' nightly abilities?
Thx
