quote: Allied max defense: 38 - adjusted defense: 616 Can someone explain how this base force can have it's AV adjusted so high. 9 Forts - can triple the AV (38 x 3)= 114 100% prep can double it again = 228 HQ can double again = 458, and a second HQ could increase it again Terrain could put it up to 4 x as much (though i doubt Petropavlovsk is a city hex) = 1832... so, yes, a well prepped, well supplied unit could easily have 16 x the AV (which this unit does)... i am guessing 100% prep (2x), 4 forts (~2x), HQs (2 or 3x), and terrain... Also, the leader's Land Warfare balance can effect things... supply can effect downwards, and i've also wondered if OVERSUPPLY can help (though i've not seen any studies on this.) As for the fort going back up - i am guessing the fort was something at 99% constructed, and a fort level increased between days.

I don't want to come accross sounding negative like Castor Troy or Ron S but I am pretty gutted with myself and this game at the moment. There is nothing I can do except pull back out of 14 hex range. If I spread out like I did a few turns ago Tom attacks one base at a time, if I bunch for a strong stand it still doesn't work. Again the problem is the Allies know where the Jap has placed thier aircraft and the Jap only get 50% max cap. And all the time Tom attacks and takes bases at will in the DEI and PNG using barges, which are free and I can't attack. [image]local://upfiles/17173/E94DADCE80DD42DEA0D795C0878B9D84.jpg[/image]
