ORIGINAL: seaforth7
Just started my first full campaign game and I've a couple of questions that I can't seem to locate answers for in the manual.
TF commanders - It talks about a flagship and its commander being the TF commander but I can't find out how you select (or even identify) the Flagship for the taskfoce? In addition how do you know who is the TF commander and how you assign a new one.
Moving an individual commander - how do you move an individual commander around? I.E. how do you pull MacArthur out of Manila?
cheers
Flagships-
The Flagship of a TF is determined by the type of ship. Generally, the most powerfull combat ship in the TF will be selected.
For example, in a Surface Combat TF with 1 BB, 2 CA, and 4DD, the BB would be the Flagship. In a Transport TF with 1 DD, 1 PC, 3 AP, and 4 AK, the DD would be the Flagship.
For TFs that have two or more types of same-class ship, the last ship of the same-class selected would be the Flagship.
For example, an Air Combat TF with both Enterprise and Yorktown; if you want Enterprise to be the Flagship, select Yorktown first, then Enterprise.
Note that this rule also applies when transferring ships between TFs. In my example above, if I later transferred Hornet to the TF, Hornet would become the Flagship.
For TFs that have two or more of the same type, but different-class ship, the determining factor is the Durability of the class.
For example, a Sims-class DD would be chosen Flagship before a Clemson-class DD.
The default TF Commander is the Commander of the TF Flagship.
To change the TF Commander, the TF must be at a base. Then click on the yellow name of the current TF Commander. This will open up a screen of available TF Commanders. Click on the name of the Commander you want and select "Done". Note that changing TF Commanders does cost PPs.
Individual Leaders don't actually "move". If they are assigned to a unit, they will be present with the unit, and move where the unit moves.
To change LCU Leaders, the process is the same as changing TF Commanders- click on the Leaders name, click the names of the new Leader, and select "Done". Again, changing Leaders costs PPs. Note that unlike TFs, a LCU doesn't have to be at a base to change it's Leader.
As for MacArthur, there is no need to change him; there is actually two MacArthurs in the game, one in Command of USAFFE, and another in Command of SouthWest Pacific. They have identical stats, and losing the one in the PI won't affect the arrival of the other one.
Hope this helps.
