Califvol -> Strange Attack Force (11/2/2011 6:46:13 PM)

It’s July 1942 and I am playing the Ironman Scenario using the current beta.

The Japanese are launching a combine SUB CHASER and BARGE assault against Pearl Harbor at the rate of 10-15 vessels every two weeks. This is causing me to divert the following assets to deal with this assault on a major US base, Girl Scout Troop 756 has been told to take their .22 rifles down to Waikiki. The only potential damage from this assault by the Japanese is a potential impact on cookie sales latter in the year and cluttering the beach with a bunch of wrecked barges and sub chasers. [X(]

While I have no issue with the AI attacking Pearl, the AI selection of attack forces seems a bit strange. [&:]

Maybe they are just early tourists.




Zorch -> RE: Strange Attack Force (11/2/2011 9:14:47 PM)

Yes, they traveled through time with the USS Nimitz.

Damn, maybe I should have the Girl Scout Troop sale them cookies instead of sink them. We could double our cookie sales! Say, could I roll that over into some kind of increased supply rate?

You better leave the Cub Scouts in reserve. This may be a feint with the real landing at Maui. The IJN may have heard of Mama's Fish House.

I think it's better that AI waste barges instead of battleships and cruisers like it used to do... [:)]

Nevertheless, strange behaviour.

I think the girlscouts are better "prepared"!!!




Don Bowen -> RE: Strange Attack Force (11/3/2011 3:09:51 PM)


The usual questions: what scenario, what date? What bases does the enemy hold near Pearl?

You can open a save head-to-head as Japanese and look at one of the TFs. The TF name gives the AI script number that generated the attack order. Then check out that script.




chesmart -> RE: Strange Attack Force (11/3/2011 7:00:56 PM)

Which version of Ironman ?




soticrandy -> RE: Strange Attack Force (11/3/2011 7:14:30 PM)

I can only hope the in game date is April 1st when this started to happen.




Treetop64 -> RE: Strange Attack Force (11/3/2011 7:52:39 PM)

Sorry, but don't you think that countering with GST-756 is a bit on the side of overkill? I mean, seriously dude, c'mon.  You're playing the AI, for Pete's sake...[sm=nono.gif]

Its the Ironman Scenario. I don't see any other versions of Ironman in my setup so it's the only Ironman Scenario I have. The game version is Oct 24, 2011. Game date is July 12, 1942.

The Japanese hold- Wake, Tarawa, Makin, the others they start with and the nasty little spec called Baker Island.

It's IJN Taskforce 440 if that does any good? I am sorry when you start talking scripts I don't know what you are talking about except that it involves an AI routine. It also says TF assigned to 672 on the line below the name IJN Taskforce 440.

I am sorry, but I have never uploaded a file to this board or a PBEM'd the game so I don't know how to get a game save to you. I tried fowllowing the path suggested in the game manual, but I get an error message when I try to load my save the file to this page, something about a faked path being invalid.

Thank you for trying to help, not sure I gave you anything you can help with!
