What do you look at for weather predictions... 1. click on the base and check current weather 2. use the weather map 3. use the weather hotkey 4. show clouds? It seems to me the weather changes three times: night, morning, afternoon.

Thunderstorms not ideal because it's more of a crap shoot than average, but usually has to suffice.

So that is the weather forecast...same as the forecast on the top of the screen if you click a hex. I guess you can also check combat reports if any.

I thought you meant checking for ordering missions. For actual weather the mouse over shows weather that just happened (AFAIK), but it's never been clear to me if that pertains only to the afternoon, afternoon being the most recent phase. In any event, specific weather might (I dunno) vary from battle to battle, so to see what happened I figure only the combat report's individual battles matter.

Alfred confirmed one time that the forcast shown is what it was at the end of last turn, not necessarily continuing into the turn you are working on. For that, looking at the big map forecast zones gives a general indicator of the trend in that zone, but specific weather in the hex at any point during the turn can vary. Best you can get is a guess at the likelihood of good or bad weather. I have tried to figure it out and (without doing stats) believe that light cloud and moderate cloud (not sure that is the right term) almost always mean good weather through the current turn. Anything else can change suddenly.

Not sure about combat power. • Most of our troops who just stormed Liuchow will move out right away and head for Wuchow via the secondary road which passes Kweilin on the south. Wuchow has about 14,000 defenders and should fall quickly. After Wuchow the plan is to move on Canton and then Hong Kong. Before all that is finished we should see forces freed up from liberating Singapore. India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Russia • The troops for Okinoerabushima are loading. • Forecast over the Home Islands is thunderstorms, which is probably as good as we will get. B-29 target for tonight is Yokohama/Yokosuka Manpower. This will be the debut for the B-29B, all of which are flying from Saipan. That puts the target just within normal range for them, meaning they will carry 36x 500 lb bombs. As usual the B-29-1 and B-29-25 groups will be flying to extended range.

The paras will also bolster Allied forces in the area. We also now have 2 units on the road well west of Mengtze making their way to the battle for Kunming. • Our troops near Tsuyung are still recovering for the next assault. • The last two enemy units in Nanning, which were retreated to the NE, are still in that hex (harassed by air strikes) and making their way to the road NE of their position. We have units heading to that hex to obstruct them just to keep them out of the fight for longer and potentially trap them. • As our forces blast through enemy defenses in Wuchow we will have some units in place to prevent them from retreating to Canton. Likewise, we will seek to prevent enemy forces in Canton from retreating to Hong Kong. • Some of the >70,000 enemy ejected from Liuchow are now entering Kweilin. In addition to tactical air strikes our 4EB are doing everything they can to denude Kweilin of supply each and every turn.

Sometimes I wonder if Intel updates on the ships presumed sunk, but found not to be, lead to adjustment of those VPs. On this particular day there were no falsely reported sinkings discovered. Probably a base or combination of them. Or maybe some incidental air losses combined with the Empire getting supply to bases where it was short, giving Japan a net + VP. That convoy caught at the port in northern Luzon might have been unloading supplies???
