DBLWIDE -> New and need help. (10/17/2003 2:30:12 AM)
New to this game and have been playing about a week. I have the same problems others have commented on. Is there a FAQ or bug list? I am patched to 2.3.

CapAndGown -> (10/17/2003 2:35:23 AM)
There is a FAQ thread on this forum.

DBLWIDE -> (10/17/2003 8:37:20 PM)
I have not found FAQs, postings and the game's documentation helping me for things like: 1. Why does my land-based air not intercept enemy fleets? (Yes, the weather is clear, the morale is high, the supplies are more than enough, the command is good, they are in range and spotted.) 2. When I load units from a port with plenty of transports, not all parts of the units load. 3. When I re-base air units from one place to another, they change type of aircraft and frequently disappear. 4. Why do my transport ships (Allied) load the enemy (Japanese)? 5. My surface fleets do not intercept. My fleets on bombardment are resolved piecemeal...maybe not a bug, but then why does the game split my fleets when the ships on bombardment only differ by four knots? There is more. I am patched to 2.3. I play the allies always.

how many escorts? what was the "target" fleet? what were the strike (possible) aircraft?

DBLWIDE -> It does not matter. (10/19/2003 4:32:16 PM)
The airfield was size six and with no damage. There were about sixty-five ready and able fighters on escort. The fighters had zero CAP assignment. I checked all of that. Wish there was a rational or even documented reasons to help me. There are not any, even after this post. It does not matter because I am quiting Uncommon Valor for what are obvious reasons to most. I should have known better than have picked-up a used game that somebody else already dumped. What also makes me feel stupid is that I also bought 12 O'Clock High some time ago. I will understand "Gary Grisby" to be a warning label from now on.

DBLWIDE -> Thanks, but no thanks. (10/20/2003 12:54:40 PM)
Thanks for the offer to analyze. However, from what I have seen here there is no explaination for the simple stuff, much less that which is complicated. I've already dumped this game. It is not the worst I played, but not too far from there.

DBLWIDE -> (10/20/2003 10:30:42 PM)
The bottom line of this is to do what? Always reload the game? There are known severe bugs that never get fixed? I have dumped the game and it is because it is too full of bugs. The old hack of a bug in formal clothing is considered a feature seems to be a strong element of groupthink here. I am only responding to this post in that it appears to be addressed to or about me. I do not intend to argue the merits of this game. It would be like a debate about religion. The belief system here is obviously that Uncommon Valor is a really great and worthwhile game. Lotus Eaters.

DBLWIDE -> A reply not intended as a retort. (10/22/2003 11:50:43 AM)
All I can say, K.V., is that you are being too easy on the game. It may simply be a matter of a belief system akin to religion. As stated before, no matter how much discussion goes on here, there are the zealots and unquestioning followers who continue to adhere the true faith. There are reasons why this game is obscure at best. That is reality. If that observation of fact makes me a "dork" as you have called others then just continue to flame on; maybe you will make it to 3,000 posts someday. What I am intrigued about is how can such a group of obviously higher-than-usual intelligent and, for the most part, well-mannered people get sucked into this. From what I gather in other posts, there just is not alot of grumbler type games out there that address the need. I do not have a special need like that. All I wanted was a playable game for my limited budget spent towards game software...and I got cheated.
