ORIGINAL: khelvan I have a few questions that are either vague enough to be difficult to search for the answers here, or I have simply been unable to find an answer. If someone can help, I would appreciate it! Keep in mind, I did not play UV, so I have no prior experience (though I did play Pacific War). I have not found these in the manual, but without a true index (at least after printing it out) I have so far drawn a blank. If I am simply blind, if you direct me to the location I would be happy to read it for myself. First, how can I determine what the command radius of an HQ is? (In general I am very confused about the effects of HQs in WITP) Second, is there a breakdown anywhere of standard air group sizes? For instance, in transferring air groups that have taken losses among carriers, I want to make sure that replacements are not going to grow them so big that I can no longer conduct flight ops. Third, you guys use a LOT of acronyms here. Has anyone made a little list or glossary or something to help a newbie out? Some are self-explanatory, like PH. Some are not, like KB or PM. Some I have searched for but understanding what the acronym is doesn't help me understand the terms, like SRA - Southern Resource Area? What exactly does this encompass? Lastly, when I have multiple carrier task forces and I wish to have them attack together, are there any conditions I need to meet in order to have this happen? Do they have to be in the same hex, for instance? Thank you for your help! Hi, The command radius for a HQ is shown underneath the HQ name. Airgroups will not grow beyond their max size using the replacement function. KB (Kido Butai)is the Japanese carrier strike force. While the term means carrier strike force it came to mean specificly the TF containing Kaga and Akagi. PM is Port Moresby an important base in New Guinea. It is best to keep the TF in the same hex if you wish a combined strike. However air groups in different hexes (or land bases) will often coordinate a strike if the conditions are right. SRA is the Dutch East Indies mostly. All the bases that contain oil/resource and are located south west of Japan The NRA (northern Resource Area) is Korea and Manchuria. welcome and I hope this helps.
