I looking for the one 3 through 12. I can figure some out by flipping back and forth.

Example 7981 2nd NZ Div Cav lists a type = 8

Thanks

I'm looking at it from a excel file not the editor.



3 = AA
4 = HQ
5/6 = airfields
7 = Inf
8 = Armor (and motorized)
9 = Art
10 = Eng
11 = CD
12 = Task Force

I'm curious. What's difficult about looking in the editor?

OOps sorry for the hijack...

For Japan, is there another para unit other then the 1st Raiding Rgt out of Kagoshima? How many para units does Japan start out with and where are they?

As a request for a future update, if you could put something in the name of special INF units (like para units) so people can easily locate them I think it would be a cool thing to do.


TTFN,

Mike

How about 1st Raiding regiment, Yokosuka 1st SNLF and Yokosuka 3rd SNLF... Should be easy enough to remember until you get 2nd Raiding regt

However, there is no way for me to know how many transport (cargo and troop carrying capacity I will need). It is kind of hard to plan ahead and have enough transport of whatever type I need at the off map bases.

They were able only to reach 1 to 2 ratio but after one of the turns I noticed that 2 of the jap units (from 5) appear on PM hex. My Aussie brigade did not forced to retreat. So is it intentional that enemy units are able to cross the hex with my units without fight?

I just noticed a land unit marching mid-ocean to Japan. Dec21, 41 Historical, Surprise CG.








Actually, I believe this is a new feature of AE..Zoom in on the unit in question and I think you will see this?

JC,

The off-map bases are not attackable in AE, just staging areas to load units and bring them on-map. So all the local HQs (such as Sixth Air Force in Panama) and units assigned to local defense are kept out of the game until/unless they are available for possible deployment in the Pacific.

US units that arrive in Panama or the Eastern US start off assigned to either West Coast command (so the player has to pay PP to release them) or assigned to the Theater where they historically deployed.

That's a good question that I didn't realize was a limitation with Classic WitP.

The manual makes several references to the optional rules effects of Japanese Sub Doctrine, a la the original WITP. But both the US Sub Doctrine and Japanese Sub Doctrine switches are missing from AE's Realism Settings page. A) Have they moved elsewhere, and B) if they really have been deleted as Realism options, which way have the Doctrines been hardwired? On or Off?

Another question I originally posted as it's own topic but it quickly got pushed off page 1. Maybe I'll have better luck here.

Playing allies vs. the AI in scenario 1. Current date is Jan 2, 1942. I've noticed that the AI commonly (but not always) deliberate or shock attacks on the SAME turn they enter (or invade) a hex. I'm used to the WITP system where you couldn't enter an order to attack until the turn AFTER entering a hex.
I haven't been able to do the same thing with my units in AE. Am I missing something? Is this a change with AE? or is something not working right.

An example of this is that in the last turn, the AI invaded Tarakan and deliberate attacked and captured it in the same turn. Tarakan is not an atoll and the AI did not use parachute forces in their attack. An annoying result as it gave me no chance to fly out my air units before they were destroyed on the field. This sort of "instant" attack has been happening a lot in purely ground battles in Malaya and China all game long also.

Is this the result of highly aggressive leaders passing an "instant attack roll" or the result of much larger forces "overrunning" weaker forces? If so, is this new to AE? I don't recall ever seeing this in WITP vs. the AI or PBEM.

Hi David,

The switches have gone and it's hardwired now. I believe it's hard wired on - so Jap subs are more likely to attack warships but will still attack merchants though not as likely. Theonly sub related seetign (IIRC) is you can activate/deactivate US torpedo dud rate etc
