Status: offline 		Wish list...O.k....I like chrome........At the bottom of both Allied and Japanese play screens, the extreme right panel is the strategic map. Right next to it is a panel which has either the American star (as on a plane), or the Japanese "meatball"..CobraAus was able to make 2 other art panels to fit there..Can we maybe get some more panels to fit there?
I think actual pics would be nice, something like this??
(Of course it would have to be fitted in)..

Since Japan captured Penang it was a base for german U-boats
for gameplay: if japanese troops capture penang (= Pedang?) german subs will appear.
So what about this idea?

Germans in the Pacific

Maybe we will have better options with the editor to allow for some Germans! I hope the AE editor will allow us to add new nations (with correct flags) and entry/exit hexes for convoys.

(before Midway, they needed to check out PH from French Frigate shoals).

Having a zillion Glens flying in the mid pacific is a huge ahistorical advantage for Japan

That was using the large flying boats, not sub-launched Glen's. The flying boats were refueled by submarine at Frech Frigate Shoals.

(BTW - no argument about the Glens being too effective.)

Something like "Saratoga got some repair" would be sufficient, I think. This could help to avoid some frustrations on how repair works and where your repair points go.

Status: offline 		Well, I'm hoping that the damage repair routine is fixed so that you will know what is going on.  Right now the shipyards will grab not only disbanded ships for repair, but docked ones as well.  I had a TF of sub chasers (all with SYS damage of 12+) docked in SF and they've all repaired down to 0 while never being disbanded.

Not sure it would matter, Common sense tells me to check the status of my capitol ships in need of repair daily.

I don't know if this has been "wished" before, but I'd like some way to export my orders in a given turn. So, once I finish my orders, i can export them to any single file, and then import them on other savegame.

It would be useful to export japanese orders in the first turn, and then, this way, you wouldn't have to set up exactly the same things on every game game you start. The same for allies. Ok, it wouldn't be useful in turns beyond the first, but at least, beginning a game would be much, much shorter. You'd import your preferred orders set, and then tweak a couple of things.

There is an entire chapter of the manual devoted to Ship Repair.

I believe the US was able to track some IJN units by their poor radio discipline. As it is, we're only told that some land unit has as its objective island X, or that there is something on the airwaves at point Y.

We already have this more than people realize. When we hear that "something is on the airwaves" .. or when we see an enemy base port color darken, this means we know more data about what is in that port. Waving your mouse over the port will reveal this data. If you see a bunch of CVs there, that is probably where the enemy CVs are! I've been able to do this a time or so and the intel is very useful!

Well, then it would be nice to have a button on the Intelligence screen to give information on capital ships (where they are along with confidence level). Example would be a section for CV's that might say "3 CV's at Truk. Confidence High."
