Kinda off-topic but speaking about conditions...
What was it like being stationed on a sub in the Pacific during WWII?

I envy you, Mike. My son's focusing on preparing for college (when he's not with/talking to his girlfriend). He finally hit 18 so he can play in the adult league. We'll see about college hockey....

Got a question for you all.

What is the benifits of an Air HQ? I've not really experimented with them much.

Good day to you all btw.

:)

7.2.2.6 Air HQs

Air HQ�s will help air operations within their Operational Radius. Level bombers not located within
an air HQ�s Command Radius will have their number of planes flying reduced by 25% for
Offensive Missions. All other air strike Missions by units outside an air HQ�s command radius will
have the flying planes reduced by 10%. The command radius for most air HQ�s is five hexes.
However, Japanese Air Division HQs have a Command Radius of three hexes, while Japanese
Air Brigade HQs have a command radius of one hex.

The Command Radius of an HQ is displayed on its Ground Unit Information screen in the top left
corner.

Regarding the last sentence: subtract 1 from this number to have the real range in hexes. This goes for all HQ units.

Which, if it's modern probably have no resemblance to either real country or real western music.

I think there may be additional benefit beyond what's in the manual. Certainly more plains fly, but I find repair rates to be faster and missions actually more effective. Air HQs help a great deal....not to mention they extra support they give to a base.

I don't know if they US has any air HQs at the start of the war...I can't think of any. The UK has some though and they are again very useful. It bears careful thought how to deploy them. I think you get the 11th Air Force early and its worth sending to Anchorage or Dutch Harbor, but i think the 5th Air Force is next and it doesn't arrive for a while.

Take a look at Denver University. Their Hockey team, the Pioneers, is usually very good and the school is very good. Two recent Secretarys of State got their degrees there. Downside is that the tuition is expensive.

It is an outstanding liberal arts school for those interested in the social sciences. It's business school is also ranked very well, though I've heard the ranking may be a bit over inflated. I'm probably even a bit more skeptical about the hard sciences and it doesn't have an engineering school.

They do have a very good hockey team.

Halfway through Dreadnought by Massie. Really a very interesting book!! It really brings out the familial connections among the European royals. Fascinating reading.
