...is a game guide. UV requires a tremendous attention to detail that is not necessarily evident at first glance, or by reading through the rules. Think about it:

1) Aircraft altitude;
2) How to employ AVs;
3) Commander effects;
4) Upgrade paths and dates;
5) Ship repair and returning to Pearl;
6) Supply, replenishment, and the types of computer-control over these functions;
7) Pilot morale and experience;
8) Air group disbanding and withdrawing;
9) And many other topics.

I don't see an official effort being made, which pretty much leaves it up to us, doesn't it?

How about some volunteers? I'm talking about putting together a number of well-informed articles on the various gameplay aspects of UV.

I would be glad to make an initial effort toward an article, and to help keep any other efforts organized. Perhaps it could all go in to a sticky subject on this board, and even be converted to .pdf format.

Any takers?

j7b,

That is going to be a good thing to have. Any idea when you might be finished? :)

Couple days. The weapons, infantry, vehicles, equipment, and IJN ship classes complete. Still need to do the Allied ships and the AC. Pain in the butt.

Of course, no rush...seen a mention of "all new database" in David Heath's post, so the entire thing will need scrubbed against that.
