... If I understnad correctly, even naval support capability from an engineering support unit counts, not jsut HQ's...

quote:

8.1.1 HEADQUARTERS

These are all support troops (the much-maligned “brass” sitting in the rear). However, these
rear-area troops earn their keep in War in the Pacific, Admiral’s Edition™ by providing large
numbers of support personnel to support other units and for construction and logistics tasks.
They give combat benefits to combat units who are within a certain range, generally the same
hex, and enable more bombers to fly Missions from bases under their control. A unit can benefit
from its HQ, of which there are six types:

» Command - Helps in several ways. They help in giving a bonus to ground
combat. If no Corps HQ is in range of a ground unit, the Command HQ can give
a bonus like a Corps HQ if it is in range of a ground unit. If there is a Corps HQ
within range of the battle, and the Command HQ is within 2 times its command
range of the battle, it can add up to an additional 90% bonus to the Assault
Value of an attacking force for odds calculations. The bonuses are impacted by
the leaderships rating of the commander of the HQs. Command HQs are also
important for air replacements and upgrades (see section 16.2.3 for details).

» Army - Helps with ground combat. Ground units in range can gain up to
a 10% bonus to their Assault Value (whether attacking or defending).

» Corps – Helps with ground combat. Ground units in range can gain up to
a 10% bonus to their Assault Value (whether attacking or defending).

» Amphibious – Helps amphibious invasions suffer fewer losses.

» Naval – Helps to speed ship repair time.

» Air – Helps by allowing more aircraft to fly and allows more air units
to be based at a base with this type of HQ, coordinating aircraft
replacement/upgrades and supporting more groups at a base.

Umm...doesn't the beta patch fix the borkulated supply draw too? You know, the one that allows you to draw supply in N. Australia across a 400-mile dirt path to feed 2.5 divisions plus Arty? I suspect that a good deal of your supply pathways would have to be reconfigured if this is the case.

Had their been a dirt path from Meekathara to Port Hedland or even a mythical railway we would not have lost 3 carriers trying to get there. Had there been a previous fix for unit hoarding I dont think we would have lost any carriers.

102nd Engineer Bn. still has 16,500 tons of supply, down from 19,000 last turn. As long as we can make another supply run to PH when the carriers are ready, the landing force and PH will NOT be evicted with the force JJ has there now. Depending on the JJ supply/resupply situation, we may even be able to attack and take the place before the carriers come back.

Yes this is quite a problem in the land of Oz. I have never been able to draw supply north of Alice Springs even with the stock patch. I can tell you that the lack of an ability to move Oil, Fuel, Resources and Supplies greatly efffects the game. It effects not only operational supply but the strategic transport of supply, oil, and fuel. Prior to upgrading I lost TK's because fuel would not transfer along the rail lines, and of course submarines awaited to deliver their fate ..Now I unload in Perth and over time the Fuel and Oil makes it way to Melbourne and Sydney. A much more playable game.

I think it has been pretty well established that the mysterious "supply walkabout" phenomenon in the Katherine only applies to the LYB's.

Here is the thing. Why does it always have to be the Puertorriqueno with the street vernacular and involvement in suspected illegal activity? Why can't it be a Jew? That's what I want to know. I'll tell you why. You see, the Puertorriqueno is stereotyped as ill-educated and racially inclined to crime. Plus, all the writers are Jewish and especially the publsihers are Jews and they are not going to allow something bad to be said about the Jews.

We, the members of las Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña, hereby post notice that the Jew headquaters of this organization will be attacked (if we can find out where it is) or we might hire an attorney too.

Speaking of which.

The unit cost for a B-17E in World War II was apparently just over $238,000.

That equates to about $3.25 million.

That's actually not that expensive if you think about it? If you bear in mind the unit costs of attack aircraft in use today?

Captain Binns, eh? I understand that he made quite a name for himself falling off his bike throughout the UK later in life. If memory suits, he damaged his sandwich in one particular episode and had to have it repaired.

.."Fuddy Duddy" went up for sale for about $3.5 Million. in 2005 ..

The real cost of a B-17 is not the Sticker price . they require lots of love and care relected in aviation support and supplies to keep them flying. About $5K per hour in 2011 terms ..

Ok back to the war ...

Nope...he has been beat up pretty badly by the real estate crunch and then there is all that B-17 gas. He is not in the Forbes 400 any longer.


As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure, WE, the disciples of AE/WITP, are the 1%.


We may even be the 0.1%
