Thought I'd see if any of you can give me some advice with a problem during amphibeous assaults.

I have a MAJOR attrition rate (about 30-35% kia and another 60% heavily damaged) on my APs and AKs (not to mention the escorts) from mines.

My issue is sweeping them. I am having a lot of trouble getting the MSW convoy to do their job. I have tried toggling the retirement option, setting different home ports, all kinds of stuff. If I set them to partrol, they just sit there and don't sweep. If I base them out of the port they are trying to sweep, they just sit there. The only time I have ever gotten any sweeping done is when I send the task force from another location they sweep for 1 pulse and go back home (it was a Tulagi-Shortlands run). As it stood it took about 15-20 "sorties" to get the Shortland Islands completely swept.

Is there a better and more consistant way to sweep mines? Any insights you guys might have would be greatly appreciated.

UV ver 2.0

First thing, update the program. Go to 2.11, or 2.2 which is due immiently.

Then, try placing your MSWs within the transport / amphib TFs instead of on their own. Works like a charm for me.

I actually have 2.10 and 2.11 but I didn't want to upgrade until I finished this campaign. But I'm glad I have that fix to look forward to. 2.12 you say? Yum....

Thanks, Toro.
