Allied shipyards - 7/6/2020 5:44:09 PM

Status: offline 		After many months, I’ve resumed my utterly shameless AI game. During the hiatus I warned up ye ole memory with a Guadalcanal mini-game. I noticed Sydney’s shipyard was rated 50.

It is only a 30 at the beginning of the campaign game. So I truly did cull the War Room posts and found LoBaron’s 2011 statement that the Allies cannot enlarge their shipyards.

Might have missed something though. It’s a lot of posts to cull through.

Does that still hold—or is there a way?

Thank you for any response!

Yes, it is just for that scenario.

I guess I’d assumed SY could not be enlarged through interpreting the manual (“straightforward” in regards to those pages is not the first description that would occur to me, I’m admittedly thick when deciphering instructions in general), but the Guadalcanal scenario threw me.

I'll admit to having my struggles with the manual as well. But those cold and bold red words on the bottom on page 235 forever haunt me whenever I wish I could boost PBY production.

Yeah...factories means shipyards as well. I eventually got it.

Yes it will. I have recaptured several former Allied shipyards from the Japanese and found them expanded but damaged. For the low, low cost (in Allied terms) of 1000 supply per point I repaired them and happily used them to their limits.

I have done that myself. But what I don't know is if the expansion is ordered but not finished whether or not the Allies can finish the expansion, not to mention the repairs to what was originally there.

Status: offline 		Okay, I understand now.

So as a Japanese player, I will offer to expand the Portland shipyard if the Allied player will not attack me on my way there plus kindly stockpile lots of supplies there and remove any ground units.

The Japanese player could start building Shinano there just to tie up the shipyard with that white elephant.

Status: offline 		A delusional thought balloon settled over Hag... “Huh. And in red bold?? No way. Maybe Shell Shock has a NEWER edition of the manual than me... yeah, that’s it! I’ll just go check... page two-three-five.. .. *digs for the manual* ...two-three... five... aha, here it is! *Long pause* Huh.”

Pretty clear stuff. Thanks, Shell Shock.

Status: offline 		Recapturing the shipyards is just the ticket! Diabolically clever. Now all I need is a master plan to recapture Soerabaya.

Since the game ends 1/43, however, I don’t think it’ll happen.
