Status: offline 		Have had trouble with US planes from Carrier Task Force striking. Put them on Naval Attack/Rest and movmnt within 2 hexes of a Jap Transport Task Force and nobody would fly an Air strike. Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong, I'm now in March 8 1942, this was attempted about a month earlier around Rabaul.

Now how on earth would you do that? He did have the squadrons set on Naval Attack, but there's no way that he can designate any TF as a target.

Status: offline 		So you delivered your carrier TF to a hex within two hexes of the base being unloaded, set all the DB and TB squadrons to Naval Attack/Rest, and no attacks were launched all day. What was the weather? If either the target or the carrier TF is socked in, an attack is not likely to be launched. What are the morale rating of your squadrons? How many aircraft are ready, as opposed to being under repair or in reserve (I have never quite understood how UV/WitP handles the latter, but I've lived with it)?

Well you mentioned reaction setting which isn't what I was talking about, so not sure if there is an echo or not.

I haven't seen a carrier plane with less than a 2 hex range though...that's why I asked about his react settings.

You can individualy set the range of your plane groups. I have accidently knocked it down to 0 before.
