When China is liberated, the off map industries remain in Japanese control.
Also Canadian ships can not use the convoy loop.

oh and we're still in 43.

You forgot to mention losing 2 carriers and 4 BB off the coast of Austrailia... or sinking my brit carrier north of Austrailia... would not say blah game. It's just you've bogged down a bit and the allies are about to get rolling.

I am playing several games by PBEM right now... well 3 to be exact and I swear this game is like chess. You have to be sooo careful with your carriers and focus heavily on pre-planning... it essentially comes down to trying to out-think your opponent. So far I have been very lucky in picking the right times and places.
Really enjoying the PVP game. Great work!

Back on track... a naval HQ attachment could really make things interesting, especially for Japan.
-
In a strategic sense leaders truly affected the outcome of the war and many times they were the difference between success and failure. Look at Chenault (sp). His presence in China was the determining factor in how good the flying tigers were and they had a significant impact upon the war in china.

I feel it would add a real fun and historic feature to the battles of the pacific.
-
I am talking about assigning a leader to an existing ship, kinda like an upgrade.
-
Naval combat, critical to the war in the pacific, is missing those key commanders who changed history, such as Nimitz and Nagumo (sp?) Would there be a way to assign an HQ to a ship that would give a slight boost to the surrounding ships? Meaning you would have to build the HQ to get it... then assign it to a ship. You lose the ship... you lose the HQ.

I would like to see the inclusion of a replay button... so that at will I can watch the replay at will instead of when it loads. 2 reasons...
1. in a single player game... it takes tooo long to sit there and wait for the turn to end. I have an 11 month old and occasionally I have to get up and walk away.
2. PBEM - I might like to watch the enemy's moves more than once to get a feeling of what my opponent is thinking.

I am playing a multiplayer email game as the allies right now and I can tell you for a fact... if Japan moves quickly enough they can roll up and push the british and chinese back. I am getting my ass kicked in the east... Japan if played right can be a powerful beast to break.
-
I would like to see the introduction of brigades to the game. Very much like research but say each corps could accept a brigade and each army could accept two brigades. Brigades could be broken down as follows:
AAA
Anti-Tank/Inf
Tank

Noob question... on Vista when you save a multiplayer game via email it says it saves to multiplayer/email but guess what under battlefront folder there is no such thing. In addition i can't fund such a folder. Help please.
-
Hit me up if you want an email game. marce@ugpinc.com If Japan is your choice send the first turn.

I have also noticed that the US will send carriers out unescorted. The main fleet will be engaged a turn away and pop there is a carrier.
-
missing mobility maybe?

Okay... got to 44. Been a hell of a game so far... very enjoyable.
I pushed hard in China and have split the country in 2. I discovered it's not a great idea to leave Peking unoccupied. Airpower (carefully nursed with improved anti-tank and overstrength) rules the day and eats up ground units. By killing Chinese HQs I've been able to roll over china for the most part. I have 2 Bombers, 3 Tactical and 3 Fighters pounding on China, UK and Austrailian troops in China.
Moved the bulk of my fleet into the Indian Oceans... sent the british navy to the bottom with no losses. 2 BS, 1 CV, 1 CA and 2 Dests. Moved the navy back out... and up to Japan to restrength as the US arrived in Guam without any escort. I had moved my 2 special tactical wings (kamikazes) around Guam and moved my fleet within range. Next turn the US debarked amphibiously and I easily destroyed the HQ, corps and Arty. Placed a bomber, a fighter and a tactical air newly built on outer islands in hops of spotting US naval units. The next turn spotted a large portion of the allied fleet. My carriers are up to strength and I am moving to intercept them. I have been able to get some of the Japanese carriers up to airwing strength 12... thanks to bombarding chinese units.
I think as long as I can see the enemy fleet and not be surprised by them I will do okay. The trick is not losing your carriers and keeping enough ground based airpower to assist you in as much destruction as possible.
Been very fun so far. My only real complaint is the mobility in china (fixed by research), lack of strength in the island chain. Japan should really have 2 more corps in the pacific to give the allies a run for their money in island hopping.
Been a lot of fun so far.

Having been an addicted Strategic Command player I must say I love the addition of Pacific Theater. I am still in my first game playing as Japan. I just entered 43 and I am impressed. China is on the ropes... concentrated airpower against them. Austrailia has lost a lot of ships. UK has shown up with a carrier in the Indian ocean... surprise attack on one of my destroyer units. I am moving carriers to kill it. I have also taken Guadacanal and am in the process of fortifying the island, and reinforceing it with air, ground, HQ and AAA. So far the USA has not made a move against me which worries me greatly as I am very weak along the island chain.
I absolutely love how carriers work with separate airwing. I would like to see this addition to the other SC games.
My only complaint is I think Japan starts overly weak in the islands.
Cant wait to play this game multi-player as the strategy options appears to be wide open and nail biting.
Keep up the excellent work.

Oh... a few additional requests/throughts:
1. British XXX Corps with two experience bars... located in England to represent superior leadership and discipline to arrive in Aug 40. So the player is not tempted to send them to France.
2. Patton to begin in USA... and an understrength USA armor unit to represent the foundation of armor that he and eisenhower started prior to the outset of war.
3. How about a second land/fortress square for malta with a fighter unit (strenght 3) based there to represent the fighter squadron based there that withstood Axis attacks even when they only had 3 ready aircraft.
4. Two additional axis subs in the atlantic to make the war in the atlantic that much more of a fight for life for Britain. The sub war almost brought the Brits to their knees.
Additional thoughts:
I played the campaign to the end serveral times and enjoyed it a great deal.
1. I invaded spain and found that the Spanish economy suffered from lack of oil due lack of supply from USA... can you get rid of that message once Rumania joins? Oil. It's also annoying to have it pop up each turn for the next 3 years.
2. Germany failed to bring land units to Africa (computer AI) but brought the entire German airforce which was defeated by land units. Is there a way for Rommel, 1 corp and 1 armor to appear by Tripoli in the beginning of 42?
3. Romania and Hungry don't automatically join... you need to invest... was this intentional?
4. Can you put a city on Crete to make it worth capturing with a German airborne?
5. Is it possible to begin the game 2 or 3 turns before Germany invaded Poland? Give the player a choice of troop placement? Also have France, England and Poland at peace at the beginning of the game? Basically force a Polish war by Sept if Germany does not attack.
Thanks for the great campaign. Keep it up.

Instead of low level garrison troops... how about one of 3 options:
1. An artillery brigade? With a movement of 1. Great against naval bombardments.
2. A security unit (to repress partisans)Large ZOC.
3. Submarine/Naval Bombers.

The HJ division saw some of the most vicious fighting in Normandy. In many instances they adopted a fight till the death attitude rather than surrender. They caused some significant problems for the allies and were all but annihilated in the Falaise Gap.
-
it was pretty sad actually they were so young they gave them treats insteal of alcohol rations.
-
nice... I look forward to seeing your modifications. I have a degree in the Second World War and am very impressed with your scenario so far. Keep it up.
