Sorry to revisit an old bug, but it appears that even 'deep sea' doesn't prevent land units from moving over it:



Is there anything else I should be doing, other than just putting the 'deep sea' tiles on the map?

Certainly, a random map generator for multiplayer would be brilliant - the Cossacks series (remember that!?) used to have that. It's pretty easy to develop an unbeatable strategy for certain maps, really, especially if you play them over and over again, and random maps guarantee a new map each time....

That would actually make sense - we should ask for that in the next patch. I don't know if it would be hard to limit ships' firing to sea and coastal hexes - units just have a firing radius.

Yes, the war in East Asia from the Japanese point of view, starting with the early battles with the Soviet Union (with whom they weren't even at war at the time) and then Japanese campaigns in Burma and China, then onto India and even Australia. The 'Pacific War' (as the Americans call it) was mostl...

The ships fire a certain number of hexes, and even if your map is scaled to roughly 1 hex = 10 miles, the number of hexes you can fire to will be the same as if your hexes equal 100 miles or 100 metres. In Hunters (MP game) I had some ships off the coast of Wales and they could bombard northern Fran...

I'd agree with that! Cheers!

( I lost a battle......)

And a great day for the fish

Would it help to say that in our Hylan MP battle, fog of war was off, meaning we could see each other's units anyway and could easily drive around forever without bumping into anyone?

I've been making some mini-scenarios, and I am having trouble with AI paratroops. Firstly, if I just put them on the scenario map on an airfield, I find they will not get into air transport and be used as partroops. They remain as infantry for the whole game. Secondly, if I put them into air transpo...

Ah, because I didn't know the German objectives..... that makes sense. However, the British objective should be worded differently. As I understood, I had a choice to either land 5 convoy ships, or forget about them and just sink the two battleships. After I was down to only four convoy ships, I dec...

Either this is a bug, or the objectives are not explained properly. Objectives: Get 5 ships from the convoy over to the UK mainland OR sink Bismarck & Tirpitz When I was playing this scenario on mutliplayer as the Allies, my opponent won by bringing my convoy down to four ships. We still had ple...

I am not sure if this is a bug or not - I know that recon units do get multiple moves. It just happened in my multiplayer game (Hylan Valley). Opening move, my opponent took most of the flags on the map, then when I tried to take them back next move, I noticed no-one was there - in any of them. Then...

Really all you need to do is issue a challenge - basically choose a game and post it. Someone will reply to your challenge, and you will get an email saying it has been accepted. Then, depending on who goes first, you will either jump in and start playing, or wait for your opponent to complete his t...

'Shadow', actually: 影虎 are the kanji I use. I think everyone recognises 'tora', though

You're using Japanese Tora word in your name. Nice.

Both 'kage' and 'tora' are Japanese...

Forgive me if I have not found this anywhere else, but I have noticed that certain members of this forum have stats under their names, to the left of their posts. Will this be implemented for PC?

These are pretty excellent! Cheers!

I signed up a while back too - been keeping my fingers crossed ever since, as I am certain the devs will turn it into a REALLY GREAT WAR

Thanks Kage - usually we only let people translate to their native language. Esecially for such a specialist subject. I think you'd be great for checking but I'm not sure you'd be able to do the initial translation? That's really it, you see. As I say, I do have experience of translating into Japan...

I'd be willing to do Japanese if I can find the time. How many words are there in total? If there is no rush for it, then I'd have no problem with it (though I normally translate from Japanese to English, and not the other way around - but I have colleagues who can help me out). I work as a professi...

In multiplayer, your first couple of moves should be to use paratroops to take control of enemy airfields and the city hex next to them - very often they are behind enemy lines, so you now have attack points from behind and you have encircled the enemy. The enemy will have to use units from the main...
