HOF V3 game -Kursk

Unable to locate the Jap fleet in the Pacific, so no combat there.

The German fleet on the other hand was exactly where I expected
them to be, but only 2 ships could reach them -
Mid-Atlantic, about 12 tiles due west of Brest:
CLAA Altanta VS German CA -> German CA 3/5
DD Lang VS German CLAA -> German CLAA 3/4

Note to Ivan, Russia: While playing the minor axis, Sevastopol was not possible to capture due to game crashing after fighting flak in city, i´v made some tests and it doens´t seem to have anything wrong with flaks (this in singleplayer), however, just to avoid a possible game freezing in that particular city (since its a PBEM), please Fortify flaks inside Sevastopol, not choose mission of air intercept, thank you.

 

[I. Larkin]

As usual all 3 pbem come at the same night. This one is the most difficult.

Will play only after other two.

Sorry for delay. But RL is such that I have slim chances to start tomorrow and finish Friday morning.

In worst case in weekend...

I did some testing in hotseat mode and the game will definitely crash when
the last defending unit in a city is a flak in air superiority mode. This means
giving ground units air missions was a very bad idea and this game is probably unplayable
as is.

Wel, i´m sorry then, but we can continue, just make a house rule that flaks inside cities can´t be in "intercept mission", only Fortify. On open field the crash doesn´t occur, that i tested.

 

[aksully]

that seems reasonable to me if it allows us to continue.....how are you doing Larkin???

 

[eric_A]

This would the only way we could continue, otherwise Sully and I would
have to warn each other when we were going to launch an amphibious attack
on cities.

 

[aksully]

Eric....IJN forces are launching an amphibious attack against Padre Island to disrupt Spring Break Manuvers in the Gulf......please dismantle all Flaks at this location...Yamamoto sends.....

 

[I. Larkin]

Unfortunately I am still under pressure of RL . If it is not acceptable I can quit and you may try to find somebody else. I am afraid Sunday is most probable.

 

[Glasnost]

No worries from me I.Larkin. This scenario takes its time.

 

[RickFGS]

Take your time

 

[aksully]

ditto as replacement players are nil so press on as best you can.
