Interesting, thank you for that informative post. What files do I open to see this information? As much as it ruins the magic, I like knowing how the game mechanic works so I can direct my efforts efficiently - the challenge is flying the aircraft! As far as reaching townsville.... These locations are actualy off the map. Does this mean it is theoretically impossible to reach these positions? Especially consider this is an island and we are talking about ground forces..

Tulagi 1942.. The first USN campaign. Though I have also tried Coral Sea and Midway and likewise the mechanism for advancing the campaign is similarly unclear

A quick question for anyone that may be able to help me.. I'm a big fan of the pacific campaigns. I keep trying to start a single career in full auto DCG replacement mode, starting with Tulagi. I can't see how I can affect the war however. My stated victory condition as the US is to take Tulagi depot, and every mission keeps being to fly a sweep over Tulagi Depot. Every time I go there I shoot up some AA guns, sometimes a truck or two, or whatever is there. Then on the next mission, there is no real change in lines, no messages of advancement, or anything of that sort. It just keeps giving me the same mission over and over. My question is - how can most effectively advance the war effort? What conditions must be met for our lines to advance forward? Is there anyway to get more information - like what ground units were doing, where they moved, what they killed - etc. How do enemy and friendly plane losses factor in to the overall progress of the war? Feeling a bit lost using the DCG as to what is expected of me to "win", any help would be appreciated.
