repair time

[Bman]

No when I right-click the ship the armor is still damaged. And the game is a PBW game running 1.49. The ships just don't repair for me until they are hit again. I'd be happy to privately give you the game name and password so you can see for yourself.

Edit: Oh yeah. And there is a slight difference during combat of the two methods: If the armor does not get damaged until the next hit, then the armor is not contributing to the pool until the ship gets hit (and it gets repaired).

This difference becomes significant in this circumstance: I had a ramship with 7 armor and it killed another ship, destroying 4 of its armor and combat ended. Next combat I only had 3 armor adding to the pool as I closed with the enemy so I had alot less built-up healing when I reached the enemy so my ship did not survive as long...

No problem: what you've got there is not Tactical Combat, and therein lies our confusion .

Heh Unfortunately the combat simulator does the same thing. I'll doublecheck today at lunch.

Okay, the boss walked by and I had to put away my bhong. I pulled up my game and sure enough the armor works as you say. I think I was confused because I always check the Auto checkbox when in the simulator to let the computer run the show and all I do is hit End Turn and the armor gets healed *after* I hit End Turn. I don't think the pink elephants and yellow submarines helped much either...

You can use the green torpedoes on the submarines, but the elephants require ground troops
