Resetting the Map Room

[Yossarian]

Another question: (sorry for the hijack), but where is the map room on a CV?  I know there is one, because I've seen the Rooks capture one before in Early War.

This has to be a troll but I'll answer it anyway.  You can't capture CVs the conventional way.  You have to take over the controlling port and then sink the CV.  Once the CV respawns, it will automatically belong to the country that controls the port the CV belongs to.

OK, here's a question.


Let's say both the Rooks and Bish are attacking a Knight field at the same time.

The Rooks get 8 troops in and 2 die.

Then immediately after the Bish show up and let out troops, also get 8 in and 2 die.

Did the Bish troops cancel out the rook troops? 

Or are Rooks and Bish both just two troops from the capture if they get them there in time?

(i'm fairly certain that the Bish can't "use" the Rook troops and only put in two troops to get the capture, but to be honest i've not tried it, that's just a gut feeling)

There's only one man who can answer this...

On an unrelated, yet almost related subject.  Is anyone aware of an ariel view of a standard town which shows what the structures on the airfield are? For instance, which hanger is the plane hanger and which is the vehicle hanger?  I have no idea what, or where the map room is.  Also, does the town next to the base serve a purpose other than extra AAA?

The map room is in the town adjacent the airfield. Vehicle bases have the maproom on the base.

In the game, you can click on the maps and find the default maps for the towns and bases. There are some available with more details listed, and color coded.

Ok, thanks for trying to answer my question even if it did appear to be a troll  .

But in Early War a few weeks ago, the Rooks did capture a CV.  I double checked it, and the "field ## has been captured" message did have a CV number.

ODBAL, you should definitely read the Aces High help pages.  Look through the menus on the Aces High home page, and you'll find Aces High Training Corps? or "Need Training?".  If you want, please PM me with your e-mail address, and when I get home in a bit under a week, I'll send you an abridged version of my Aces High bookmarks in which I have a LOT of brilliant help pages.

Right click the clipboard and select clipboard maps.  To capture an airfield you have to flatten the town and get ten troops into the maproom located near the big silver tank.

go to http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/maps/maps.pdf and you will have a PDF file of printable field maps.  I printed them out for my notebook and refer them all the time while in flight.

Yes, that is the system message that posts, when the CV changes ownership as AKAK described.

WmLute I'd say they are both 2 troops short of a capture. And the first one to get 10 troops in (or 2 more troops inside the time limit) will take the field.

OK, here's a question.

Yea, I read thru them all I can during the day when I'm at work.  When I'm at home and have spare time it's for flying not reading.  There is so much information to assimilate in this game.  The help pages are great, but when I remember a specific thing I need answered I post the question here, which is after all why it exists, no?

ya know, if ya cut back on the drinking you might have a few more brain cells to retain some of this info.

Perhaps you should link to the correct answer.

There certainly seems to be some measure of disagreement among the "knowledgeable" AH2 community.

I think that perhaps your brain cells protest too much...

You may or may not have noticed that we are both in the same squad. My post, while a bit of a hijack, was just some teasing fun.

As for the OP question, it doesn't state a direct answer any where. I know for certain that you can NOT reset the map room....an laugh each time I hear people yell for troops to do so
