Umezu is moving south and west from recently taken Changsha with help from forces along the coast moving south and west from Amoy. Guerrilla activity north has been greatly reduced with several invested pockets. Rail capacity in the north is at 100%.

Cool graphics, BTW.

Status: offline 		Glad you asked Larry. Zero Hour is a COW scenario depicting the Pacific theater in WW2. It starts in the first week of July '41. It's been converted to TOAWIII. The graphics come courtesy of JMass and MSPaint, the scenario from Chuck Kortaba. I am playing as Japan with Cesteman as the Allies. I tried the scenario 'Countdown to Infamy' (a Steely Dan fan?)but like many converted scenarios, it glitched; with the Japanese Pearl Harbor strike aircraft returning to attack their own carriers! Being that this scen is slightly less complex, I'm hoping it'll work. We've agreed to attempt to employ some of my 'special naval rules' that represent search aircraft(see thread). Any way, my fingers are crossed. That's a pretty nice scenario you have yourself. Very complex, though with obvious advantages.

You could accuse me of tipping my hand perhaps, but cheating? No.

Where you see his name on the map, there is actually an invisible guerrilla unit. The previous turn the Japanese attacked this unit located on an escarpment, taking heavy losses in the process. It's probably time to start thinking about the larger war on the horizon.

Wow!

This scenario looks fantastic.

Can you play against the PO as Allied, Axis or both?

And where can I download the TOAW III version from?

I looked at Rugged Defense website and the only download was for COW.

Cheers

GavinP

Download it anyway, open it in the editor, save it as an OPART III scenario, and it should run. There'll probably be some weirdnesses that you'll need to remedy.
