Status: offline 		There were quite a few utilities for use with WitP. I know that witpStaff is included with AE. Is there some other tool that shows a good OOB for a scenario start? You know, something that shows an HQ and all its subordinate units. I used to roll my own with witpLoad and looking at the scenario files I see that witpLoad is still there, is that what I still have to do?

Does anyone have a Scenario#1 LCU OOB?

It is an Excel file so please rename it to .xls

It should be correct but you never know.

The Source are the files generated with witploadae.exe in the SCEN directory and then put together with Excel and Access. The AV calculation was only possible with the help from the two nice guys from the WitpTracker team .

If you are looking for the Allied OOB you are definitely playing the wrong side

When I run witploadAE I get .csv files for everything BUT LCUs. I get pilots, leaders. planes, ships, and a couple others but no LCUs?? Does it generate LCUs for you when you run it or do you do something else to get them?

The LCUs are in this file: WITPloc001.csv
and then look at page 35 of the WITPAE Editor manual. There is explained in which slots the LCUs are stored.

An all too familiar sight to us poor JFB's. So much for experienced naval aviation assets.

Great spreadsheet...but, I don't see Dutch or Philipine units? Am I missing something?

Yes. They are missing.
As I said it was a quick try and it failed.
I don't know when I am able to try it again. It can take a while. Sorry.

Just had a look at this.

Wow, theres an >800 AV Soviet unit in there!

By the time that arrives it'll be the least of the Japanese problems though...
