Don’s Babies (Da Babes, Les Bebes) is a mod, in preparation, that hopes to do for AE what CHS did for WiTP. Gobs of new classes, tons of new ships, slatherings of new art, paying very close attention to details of the smaller combatant, merchant, and auxiliary vessels for both sides. Lots of new stuff, including: ships captured by Japan in the opening days of the war – ships captured in China, Hong Kong, Japan, the open sea (some new art, here; an APL liner in Japanese colors). Several new Straits Steamship types (Matang, Raub, Rahman, etc..) including the unbelievably ugly Klang class. Several new Philippine steamer types (Don Isidro, Don Esteban, etc..) including cut down 4-stacker conversions to banana boats that became blockade runners (Teapa, et al ..). And the PGs (USCG and others), and PCs (Canadian too), and YPs, and YMSs, and Brit YMSs, and Brit LSTs, and Brit/Indian/Dutch HDMLs, and hopefully every stinkin Brit and Aussie auxiliary from a Kurumba AO to a Kangaroo net tender. And there’s 3 flavors of YOs, Brit Cadet-type coastal TKs, Woof!! Later war warships included – all the Canajans, eh? – Brits, Indians, French, golly. Not to worry, the art just drops in. We reserved spaces, and just filled them out, so one can play “stock AE” with Da Babes art set. If we get real lucky, maybe the Les Bebes art extras can get schlepped into patch-2. Anyway, that’s what’s on the horizon. Coming soon to a theater near you. Ciao. John
