Germany Grumpy/open
Japan Grumpy/open
SU/China Ezto
West 82nd trooper

So we need one more axis and grumpy to choose which axis he wants to be. Would you guys also like to do a simple AAR?

It will have Dutch East Indies including northern New Guinea and Solomons being historically accurately uninvolved until after the Pacific Blitz.
Also a slightly adjusted Pacific Ocean map giving more accurate distances from Pearl to Sydney.

Also thinking about restoring first turn for SU to awake to January instead of February, giving them one more turn to get ready.
Any thoughts on that one?

and i am having some concerns about the dutch east indies change. the west needs that supply.   we reduced the west production and if we take that supply away early its going to have an impact.   it you make that change than we need to do something to remady that.

Status: offline 		Just uploaded 6T to scenario bank.

Here's the changes:

Removed free city garrisons to UK when playing Historical Western Blitz
Adjusted Pacific Ocean map to more accurately reflect distances from Pearl to Australia
Changed Dutch East Indies & Solomons to more historically accurate not in war until Pacific Blitz
Added 2000 free supplies to Calcutta until JA declares war with China, removed 2000 of new JA production, in order to aid game balance

Posts, both public and private, gave overwhelming rejection of the free UK city garrisons. Point well taken, so now removed.

New Pacific map should more accurately give the importance of Guadalcanal as a base used to interdict USA supplies to Australia. (thanks 82nd)

I also just completed a fair amount of research from numerous sources about exports from Dutch East Indies in war years.
Almost all their exports went to JA and USA from 1939 to July 1941. When USA declared embargo on JA 6 months prior to Pearl, Dutch East Indies did the same. UK was getting virtually nothing from DEI. Also, Allied troops did not base there until after Pearl Harbor. Thus the need to get them out of the game until Pearl.

I checked India's production as well, and it was also fairly small until Pacific war heated up. They did contribute a number of infantry however, especially starting in 1943 and the push to retake Burma. I think the changes I made will more accurately reflect these historical realities without throwing game balance too far in JA's favor. Play testing (which I obviously haven't had time to do yet) will give us a better idea of how this change improves or not game balance while adding more accurate historical flavor.

Hope you guys have a great game. I will follow it with anticipation.

Just ammended file to take away 2000 of new JA production to balance some of the supply loss by Dutch East Indies no longer belonging to West.

I don't expect to be making any more changes for awhile now, unless people discover bugs. Real life very busy.

Status: offline 		Alright game started and first turn played. Here are the options I picked. Hope they work for everyone..

-FOW
- Passwords
- Anti-Supply
- Anti PBEM Cheat
- Special units
- Historical Western Blitz
- Canadian Supply of UK
- Accelerate Ship Production

Will start an AAR for the AXIS. Allies should probably do a seperate one so we don't have to worry about divulging intel.
