http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3329605&mpage=1&key=

If this is your time as Japan, I would play the stock Scenario 1 as Japan. You could also read my WarGamer article that talks about some of the mods, like the art work ones as an example, located here. The section discussing mods is about halfway down in the article.

http://www.wargamer.com/Article/3490

All Scenarios (and mods) start Dec 7 or 8 1941. If you want anything with an earlier start you need to play a different game

However, if you do well as Japan you can play into '46 if you want but very few games go that long as usually you will know the outcome long before '46.

Where do I find the R&D factories and how to repair them in the editor?

Just fire up Scenario 1 with the settings as they are. If you want to have the game start on Dec 8th and have everything that happened on the 7th modeled as what really happened then there is a scenario for that too.

Once it is open you will see this screen. You need to select the Location tab highlighted below.

In the example I typed 'to' and then scrolled down a bit to click on the name on the left side. This brings up everything at that location. You can see that no R&D factories are showing. To get them on the list you need to click on the tinny button highlighted that says '11-20'

Status: offline 		To make them fully repaired Just put the same numbers in the Number column and then zero out the Dis column as shown below.

You have to do each location individually like this if you want to start with all the R&D fully repaired.

Once you have got things the way you want you need to save the file in a different 'slot' so you do not muck up the 'normal' scenario file you loaded to start the editing process.

Then you just use your 'new' file to start playing the first turn.

However, against the Allied AI, I would not do any of this but now you know how to do it

My opponent isn't complaining though!

Status: offline 		I also highly recommend reading through AARs on the forum to get an idea of what experienced players do - but I use them as ideas, not strict guides. Play around and have fun. But I'd recommend both Mike Solli and SqzMyLemon's AARs from the Japanese side - both do a great job explaining what they are doing and why, with great visuals as well.
