John 3rd -> Mark Two Changes (7/4/2010 12:35:32 AM)
|
For new players and returning ones, I am working to compile a rough list of changes from Mark 1 to Mark 2.
The Allied Player gets new toys and I think Michael will explain that there a several major choices beginning Dec 7th that could have a major impact on the Japanese movements South and Southeast. Changes:
A. There are two reinforcement convoys:
1. American Convoy at Pago Pago with 10,000 Supply, a Marine Defense Bat, small Base Force, and an AO with 8,000 fuel. This TF is escorted by a CL and 3 DD.
2. Port Moresby Reinforcement TF: contains the remaining two Inf Bat to create the larger Brigade at PM, a Base Force, 10,000 Supply, 6,000 Fuel. Escorting them are a CA and 3 CL forming the ANZAC Force. They start in the hex due South of the C in Coral Sea on the map.
B. Townsville: There is also a Hudson, Wirraway, and Floatplane Squadron at Townsville ready for deployment.
C. The Americans gain the ability convert several AOs to CVE in 1942 if wanted.
D. The Independence-Class CVL comes in 3 months early (March-April 1943) with two additional CVLs added to the class.
E. American Navy gains a VF, VB, and VT Training Squadron at San Diego. They can expand to 36 (or maybe 48) planes and they will allow for American Naval Training similar to what the Japanese can do.
F. Some shipping is moved from the IO to Cape Town to facilitate a quicker British Empire reaction.
Those are most of the Allied changes. Should make things a lot more interesting for the BOTH players now.
Have FUN players!
John
