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.
