ORIGINAL: Onime No Kyo I was thinking about something of this sort a while ago and posted a thread in which, IIRC, Alikchi took part. It all started with a conversation with one of my profs who introduced me to the idea of what the Brits in the 30s had planned to have in Malaya by 42. After tinkering a bit, I discovered that I just dont have the wherewithal or the patience to do something like that (tacit statement of utter respect for Tanker there) and just forgot about it. I'm glad Alikchi is continuing the idea. I would be very interested in seeing a scenario like that. Thanks so much! Seeing that someone else had thought about the idea and thought it was plausible was nice. There's not a whole lot of point in making this if there's no one to play it against. [:D] It's definitely going to be time consuming, but progress is being made. Right now I'm still looking for good research on exactly what you said - which units, specifically, the British had earmarked for Malaya in 41-42. If anyone has info on this it'd very cool The Japanese, Dutch, and American fleets will have a few "what-if" changes too, with the most significant being a near complete overhaul for the IJN (to balance out the greatly strengthened British and Dutch forces). The scenario will be based off the latest CHS build with Andrew's map, by the way. Tentative title is "Iron Storm". If anyone's interested, I have a basic outline document online at the link below. It's rough and ugly - intended more for my benefit, really - but comments would be very much appreciated. [:)] http://cruft.vs.mythic-beasts.com/alikchi/ironstorm.html
