Here is the latest (2003) impulse track.

I'm interested in your study on the weather probabilities, and I hope you'll publish the results somewhere.

Thanks again.
I will definitely do that... when it's finished and checked and double-checked

About the weather map, the different kind of weather are hard to tell appart : Storm / Snow and in some way Blizzard and Rain.

The stars are nearly invisible. And the weather legend should be near each month name or only once at top, in the middle with all the colors on the picture it is hard to saw.

Also thoses pages 9-10 tutorial should point right from the start that a D10 is rolled for weather, could be confusing to see 12 images otherwise...

Thank you for your comments.

I want to revisit all the screen shots for the tutorials since it has been over a year since they were taken and I know that some of the forms have changed. And yeah, the presentation of the weather information could stand improvement.

Stated in post 247, the discription of the Optional 2D10 table on the modifiers:
“-4 for attacking in jungle. But +1 for each white print Japanese, Australian or US marine attacking a jungle hex.”
This means that only white print marine units from Japan, Australia or the US are getting the +1.

Stated in post 249, the notes for odds modifiers:
“+1 per US marine, Japanese or Australian corps/army (unit must be elite) attacking a jungle hex”
This means that any white print US marine, or any white print Japanese or Australian corps/ army is getting the +1.  

Since I never played with the 2D10 table the question is which is correct. I haven't got a clue...

Status: offline 		If this is the case, I would suggest to change both lines as follows:

"+1 per US marine, white print Japanese or Australian corps/army attacking a jungle hex".

Or are both lines correct English language? I am a little confused by the different descriptions here...

A US marine division doesn't qualify for a +1, or does it qualify? Since the first line doesn't state "corps/army" and the second line does...



Peter.

The text in post 249 is more precise. This is an example of the difference between ADG's WIF FE rules (post 247 - faithful to ADG's RAW) and my rewrite of of them for MWIF (post 249).

I am loathe to makes these edits though, since what may appear to be a minor rewording can affect the interpretation of the rules. So, for the Rules as Coded (RAC) document, I have left the ADG text unmodified. The Help message in post 247 is quoting from RAC.

On the other hand, I had to decide how the text should be interpreted so that I could write the code. And when I explain how the program works (e.g., in the Players Manual - post 249 is from the PM), I rewrite some text for clarity.

Life is never easy.

That meant not being able to get to work on wednesday, that was the positive side of things...
