Well - found 4 or 5 more. Seems we opened the can and it wasn't worms, it was cobras, bushmasters, and dragons. Freakin woof!!

Ok, DaBabes is back into open heart surgery. It will be a while. Did find out why lots of things don't upgrade how they are supposed to, and why certain units can't recombine. Also found out how to make unit upgrades into a 4-6 way matrix instead of the normal 2-3 way steps. A total pita, but shows some real promise for the release version.

Well... dragons are quite useful once tamed :)

Take your time, send us word once in a while, and then we will test stuff when you ship it out. No worries.

I just got around to downloading this mod and I hope to begin playing it as soon as an updated version is released.

Just one tiny nitpick - I think HMAS Doomba was based in Sydney, not Darwin (unless you have better information than I do?).

Checked Niehorster and he says Melbourne.

I think you're both kinda right.

What I could find out was Doomba was requisitioned 9/03/39 from Brisbane Tug & Steamship Co; went to Sydney for guns and DCs; commissioned 9/25/39 and served as minesweeper for the Wilsons Promontory, Cape Otway area. Have some pics of her at Station Pier in Melbourne, but in 1940.

12/21/41 was back in Sydney to get ASDIC gear and a couple more K-bangers. Still operating out of Sydney during the midget attack in May, and believe she even dropped on one of the little critters.

So Dec. 7, maybe Melbourne, but two weeks later was at Sydney for an upgrade. We don't have the upgrade in the game, she starts out with her DC load.

Maybe have her arrive in-game at Sydney on 411221 with some SysDam?

Not a big thing but since you mentioned it, I personally assigned System and Engine damage (out of the air number) for those USN ships in California reflecting as undergoing overhaul at this California historical site.

I also seem to recall there were a couple in the shipyards in Washington, but can't remember the source at this moment.

Of course for such a heavily modded scenario the "ideal" thing to do would be to start her in Melbourne and the upgrade should be added to the database, but that is a lot of work for such a miniscule aspect of the scenario.
