Hi, I also want to thank the group for this fantastic mod. This is definitely the Mod that i've been waiting for, and the minute that the last release was published, I restarted my campaign for the final long haul. Something happened in my game today that has never happened in all my years of WITP/AE. Now, before I start with this, it's important to note that this game is US vs IJN AI as I don't have the schedule to play PBEM. Anyway, now, this might be something that has happened to all over you, but this is a first for me. It's Dec. 11st, and I had originally ordered my CV Enterprise to pick up the A/C at Wake and return safely to PH. I've done this move in all my games in WITP and AE and it's always worked successfully as the path of the KB has always been predictable. For the first time, the AI actually caught my CV group by surprise, and an attack ensued. I lost every ship (incl. Enterprise) in the combat, and worse, not a single hit on the KB. Now normally, I would be very upset, and I was, in general, at the lost of the Enterpise itself (and it's very well trained crew), but all I could say after the attack was "Cool...." "Very cool..." "Nice, nice, nice...". This is also the first time that i've played a campaign at "Historical" vs my normal "Hard" difficulty level. Now, i'm sure that Andy's AI scripts have a lot (if not all) to do with this, but finally with this Mod, I have an AI that has made my life really challenging after only 4 days within the campaign. Now I only have 2 CVs until the Hornet arrives. This Mod also makes you absolutely think about everything you do. It's taking my twice as long to make a move, which I like. Normally, I would transport just any type ENG unit to an island and just start building, but now, it takes time, effort, and a whole lot of coordination to make sure that you have the right type, and the right unit within the type to start doing anything. Anyways, I could go for pages about the fun i'm having w DBB, but just wanted to say thank you very much for your efforts.
