Glad you are going to play. You SHOULD be able to pull everything down off of JWE's Babes site. Make sure you do the expended map with stacking limits. It is EXCELLENT! I sent to Stanislav RA 4.2 last week and he got it Posted.

Have FUN!
John

FatR: Did you upload the 4.2 files?

The small BF Co have slot 5 empty (shows up as Device 717) with 2 of them. You need to change the Device to 721 (7.7mm AAMG) for the 9 small BF Co. assigned to Combined Fleet. They are near slot 4400 under Locations.

At Truk, the port is large enough to allow this, so I can take the 5 to 6 days to do so with the ships that start there, but it would be nice if some were converted to xAK -t

Status: offline 		I have sent RA 4.3 to FatR for Posting on the site. Mostly changes detailed by Michael above. Some tweaks to Allied aircraft production but that is about it.

An early-42 RA Scenario? Hmmm...

THAT is interesting. Beyond Xargun would there be interest in it?

My brain chewed on the 'after the DEI' starting idea and I like it a lot. Time is a serious concern since summer is starting and the boys are home. That being said it could be a lot of fun to put together and we could brainstorm a whole bunch of 'what happened' ideas. Tentative idea would be to work with an March 1st or April 1st start point figuring the DEI has just fallen...

I for one, as an Allied player, enjoy the sparring that goes on in the DEI and I am continually looking for ways to change my tactics in this area. I played two PBEMs with the late start in WITP and found them wanting.

Status: offline 		Tend to agree with you Bill but a lot of people see the opening as pure tedium. I tend--as you know--to take less casualties when I run the offensive from Day One and things always seem so contrived when you begin with units already set for a May 1st start. Perhaps we could make this a bit more 'reasonable.'

Leave Froce Z in the game and that might make it more reasonable. The allied opening turn is even more tedious than Japan's with xAK's etc all over the place and none where you want them. It normally takes me over an half hour to do the SS orders from Manila alone (I counted 11 mouse clicks per order or more). But in two turns, all is right!

Can I ask why you split KB in two TFs at the start of the scenario? Are there hex limits of some kind in this game?

QUERY: Does anyone have art issues with the Kitakami and/or our redesigned training cruisers showing up in the combat display when surface combat is occurring? Just really noticed I have that issue within my install. Figure it is just me but wanted to throw out the question.

I have this class show up as MIA, but its OK when I pull up any DaBabes game. I doubled checked in the Editor and everything seems OK there.

I have a problem with a missing BB Art in RA 3.4.2. The BB conversion art of the New Mexico class is missing.

I replaced the Art Folder "AlliedShip_Back" and "AlliedShip_Transp" of RA 4.2 into my folders, but no luck.

Any help?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		THIS is a new one. Let me check my copy and see if I have the same problem. Anyone else have this issue?

Michael brought up to my attention that Truk starts the war WAY overstacked. If not worked on immediately this leads to a severe drain on supply. Am considering pulling some troops and placing them in the Marianas to alleviate the issue.

I don't suppose I could talk you into adding FF to the possible upgrade list of Japanese FP air groups?

Also, can I ask why the Oi & Kitakami (both are CL in the stock scenarios)had their torpedo complement reduced? In the stock games both CL fire a broadside of 20 torpedoes. In RA their broadsides are reduced to 2 torpedoes. I was just wondering if that was intentional or if maybe the database for those ships has a typo (2 VS 20).

Nothing is changed regarding damage. You allowed him to attack all these locations? Did he use only CV Air? I allow for up to 2 Port Strikes but they must be launched from Carriers.

CRations: The Oi and Kitakami are not TT Cruisers in RA. You will see that their mounts get used elsewhere. Oi, Kitakami, and two others are training cruisers in RA. The Katori-Class Training CL does not exist. It isn't built in this AltNavHist.
