Will check it out.

This is a call for anymore commentary from the Playtesters? I would like to make the Mod available by next Monday.



Any chance you could email the updated files you have? Then we could do a quick final check of them.

I shall go through and correct the last things mentioned at the bottom of Page 3 and then send them out for perusal.

How does one attach the ship art to the a ship? Never done that before. Its probably easy...

Status: offline 		I haven't either, but there is a field in the ship class data base called bit map. It appears that the number here corresponds to the art work file name. There will be two.

For the Allies: AnSidexxx.bmp in ART/AlliedShip_Back folder and AnShilxxxx.bmp in ART/AlliedShip_Transp folder. xxxx is the bitmap number.

For Japan: JnSidexxxx.bmp in ART/Japship_Back folder and JnShilxxxx.bmp in JapSiShills_transp folder.

Status: offline 		Thanks Cpt.

It would appear that we shall release next week without major issue. Will do the finishing touches and resend the files to the playtesters for a final perusal and then release it. Think people will be pleasantly surprised with the newest variant.

You might want to look into P-38 pools and arrivals in the game. I only have a single P-38G squadron. It has 25 aircaft, but I have nothing in the pools. We haven't had any combat in something like two months, so by now you'd think there would be a decent number. I don't know the historic numbers, but I think there's a pretty serious disparity between what the Allies have and what Japan has or can develop. We're probably about to find out just how lopsided this is. I hate to give away info like that about the Lightnings, but you probably need to know as the mod designer.

Status: offline 		I looked at both the 5.5 and the 6.0 files. 6.0 will have more P38-Gs than 5.5, but he should have plenty. I wonder if he inadvertently turned off production.

Not needed/wanted. The IJN begin building three Improved-Shokaku Class CVs and a pair of fast Command Cruisers to go with Yamato and Musashi.

Status: offline 		OK. Looks like we're good.

Completed:
1. The 3 Japanese CL to CVL Conversion now have their own Class (Aso).
2. Attached Charlotte Artwork and she LOOKS great! Thanks Sulu/Gary.
3. IJN Coy fixed.
4. Allow a conversion of the 4 old Japanese CA to CA AA in 1943 now.

Need:
1. I thought we had artwork for the Command Cruiser/Battlecruisers of the Kawachi Class (B-64/B-65). Does anyone have this artwork?

Working:
1. Working on the artwork folder that includes the RA Vessels as well as Sulusea's great loading pages.
2. Making sure the Scenario Description is done and have the pictures created to replace the 'standard ones' we see everyday.

Not sure what you were trying to do here, but I think it is wrong.
This TF starts at Cape Town







This strange TF is still in the data files. Do you want a TF with a TK in it going to Perth? If so, it should not have a TF name of HMS Australia I would think.

Status: offline 		An item that doesn't matter much, LCU 5556 is at Pearl Harbor with march orders to Ndeni.

You could also fix LCU 5639, it is at Seattle with march orders for Whittier. I am not sure if it will get there before it withdraws.

Same with LCU 6855, marching from Fort Ord to San Francisco.

The last two are carry overs from stock, not sure about the first one.

Status: offline 		I don't see anything else right now. I am not real happy about the increase in garrison requirements but not moving some of the troops available to cover them, but we will have to live with it. I do like the idea of the gnarly Asian roads, looks like it will slow things down, but it remains to be seen if it is enough.

Status: offline 		If you list the garrison where things are worst, I can transfer some troops to cover them. I tried to bump the garrison requirements where troops were already present--more or less--:>

Thanks for looking.

Did you see CLV Charlotte's artwork and get it attached?

Chengtu--Moved the 32nd and 55th Chinese Corps to this location.

Delhi--Moved 16th Lt Cavalry, 23rd Indian Brigade, and 1st Assam Rifles.

Garrison requirements shall be met here now. The remainder will have to see the player move them to the correct location.
