L:50 I:60 (Will implement when I get zepplins/airships in and working) Tank Bn on the PI: Capriglione, A.V. L:63, I: 69 Manila CD Unit: Scholl, MIke L:? I:? Transport Captain: J.B.Starr (Will be added when I get to the tranports and fleet trains) Just as an update to what is happening, I took a 2 day "vacation" to play some WiTP of my own, but now I am back workin full speed. I'm going to finish up the OOB work, and with luck be able to begin some alpha testing later this month. Hopefully even as early as two weeks. Here is the plan of what is left to do: Finish Warship OOB work Finish Warship Graphics Alpha Testing Add in support ship and LCU OOB Scenario Design Beta Testing Create Windows Installer Release I'm pretty far along in the OOB work and Graphics, shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 weeks to finish. For the Alpha testing, I am going to design small scenarios pitting 2 to 4 ships of the same type together in a naval batle, to see how they fair. This should tell me if I think a ship is too lightly armored, or if the guns work as expected. Or in the case of BCs, make sure that magazine explosions are (unfortunately) a very distinct possibility, yet don't happen all the time. After that, I'll add in the support vessels (AS, AD, AR, AV(maybe), and LCUs. Then I will begin La Grande campaigne, one set in 1922 (predreads), the other in 1927(super dreadnoughts). Also, I want to include a number of smaller scenarios (Fight for the PI, fight for the Marianas, cruiser actions in the South Pacific), and maybe even a few "quick battle" scenarios, which will basically be small, "instant action" naval battles for a few hours enjoyment or a quickie PBEM. Then, before release, I'll bundle it into a fancy Windows style Installer (hopefully). I know how to do it in VB, its just been a LOOOOONNNGGG time. So guys, that's how it stands. With luck, in 4 weeks we can all be playing this. Who knows, maybe Matrix will label them "official"? That'd be sweet.
