Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

Greetings.

Screen time is one of those...grrrrr...need LOTS of screen time to work on this mammoth project.

My match with Paul Davis just finished with the formal surrender of Japan on January 2, 1945. Not ...

Re: Random thoughts

Completely agree with the very, very weak CD within the game. I bumped CD in the Between the Storms Mods and they really make no difference interfering with bombardments and landings.

Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

Sorry for no posting. A few weeks ago my left eye's retina decided it no longer wanted to be attached to my eye. Had a 90 minute surgery that turned into twice that and we are still awaiting to see what sort of sight we'll have from that eye. NOT pleasant!

Am recovering slowly though. Wanted to ...

Heck. I understand. Rolled 60 two weeks ago and do not know how that is possible!

Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

I have also decided to move the start date of the Scenario up to April 1st rather then May 1st. Think this better reflects the speed of actually conquering the 'minimum' territories.

Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

Japanese LCU cut.

Now we shift to Japanese ships, class, and air groups that are not in BTS: Goodbye Kaga, Taiho, and Shinano as well as the Katori-Class.

Notes:
Will delete all the CVE (they shift to conversions from the big 21 Knot APs)
Change Mizuho and Nisshin from their classes to a 3rd and ...

This provides a great chance at working continuity. Will reshape units so their is stronger connectiveness that makes rationale sense!

Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

This is how the current SNLF Assault Brigades look like. They can be broken down into three equal parts if needed. This is why they come up as Divisions but are actually Brigades. I could never figure how to get the editor to breakdown a Brigade into three. Can only make an ID do that...

Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

OK. Just spent an hour deleting and noting appropriate units that become the core of the IJN LCU combat changes for BTS. So....

SNLF Units (ID 2128) 29 units at 48 Inf Squads yields 1392 Squads
SNLF Coy (ID 2267) 3 at 18 for 54 more Squads

Nvl Gar (ID 2129) 38 units with 48 Squads equal 1824 ...

Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

Always good to hear from you Kitakami. How are you doing these days?



OK. Am starting work. I will do the Japanese Side while Michael will handle the majority of the Allied Side.

Figure the easiest thing to start with is DELETE all the Japanese units that no longer exist but take on new forms ...

Why Thank You!

Every ship sunk or Allied plane shot down is sweet revenge for the pure, EVIL AFFRONT of infidels on Dai Nippon's soil.

Re: Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

Really looking forward to this work in that we have done sooooooo many little patches, changes, and modifications, this will allow us to keep what works and have a strong change log on EXACTLY what we have done. Think that will make a bunch of sense and truly help the rationale of the Mods.

Early-42 Mod Development for BTS

Greetings all.

Michael and I have decided that we are complete gluttons of punishment. We have decided to apply an early-spring 1942 template to all of the Between the Storms Variants: Treaty, RA, BTS-Air, BTS-Balanced, and BTS-Heavy.

This decision was only taken with finding a template to use ...

Re: Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd

Thank You PAX!

We are currently sharpening millions of bamboo poles to stab our evil enemy with.

This is because bamboo poles was all we had HI/LI for!

That fuel and oil will help get me to my surrender while still FIGHTING!
