RE: Reviving Imperial Japanese Noob

<r> well game date is now Feb 22 - I still have to catch up with the AAR<br/>

I actually landed on Java on Feb 17. I took the Koepang - Tjiltjap approach. So far it's working decently, although I hoped better - mostly because 2 allied cruisers hastily leaving the area when my carriers showed ...

Reviving Imperial Japanese Noob

<r> Trying to revive this thread again (with yet a different format). The main reason for doing this is that I'm somewhat stuck in game.

Imperial Japanese Noob crawls back

<r> Well, this is an attempt to revive this AAR, some 6 months after I stopped updating it.<br/>
The main reason for the stop was that the dreaded real life had hit my schedule... and unfortunately it kept hitting quite hard in the following months, to the point that after about 6 months of real ...

RE: pwhex data differs while upgrading

ORIGINAL: BB57

The patch made some minor changes to the map. That makes the old and new pwhex files different.

so this is normal behavior and I should just click "yes"?[&:]

RE: pwhex data differs while upgrading

i don't think so, an error on my side is far more likely
anyway, can you confirm that on a proper update procedure I shouldn't be getting that message on step 6? (i mean step 6 in the sticky)
