He can always edit the pw file for himself!

Pretty sure I was too late.

I've already edited game file I use.

Just no way to edit the mines in Seattle that I know of.

Sorry for being late, I went away and played other games while waiting for the update and just recently returned to the game. I won't flood with minor change requests like last time.

I'm picky about details and it's usually the very little ones that get me.

Wendover ...

The 300 mines at Seattle have reappeared. They are not in every scenario, checked the first six and they only appear in Scenario 1 and 5q.

I would recommend instead of removing them again, move them and the associated ACM to Oak Harbor (210,51) where the Puget Sound Coastal Defenses are located.

Notes, spreadsheets, Tracker, keyboard shortcuts, Combat Reporter and Drachinifel Youtube videos constantly repeating.

The current issue I have is multiple monitors, it starts on one, when I try to drag to another one, the click hot spots seem to disappear.



This is a rather old game and an updated version of an even older game and an even older one before that, on multiple monitors it can only be played on ...

Details regarding the deployment of the 18th Infantry took forever to find, or so it seemed. No complete answer in one site, little details spread all over the place.

The 18th Infantry shipped from the UK in two convoys. The first was WS12X (WS - Winston Special), this was the convoy that used six ...

Apparently the 18th Recce Bn shipped without heavy equipment, they were to receive Bren Carriers and Humber Scout cars when they arrived in the Middle East. Functioned as a regular infantry Bn in Malaya.



Wiki is a good source to start research but only to start. Found the pre-deployment War ...

Here a few of the changes I previously made but haven't mentioned yet.

Destroyer Division 57 (four US DD at Balikpapan) - The US had committed to provide the British Force Z with additional DD since they were short. These four destroyers were enroute to join Force Z when the War started. Since the ...

Minor changes here.

Looked at the 18th Infantry division enroute from England and noticed one small problem to start.

The 251st Recce Bn is actually the 18th Recce Bn. The 251st was a Field Park Company, the Division level engineer company. Division also had three Field companies, engineer ...

Yes, going to be hard, no great online sources for the Indian Army. May need to purchase some more books.

Interesting, never heard of the Examination Battery but then found some info about it (and Burma Army in general) here : https://www.indiaburmasoldiers.co.uk/RangoonFieldBrigade.htm#ExamBty

If you don't mind I would like to 'steal' that nit pick for my mod, if I can find an unused LCU ...

Surprise Surprise, I made a mistake changing the gun on the Admiralty 'V' class destroyers.

First, the Admiralty 'W' class was the same as the 'V', just built with triple Torpedo launcher vice Double. All 'V' were updated to Triple post WWI.

Second, they were not equipped with a High Angle mount ...

Updated with info from the Japanese document. Didn't change much:
• added sixteen 6pdr CD guns to Singapore
• Added eighteen18pdr guns to Singapore fort (16th Defence Regiment which manned mobile guns for beach defense)
• three US 7in CD guns to Soerabaja
• Dutch port of Cherison to 51, 100 with two ...

I found a translated Japanese document from 1942 which is titled "Report on Installations and Captured Weapons, Java and Singapore". Pretty interesting reading, it contains details on numbers and placement of CD guns at Singapore and Soerabaja. I'll upload an updated scenario once I've made some ...

From what I have read the Hazemeyer was too complicated and unreliable and was replaced by a simpler, un-stabilised mount.



Thank you, I'll leave the Hazemeyer as is.

I've been away for quite a while this time, waiting for final update.

I have make a couple of additions. I found a sort of ...

Noticed this once before but didn't post. It's 1904 and building pre-Dreadnaught BB and the US 12" guns have a penetration of over 16".

Version .26 right before upgrading to .27.

Loved this game when it came out. For me a perfect Pacific game would be something between this and WitP, a bit closer to WitP.

Actively taking the role of every staff officer who participated on the Allied side during the war ...

One thing that has bothered me that would be relatively easy to change is that the Dutch Hazemeyer 40mm mount is less accurate than the standard 40mm Bofors which of course nonsense because it's just the 40mm in a stabilized mounting.


I hadn't noticed that, it's apparently significantly better ...

Anything useful I may upload is free use for anyone.

Thanks

Thank you!

Been playing Rule the Waves since the first version and didn't think about the NWS forum until after I had posted. I did repost this there and added a couple more things I discovered with some testing with save game editing.
