Arakan 1945- In development

I have a copy of:
http://www.amazon.com/British-Invasion- ... 423&sr=8-1

This gives details of the forces for the Rangoon and Malaya invasions. Not down to LCM or LCA but everything else.

Let me know if you want any research - but I will be out of town from early tomorrow morning for a week.

I've got that as well [:D] I've also got http://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Pacific ... 635&sr=8-3

[Don Bowen]

Yup. got that one too. Also:
http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Fleet-B ... 898&sr=8-1
and
http://www.amazon.com/Operation-Pacific ... 951&sr=1-1

Also some army-oriented histories on Burma that generally (and maddenly) say: "two LCM and an ML", etc.

Don't know of any other sources.

I've got a couple of other books on the RN out East, although not on the East Indies fleet.  I've also got http://www.amazon.com/Burma-Longest-194 ... 734&sr=1-1 and the Bloody Shambles series.  Mix and match the info and there's a decent picture of the situation.

Landing craft have been the hardest part of the oob I'm putting together, there's plenty of info on Overlord but cock all on the Indian Ocean hence the educated guesswork.  I'm beginning to think I should've just done Op Zipper from the start, the info is a lot easier to find for that [:D]  Plus I'd have a use for a couple of the new ship sides I knocked together.

Not strictly part of the forces in the scenario, but she was out East around that time. The former cross channel ferry converted into a LSI, HMS Prince Albert.

A fictional opposed Zipper would be really interesting if you have the data to do it

I've got some rough oobs for both sides, including almost the entire Commonwealth invasion fleet down to LCI size vessels. The plan is to use the Arakan scenario as a practice before moving onto a bigger size scenario, like Zipper.

Im at the stage now in the Arakan development where I'm starting to dabble in the AI side of things. I might even have a beta version out before I go back to work.

Does anyone know how to add minefields to a location in the editor?

[DuckofTindalos]

Impossible, unfortunately.

Well bugger...

I'll have to find a workaround then.
