Oh how I can't wait to see this available, most likely will start my PBEM using this campaign.

You can ... Andy is "just" doing the AI module for the scenario. The first post has scen50 ready to rock n roll for PBEM. Although from my read I think there are still some things to iron out.

I have started a PBEM vs Aztez using this scenario. There's a AAR (The armchair strategists club, currently on p. 2 because aztez seems to be currently quite busy, low turn rate). So far, I haven't really met a major issue (although the dsitribution of shipping assets sort of leads to a slow start).

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Nikademus,

Can you please take a look at two threads in tech sub forum?
tm.asp?m=2910475
tm.asp?m=2923113
It concerns lack of proper upgrades for sound detector used by many base forces, type 95 light tank not upgrading into type 98 and typo in antisoft value of Type 2 light tank.

As you're readying a new official scenario that, IMHO, would be quite attractive and frequently played (frankly speaking, I'd play it myself as my next PBEM, being tired of the initial conquer to be made [;)]), you can correct at least some clear errors found in the database.

The changes are fairly easy to make since this isn't one of the core scenarios ( 1 to 15 IIRC ) which isn't protected. Just make device 1467 upgrade to one of the earlier radars and then auto-upgrades will take care of itself.

Same thing with the Type 95s. I have all the IJA Tankettes and IJA Light tanks ( Type 95, type 98 etc ) upgrading to Medium tanks ( eventually all the way to the Type 3 ) by war's end. It'll help fix some signifcant issues. Just have to be sure to check the US and Commonwealth upgrades too. Some of the Commonwealth tank upgrade paths are pretty shattered.

Well, that's that settled then.

Is this already fixed in DaBabes? My PBEM is 09_03_-42 and tracker says there are -103 sound detectors used and only 6 still in service.

Thx.....I'm trying to keep track of errata while Andy works on the AI. Plan on doing a revision in sync with the AI debut.

Yup, I know how to use the editor... [;)]
But what's official, its official. [:D]

I don't want to be accused of being a wrongdoer and messing with official data before finding an opponent. In old WITP days I always liked the may '42 scenario and think it would be quite popular. Finding an opponent for a mod is usually not that easy as finding one for official or quasi-official.

As more and more people reach later stages of grand campaigns, Nikademus has opportunity to beef up the scenario a bit or at least get rid of some clear errors in data.

I'd like to echo what derhexer said. I am keeping tabs on this scenario, but this time of year I am time crunched as well. I can wait :)

Houston we have a problem

Full Desktop meltdown and backup external (full) 500 GB drive both gone

Takena week to get a laptop up and runing to get my turns going again
Initially looks like all my scen and ai files are gone including May 42 version and all the new development AI scripts.

Going to send the disk drives to a specialist data recovery service as losing both backup and main in 24 hours is a tad suspicious (main HD sourinding noise whnds pretty bad it has a major genever I try to boot from it so I think its toast as for th back up we will see)
