What are those three icons in the bottom right...airplane engine, airframe and tank?

Excellent stuff. I just have one suggestion. How about losing the ugly white star on baby poop green marker for U.S. bases and substituting the nifty American flag I picked up from Spooky's site for UV? I also like the "rising sun" flag instead of the plain meatball-in-a-white-square thingie.
I don't see what you used for Ozzie bases, but the marker in PacWar's most recent editions was awfully nice.

Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

The us army light green with white start flag is a tad poopy. I always use the american flag in UV even. Much better.

In my humble opinion, the base flags in UV are better than the rising sun and the stars and stripes.
The flags are too small to have too many colours and I don’t want the map to look like a circus.
As for the other nationalities, the flags need to have a purpose, otherwise they just add to the colours, thereby detracting from the lovely map graphics.

That's the way - uh huh, uh huh, I like it
Along with a nice representation of the Ozzie flag, which is one of the great designs of all time.

How about the boxing kangaroo flag? 
If we were to go along the path of removing all reminders of our British colonial heritage, then I suppose we would have to change quite a few place names in Australia as well. We had a referendum vote a few years back to become a republic - must have been only some of us who wanted one?

What are those three menu bar buttons to the right of the TF list button - you know, where the combat replay button is in UV. Looks like a checker board a boat and a (?)lighthouse(?) or something like that.

Control Zones (where you set areas of the map to human or computer control), Auto-Convoy system (where you set aside ships and indicate which bases you want those ships to run convoys to), Strategic Map. The second icon is supposed to be a transport, and I agree the third icon is very unclear. These are all new features in WitP.

I'm drooling as well....I may need a bib for the next few months.
Pacific War was amazingly ambitious for it's day. (1992) I believe this is the first game to tackle the subject since then with the possible exception of 360-Pacific's Victory at Sea. A game which gave us James F. Dunnigans' book of the same name and then disappeared.
