You mean you don't have a 40/40MB connection? [8D]

Try 612kB peak DL and about half that upload.

Bummer.

If I'm still online, I will help you out.

PM sent, installer worked fine, the Soviets are active in 71 and not in 72. I did not check much else yet.

Looks like the installer is missing a file for scen 75, which is Patton's version of Focus Pacific. Once I get that from him I'll repackage the installer, upload it, and share the file.

I still have some known art issues, but they're not show-stopping, and patching in new atop and atopalpha files is easy enough when/if I find a collaborator that is better with Photoshop than I am.

[BillBrown]

I didn't know about scenario 75.

Hi, can I get the link for the updated version of Focus Pacific please? Or is the link on pg 1 of this thread the updated installer?

Here you go - this is not the official release, as I'm waiting on a file from Patton so his version of Focus Pacific can be incorporated. Once I have it, I will repackage the installer, upload it and create a new thread for the release version with the final release.

Scenario 71:

1. Dup names 4285, 4286 both 12th BG/HG sqn

2. USN F5F skyrocket has an upgrade to P-50A Skyrocket, should it be to the F5F-2 Skyrocket?
USN F5F-2 Skyrocket has an upgrade to P-65 Skyrocket? Should it be to itself?

1. In investigating this issue I opened a large can of worms. In focus pacific, including my version, There is no unit withdrawal. So I found no less than 14 12th BG squadrons. I will email my solution to Para.

2. Your right. On my list of things to fix within my mod. Both F5F models are CV capable. The rest are not.

Keep them coming guys....GP

[BillBrown]

Be careful, some of those are Chinese.

[btd64]

These were USAAF not CAF....GP

I see that all of the invasion units start on map turn 1, but they all are assigned to restricted commands. Is that intentional?

Also, the invasion mobilization units do not appear. Will they only show up if the Japanese crosses those LODs?

I wanted to bump this. All of the invasion units start assigned to restricted commands. They are not much use if I have to spend many thousands of PPs to release them.

[btd64]

I agree. Para has or will let you know the purpose of those units being on map....GP

[btd64]

I have put them back as emergency reinforcements in scenario 75....GP

The inclusion of those forces is intentional to give the allied player greater flexibility. You receive significantly more PP in Focus Pacific, allowing you to buy these units out if you so choose. Also, you'll notice an unrestricted command in the West Coast restricted command hierarchy, allowing you to buy out your US units for a quarter of the PP. It's very doable to have every one of these units bought out by the end of 42, given that you don't spend too much in other areas.

OK, game breaker for me.
