Opponent Needed For Modified Scenario 17

Post by pz501 »

Seeking a PBEM opponent to play a modified Scenario 17 (either side). All options are negotiable, 1 Day turns, and hopefully, 1-2 turns per day.

Changes: 1. Japanese Naval Air Groups now identified by the designation used after the 11/42 IJN reorganization. Where they were named, and were a famous unit this is retained if possible. Example: F1/Tainan Daitai is now 1/251(Tainan)Kok.
2. USAAF squadrons now are identified with Squadron/Group designation. Example: 67 FS/347 FG.
3. Added USN missing Replacement Carrier Air Group 10 to OOB, arriving in October 1942, at Noumea.
4. Missing USMC squadrons (VMO-251, VMJ-252, VMJ-253) added.
5. RAN and RNZN CL's now have organic search planes (all from 13 Sqn, RAAF), These were actually Walrus, but SOC's have been substituted.
6. For both sides, various at start bases have had their AF size, and supply levels increased.
7. A few Japanese Engineer Units have had Engineer Vehicles added to them.
8. Missing US 24th Infantry Regt, and Japanese "Ichiki Detachment" added (for Ichiki, the 28th Inf Regt was reduced to compensate).
9. Missing HQ units added: For Allies: ComAirSols, 1st MAW, 2nd MAW. For Japanese: 21st Air Flotilla, 22nd Air Flotilla, etc.
10. Where needed, Air HQ's of both sides have received Air Support assets.
11. USN CV-4 (Ranger) is available as an optional unit.
12. All RN, RAN, RNZN, and Dutch ships have the appropriate prefix (HMS, HMAS, etc.) added.
13. Missing minor ships (such as Dutch DD Issac Sweers, Australian DD Vendetta) added, along with some missing Maru's.
14. Scenario max commitment points available to both sides increased from 20000 to 60000.
15. A handful of commanders on both sides have had their ratings adjusted (usually upwards, and only for approx. 10 individuals overall).
16. 1st and 2nd Marine Div's now have their historical Pioneer Battalions. Engineer Regiments are now properly termed "battalions", and sizes adjusted to account for the Pioneers. 1st Marine Raider and Parachute Battalions are now (properly) assigned to SoPac HQ.
17. For both sides, reinforcing air units arrive with a full complement of planes/pilots.

Anyone wishing to play this scenario, please contact me by private message or e-mail. As done, the Scenario uses Slot 198, and has displayed no problems under test vs the AI.
