Almost. It's 92 instead of 91; the class list has a small error. Tanker knows... Now, if only somebody knew where Tanker was...

Whoa what?

Haven't seen this reported before, and I just checked the v1.2 scenarios (not the 1.2x that I am working on), and on the conversion screen the Japanese AE conversion converts to class 92 Kashino (AE) as it should.... so what exactly is the error?

And as to the patch questions, its all TBA at this point. It won't be until next week before I can get back to the French Navy add on, which I want to include with the 1.3 patch. And 1.3 won't be until I get new exes from Mike or Joe, and at least the Group resize bug fixed(which has been sent to Mike).

D'OH! Sorry... I mixed 91 and 92 up; that error was obviously fixed previously. Forget everything... You will forget everything... When I snap my fingers, you will have forgotten everything...

I don't know... Maybe that's why you've "forgotten" to do our game?[:'(]

So maybe I should ask since my WPO just arrived is the Manual worth reading after playing some time WITP or are there no bigger changed in the game play( I mean the mechanism not the different years and what goes with it the types of ships and so on)

If you've played WitP (or even UV) then the manual isn't all that much new. Some of the new rules are described (differences in classes, certain plane specific rules, etc) but almost 95% of the manual is the same. If you can play WitP, then you should have no trouble climbing right in to WPO.

Barges and damned PT boats

Post by Von Weber »

I've seen on the base screen dimmed options Pt boat create and barge create. How can they be created? In what port or base it ca be possible for the allies or only for Japanese? What should happen in the Pacific to make them appear?

Just curious if the Devs have considered updating War Plan Orange with some of the same options that units have in WtP-AE . Patrol zones for ships/Subs etc where applicable ?

An AE-style update for this game would be a dream come true, but the developer hasn’t logged into these forums since 2020… my guess is that this game has seen its final patch for quite some time now, unfortunately.

This reply/post might be too late, but i am working on a mod here. Some may like to get into it someday once i get it going. I been using files, etc from other sources as well few things online to improve WPO. Wasnt sure if there a copy right issues for changing things around in the game as previous game as custom mod.

Curious anyone of you guys still play this???

I play and absolutely love this game. If you need any testers for your mod, hit me up! I'll be first in line if you basically make a WPO-AE mod.
