Not to be nit picky, but the USS Mississippi is slated to arive in Karachi, not San Francisco??

As a whole I am impressed... lots of targets out there to shoot at... hehe

Oops! That is my fault. This looks like a problem that somehow occurred during my conversion of the scenario 155 to create scenario 154, for my standard map. It seems I moved the Mississippi to Karachi by mistake. One merchant ship was also affected. I will fix it ASAP and update the scenario. Apologies to all.[8|]

I corrected scenario 154 (CHS scenario for my standard map) and I have uploaded to my WitP website, where it can be downloaded from the scenario page. I will also update and upload the CHS package file - I will place another message here when it is at Spooky's.

I found another problem. P-38s and F-5s based in the US. I sent out an Email about this through Spooky.

But, here it goes again. Start the game and go to the US. You will see the squadrons on 12/8/41 in LA. Now according to the reinforcement schedual you will not see the first squadron for an additional 214 days.

Were these suppose to be another type of plane, or did I do something wrong when I installed CHS?

I did a dual install just for CHS with it's own folder and start up shortcut.

Can you be a little more specific about the air groups?

In CHS (and several other custom scenarios) the P-38F has been included. It stands in for the both the E and F models and there were fighter squadrons equipped with the E model on 12/7/41. In CHS there are two such squadrons (with F models) at LA. This is correct.

The only recon squadron at LA on 12/7/41 is equiped with B-18s. There is an F-4 squadron at the United States base. The F-4 is the recon version of the P-38E/F and also was available on 12/7/41 (in small numbers). This squadron will update to F-5 but none are available at the start of the game.

My version of the scenario shows the correct deployments.

Ok, just wanted to make sure. I've been playing this game since PacWar and never seen P-38s so early. I know Lockheed had prototypes as early as '37 but didn't know they had production runs that early. Does the reinforcement pool reflect this as well?

Phillipine reserve Div showing up in West Coast

Post by akdreemer »

The Phillipine 102 Reserve Division appeared as a reinforcement at San Francisco.. I mistakenly moved it to Los Angeles... The database stipulated itwas to appear at Cagayan?

Pummels the feces out of me! It is coded to arrive at Cagayan on December 15th under USAFFE.

Has USAFFE been destroyed?? Are you perhaps running with variable reinforcements?? Can you hear Rod Serling narrating in the background??

I had this happen in the beta build with one of the other Philippine Divs. It was set to arrive in Bataan and Bataan fell before it arrived {defended Clark and Manila instead}. It arrived in LA or San Fran on the day it was supposed to arrive. Made a good garrison for someplace unlikely to be invaded and something to use when retaking the Philippines.

That would appear to be a data glitch associated with the game.

I have checked both the data base and a test game run and in both cases the Hurri 2b is armed correctly.

Which begs the questions since it is January 42, how did a British airgoup upgrade before May?

However, No. 28 Squadron starts off with Lysanders. Not the question of availability but the question of the fact that British Squadrons are not able to upgrade till May 1942, and this was Januarary 1942. And however this upgrade occured it retained the Lysander stats?
