End game at Java

[kaleun]

The Japanese carriers make an appearance

[kaleun]

It doesn't look as if Wake can be saved. We may still try to make it expensive, but that is about it.
Japs invade Borneo again, and assault Soerabaja
Allied forces continue to grind down Japanese at Canton island. We wonder about the carrier TF located just NW of Canton. Maybe they are trying to reinforce, or perhaps[8|]hopefully, evacuate.

Need some info... What are you trying to load? Those RAF HQs?

Yes, that's it, the HQs. If you notice the "load troops" and "load only troops" buttons are not active.

It looks to me like you are using the wrong map data file. You cannot load troops and you have a TF which appears to be sailing through the prohibited zone, instead of along the sea channel to/from India. You will need to ensure that both you and your opponent are using the correct map data file for the extended map.

So what files should we use?
Thanks

There is a pwhex.dat file in the extended map package zip file (located in the "ART\Maps_Modified_4X" directory). That one is the one that should be used with the extended map. Note that if you switch to using this file before that TF in the prohibited zone gets to an ocean hex, the TF will become "trapped", so move it out to an ocean hex first, before switching the file.

Also, make sure that BOTH of you are using the right data file. Let me know if you need more help.

Looks like my baby carrier group has scored another blow to the American carrier forces. With some minor damage done to the IJN flattops Lexington is set ablaze. This battle took place noth east of Canton Island. This photo was take by a torpedo bomber pilot from the carrier Shoho.
