Do you plan on upgrading to reflect OOB changes in v1.52? (These may be significant enough to warrant a restart) Some of which you already fixed...

On a similar note...when you update a device...ie the forward Colorado class turret...Do you have to update the facing in the device list as well as in the ship list for each individual ship?

I fixed the official scenarios and my personal scenarios at the same time, so basically I had to make each correection 22 times...

I will upload the corrected 1.52 compliant files probably this weekend...

As for part 2 yes for a unit that starts on map on the 1st turn of any scenario if you make a correction to the class information you must also refresh the ship information as well/

Hopefully they don't find a problem with AK's or AP's[X(]

The reason I asked...I was contemplating making the changes myself...

IYO if you were 18 turns into a PBEM would you restart with these changes?

Pry,

Are you waiting for the current open Beta patch (called 1.54 as I write this) to be final before you consider your scenarios released as opposed to pre-release, or are your scenarios final right now?

Pry,

Are you waiting for the current open Beta patch (called 1.54 as I write this) to be final before you consider your scenarios released as opposed to pre-release, or are your scenarios final right now?

I have already included all the 1.5X (Official 1.6) changes to these scenarios (updated scenarios are not publicly available just yet) However after new information and clarification from Mike on a game code issue I have to make some changes to the Allied Air group slot order relating to Russian Activation, a relatively minor fix for my scenarios.

Over all I am more than pleased with how these scenarios play the pace is decidedly slowed down (My main goal for creating them) and I feel most of the issues I had concerns about are not a factor. I have encountered no issues with the AI using these scenarios other than the AB map versions where the AI does not know that Bora-Bora and Addu Atoll exist so they are from a game stand point pacific Gibraltar's immune from Japanese attack because the AI does not know they are there. Again from the AI issue these can be played without any real issues from either side against the AI.

The one major item that has not been fully played out is the long term issue of my much reduced Allied daily supply and fuel allotments. We have yet to see how the numbers hold up with the massive allied forces on map in 44 and 45. Given the AI's weakness in keeping itself supplied this could be an issue in Japanese verses Allied AI games but we will just have to figure that out as we get to it.

Overall after I make a few changes to account for what I described above, I feel comfortable in calling the next release, "Release Beta"... unless something rears its ugly head that requires a major change they should be game ready and offer you a stable scenario that can be played full term.

pry,

Are you allowed to post the information on which air group slots are affected? If so I, for one would much appreciate it. [:)]

Long story short do not move ANY Russian Air or LCU in the data base, consider those slots reserved (like Japanese slots 1940 thru 1984 in the LCU DB) for the Russian unit that resides there.

Pry, what's the situation with the 1.6 patch and your scenario? I'm using your sc34 with AB's map. Can I just install the patch?

cheers

No issues, you will have to copy back AB's pwhex file for the custom map after updating to 1.6 as it will be replaced by a new pwhex file for the standard map.

New updated scenario files available (Links listed in Post #1 of this thread)

These scenarios are now considered Release Beta, Meaning that these scenarios can be played long term and should present no issues to PBEM or AI games. I may still make a few more changes to the data base to further refine the scenarios but players should be able to enjoy a good game now.

See readme in post #1 of this thread for changes...

Any chances of getting some airplanes that would come to play in late 1945-early 1946 in future versions ??

Bump.

Not to be left by the wayside.[;)]

For those of you wanting to play a more balanced game using either of the maps that are available.
These are a great option.

I Allies in an AI game. Up to mid-January '42. Love it so far. Doing away with group-size air units is sooo nice all by itself.

I'm in 1943 against IJ AI. It's now bit low intensity since I started also CHS vs IJ AI. Both pry's and CHS scenarios are great !!
