Cool. Nice scenario. Thanks for the support.

Andy, you are much too modest!

Downfall v4 has lots of improvements besides fixing “RAAF”. I’ve just spent an hour or three getting it set up and noticed a big bunch of improvements. I’m sure there are lots more that I haven’t noticed yet. Well improvements for the Allies. I expect there are nice things for the Japs too.

There are still some weird things in it. The anoying ones I've spotted so far.

Player Defined Upgrades should very defiantly be set ON. VMF-211 is set to upgrade to F2A-3 Buffalo. There are even 8 of them left in the pool. Some other units have less drastic upgrade weirdness.

There are still some Allied units in lonely places with no or few supplies.



Thanks Again for all the work. We know that it's a labor of love - lots and Lots and LOTS of labor!

Re: Downfall
With MacArthur's opinion of Australian troops, would he had included them in the invasion of Japan?
He seemed to want to exclude them from most prominent combat areas.

Just curious if they should be excluded from this scenario.

According to British Invasion Fleets, there was an Aussie force (division?) earmarked for Coronet, in Commonwealth terms Force A, they would have left from Brunei using ships that had taken part in Op Zipper.

I'm pretty sure it was the 10th Australian Infantry Division according to 'High Command: Australia and Allied Strategy 1939–1945' by David Horner. MacArthur apparently favored having only 1 Commonwealth Division take part, but at the Potsdam conference MacArthur was pressured by Roosevelt to allow 3 Commonwealth divisions be included as part of a single corps, in the name of allied diplomacy. So the Commonwealth Corps was created, consisting of the existing British 3rd Infantry Division and newly formed/reformed 6th Canadian Infantry Division and 10th Australian Infantry division, plus two NZ brigades, but all of which would use US Army equipment in order to utilize US Army logistics, as that was MacArthur's main argument against involving the Commonwealth troops (apart from him not liking the Australians).

PS Thanks for the great Scenario Andy.

Took the liberty of going through the thread here; getting the scenarios and rehosted them at my site:

Also created scenario artwork for Buccanner, Marianas, and Downfall so they'd fit in better with stock scenarios.

Andy,
 
If I wanted to take one of your Ironman's to Dec 8 ... say Ironman allied.  What would be the easiest way to do that?  Is there an easy way? [&:]
 
Appreciate whatever insight you can share.  Thanks.
