New 'Long Scenario' for testing NF 12.6 The Longest Battle

Thanks - I'll put that on my fix list.

One more - check ready timing on VP-90 at Glenview message announcing ready appears on March 3, but squadrons are still 24 hours to ready.

Now about 2.5 weeks into scenario.
Issues:
FFG Barbey also reports in as Biologic.
Have only received 5 points for merchant ship unload (couldn't tell which site), I have had the military convoys docked at Charleston for more than 2 days, and container ship convoys sitting at Biscay, Channel, and Chesapeake unload areas for more than 3 days.

Questions:
Why would USS Victorious be south of Capetown? Seems an odd starting position.
A warning about the possible loadouts for the P-3Bs would be useful - took a while to realize the Mk 46 mod 2 torpedoes needed to make an effective ASW loadout are at Jacksonville, Roosevelt Roads, and Bermuda - hint to keep them in a rear area?
I am keeping hour by hour notes on what is happening - its too dry to call an AAR - let me know if you want it uploaded.

One thing found - Triggers for TAO/TAK/TAKR were all for merchant ship types not the military merchant types. Will see if that fixes part of the above.

USS Victorious

RSMC - Although the T-AGOS have a wartime role of deep ASW, they also have a role for oceanographic research, and the Antarctic is ideal for that in the southern summer. That's why I put her there, and who knows, she might be useful.

If you would like to PM me with your notes that would be great. This is a beast of a scenario and I built it when Lua was more limited and my understanding of how to use Lua was very limited. So I will eventually get back to fixing it up. You're comments will be helpful.

Can we get some more air to ground weapons for the SAAF buccaneers. Impala 2s could be a useful patrol aircraft with a bit of firepower if it finds a target also wouldn't mind a few F1s but if you didn't add fighters then they won't come under attack (or will they?). (SAAF Alouette III isn't in the database! I want my K car!)
