Communication established with Pclem :-)

On other news communications with the rest of the authors has started again after Christmas and it seems like all are alive and well (except me. I quit tobacco so I feel more less dying. [:@]). Expect some screenshots in the close future. [:D]

I don't want to be a party pooper and you guys are really doing some fantastic work on these but........is this causing the game to be delayed in anyway?

Nope. I read them all, but that's about it for my involvement.

This is one of the few items I can delegate to others and not worry about. Back in 2005 I wrote the code for displaying these on one of the player interface forms (Unit Review) for the air units. Later I cloned that code to handle the naval and land units. I also added some formatting codes to make them look nicer but all the formatting code already existed to display text for tutorials and context sensitive help (e.g., for the optional rules). This is just glitz which doesn't interact/affect game play at all. Nor does it interact with Internet, PBEM, AIO, etc..

At this point I simply point new volunteers to either Capitan (Land) or Terje (Naval).

Hi,
it says "rearmed with Tiger Tanks (PzIIIN and PZIVG) in 1942". Thats gotta be a typo, as the two types are not tigers and the very first Tigers came in late 1942, but not to "minor Allies", (but independent battalions, as far as I can remember).

It's probably "German tanks" or something.

It is a valid question of course but as Steve said he is out of the production on these nowadays.

I believe that the write-ups do add a dimension to the game that will be much appreciated. If not then I am at least having a blast learning all kinds of stuff :-)

Good catch. Just double checked my scources to make sure that I had the correct year and the mistake is mine. I'll correct. Thankyou.

Yes. There are both land and naval units that need writeups.

If you would like to help, ...

For land units, send a personal message (PM) to Capitan, for naval, send a PM to Terje439.

Very nice, indeed. You asked for comments, these are all about English grammar:

- one of the ... consequences
- ... which consisted
- B Army was renamed
- .. characteristic was that
- it started incorporating
- ... lack of landing ships made this impossible and it wasn't until the 15th of August 1944 that it happened.
- After much fighting

As for the content of the writeup, it is excellent with nice detail and well balanced with a supporting overview of the context of operations overall within which the unit acted. Thank you for your fine contribution.
