[JeffroK]

A  history of 7th Air Force for the period (also covers the Marshalls)

Need to add a detachment of 6 x P-61 from 6th Night Fighter Sqn.

Needs a a little work to get it close probably about another 50 allied ships to add (mostly DD's and replenishment stuff)

But say about another week and it will be playable PBEM

Thanks andy ,timing seems perfect, as by then my current PBEM scenario will most likely be over and we'll be looking for a bigger one before starting on the beast (GC). wish i could contribute something more to help apart from a friendly smile [;)]

Cool... who's your opponent?

[Andy Mac]

[:D][:D] I got two going 1 v Sting and 1 v PZB looking forward to them both with some trepidation

[bradfordkay]

Good luck with that... Sorry about stealing away your old opponent... at least I think that you used to have a PBEM with Chez.

[Andy Mac]

OK back at it and seeing where I end up putting int he last few allied ships

[Andy Mac]

I did and may again at some stage after I get into these games i will have more capacity but 2 is my limit for a few months

[bradfordkay]

One PBEM is my max... no time for more than that (though Chez may wish that I would spread myself thinner!).

[oldman45]

This looks like its going to be a great scenerio

[Andy Mac]

OK updated scenario save posted now hgas I think all the Ships and LCU's in I need to revisit bases and AI check ships are all upgraded and then either bodge air or nag Thomas [:D][:D][:D]

Check out the save and let me know anything that looks wrong

Andy,

I'm looking forward to this scenario; I lived on Guam and Saipan for a period of about 2 years, so I consider these places my back yard!


VVV

[Andy Mac]

OK its looking good all I need to do now is air and device replacement values - Japanese I assume should be none and for the Marines they should get an up front lump as its a two month scenario
 
Now VP's I assume I need to encourage the historical attacks so give the VP's for taking the three main islands.
 
There are 4 basic Allied Objectiives
 
1. Guam
2. Saipan
3. Tinian
4. Avoid attritional or large fleet losses (if they can kick KB along the way so much the better but the real objective is not to take losses that prejusdice future ops)
 
There are 4 basic Japanese Objectiives
 
1. Guam
2. Saipan
3. Tinian
4. Keep fleet in being while attriting allied fleet
 
I think 'victory' for the allies should be defined as Saipan + one of Guam or Tinian captured with minimal ship losses
 
I will try to balance VP's accordingly.

Has anyone had a look yet keen to get any feedback available ?

[JeffroK]

Couldnt open it Andy, got a zip folder but the next file wasnt a .dat file?

I'll try again tonight.

(I am a Luddite, could be that I'm the problem)

[Andy Mac]

Its a save file not a scen file at present its easier to just save turn 1 in a head to head game at present until its built better
