Oh Yes - detail! This is a sample from an World War II ONI publication, now available on CD. This group (and many similar vessels) will be part of the scenario as the Kawasaki Stock Boat as they were built to a design of the Kawasaki yard (around the end of World War I).

Guys, does this CD also have detail about where these Marus were sunk(those that were sunk),
and what armament/enemy force did them in?

Hi all,

My latest should be at Spookys but that is two months old.
I am working on an updated scenario as we speak, although i won't have cool Marus in it. I don't have much detailed info on the Japanese merchant marine like Don does.

Hopefully, if Don and Tankerace are okay with this we can provide a combined scenario or three. I would like to at least do an (improved) stock and a semi historical(No Yamatos) scenario.

It is there. I checked on it the other day after the 6th request for your mod. It is still playable using the 1.4 patch. I have had no problems with it so far anyway.

It may be 2 months old, but it is the better version out there IMO. Have not tangled with any of the others anyway.

No Sir - it is a copy of an ONI recognition manual for Japanese Merchant Ships, intended to allow pilots and sub commanders to know what they about to attack. This is the 1944 update, there is also a 1942 version. They are $30.00 each so I just got one (the 1944 had twice as many pages). I guess I may be missing confirmed early war losses, but the data in this one CD is probably more than I can handle anyway.
