DaBigBabes Beta errata

[noguaranteeofsanity]

Its not a bug, its the carrier capacity. In my game Yorktown and the other carriers had just engaged some IJN escort carriers and lost some SBDs, which left the room for VF-71 to expand to its full complement of 36 aircraft. But my SBD squadrons are now understrength and won't take any further replacements. Seems the squadrons on a carrier will only take replacements, up until roughly 110 percent of its capacity, or 81-82 aircraft for the Wasp.

30 fighters + 36 dive bombers + 15 torpedo bombers = 81 aircraft, or in my case, 36 fighters + 31 dive bombers + 15 torpedo bombers = 82 aircraft.

Babes and BabesLite have both been updated: Babes to v04, BabesLite to v07. Includes enhancements to AAA.

Eff and Acc values tweaked for Device Type = 12 AA Gun, for both land and sea based AA Guns. Eff and Acc values tweaked for land based (ONLY) Device Type = 17 DP Gun. Ship based DP guns untouched because of the data value conflict with Naval Combat mode.

And yes, if you want to use the new AAA values in an ongoing game, I think it's possible to update the savegame with data from Device, Aircraft, ToE, Class; michaelm added the capability. So go shoot down more airplanes.

Still poking about DaBigBabes backwaters.

At Osaka I found a pair of Type N TL tankers capable of conversion to Tonan Maru-type whale factory ships. This used to be possible in stock and became the subject of a post I made some time ago about what could be done with these ships. As a result I think this particular conversion was taken out of the Scen. 1 database - is its retention in Big Babes inadvertent?

Yes. Recall you mentioned this before, but probably had a brain fart. Will fix. Thanks.

Hi

In the scenario exist the japanese 1st, 2nd and 5th Raiding Force. In some sources about the Japanese OOB of the 32nd Army on Okinawa listed the 3rd and 4th Japanese Commando Units. Are these mayby not the 3rd and 4th Raiding Force units?


There are the following Dutch OOB errors.

1. The KNIL Mariener Brigade must be Mariniers Brigade and is not a KNIL unit. The men of this unit came for a part of Dutch volunteers from the whole world with the most from US/Canada/West Indies and the UK. And part from the Netherlands.

2. The 1st KNIL (T) Brigade must be T Brigade and is also not a KNIL unit. It's raised in the Netherland from Dutch Volunteers.

3. I miss Korps Insuline a Dutch para-trained commando unit raised from volunteers from the Princess Irene brigade in 1942 on Ceylon. Raised 16 May 1942 as NSO renamed 01-08-1942 in Korps Insuline in Laksapatiya Colombo. In 1945 the strength is increased from about 1 company to more then 2 companies. From 1946 it's reinforced with the 1st Para Commando company and renamed in the Para-Commando Battle Group.

4. Some KNIL battalions who are raised.
KNIL I - Raised 01-06-1944 "Victoria Camp" Australia - 04-10-1945 Batavia
KNIL II - Raised 08-1945 Balikpapan - 16-10-1945 Batavia
KNIL III - ?
KNIL IV - Raised 09-1945 Singapore - 08-10-1945 Batavia
KNIL V - Raised 02-11-1945 Tjihapitkamp""
KNIL VI - Raised 15-04-1946 Medan

The Mariniers Brigade is raised in the US and where trained bij the USMC and the subunits have also the same TO&E as the USMC. The only difference is that they are Dutch Marines

2. The 1st KNIL (T) Brigade must be T Brigade and is also not a KNIL unit. It's raised in the Netherland from Dutch Volunteers.

The T brigade is trained by the British and had also the same TO&E as a British Infantry Brigade. Only the men where Dutch from the Netherlands.

Here some arrival dates of Dutch Brigades in the NEI. They where all raised in the Netherlands with volunteers. And had the British TO&E
V-Brigade 27-01-1946 Malacca - 29-03-1946 Batavia
W-Brigade 15-02-1946 Malacca - 30-03-1946 Batavia
X-Briagde 23-02-1946 Malacca - 29-03-1946 Soerabaja
U-Brigade 01-03-1946 Batavia

Well hi there Jo, you crazy Dutchman. So what's got you verward in uw onderbroek, broer? There's not too many early war Dutch HQs we can assign these folks to, so there's not a lot we can do with them. If you were thinking of just getting rid of "KNIL" in the name, that's an easy thing, but assignment to Nationality and operational HQs depends on what's available in-game. There's some Dutchness on the Babes team, and I know that MO would bust his broekie to make it right. If you have any suggestions, you have only to ask.

1946 is getting real close to our scenario cut-off date. Could be fun for a Downfall time-frame scenario. Will keep in mind.

Ja, ik dacht om voor deze formaties het woord KNIL te verwijderen.

Because the Mariniers are from the Dutch Navy or Koninklijke Marine. The Dutch goverment had the Dutch warships in the war operational attached to the Royal Navy, except the warships in the NEI. Only after the Japanese attack/occupation of the NEI are the remants of the warships also attached to the Royal Navy.

I like only KNIL in the name for the Dutch KNIL unita.

You are right, especially when slang, colloquialisms and abbreviations are heavily used. I used to correspond with a group of gamers from Brazil, man sometimes I missed 80 % of the discussion. They did it on purpose I just know it ! [:)]
