Hi John,

Hit a speed bump on the plane work. have to do interactions with bomber operational ceilings. Think best thing for me to do is just finish the project in Babes context (with all the data changes in red in the spreadsheets) and do a manual port into your RA Airplane file and send you a final copy. You can see most of the new stuff in the Babes spreadsheets and I'll try my best to remember how I extrapolated to any of your (shall we say, interesting) [;)] alternatives.

Sorry 'bout this. JWE

Just fired up an R6 Allies vs. AI game. Two things in my first few hours of observation.

The art for Charlottesville is not showing up. It does for the new French ships. What did I miss?

The AI, so far, is incredibly weak. I’m into January & I still hold most of Malaysia. And I have all my units in Singapore. Hong Kong still stands. Wake is still mine, as the AI only tried to take it with a small unit on 2 PB’s. Sothern Borneo remains uncontested, as does everything south of it. Same with Sumatra and the Celebes. Rabaul is still uncontested.

I realize this game is already toast, I’m just playing for a few game months to see what else happens. In RA 4.6 the AI was a LOT more aggressive. I am not sure what changes impacted what with this regard.

Algerie - authorized in 1930, this vessel was the last and best French 'treaty' cruiser, and one of the most outstanding examples of the type in any navy. A radical departure from the widely criticized 'tin-clad' heavy cruisers, she was built in response to the Italian Zara class. Armor weight totaled 2657 tons compared with 1553 tons in the preceding Dupleix class and it was better distributed; emphasis was placed on protection against aerial bombs and underwater attack, an extensive torpedo bulkhead being separated from the main belt by oil and coal(?) bunkers.

Strange that a cruiser designed in 1929/30 would have coal bunkers.

Algerie got buffed up some due to comments from the playtesters. She is oil-fired in 1941.

Hey Skyland! Just how much do the French BBQ? [:'(]

You've got to like having some of your Frenchies in the Mod...

No coal or coal bunkers on Algerie. Except may be for BBQ.

Bake Island (ID 607) shows up as AF, not Base. Thus, you cannot build up the port.

Tom (Mr Kane) upgraded data base to 6.2 and I still DON'T have any aircraft on CVB Midway or FDR. [X(]
