Hi Rob don't worry the Japanese aircraft will be improved for this Admirals Edition scenario.Here is a little taster for Japanese ships already added to the database.[;)]

All new ship build list for Admirals Edition,for anyone who does not own WITP AE may I say I think you should take the plunge and get a copy,because without it you won't be able to play this massive Dreadnoughts in the Pacific scenario I'm working on,believe me when I say when its finnished it will be worth the wait,this will take about a year to complete so I'm looking at about Xmas 2013![;)]

Japanese Pre-Dreadnought Shikishima in game.

Looks great Kirk. I'll likely buy AE once your scenario is completed.

Its been a bit of time since Matrix acknowledged that there may indeed be a demand for WPO-AE after all. I would hope that they're still considering taking on the project, and letting us know one way or the other so you'd know if your valiant efforts are paralleling theirs or not. If for some reason they've decided the project is not feasible on their end, perhaps they would consider throwing their support behind yours.

Whatever Matrix is doing, not doing, considering, or haven't considered yet, it would be nice if we could get an update from them.

Hi Rob, I'm like you, I don't know if Matrix will or won't do anything,perhaps they look at it this way, I'm working on doing a mod of Admirals Edition as is,so whatever way you look at it,I will have created a new game on my own.It is a massive undertaking to do alone,but I'm happy to tackle it head on.[;)]

Gday Kirk,

I hope your project gets to fruition.

While a WITPAE player, I often come back to WPO for a break.

For those a bit wary of "micromangement" in AE, its only there if the 1000's of small units of WW2 are added. basic WPO scenario dont have the myriad of base forces, engineers, port units, AAA etc so the game is much more manageable. The game isnt massive, its the detail that can be added that makes it so.

Put more effort into the land forces, WPO seemed to take WITP units and their names, far from what real life would have had.

Re the dates, get in contact with michaelm, master programmer on the WITPAE engine and he might be able to help, at least he could provide a definative answer (I think some guys working on a Med War scenario use different dates??)

In a way its a pity Matrix didnt include a WPO scenario with AE, and I encourage you to keep bashing away at it.

This scenario will be restarted,but its a very long way from being finished at the present time.

I look forward to this mod...I do enjoy this era.

Thanks in advance for the hard work

Hope this is still going - kick ass!

Still very much a work in progress![;)]

I just remember that AE cannot start before 1941.12.7.
How does it work with scenario war plan orange during 1922-1936?

The date is faked. E.g. 1/1/1922 becomes 1/1/1942 for all visual and database purposes.

Is this still being worked on or is it dead?

Is this still being worked on or is it dead?

Sorry its taking so long to do, but the scenario is still being worked on, I'm also working on a mod for Commander The Great War. Its a massive amount of work creating these scenarios, and I'm only a one man band, doing it all![:D]

GREAT, I will follow you [X(]

Can this be downloaded somewhere?
