I need to specify that my mod is being processed in the latest official version of 1.7.11.24.
I'm currently evaluating the suitability to upgrade to version 1.8.11.26 (a or b ??)

Do you model/plan to model the countries that switched sides midwar in the allied OOB?

I mean Italy, Romania and Bulgaria?

Partially yes. It is planned.
At least in Italy, it is now under development. After the surrender of Italy, RSI will be created in the north.
And in the south (it is necessary to occupy Palermo allies) west allies.

It does not have the final state yet. I still improve and finish.

Bulgaria and Romania are still part of this mode (temporally and partly geographically), and their change to state allies is technically problematic. So here ...

I want to download the mod but I am unable from the links that you provided, could you please reupload them? Thanks [:)]

I write it in earlier posts.
Each upload has 33 days of life.

But I'm just ahead of WitM 2.2. Please wait a few days and it will be released. Dali

Ok, thanks you

How were you able to address the issue of personal names? Many names are editable in the scenario files, but the engine has to generate a lot of new ones as the game progresses, in particular pilot replacements. I'd asked about modding those once, and was told they are hardcoded - were you able to solve that?

I will respond in detail to you in the mail.

WitM 2.2

I will write details later. Dali

WitM ver 2.2
What's new....

The version primarily focused on scenario 27.
Scenario 26 remained almost unchanged.

Scenario 27 has a slightly enlarged map. The scope is similar to the previous version.
In addition, it includes the Balkan battlefield and the fight of NLYA units. It's a little experimental, but it's already tested and functional.
The AI scenario is further enhanced. There are many minor and more significant changes to the experience of the ongoing PBEM game.

There is a date for the game, the number of turn is 580. It can be played all year 1944 and occupy Italy.

As always, many details are not complete .....

Small upgrade version 2.2.
Fix some parameters and add HEX ON graphical files.

I recommend applying.

If the map is enlarged so to equal 20 miles per hex (BTW a brilliant solution), and ships speed doubled accordingly to adequate, "speed" of LCUs has remained calibrated for 40 miles hex, right? Meaning they are "slower" here, isn't it?

I have been playing with Dali, the author of this scenario, yes and ship range is also increased to double. But the naval combat results make this increase of speed problematic in my opinion. Submarines are not very efficient with ships speeds as they are - maybe doubling torpedo accuracy or speed will improve it. As it is ship speed in my opinion is not warranted and gives more problems than it fixes. Yes, remaining has they are it turns ship slower but for the closed confines of Mediterranean makes possible what happened historically several attacks per day against shipping.

The issue with land units speed exist and only somewhat can be offset making better roads. Since it is said that land combat tempo is considered too fast by some experts maybe the issue is not so bad, but i don't have an opinion yet.

It is what is possible with constraints. Of course Dali would have his opinion, hope he have time to post them.
