Before we hand out the awards, if there is a way to test the CD's when the US invades in 43/45. Early war invasions are a bit bias to the japanese because of the amphib bonus.
A test mod of the Mariana's scenario might work well for that. But then we haven't heard any complaints on this front from people playing that scenario.
For John Lansford:
I forgot to mention that at the end of the second day there were 845 mines left. So, 121 mines mostly swept the hard way. My thinking is that the appearance of my tiny TF's caused the amphibs to maneuver into zones not already "cleared" by their sister ships. Maybe more steely TF commanders for the invasion fleets would have stayed on station.
Would it help if i mentioned that at this moment there are no plans to overhaul CD's?
I certainly see no reason for going into the code given the mistake I made editing the existing CD to begin with. Just giving it a top commander and/or increased prep points seemed to make rather a large difference in the number of shots fired and ships engaged.
Or maybe I just got better dice rolls. [;)]
People that have strong feelings about this topic might be better off agreeing to a minor mod of the prep points for specific and agreed CD's for their PBEM's before tying their hands with house rules. Then they just have to remember to see who is commanding the CD before the bad guys show up.
