It certainly looks good. I really haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I like what you've done with the place.

Andy: I am not suggesting this for the present Ironman iteration (which I await breathlessly!) but should more 'Japanese AI advantages' be needed in later stages. I mentioned this elsewhere but to put it simply "The Army and Navy heal their differences over aircraft armament in the name of efficiency. They agree that the Army models of 20mm cannon and the Navy models of HMG would be used from xxx on" [from the first new sub-models in mid 1942?].
Keep up any work you do - it qualifies as useful genius!

The main purpose of the Ironman mod is to accept that the AI will pull the odd moronic move so to allow a little more slack for it and adding a lot more escorts that will allwo the Ai to escort stuff better.
Also prepositioned some LCU's in some of the palces the AI has difficulty with in general trying to give you the best possible game is all

Thanks Che as a harder version of the hard scnenario it might be worth including it in the patch.
Albeit only as a v Jap AI scenerio

Yup we may be able to get them to includ it in patch 1 as a pure ahistorical fantasy v the Jap AI scenario makes it easier for me to maintain then

I hope they do officially include it. It would be nice to have an official advanced AI mod that way we don't have someone popping in and starting a dozen or so threads a day about thier own mod to make it look like the official one. You know like we had when good old CHS was overrun by swarms of threads started (name withheld) posting about his mod. [:D]

Apologies if already covered but have you thought of 'inserting' the ten or so escorts of the Enoki and Momi classes that were sold out before the start of the war. Certainly as far as I know their removal was not made known to, or discovered by the Allied powers.

Andy,
This may be a dumb question, but will this mod incorporate any OOB changes? What I mean is the typo's that have been found, incorrect data, etc in the OOB that are being fixed. Will these fixes be incorporated into this mod.
I can't have NM class battle ships cruising at 1 hex per turn [:D]
By the way, I think this mod sounds great.
Keep up the good work.
Todd

Yes I used the patched version of scen 2 as the baseline so it should have most of the corrections.

I too think that this should for sure be included as an 'official' scenario. If not included in patch 1, then a later one.

I think it will go in as a purely v Jap AI scneario to patch 1 stil being debated but its a maybe at present.
p.s. I am back in Glasgow for the weekend so I wont be about to answer questions much

You've probably noticed this already but the subs and a few of the ships, mostly APDs, start with no fuel.

Andy,
You are probably busy with AI tweaks and the patch, but is their any more news or headway on this mod? If it's "finished" I'd love a copy!
thanks,

I think it will make the patch so I will probably hold off sending it out for now as I am still tweaking it

I have a first cut that I am testing I will need to find a shed load of Japanese ship names but the AI improvement is noticable (albeit based on total fiction)
John is digging me out some ship names but if anyone has any suggestions lemme have them I need to find about 50 escort type ship names.
After I get the first patch naval/air/land amendments it should be good to go. it will 100% not be for PBEM as the Ai is getting muchos extra resources !!!!
I am avoiding outright cheats for the Japanese
Well, there's always the unused name from Admiral Furashita's Fleet - the IJNS Scruyu....[:D]
I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself... I'm bad..
