Michael,

The 56th and 37 Soviet motorized divisions both have 43 motorized squads, 600 trucks and about 100 AC and light tanks. Should these two units have the same mobility as an armored or mech unit? As it is now they are classified as infantry divisions and are no more mobile than any vanilla infantry unit.

I absolutely love the ability to transfer 5/10 pilots at a time. Probably saves me 10 minutes a turn.

Here's another few ideas for air related time-saving features:

1. The default for rebasing should be "select on map". I.e., when you hit rebase, it should automatically bring up the map instead of a list of bases. I don't know if I've ever selected a base from the list, and I certainly wouldn't miss it if you could only select the base on the map. Saves a click every time you transfer air units.
2. It would be really nice (although maybe harder to do) to have a way to transfer ALL air units at a base to another base at the same time. Often I have 10+ air units at a base going to a single other base. Or maybe all fighters/bombers, etc.
3. It would be nice if you could set ALL bombers (including TB/DB/LB) to the same mission (instead of just one of these).
4. Similarly, it would be nice if you could set all fighters/fighter bombers/floatfighters to the same mission (instead of just one of these).
5. Whenever air units are flying either night missions or Kamikazes, you have to set each unit's mission individually (the "set all" fighters, bombers, etc. dosen't work for these). I would be ok if they flew the same mission as the day units with a single click for "set all figthers/bombers".

objection! re-basing through the base screen is the only way unless your on a part of the map where your geography skills are....weaker. When you become familiar with the bases the menu will reward you with support,size, etc. This is critical when playing the shell game and staging larger raids IMO. If you had a button to transfer all squadrons at once, very rare, you could make a huge whooops. newb 2 cents.

newb question: Can you change the weather pref once engaged in PBEM (ie can the Japanese player effect this) or are we "stuck with what we got"?
newb request: eventually.............a new, revised PDF game manual?
newb comment: I can not begin to express my awe at the level of service to the game and the community here.[&o]
newb 3rd cent: Pax, is there more to that Avatar? huh?huh?huh?

Replaces the quick patch. Some subtle changes, mainly with the player aircraft upgrades.

Tweak Allow Army list filters to be passed to Draw Army screen for next/prev army [MEM]
The next and previous buttons on the LCU screen are the only ones affected by the earlier list filters.

I suspect this needs to be posted in the Land Thread rather than here ....

I thought that michaelm was the only one working on the game at this point but I will defer to him here. Should this go to the land thread?

In the "Form Task Force" screen, I sometimes miss a "Supress ships in task forces" button (similar to the "Suppress ships not due to upgrade" button), so only ships disbanded in port will be displayed in the "from" window (upper half).

Could be useful when creating a new TF in a port with big TFs present (e.g Osaka, San Francisco) - which may require a lot of scrolling to get at the ships disbanded in port.
