BigB Mod 1.40 - AB Std vs Stock

[Falken]

Hi,

Quick question, I am currently using BigB Mod 1.40 Sc192 using AB Extended Map.
Since i'm playing against AI, wanted to try to play w/AB Standard Map 6.3 (i.e. no Aden, no Panama).

However, the detail notes in 1.40 indicate that Sc190 is only for Stock.
Is it safe to use 1.40 Sc190 w/AB Standard Map 6.3 or is there something about the map that will cause problems?

Thanks.

Hi,
No [:(], you can't use the two AB Extended Map scenarios with AB's regular map - no Panama, no Aden. The scenario must use those bases.

The two stock map scenarios are just that - made for stock (or subchaser's map, or any other stock map mod).

Hi BigB,

Sorry, i must have not explained myself properly.

Andrew has a Standard Map that doesn't include Aden or Panama. Can that one be played w/Sc190 Stock (i.e. w/Andrew's Standard Map, not the extended one....)

Thanks again.

Hi,

Ok, no - Andrew's standard map won't work on the standard map scenarios 190 & 191, because Andrew's Standard Map (which is a beauty) has corrected many distances and locations - and therefore location coordinates differ from stock. If you superimposed the two you would see Pearl Harbor located in the middle of an all-sea hex for example.

So for the scenario to work, you must use the stock map or equivalent for scenarios 190 &191, or the AB extended map for scenarios 192 & 193...otherwise things won't be where they are supposed to be.

Thanks BigB.

That's exactly what I was looking for. As per your suggestion, maybe I'll try SubChaser's map.

You might have noticed that everytime I post, I mention your Mod. I have tried CHS, RHS, and a few others, but for me at least, yours can't be beat. It is really well done. I've hit no issues w/1.31 or 1.40.

I know that it's totally personal preference, and I don't want to anger anyone with my constant referral to BigB's mod, but I really do love the thing.

Thanks again for your help.

Well thank you,

I want everyone to know that I did not pay this man to say that (...I'll leave the unmarked envelope in the same place...shhh) [:D]
