Are you and your team going to make the OOB of the new Nationility available for the Generated Battle mode in all three edition in Patch 103. I would like that very much!

I also would like to see more campaigns available for RS since it has so much fewer campaigns and seceneries than the othe two editions.

There are more improvements that I would like to see but these are the most urgent to since this was my main reason I bought this program.


Thank you!

If not for 1.03, then definitely for 1.04 - it depends on the programmers priorities. I would do it myself, but I have no clue how to do so - yet.

How about a list of the type of linked campaigns and scenarios that you would like to see?

Jason Petho Thank you for answering my questions so prompt!

1.I would like to see a Manchuria DC campaign 1945 from the Russian and Japanese point of view. We would need Manchurian Troops. I would take Japanese troops only if takes a of time in developing a OOB for the Manchurian units. 

2. Nomoham 1939 from both sides.

3.The DCG campaign of the Invation of China 1937 to 1945 from the Chinese and Japanese side. This has not been done by any Sim or Strategical program any where.

4.Burma 1943-1945 from both sides.

5.Hypothetical liberation of Signapore by the British 1946.

6.Hypothetical Invation of Japan by the Russians 1945-46.

7.Maybe some scenerios representing the Red Chinese fighting the National Chinese Army during the War..

8.The Invation of Indonesia 1942 from both sides.

9.The Invation of Signapore by both sides 1942.

10. The Invation of Iwo Jima and Okinawa from both sides.

I'am sorry for placing so many request but there is much missing in the Rising Sun edition compare to the other two edition. I believe this will help the campaign series by a whole lot. This will help this series represent WWII better.

I do not care if they are Link or Dynamic campaings. As a matter of fact I favor the Dynamic campaign slightly more. It seems they are a bit easier to produce.

Thank you!

What about the Chindits 1942 and the1944 campaigns.

Merril Marauders under Stilwell 1944 in Nothern Burma.

Excellent list, Miamieagle! This will provide something to go by as the Pacific Theatre is certainly not my strong suit.

Thank you muchly!

Let me just add my request for more scenarios or Linked Campaigns involveing Japanesse vs. Chinese forces.  I am not that familier with that history, but I believe there should be some intersting options.
Thanks,

Any time Jason Patho, as you can see I do care about this program. I love World war two history in General and not just the Pacific Theater. I just would like other People to enjoy this program as much as I do. It will not reach its potential untill the Pacific Theater is completeted. Lets remember that it included most of the World and not just part of it. Its the attack of Pearl Harbor that really made it a World war. Before that it was mostly a a European war. Now when you include the Eurpean and Pacific Theater war together its when World war two becomes truely facinating. Thats when its diversity and political complexity that facinates us up today chines. Now you can get as diverse Battles like the Battle of Western Europe 1940 and Battle of Britain plus the Invation of China 1937-1945 and Babarrossa and Pearl Habor. The great Japanese expantion throught the Pacific in 1941-1942. The Battle of Coral Sea and Midway. Stalingrad and the struggle for Guadacanal, Tobruk and and the central Solomon campaign. New Guinea and El Alamein not to mention Tarawa and many diverse but very important Battles. What I'am trying to convey in this post is how important both Theaters where. It was truely a World war and I hope to God the Last one.

Isn't Dogovich the moderator who prefers to focus on the Pacific War (1931-1945)?  Is he still a resource? 
 
I think I read somewhere ("The Rape of Nanking" perhaps) that the Chinese lost 22 million fighting the Japanese and themselves.  I read a book ("The Pacific War 1931-1945" I believe was its name) by a Japanese author (Ienega or Ianega) that provided a brief but good overview of the entire period.  One of the things he noted was the absence of a common name for the period.  He called it the Pacific War but acknowledged that name didn't fit very well.  I think he said some Japanese refer to it as the Fifteen-Year War.  While the Japanese were fighting the Chinese, I don't believe the Japanese even referred to it as a war at all but, rather, as the Chinese incident.
 
There could also be a what-if scenario where the Japanese renege on the nonagression pact with the Soviet Union and strike the Soviets in the fall of 1941 instead of the Americans, British, and Dutch in December 1941.

Absolutely he is, one of the primary resources. There is also asiaticus, the other moderator, who enjoys the Pacific theatre. Unfortunately, they have been swamped with everything else we have happening behind the scenes.
