I've been doing some work to try to extract the Japanese OOB and command structure for scenario 1, and can offer the results as comma separated value files that should open in a spreadsheet.

These are 'warts and all' tables - the IJN one includes 2 units that appear to be derived from the TOE section of the relevant database table; their ID's are numbered in the 2xxx range. You may need to edit out some rows. There are a couple of other oddities for which I can't account (hint: take a look at what's prepped for Lingayen)

Broadly speaking, they are structured in the following order: Command HQ -> Parent HQ -> Arrival date -> Unit Type -> Objective. They are intended as as aid to Japanese planning of the Centrifugal offensive. Wouldn't be hard to do the same for the Allied OOB if anyone's interested.

Happy for these to be re-used as people see fit - e.g. in Historiker's proposed Wiki. As an alternative to that, if it fails to take off, can we not have a stickied 'Useful Threads' thread such as that compiled by VSWG? (hope he's OK; hasn't posted since last September)

Anyway, here's the IJA OOB - a csv file with .txt extension:

...and for the IJN:

Whoops! The IJA file wasn't correctly sorted on Unit Type - due to my trying to bubble HQ's to first place, notwithstanding that AA units are given precedence in the numbering of such types. Here's a modified version correctly sorted, but putting the AA units higher up the sort order - same data, different order:

Thanks for your hard work. Very useful files.
