A few issues/questions

[JamesM]

HS,

A few things with manual/game:

The original manual came with a well written brief history of the air war, are you able to include this as a pdf download?
The original manual listed different allied aircraft replacement for 43 and 44 (I noticed in manual that came with the game A number of allied aircraft had a replacement rate of 0), is this the case in this version? If so are they the same or different?
Are the allied aircraft arrival dates the same as the original game?

I just dug up my original BTR manual, here is the 1944 list in it (Says effective 1 January 1944, though IIRC, some still had later arrival dates...) The list in the manual of this version matches the list in the old BTR manual, so presumably it is at least close. [;)]

We didn't just change the replacement rates, we changed the dates and models as well, so that list is useless. Ron will have to give up the full details, as I just don't know, but the coding I did allowed for separate replacement rates for 43, 44 & 45 (yeah, and 40 & 41, but they are stored different) but also for end dates, so some models will stop coming, some even only get built for one or two months. We made so many changes to the OB format it is impossible to show every detail in game.
