Hi guys what is the earliest start time allowed by the game,I mean can I create a scenario from the mid 30s ?[&:]

no

Not so sure about that....

Back in Witp days I toyed around with a scenario that started Nov 29 1941....I started KB at Etorufu (IIRC) and had it creeping across the North Pacific to arrive in position just North of PH on Dec 7th...the problem was Dec7th was always an abbreviated turn....and the magic moves kicked in...which caused KB to retrun to base...

...but those tests were with WitP I ...and they were some time ago...and now you can turn the magic moves off.

I'm in the process of altering the historical time line,I love WITP AE & I also love WAR PLAN ORANGE,since Admirals Edition is a massive improvement on what can be done in War Plan Orange,I'm moving all the Dreadnoughts,Armoured cruisers etc & all the world war 1 planes into the world war 2 time period,the reason for this is mainly due to the fact, that I don't like all the Aircraft Carriers & aircraft in the Admirals Edition,I like all the big gun Pre-Dreadnoughts,Dreadnoughts etc much better.

       The raid on Pearl still takes place,but has only the Aircraft carrier Hosho with biplanes escorted by Dreadnoughts and Armoured cruisers.All the world war 2 ship & aircraft art has been removed,and replaced with my own ship and aircraft art from the War Plan Orange era,so that all air groups and ship task forces now are using biplanes and Dreadnoughts.[8D]

Well, let us know how that works out. You probably CAN set it up, but it might not play correctly.

I know the ship side of the game works great, without any problems by adding Pre-dreadnoughts,Dreadnoughts etc because I played a dummy run by adding a load of Germanys High Seas Fleet.there is a great deal of work ahead but I think it will be worth it![:)]

I remember reading someone Joe? say that the day before Pearl Harbour was shortened to only half day or something close to that.

I'm quite sure that Dec 7th only has a day phase, my TFs only move 1/2 the distance that first day.

Here is a sample view of the ship class editor,showing the German High Seas Fleet added to Admirals Edition database.[8D]

Several game functions base there time from Dec 1941.
