Has any added more of the french fleet to the database

I would like to use Skylands excellent MOD but add french ships that fought at Mers el kebir and Dakar to the french force mix

Before i go to all the effort of editing these ships in i was wondering if any one had already done so and is willing to share the database/scenario ?

Reluctant Admiral v6.0 is going to have some of them. Check the tail end of the RA development thread for details: tm.asp?m=3280555

I have made some additionnals ships for RA 6.0 and others. If you send me your shopping list i will check what is available.

ok thanks , I had a look at the RA 6.0 feed,

i was hoping for many more french ships and even better starting with the french/that positions as per the war options mod.

thanks for the pointer though RA is looking like a very interesting MOD

i want to start a new campaign game and am looking for 'whats best for me' before comiting to the months of play
Ideally id be keen on adding all the ships scuttled at Toulon,yes i know thats a massive stretch for historical accuracy, buti most enjoy the 'what if' type scenarios

cheers

Hi,

All those ships are available in RA (see ship classes in editor).
Exceptions are Jaguar and Mogador class. I have started to work on them but will need some time to finish.
