Hey folks!

I made an alternate history scenario mod for AE called Iron Storm ages and ages ago - it must have been 2006. Here's a long-ass pastebin of the original story page, but a shorter version is this: Some of the interwar battlecruisers cancelled in the 20s are built, Japan has a better-thought-out navy (no Yamatos, more carriers, etc), and the UK knocks Italy out of the war in 1941, freeing up lots of Commonwealth troops, ships and planes to defend Malaya.

After most of a decade, my interest is pivoting back towards WitP again, and I'd like to rebuild it with some changes for the modern game. I've done some work so far, but I don't have my original files - the sites hosting them (principally RogueUSMC's) are down, and I have no remaining copies (having gone through far too many hard drives in the interval).

So: It's a long shot, but I suspect if anyone still has the files kicking around, it'd be the people on this subforum.

In particular, I'm looking for a file called "IS_v2.BETA.zip". Let me know if you find it! I'm reconstructing the scenario from my notes, but this would make things much easier.

I also need some help with shipsides and other things if anyone's interested.

e: if a backup of RogueUSMC's site exists somewhere (or the files it hosted) that would work too. The former url: http://witp.tylerroguedesigns.com/image ... 2_BETA.zip

I played your mod several years ago ( with an AAR even ). I don't know if i have some files yet, but will advise you if I found them.

Thanks traskott. It'd be greatly appreciated. [&o]

Your original version for WITP was my first PBEM (against OneEyedJack). [&o] It brings back fond memories....Boise destroying a whole Amphib TF!! [:D]

Look up and downloading Treaty and Between The Storms Mods along with those done by JuanG will shorten your work on warships.

I'll be looking forward to your mod when it comes out.

You are still listed on the credits for RA as well. How is LIFE??!! Hope you are well and it is DAMNED good to see you Posting again.

Hear! Hear! Great to see you back into the swing of things Alikchi! [:)]

Sorry, no files, only the word doc with the AAR .

Thanks guys! Good to see yall again [:)]

The Boise was too powerful. I think Alikchi gave it 16" guns or something.... Hey Alikchi, If'n you're gunna redo Iron Storm then first of all, I wanna copy, and second of all, you should seriously consider toning down the Boise... (I hate that ship!)

[;)]

PS - welcome back!

I would kinda like to see this mod myself.

Thanks for the support guys!

I've yet to receive any leads on the files, but I dug up one of the earlier versions, which helps a bit.

I'm considering breaking it up into a bunch of mods, since I have a clean start. All will have the additional battlecruisers, but here's the general idea:

Scen 50: Everything (IJN changes, Commonwealth changes, misc changes)
Scen 51: Commonwealth (Italy out of the war, lots of RN and RAF & army reinforcements to Malaya, etc)
Scen 52: IJN (just Alt_Naval's improved IJN, no balancing changes)
Scen 53: Misc (The new battlecruisers, plus some fun toys and tweaks (Floatfires, Surcouf, etc)

All this depends on how easy it is to copy & paste data with the editor, of course...

I like scenario 52. I think I still have a bunch of ship art I made for the Alt Naval fleet laying around somewhere if you need it.

Yep, found the Alt_Naval art for the IJN.

Preview. Let me know if you need it. [:)]

Holy smokes. That's fantastic! Yes, I do need it! [:D]

Here they are zipped up on backgrounds... [:)]

Thanks gary. I downloaded it too. I'm collecting stuff for a future mod....GP

Sure thing General Patton. If you need stats for the ships, PM me your email and I can send you a saved set of webpages with all the stats from the original creator of the Alt_Naval website. [:)]

Making decent progress with a pure alt_naval scenario based on Hakko Ichiu now [:)]

On the way....GP

How easy IS it to paste data from the editor? I haven't figured out a way to copy and paste data from one scenario to another, and have had to type everything in manually for my "Mers-el-Kebir Accords" scenario.

That's pretty much done by the way - I'll send the scenario to you if you're interested.
