Hi, I have a 6 episode MP match with Elessar scheduled for YT. This version of the mod was recorded in Dec 2021 just after patch version 12.0.00 was done. Going further into the match we realized that there was going to be a problem with the NM hit frequency for the Americans (This mod has 2 week turns-26 per year as opposed to WaW which as 13 turns). This is being fixed by Elessar...and this short series is unaffected till a climatic air and sea battle occurs on March 7, 1942 off the Gilbert Islands.
Anyways enjoy! Here's a link to the announcement and the start of the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZmYCauNCQE

I had already covered this in a short AAR as it happened several months ago:

This AAR is more for heuristic value and how certain game engine design decisions allows for more expanded operational movement and thus options by the IJN.

One thing I can adjust for is the relatively large National Morale bonuses/penalties: they will likely be halved across the board, and as per the Icarus WWI mod the Allies will be able to recover NM if/when they retake certain key locations. Alas I cannot alter the base coded algorithms which affect combat effectiveness (if you recall the earlier AAR I ran into issues with the USN being very ineffective when their NM fell too low).
