Matrix Games Forums

I thought it was time to revise my Midway Occured UV scenario since Matrix seems to be finished patching the Game. In the past, because of hardcoding issues, any patch to the game would result in problems in a Scenario created with previous versions of the Game.

The version on Spooky`s UV fan site is two years old and will not work with recent UV versions.

These problems were usually ships with different or missing weapons or mounts, and sometimes ships not appearing. This Beta Version, which I have played through June 30 1942 seems OK, but I thought I would make it available as a Beta for anyone who wanted to try it.

This is the full Scenario 17 Campaign Scenario, changed into a actual historical scenario revised to reflect the loss of the four Japanese Fleet Carriers and the Yorktown at Midway.

You can now play the actual Battle of the Coral Sea with the units that fought it.

I`ll be happy to send the Zip file to any who are interested, PM or post here.

Please read the Zipped text file for more details. The files should be unzipped into the UV SCEN Folder and Scenario #25 selected. I welcome comments or ideas for improvements here or through PM.

Note: The credit for showing how to use the UV Editor to edit the shipped Scenario 17 to create a historical Scenario goes to Rich Dionne, I just tried to make it all come together.

Is there going to be a Spooky fan site for WITP???
Spooky your efforts have been invaluable to our ability to learn this game at
a reasonable pace. and I recommend this site to all the new guy's
who are going thru the time tested ship sinking frustration we all have gone thru.

Thanks man [;)]

Yep, a WITP section is going to be launched in the next days (as soon as I get something to post !).

Well for any interested, I'll be having a modified scenario 19 soon as I put the final touches on it that I played all the way through. But a brief rundown - a couple of extra base units for both sides as well as increased support for most units to compensate for the little replacements received. Some extra air units. mostly RAAF, that I found to be missing as well as some a/c types used. The scenario & history briefs tell more & give more hints as to what is included. Fixed pilot database where unit commanders were not in the pilot db but in the leader db so would never get shot down or fly. I'm not sure but I think I may have helped fix alot of the excess pilot units by makinig sure all the pilots in the db were assigned units at start. This seemed to cut down alot of the excess pilots getting assigned to units that didn't need them. Float plane & patrol plane units still seem to soak up some but seems to have been tapered down, in my test game anyway.
Overall assumption of scenario is that Midway was a ruse by IJN with Allied intelligence finding out that PM was actual target so Allied forces are better prepared to face the IJN Deathstar forces so some Midway units are in the SoPac area instead. Subs have greater at start presence along with increased naval forces on both sides.

Hey JC

I look forward to playing this[8D]
