Patine, here is the Okha suicide plane I told you about from the graphical update I did for Nemo's 2194, which still to this day has never been downloaded once I'm told.

I spent ten days on the icons alone.

If you can type up a short paragraph of info, it would be useful to
inform Harry, or Merc, and get it announced on the newsgroups.

I assume this scen did not happen to be announced.

Is it on CDG? - I will DL it immediately.
I was not sure if it had been finished finally.
Also, I want to see these Icons!

[Sarsstock]

It was a project Denis over at CDG requested I take up. It was available for download at a PBEM thread at one point but I believe that thread has been discontinued. I will ask him if its available anywhere else.

[curtsibling]

If you can find a link or a nod towards the scen, I will add it to my collection!

[Patine]

Thanks a lot, guys! I think I have almost all the units I need, now, except for naval units. I think generic destroyer, cruiser, submarine, battleship, carrier, and transport units should do. That would only leave the Soviet Siberian troops, Communist Chinese insurgents, and neutral garrison, but they're ultimately minor. I really appreciate the help!

[Patine]

Oh, and before I forget, I also need a good Thai infantry unit (I don't think WW2 Thailand had much more than infantry). That should about cover it. Thanks!

[typhoon]

Thai troops and Siberian infantry are in this thread. Look at my Malaya units post and Jim's post. I'll work on the Communists, if I am able to.

although Aussie units can also be built by the Commonwealth player to reflect the Australian prescence in Slim's XIV Army.

The only Australian presence in the Burma theatre was a couple of fighter squadrons from the RAAF and a few destroyers. No ground troops were ever deployed in the Burma theatre (Churchill tried to force the Australian government to send our troops which were returning from the Middle East to Burma in early 1942, but the Australian government correctly refused to do this).

Basically, the best way to model Australia would be to make it part of the US civ, and give the British/Indian civ a few Australian infantry units in Malaya at the start of the war.

[typhoon]

Oops, my bad.

But I'm quite sure there were Aussie troops in Malaya under Archibald Wavell at some time. Led by that Gordon Bennet fellow, no less

[typhoon]

@ Patine

Here is the Thai. I've added somemore Commonwealth troops too.

Left to right: SSVF, Sikh infantry, Malay Infantry, Thai infantry

[typhoon]

Doh, heres the file

The most difficult problem to solve will be the "carrier" problem. The AI, as I understand it, WON'T build anything in the carrier slot unless it absolutely must. Additionally, the AI simply doesn't seem to have the slightest clue as to how to use carriers OR make amphibious landings. Any amphibious landings that are made seem to be more random chance than programming. I have the Pacific theatre scens, and have attempted them all. They all have this problem, or I'd have already made one myself. Someone was working on a ToT Pacific scen, replete with four separate maps, but I'm not sure who, or if said creator gave it up, or if the finished product is out there somewhere.

Good luck.

Exile, what do you think about my high value unit idea I posted above?

[Leonidas]

A few suggestions:

Carriers:

Give the US AI carriers (with planes) via events. So if "x" ship is destroyed then a carrier appears near some islands.

Amphib Assaults:

Again use events to give units to US AI to make assaults and give them the "go to" instruction - ie the units are spawned and then given the coordinates to attack. Nemo used this to great effect in Red Front.

Best of luck on the scenario

[Boco]

I think you might be able to get around the amphib/air assault challenge using HT's methods, but I strongly suspect Exile's right about the AI's inability to use CV's. Given a chance, (i.e. af>0) it will likely squander them, fully loaded, in direct suicidal attacks.

That was Darth Veda's Kyokujitsu. I believe he released the alpha version. Not only had four overlapping maps, but also had multiple ToT Events files.

For some reason I have Darth's Rules.txt for the initial phase.
