sorry to disturb you pap. please check your email. i wanna play your scenario if you don´t mind.

[Pap1723]

Well, it looks like I am going to have to release the scenario here as Geocities refuses to work...

Part 1...

[conmcb25]

And whatever you do DO NOT use a "period" when you name the folder!

Examples:

This is OK!: 2194 Gigamap v08


This is NOT OK!: 2194 Gigamap v0.8


Do not use periods! Since windows recognizes a period as an extension it screws up the folder somehow and makes the scenario do weird things!

I would wait a couple of hours before you download this! Pap and I are playtesting 1vs 1 right now! And before the first turn was up we found two "bugs". So be patient and let us play a few turns first!

*grumbles about not receiving credit on his units*

[DarthVeda]

although the more I look at it, the more I want to re-do that val of mine...

[jim panse]

that´s funny. i downloaded one version in one piece from your geocities homepage and the other one from this thread. much more funny is that the version from the geocitiers hp is nearly doublesize than this one .....

I had no problem DL the Geocities version this morning.

Pap, the unsupported unit thing at Pearl Harbor is still there, and as I mentioned on IM, the P-40 version should be B/C, the F version was not a heavily produced model, and didn't enter service till mid 1942.
(The model at Pearl was the C, two of these shot down 6 Japanese planes on 12/7/41 over Hawaii, the B was in service in the Phillipennes, and the Flying tigers used only the B version)
The 14th Airforce (which is what the Tigers became in 1942) used the E and later N version.
The F was a rare bird, only 1300 of them were made.

i´m just having a look or two on it and i´ve to confess that it looks very good

despite the things mentioned above (P-40ies) i found some things also in your exquisite scenario.

- Pearl Harbor: i tried the version i downloaded this morning from geocities and had no problems with the Japanese attacking Pearl.

- Helsinki: i´m sure you´ve got maps at home. Helsinki is not there where it should be (Suomi!!!) First i thought you made some city there to represent swedish ore support to the 3rd Reich but then i read that its name is Helsinki. if you haven´t got maps (something i can´t imagine) you should try the CIA World Factbook (www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook) to find out where Helsinki is and where not.

- Koingsburg: last but not least: i never ever found a scenario about WW2 containing Germany that was made by somebody whose mother tongue was not german that spelled KÖNIGSBERG right. i found some really creative versions (e.g. Konigsberg [quite near], Konigsburg [not that near]) but it was spelled KÖNIGSBERG in these days. [today you have to call it Kaliningrad. the northern part of the former german territory known as (East-) Prussia is soviet/russian territory since the end of WW2.]
you know, just for historical accuracy´s sake
