Having fun with this one. Thanks for putting it together. A few comments I hope you will find helpful: 1. The Indian base at Vishakapatnam appears to be duplicated. 2. The enemy appears to be carrying out or attempting very few counter-strikes. 3. The Indian carrier battle groups are probably too close to their friendly ports to play any real role in the battles.

More commentary on the Chinese carrier effort, and more discussion about the possible name. From http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/28/us-china-carrier-idUSBRE87R15X20120828 [excerpt]

Thanks for sharing. You can take some comfort in the fact that Reconnaissance is a bit of a rare gem. An older scenario that is tough to beat. You're not supposed to see the progress or success of your own missile launches, either. But that's the game.

If they're coming with the Otomats intact (and not time expired), then it will be a lot more teeth than they are used to having.

Hmph, Jennifer Grey had no business being there, but still managed to take an enemy with her. Kill to loss ratio still acceptable. Fake Hinds and all, still good.

True of some bees. As far as the Hind goes, the getting killed part also rings true on occasion. Wolverines!

I've restarted work on Part 4 of the Tactics 101: ASW effort, which will focus on anti-submarine warfare (ASW) as it is modeled in HCE. Obviously there will be ship vs sub, sub vs sub, and air vs sub. But what kinds of specific match up's would you like to see covered?

Already present in the HCDB in anticipation of the capability.

From Code One

I don't see quoting a fact (i.e. that the SEALs neutralized bin Laden) as requiring any direct support from the SEALs for the ad. Neither do I see any "connotations" from calling for the voters to remove Obama from office.

I saw the Pentagon denial. Not particularly surprising. Without further information - and I doubt it will be forthcoming in any official capacity - who knows whether it really occurred or not?

Except maybe .500S&W. Seriously, though, in a manageable carry firearm, I agree. My .45's see a lot more time out of the safe than the 9.

Not that any voice outside the borders of the USA really matters when it comes to who is elected as Prez, but I will take Romney over Obama any day of the week.

On that note ... India floats new naval utility helicopter requirement (from Aviation Week)

Try this: Shut down the game. Download and run the tool to clear registry settings, which you can find here at HG in the Tools section of Downloads, which will reset window sizes. When you start the game again, the pop up windows and dialogs should be ok. You will have to re-arrange the game windows again to your personal tastes.
