In the .040 version, USNI 1.0 Blue:

Click the Blue RBS 70 teams in the Unit window and get a Full readout. The main data is correct, but the text has the readout for the LPD-4 class.

In the .040 version:

The textured water looks nice, but the land masses are just too washed out in comparsion to the regular HCE version.

This is particularly annoying when zooming in over 8X in the WestPac scenarios. It's tough to tell the shoreline from the ocean.

Thanks for pointing that out.

In the .040 version, WestPac 3.0 Blue side:

Click an F-35B in the Unit window and get a Full display. The "Class" designation in the ADU takes up two lines, so it pushes the remaining data off their correct lines.

In the .040 version:

Red orders are identical to Blue Orders.

I'll welcome re-written orders, I think the USNI scenarios need them (probably shouldn't rewrite them for any of the un-remade scenarios yet though).

USNI #2 SAGa Blue Side To Do:

1. Make Red bomber actions delay, my intention was for most of their actions to start after 24 hours of game time but they are flying right from scen start.

 

2. Give Blue side TLAM strikes instead of letting them go to waste.

 

PS, I'll throw up a build sometime this week for the rest of you to test/help out.

Okay, new build of the installer is on the second post of the thread. Not actually much reason to grab it yet, I haven't had a chance to revise USNI #2 SAGa yet due to the problems found in the SE. Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday for the next.

See 2nd post of the thread for a version with testable SAGa scenario and Convoy scenario, feedback encouraged.

I took SAGa Blue for a spin last night/this morning. I got slaughtered and the entire convoy was sunk before 36 hours had elapsed. I was unable to stop the Red carrier group/SAG (it started farther South than the Oberon group, Trafalgar was sunk trying to get into position, and the SAG turned just when I was close to position for the LA sub to get em. Seeing as the SAG was doing 32 kts I couldn't reposition in time). In the air I didn't even manage parity but was pretty close. My few successes were getting TLAM thru to Orland to do 27% damage or so, using Nimrod as AWACs, and taking down 4 Flankers with Harriers.

 

Overall I must say it was fun and didn't take forever to play. I usually hate to lose in HC but it was okay this time for some reason.

Excellent.

Seems it was Convoy night on #harpgamer. I played thru and achieved total victory with few losses. The air forces took the biggest beating and the surface forces were lucky to get away with very small losses.

 

No changes suggested by me for this one. To make a Red version some bombers should probably be removed.

I'm still playing through Convoy, but having fun so far. I'd suggest adding some neutrals and mobile SAMs, as we're looking to showcase HCE's new features in this demo.

Is anybody (besides Brad) will to re-make the USNI "Retreat" scenario in the style we've been recreating the others? Speed is of the essence; I'd like to see a solid re-make a week or less once you commit. So far we've found it almost neccessary to do two scens, one for play by Blue, one by Red. In my case that has meant emphasizing the Blue scenario, then doing minor tweaks to end up with a Red scenario as well.

I have to add a few platforms to the database to make USNI 4.0 'Return Engagement' possible.

 

I haven't yet looked at USNI 5.0 'Retreat', but I expect that only a few more (if any) will be necessary.

 

Someone willing to take on the USNI 5.0 'Retreat' scenario would be able to do so in the very near future.
