NC Midway player needed

[ivanmoe]

so if i want to play with you , what should i do.
again, the version i bought is 1.02

It may be that you can simply install the 1.01 patch over your existing installation. Should that fail, you'd have to uninstall the game and/or delete the directory where it's located, HPS/Midway. That wouldn't be too painful. I also use the art mod that's located at the Volcano website, but that's no requirement for us to be able to play.

One of the things that I'd like to try in playing is to introduce some doctrine into the game which should shape the outcomes into ones that are more historical in character. For instance, in the early battles of 1941 and 1942:

1. The first and second strikes from a Japanese carrier division must be organized according to doctrine. That means a torpedo squadron from one carrier, a dive bomber squadron from it's sister carrier, and fighter escort from both. Search and CAP elements would come from both carriers.

2. American carriers can't coordinate strikes between ships. This would mean that the largest single strike that's possible from a single carrier is no more than a deckload of aircraft. This does not mean that strikes from different carriers can't be launched at the same time. They simply can't be part of the same package.

From Guadalcanal, onward, the IJN would have held back its torpedo bombers for the second strike. The first one would be dive bombers and escort only.

Thoughts?
