Japan 45

RE: Japan 45
There could be a case that the A Class Japanese divisions should be B rated instead. I also made sure that the Allies got some B rated US Army divisions. Mainly the ones that fought in the Pacific (as we are adding in Euro divisions for Coronet).

I really would like to have finished my campaign game of the Solo scenario but somehow the file wouldnt open through all of the changes that we did in the update. My feeling is that I could get the Major Victory as the Allies. At least I was heading in that direction when I was playing through turn 40 .... The Marines in particular were just roasting the Japanese forces ...

I learned the trick of building Trenches for the US Army Divs. .. really helps them .. you can do that on the beaches too .. something that not many people think to do. That really cuts down on losses ...

So keep on sending the comments .. I would like to see your sources for the Coronet forces shifting to Olympic .. I have never read that .. even in the more recent book by Skates ... (listed in Bibliography). Send along any info you have on the force changes.

Also remember that MacArthur was hesitant to use the Allies' forces other than the ships and planes ... the land forces were required to use US equipment .... that applies for the French very well ... but for the Commonwealth you will find in Coronet that they were still using British equipment types in part ...

But anyway .. its a grand game .. The OB was looked over by David Freer and updated .... a big help as I didn't have source material on that and thought we could use the OB "as is" when I picked up the project. Turns out we had a lot of work to do on the OB.

I added in 2000 additional map tags .. not realizing that the series games usually do not name the small villages .. did the same thing on the Coronet map too. In the end that will be one of my major additions to the series ... I like a detailed map. I added in a lot of embankments on the maps .. the graphics for those are very close to the Cliffs ... and really not a great "mesh" or the artwork .. but its very accurate ... the armor would have been restricted to the lower elevations ... except for roads that cross passes ... etc.

If you would like to turn in a game file from a solo campaign file let me know. I would like to see how you did. Always helps me in determining the victory levels too. The campaign scenarios are always too long to playtest ... same went for when I was on the Napoleonic team ... we could never full playtest the campaign files of 3-8 battles each.
