Ben have spent a month doing extensive research, both from online at the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships website, as well as the book "U.S. Naval Operations In World War Two - Guadalcanal" by Samuel Elliot Morrison - and have discovered that literally dozens of ships that should be present in this scenario are not (such as the repair ship Vestal, several Destroyer Tenders and Submarine Tenders and three PT Boat Tenders) - and also that literally dozens of ships that should not be present....are  In additiion, RAAF No.6 and No.32 Squadrons (Lockheed Hudson patrol bombers based at Port Moresby) were *missing* from the scenario! As far as he can tell, all missing ships have been added at the appropriate time that they arrived, all incorrect ships have been removed, and all ship stats have been corrected to a reasonable degree of accuracy.
In short, you now (correctly) have a large number of weakly armed (but very courageously crewed!) small Dutch motor freight and passenger ships at Brisbane, which carried out the resupply of Port Moresby and Gili Gili, mostly unescorted - and several were sunk in the process. You also have (correctly) far fewer replacements in the Solomons theater, as many heavy cruisers and auxillaries were comitted to the Aleutian Campaign at the time. It is a .RAR file - all attatchments go into the SCEN folder, and it is Scenario 80 - compatible with WITP updated to the 1.8.01 Patch |
