European Air War - The Gen

This is the China World:



and these are the front lines:

I think I found them by accident just looking for information about Truk. See: m The larger islands of Truk Lagoon, with installations and facilities as of 17 February 1944: *Moen (Haru Shima "Spring") - Bomber strip 3340 ft., combined seaplane base and fighter strip, with 68 planes, coast defense a...

This is a funny thing with ships and smoke and movement. I swear that when I first used to play EAW I saw moving ships, but I have not seen moving ships for a long long while. I don't think I've ever seen smoke from the stacks, and yet the tmod properties table does provide for smoke issuing from th...

Thanks Dean, been and pinched 'em.

I've got Japanese names for the various islands at Truk atoll, but nothing else so far. Quite obscure!

AUSTRALIA GETS DRUNK, WAKES UP IN NORTH ATLANTIC

Hello Alan, Okay, I'll take the wraps off the China board. "Battle for China" sounds good to me. Pictures are okay; bandwidth should be okay - I get 30 gig a month at this new domain, one of the main reasons for taking it up after they were moaning about the 8 gig a month I moved on their standard s...

Alan - I've made the forum for the WAW project visible and functional and moved the relavant posts over to it. If its any use I could make the Korea and China forums visible and functional as well.

See "Air Ministry Memos" as to the logging in problem.

Mosi - see the "difficulty in logging in" thread in "Shooting the line".

One fine day we must do a fictitious "invasion of Switzerland" theme and get this wonderful plane in the EAW sky!

See http://www.swissgnomes.com/gnomes/9.html for a possible 1943 scenario.

I have just finished an adjustment to the original CAW tile matrix developed by VonOben and Neira to incorporate Truk and asoociated islands. It dislocates the geography a bit, but what the hell. Neira is continuing to work on the tile layout. I've had stuff from Kurt and Neira and have started work...

I've uploaded the remainder of the newsreels - so we have material on Truk, Saipan, Guam, Palau, Leyte Gulf, and quite a bit on the various Phillippine actions.

I have now uploaded the first swathe of newsreel videos to the file repository - in the "video" folder. For any of sensitive disposition (does that include anyone here? ) I should note that these are contemporary Pathe newsreels, and the commentators do not know much about PC.

Dean - knew you'd come up with the goods! Excellent idea, and fine looking screen. You go for it! :rocking: I also like the contemporary "comic book" feel - which would be exactly right for an addon which centres on US Carrier aviation. The only thing is, now you've shown us up by doing some thinkin...

Amazing stuff pobs. Thanks for all your work on the carriers.



It will certainly be at the heart of this addon.

Done deal then. We'll use the remainder of the British slots for the Escort carrier squads.

I've downloaded a number of newsreel items from the Pathe site, whcih when converted into .smk format we can hopefully use as campaign newsreels. I think I understand right that we now understand the relevant code in the campaign files which triggers the playing of the newsreels. So far I have items...
