Aircraft like the Battle, I-15bis, Avia, HS-123, SM.79, etc not in the initial formatted SE template. I don't as have Bordurian or Syldavian skins (need basic grey and green skins to make each) for these as yet, but would like to investigate the possibility of adding them to the campaign in the form of reinforcements or as new manufacture and enhance it's longevity and variety.

Regards,

Warg
I did some forum reading and it seems Warg was keen on new types coming into sector if they are in line with the period. I am certainly keen on adding the above in limited quantities to supply points and as above would not be able to be produced. Looking back through the forum posts I think the intention was that major powers are supplying new equipment in small numbers for testing under operational conditions ala Spanish Civil War.

As from above we could now possibly add:

Syldavians -
Fairy Battle MkII
I-15bis
R-XIIID or R-XIIIter
DH-82A Tiger Moth or Miles Magister
P-26
Avia B71 (a real one not a rename!)
Avia B534

Bordurians -
Hs-123
Do-17Z0
swap current available Bf109E4's with E3's instead. Not a fan having E4's in this- too late an AC
CantZ. 1007bis
SM79

These are just examples and I'm not suggesting all come in but maybe a few of the above be available in supply points for a try.
If we agree I'll happily put some skins together using Wargs template designs as needed.

Upgrading the campaign to current spec is pretty much done.

As discussed I have swapped out the Bf109E4's for 109E3's and the SB2M100A's for Avia B-71's which they were representing.

The Avia B-71's just need a Syldavian skin which I'll get onto ASAP.

Edit: And skins for the RIIID's , Hs123's, Dornier and what ever else we want to add. Its pretty quick to do.

As per previous discussion above we were going to add some new additions to the reinforcements.

Do you remember what numbers we agreed on Ikey? I recall the RXIIID's and Fairy Battles for Syldavia and Has 123's and a handful of Dorniers for Borduria but not sure exact amounts. I think it was something llike 20 of each or so.

If Syldavians have any plans in for any Avia B-71's please check mission as the aircraft and loadouts has changed. To be safe just replan if possible.

I have done the Avia skin and checked the Syldavian industrials issue.

I replaced E4's for E3's and the SB2M100A's for Avia's in production ok and in reinforcement pools.

There is a number of Syldavian industrials at Stebnick that have production status but no units being produced. All other factories appear to have valid units as per object specs. I look but I don't "see" ok? I really don't want to know or remember anything I see.

Airforce units verbose names upgraded to current spec only for the last mission of 03:00Hrs in ObjMissionData. This shows all aircraft at airfields with latest naming convention and special characters.

BTW, all this is being done on my system and being checked before it is to be uploaded to HQ so it doesn't stuff things up.

Edit: Stats update appears to be all ok as well. New verbose names only apply from 03:00hrs mission onwards though.

Stebnik factories are idle atm, that's one of the things I'm (slowly) looking at.

I cant remember no's either but 20 sounds familiar.

Sorry this isnt moving forward my side of things but its all too difficult atm with RL . I just cant seem to be able to spend much time with it & dont want to take anything away from Malta .

No problem I'm just keeping myself occupied and keeping it mixed up doing different things so I don't go crazy.

Same here, Ikey / _5. Have time for Malta as the shipping planning isn't difficult (there are no hills where to hide ships at or I haven't seen them in the FMB yet). I'm still trying to get some time for Black Pelican, but it's not easy at this moment.

Ok I've uploaded fixes to HQ.
When you get some time check the MP out and see if anything has been missed. i believe I got nationalities sorted ok as well based on Obj Specs.

No new units added to supply yet we can do that later.

We have also agreed to cull a good number of unused supply points as there is a big nmber by default in this sector. This is to clarify supply lines so they are consistant even when factories are captured. At the moment we both agree we have far too many.

I can dissable any that are surplus to axis requirements and just need a list from Ikey as to which to dissable on Allied side.

Cheers,
