Here's a new version (0.03) of the RFB mod. Sorry I'm putting these out so fast. I just can't stop and this one has a great new feature that I've been working on all day:

This new mod comes with 16 new start dates (so 20 in all), covering the entire war from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the attack on Okinawa in June 1945. The start dates have been specifically selected to showcase the game's video briefing movies - you see a different one with every campaign start.

For now the start dates haven't received the full treatment with regard to historical realism - some of the boats available may be historically inaccurate. I'll fix these details later when I get hold of some data.

Here's the part of the readme that details the additions to the game:
