Glad to see you're making progress out there in the east!

I am happy to see that you are making progress with the new campaign!

Incidentally, I am back in Italy, so let me know if I can help you in any way

Seconded. They add a lot to the general atmosphere. On a side note: aren't piers in your screenshots too high on the sea level, if compared with ships and U-boats? ...just a constructive criticism, indeed

Cool!

So I will have to place a bunker in all player bases.

mmm... there should be a workaround for it.
Peraphs in future it will be possible to add nodes for KMO and upgrades guy to the GR2 used for docks (?)
I am just thinking aloud, as I don't know anything about GR2 editing...

You have the ability to add bones (nodes to you) so this might be possible to add the officers on the pier.

THE_MASK · 04-27-12, 07:36 PM

Is there anything in this foder that would help with not using the bunker ?

Hi Gap - it is good to see that you are back home and looking to help with this project

I am still building all the campaign layers (its been a big job, starting from scratch). Perhaps you could look into some info for making campaign objectives

Here is a map showing where ship movement will be:-

I am thinking about a few missions to fit within objectives. Here is Addu Atoll - "Britains Secret Base"

This could be mined and set with subnets.
Mission to recce port

Also some options to fit this in:-

Operation Boarding Party
On reserve since the Boer War, they are most noted for their attack (with members of the Calcutta Scottish [1]) against the German ship, Ehrenfels. The operation was organised by SOE's India Mission. It was kept covert, to avoid the political ramifications of contravening Portuguese neutrality in Goa, and was not revealed until thirty-five years afterwards, in 1978. The Ehrenfels was known to be transmitting information on Allied ship movements to U-boats from Mormugao harbour in Portugal's neutral territory of Goa.[citation needed]
The Light Horse embarked on the barge Phoebe at Calcutta and sailed around India to Goa. After the Ehrenfels was sunk in March 1943 by the team of British saboteurs, British intelligence dispatched an open message over the wire falsely warning that they would invade Goa. The crews of the other two German ships in the harbour, the Drachenfels and Braunfels, received the message and scuttled their ships in Goa's harbour in the belief that they were protecting their ships from capture by the British. Italian ships in the harbour were also destroyed. In 1951 all three German ships were salvaged.
As the end credits of the 1980 film The Sea Wolves state, "during the first 11 days of March 1943, U-boats sank 12 Allied ships in the Indian Ocean. After the Light Horse raid on Goa, only one ship was lost in the remainder of the month."[2]

Yes - I still need to fine tune the ship placments and docks

Wow, Trevally, that looks awesome! Let us know if we can help in any way, testing etc.

Thank you for the info TDW, and yes I was meaning bones, not nodes: my therminology in GR2 matters is very coarse

I am using OHII 1.8 with Patch 2. I also am using Ui boat 5.02. I am in the campaign final years, on my first patrol. After a battle i went to the radio room to sent a message to get re supplied The radio man said I had a important message from bdu. There was no dialog of any kind in the response box. I don't know if it a OH or a Ui problem. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciative. Thank in advance LW

gap · 04-28-12, 11:49 AM

Sorry, my mistake

Trevally. · 04-28-12, 12:55 PM

Thanks Gap,

Yes I will set the starting point for this in France and follow the re-fueling guides to get to patrol area before then heading to first base in Penang.

Towards the end of the campaign the base will switch to Singapore.

For patrol areas (using the limited range or the type Vii) I was thinking the Laccadive and Arabian seas

perhaps a wee visit to see Sober

Trevally. · 04-28-12, 12:57 PM

GR2 editor

Perhaps I could cut the roof of the bunker and let the pens form piers

Then remove anything else that should not be there (guy up ladder changing light bulb etc)

Hi Trevally,
I'm currently collecting some graphical information on Monsoon-boat historical routes. I'll report back once I will get my research finished
