Hi Guys , thnx for all the great replies.
After much research on how to add pages to the help screen, i finally decided to do a more extended version.
So..... now we have three pages containing all the major events in the pacific war.
The first page contains information on JAPANESE acts of aggression except for the doolittle raid on tokyo (didn't know where else to put it since it is no real allied war campagne)maybe, the second and third page contains all the allied war campaigns which eventually cleared the pacifc of all japanese presence (except for Japan itself ofcourse).

Hope you enjoy, i hope i can upload the files soon but i have no internetconnection of my own so it might take a while especially because the version you see here is embedded in my own modded version of TM.
So i have two do two seperate version; one for stock SH4 and one for the "stock" TM.
So please bear with me.

@Pepsican: You are actually right: The battle for Malaya started on 08/12/1941(it was a typo from my end).
It also sounds cool to include alternative names for some of the events.
Only difficulty is: i don't know any of those names (so maybe you could help).

To all readers: if you spot anymore typo's or anything else please let me know.
Talk to you later.....

Looking good so far! But my spelling has a lot to be desired so can't help you there.

It's Pearl Harbor, not Harbour. If we were talking about a generic harbor, then yes, "harbour" would be correct, depending on where you live. But, in this case it is not.

I,too would be interested in the stock version SH-4.

wovik · 08-25-07, 05:34 AM

would it be possible to list the dates like this:

7 Dec 1941

This is more universal around the world as you don't mistake the day for the month if your used to writing dates in the mo/day/yr format.

Snuffy · 08-25-07, 09:59 AM

I'll take one for the latest TM please and thank you.

Yes please, that month/day/year thing in numerals will fudge me everytime.

Battle off Savo Island 9 August 1942, (in Guadalcanal section of timeline)

mcaa666 · 08-28-07, 02:01 PM

Ok since i've seen some requests for a revised date format, i decided to do 4 versions;
two for the ones who like the old dateformat (stock and TM) including myself i guess, and two with the new dateformat (also stock and TM).
Ofcourse this means that you guys will have to wait a bit longer for the release.
I am at the moment working very hard on the stock SH4 version so bear with me.
Cheers, mcaa666

@ JimRat, thnx for the info, do you happen to know when the battle off Savo Island ended?
I will incorporate this once i have an end date.
