It should get separated in single battles, i.e.
1. Pearl harbor, wake island and philippines when the japanese took it.
2. Later indonesia, new guinea, sumatra, battle of the Java sea and Java, naval battle of midway.
3. Next Marines at guadalcanal, eastern solomones, santa cruz burma.
4. Followed by tarawa, kwajalein, truk, saipan and philippines.
5. And finally to the end.

Just as a idea, to be plucked by the experts.

Didn't UBI made any Pacific expansion impossible by this http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...49&postcount=9 ?

I enjoyed flying aircraft-carrier scenarios in Warbirds BTW. It is fun.

They must have been furious that the Zero wins the fight on the box too LOL.

I think it's the only sim out there where the Axis aeroplane wins the fight on the box. I'm such a 1c fan. I dare them to let a Messerschmitt win a fight. There's just no way.

I'm not sure what can be done about the Grumman issue...but I heard speculation on the issue. Some people felt that as long as Ubi didn't use the protected names (of aeroplanes) that Grumman owns...that the likenesses of said aeroplanes could be used in a game. To the best of my knowledge the whole legal issue revolved around the fact that Ubi used copy-written names for aerocraft that Grumman owned...when they (Ubi) where marketing the Pacific theater game. Maybe some with the legal knowledge could enlighten us?

That said...their are areas of the Pacific theater (or at least campaigns that involved Japan) that could be made into a game. For example...the "Chinese Indecent" involved many aerocraft that Grumman didn't make. Also the "Air Battles of Khalkhin Gol" could be modeled. And lastly...the bombing campaign of Japan could be mapped out with B-29's, P-51's and Ki-84's, Ki-61's, Ki-44's, N1k2, Raiden...ect. Its far from complete, but the air battles around Guadalcanal could be mapped out with the Corsair, P-40 and P-39. I know that its far from perfect, but their are some campaigns that could be played out.
