One of the war stories from New Guinea was recently published, and may be a good read. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/lost...off/1100151860

im more interested in a coral sea/ midway battle ( i cnat remenber the name of the maps

but the planese would be about 4 - 5 planes long, 2 or 3 carriers would be needed, minimum map effort ( its all water plus a few island), and lots of fighting.

plus is the only pacific scenario ive played in 1946 that wasnt a massacre for the japanese.

After Midway, the rest of war was a massacre for the Japanese Air Forces.

+ 1 for New Guinea theater.

Now that you know the history, the really sad thing is that there didn't need to be a problem. Everyone else would just tell NG, "These are aircraft were built 70 years ago with taxpayer money, go screw yourself" and things were ok. 1942 PAW, Pacific Strike, etc. were all chock full of NG aircraft. It's just that UBI threw Oleg under the bus.

When its finished... Before summer 2012 would be nice, hopefully we'll have recieved a few beefy game tweaks before then and possible a few aircraft dlc for CLOD

Oh well, the initial release was just short of a decade late, so if we're lucky, this might be out for Christmas in 2016 maybe? Won't surprise me.
