@Cmdr:
If you have a newer version of the module, it won’t open previous versions (assuming you overwrote the old one.)
Alpha 3 implies http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6149 setup, since that’s Larry’s version. I have heard that Krieghund altered the setup more, but I have not actually played that version.
In Larry’s rules, the following exists:
British/French
SZ 91: Cruiser
SZ 106: Destroyer, Transport
SZ 109: Destroyer, Transport
SZ 110: Cruiser, Battleship
SZ 111: Destroyer, Battleship
SZ 112: Cruiser (fr), Cruiser (uk)
German
SZ 113: Transport, Cruiser, Battleship
SZ’s 103, 104, 117, 118 and 124: Submarine
Jen…
Ok,… now I’m really scratching my head. I went to your link above (last post), and here is the setup on page 1 (of 390 pages)… differences noted.
Germany
Sea Zone 103: 1 Sub
Sea Zone 108: 1 Sub
Sea Zone 113: 1 Battleship
Sea Zone 114: 1 Transport, 1 Cruiser
Sea Zone 117: 1 Sub
Sea Zone 118: 1 Sub
Sea Zone 124: 1 Sub
England
Sea Zone 91: 1 Cruiser
Sea Zone 106: 1 Transport, 1 Destroyer
Sea Zone 109: 1 Transport, 1 Destroyer
Sea Zone 110: 1 Cruiser, 1 Battleship
Sea Zone 111: 1 Destroyer, 1 Cruiser, 1 Battleship
Nothing in SZ112…
Am I looking on the wrong page of the thread? I know there’s 390 pages, and it’s likely there have been some modifications, but I am looking at page 1, and there are two major differences:
- The German transport and cruiser moved from SZ113 to SZ114 - which puts them out of range of battle on G1
- The British and French cruisers no longer in SZ112, now dispersed to other battle groups
These are obviously significant changes. I’ve look at several other A3 games, and frankly some folks are playing the setup you used for this game, and some folks are playing the setup I note here. So I don’t know which one is official. It’s fine with me if we just continue… J1 is up. I don’t really care if we are “technically” correct or not, but the slight shift did make G1 look intriguing to say the least, since the CR from the Baltic can’t get to battle, and there is one more British boat in SZ111, which really enhances the opportunity to scramble planes in defense and do some real damage to the German navy and air force.
Whatever you want to do… we’ve been wrangling about this for two weeks now. I have a bit more time now,… got the son married, so wedding plans aren’t overrunning my schedule for a while.
I will let you choose…
- Post J1 from existing and go.
- Repost G1 from the alternate setup.
Now, as far as the correct module, I have no idea whether I have it. Can you direct me to a download? I am running .80+ alpha, which I thought was the latest, but I still can’t open the A3 maps, while all previous maps from our games are no problem. I am led to believe there is, therefore, a new module that is just a few months old that I do not have. If you could point me to it, I would be grateful.
Thanks for your patience…
