Good evening, Gents,

Well ... I guess I'd better get the ball rolling on what you could expect in the future.

At the moment, there is some limited scope for further refinement of the Japanese OOB - mostly tying up loose ends - and the prospect of some tentative work on an Italian OOB - recycling existing icons.

I am not sure whether I want to issue a patch to the current 1.1.7P download for the work to be done on the Japanese OOB or whether I want to be more ambitious and add some more new icons - so new units.

If I did the latter, with the current total number of Shape files available, this would lead to far more clashes than advisable for anyone who just wants to play a mod of a perfectly good game.

Should, however, Andy and Don have plans to add even more additional aircraft, turretless and regular AFV icon space, then I can add more mod content without breaking newer versions of the game.

To avoid breaks, should this not be in the cards, we'd remain in Version 16, albeit, with increasing capacity constraints there too.

Right now I am looking at the Japanese OOB - helicopters - and the German OOBS - helicopters again.

Chaps, please do put some screenshots up of you playing the mod. It makes the whole development process just that little bit sweeter to know someone is enjoying the end product. Do please also list bugs, should you encounter them.

Best Regards.
