I can understand all that! It's strategic level combat changing how the tactical level works. Still, those are my two cents. The scenario is excellent, especially the map. It's a classic I hope to see in the next update.

A topical scenario given the USN had two warships,the destroyer Higgins and the cruiser Antietam engaged in "freedom of navigation operations" just a few days ago during the week of 27 May 2018 around the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.

And this is exactly why I wanted to do the scenario.
China is betting no one is willing to risk all out war so they keep pushing and pushing. The trouble is, much like we saw in the 30's until someone stands up and says "No" they'll just keep pushing and eventually everyone will wake up one morning to a real disaster and say "How did that happen?"

Fun scenario.

I had some OOB issues.

All of the support gunships and the LCMs did not have graphics.

Several of the company commanders (0 units) also did not have graphics. In addition they acted as vehicles (knocking down buildings) and played the sounds of horse drawn units.

I am not sure if the issue is my PC or an OOB issue. I have the latest patch.

As far as balance it was a bit of a cake walk. Slow steady advance using the helos to spot enemy units and direct fire to kill them worked for me. Without the helos it would have been more of a challenge.

Define "Graphics"........... are you referring to the on map Icon or the photo that goes with it....or both?

I loaded the scenario and checked the first two things you mentioned.......support gunships and the LCMs....... both show the correct on map Icon and photo so I think you need to reload this from a fresh reboot and check this again and if it still shows as you describe you need may need to re-install your game..... are you SURE you put this into the correct game ? ( and are you sure you have patched the correct games.,..?) winSPWW2 does not have an Icon or a photo to cover for the ones the LCM or the Vipers use in this scenario which would explain why you don't see them and why all the other weird things happened as you described.

I meant to say gun boats not gun ships. The Vipers were fine.

You have missed at least the last patch for sure

The LCM-6 mod 2 Icon used is 7767 and that was only just put in for V12 so it's clear you do not have all of part of V12 installed

I didn't do the map.
A while back I had the idea for the scenario but map making isn't my thing so I asked if someone was interested in making one and Grant1pa was kind enough to do so.
