Just a side note but it's funny in a way how many little issues I spot just poking around old scenarios and it's been like that for most of the releases in the past half-decade or so. That's when I notice Icon issues and after reading your rating of Scenario #49 I loaded it and spotted a big one right away that will be corrected for the next update. In this case NONE of the LVT's use the Correct LVT1 or LVT2 Icons. That is not the kind of thing the scenario database checks can highlight.

I wasn't going to mention it but several times units loaded in LTV1s (The armored ones) took damage and unloaded due to rifle fire.

It was as if they were loaded on the outside like on tanks.

I wasn't sure if this was by design for this scenario or not.

Also, the turn 0 barrage includes Japanese artillery hitting freindly targets. I would cancel this. Again, I did not know if it was by design or not.

Yes, I spotted that when I was correcting the Icons. They were set up as riders not passengers but they are correctly passengers now

Something else I found.
There was a Japanese Daihatsu beached at the northwestern end of Betio Island with beach red 1 at left
