It was fun last year but can we please place the American ships inside the harbor where they're supposed to be? It would be fun to man a ship gun like Cuba Gooding did in the movie and blast those incoming Japs to pieces.

It's nearly impossible to get fleets into areas that close to land.

Cuba will need to be on ship in this one.

"Nearly" hmmm?
That means you could possibly do it! Huzzah!

Jaeger1 pointed out the avahawaii terrain, which looks great.  I'm going to use that.  Here is a picture of the harbor:

I just got back from Thanksgiving in Sacramento and Jaeger pointed me at this thread.

He found out I have an update (ground texture and CBM) about to be uploaded, but I'll wait until after this event ("Dec. 7th") is over. The AvA staff wouldn't be able to test it in the time allowed :( and I won't risk a problem with the new version.

Enjoy

By the way Brooke, you'll want to keep the Japanese TGs. They're adorned with the Rising Sun and it's a little extra immersion factor.

One last thing. The Arizona is a fuel bunker, the only ship that is.
Having only one that burns will keep the frame rates up instead of dealing with all the fire and smoke.
I think you'll want to revisit the ships in the harbor if you haven't already, before you stick with any scoring parameters.  :old: :O

God is it the 7th yet??? These dang scenarios and snapshots are now my favorite leisure activity. Kicks the crap outta the MA.
Fuel up my p40 and make sure i get plenty of incendiary rounds :)

This one allows US planes to launch at the start (i.e., alternate history:  what if the US didn't disregard radar reports).
