We have a annual Finnish virtual pilots Mosquito meeting (30.6-3.7.2005) in next week. Is it possible to run FinRus set in next week?
-
FinRus is updated on May and I have repaired next points:
* Added four Ports: 2 to north and 2 to south
* Added four Fleets: northern Fleets (1 Carrier and 4 Destroyers to both sides) and southern Fleets (1 Carrier and 2 Destroyers to both sides)
* Added roads, rivers (barges) and railways
* Changed zones, now there are only 3 main Zones
* Added clouds
* Added more spawns between fields
* Added new Karelia's ground textures
* Added couple of other Karelia's textures, for ex. buildings
CT-Staff: If you run the map on the next week, please destroy all the four Carriers from the Fleets, because there were no Carriers in the Baltic Sea on 1941-44. They are there because of the game's deficiency: the tower is on the Carriers deck... ;)

sounds good to me :)

Dear CT staff you may run fin-rus forever, or at least every other week. :D
-
Does it start in one week or this coming Monday? The reason is we are sort of out of Staffers at the moment due to trips and such and we are planning on running North Africa with some variations again this coming week. Also has Skuzzy gotten the newest terrain update Kantorri? I just want to get some clarification on the dates.
Thanks

The Mosquito Meeting starts on next thursday, June 30. So it would be ok to change the setup on friday (next week), we'd still have plenty of time to play on the FinRus map in the meeting...
-
Ohhh YESSS!!
Just leave the FinRus up or run it every other week!
All the best,
Crumpp

Thanks for the clarification Panzzer. I will toss this bone to the rest of the CT Staff for implementation in time for the Mosquito meeting.

No CV group will ever have a place in FinRus. SACRELIDGE! HERETIC! Burn him at the stake!

FW-190A's please?

Thanks for the update, Kantorri. As for the carrier groups, destroying the carriers will not help; they will respawn within a maximum of 6 hours. All we can do is set them to belong to the unused country on the map, then stick them out of the way. Then we would have to set the fleet command count to zero, to prevent someone from logging into the neutral country and taking command of them. This is an all-or-nothing feature, since it affects all fleets/countries the same. This last part isn't absolutely necessary, but is just insurance to keep the fleets completely out of play.
I am curious about something you said above, though. It used to be possible to design custom fleets which need not include a CV as the flagship. Okinaua terrain had several "surface action groups" like this, which had only a cruiser and four destroyers. Is that not possible anymore? Do you have to have a CV in a task group now?
In any event, I support your request. The Finn group has been a staunch supporter of the CT for some time now, and the Finn-Rus map one of the best terrains.

Yes, the Fleets need in AHII always carriers because only Carriers has towers... and I don't like it!:(
And NP from updating, it was not a big job. Actually there are coming Custom Airfields as soon as the Object and Terrain -editors are working correct... and then I can update quickly my and Blauk's VERY SPECIAL CUSTOM NEW KARELIA MAP! :D
BlauK is just updating his over hundred new custom objects: Great looking different and destroyable bridges, new forests, houses, the Castle of Viipuri etc. etc.!
This 1:1 map is ready at least in September and I hope it is becoming a blaster, because we have built it almost half year... so try to be patient, fellas! ;)
