Posted up gents.
Frame 1 will be July 8th due to the 4th of July weekend prior.

Update those squad numbers and make sure you have at least 3 contacts for FSO.

This is the new Italy terrain and I am planning on a test, (much like we did for last months terrain) next Friday  the 24th for an hour or two at the usual FSO time of 11 PM Eastern.

Country Percentages:
Axis 55%

P47D-11
P38G
Spit V
Spit IX
P-40E
P-39Q

Allies have 10 aircraft types and must use at least 8 of the 10 types listed.
One of the 8 aircraft must be the B-24 or the B-17

Axis:
Ju-88
Ju-87
110G2
109G2
109G6
190A5 (limited to 40)

Hope you enjoy the nice visual addition of the new cargo ships. :)

Look closer.  Shadow/reflection on the water.

The cargo/supply ships where created by MrMidi of the CM Terrain Team and yes they are going to be targets once we work out some problems with hardness settings. Subs, PBY's interesting. Who knows what is next   ;)

They do sink....

The LST's beached at Anzio how ever do not sink.

And I can't let 68falcon give me all the credit. I may have created the ships and LST's but the entire Terrain Team as well as the CM Team,
where involved in testing and tweeking.

Hmmm PBY's and subs interesting thought.

Hmm...
Designer's Notes:
This new terrain has convoy ships, but due to a bug they will not be targets. Only the destroyer escorts will be targets in the convoys. I will again make use of the 'tower only' option for radar. Downed pilots may vector friendly aircraft toward or away from combat as desired.

Looks like a great setup~ Hope the 325th Checkertails can get its historical ride the D-11 jug instead of axis bombers for a change :salute :lol :lol

The test frame was a blast, terrain looks great!

Is it possible to download the terrain for this FSO yet? Or do I have to wait until it's over?

You guys are Allied Seadog. :)

B-17 check SEA I and SEA II in the evenings. I will ask the CM's to load up the new Italy terrain when they are not in use.

It appears that the new Italy terrain is loaded in the SEA I at the moment in case any one needs to get it.
