China defeated in 1940 as Chungking is captured.  Some units will fight on, but other theatres will require priority.

For those who can't be bothered working out how far their U-Boats can travel:

The '20' markers represent the approximate line to which a Type IX U-boat can travel from Antwerp, or a Type VII from Nantes. Although Capital ships can travel further, this is the maximum recommended unless you have captured an Atlantic base like the Azores.

:arrow: Leyte Landings
:arrow: Iwo Jima Landings
:arrow: Okinawa Landings
:arrow: Operation Downfall
:arrow: Case Neptune (trans-atlantic amphibious operation to reclaim Europe)
:arrow: August Storm
:arrow: More Chinese Units (the current setup only allows a flood until T40)
:arrow: Western Allied Air Reinforcements post-1942
:arrow: Reinforcements for North Africa 1942 onwards
:arrow: Some Pacific Airforce
:arrow: Convoys after 1941

I must say I am ANXIOUS to play your new project bite!.
It looks very very promising.

All those screenshots show us pure quality :)

And I am glad to see another modder using the fantastic Puma´s ships, they add a lot of color to the scenarios.

Thanks a lot bite!.

Indeed, it looks interesting.

I understand that each unit is supposed to represent an "army" given the scale of the game. But i just want to confirm - do the units work basically as they do in the standard game? Ie. Tanks are good vs infantry, AT good vs tank, etc.?

I'm not sure if i would be able to get my head around the scale of the game. But for sure i will try to give it a go. Factories and diplomacy sound fun too.

Mostly similar to vanilla, but due to scale I have cut AA, Artillery and AT (these are assumed to be part of the other units). I have simplified the units a little bit as well, cutting transports (instead replacing them with "Motorised Infantry", which are slightly better than regular inf, and much faster).

I noticed that you managed a Total Victory in Battlefield Europe - perhaps you would like to add Sydney and Washington to your conquests? (Although Washington in particular will be a nasty beast!)

It will be interesting to see how the game plays without these units present, although i thought i saw that you has some models for AA?

I am interested in controlling Imperial Japan and therefore China. SE Asia and Australia would be my targets. But do you control both Axis and Japan or just Japan?

AA was originally planned, but when most of the original mod was lost I decided it made no sense to have a flak-only army (or even corps for that matter!).

The scenario wouldn't be a global conflict without Germany as well, so every major (and many minor) nations can be played as/invaded. Japan is unable to build factories, but Germany is always willing to donate some pp to them!

Japan's objectives are not only China, SE Asia and Australia: Hawaii is also necessary for at least a Decisive Victory.

Thank you for your mod.
Although i have put it in the usual mydocuments\games\panzer corps\mods subdirectory it is not coming up in the usual menu with all the other mods, i also notice that unlike the ones that do come up in that subdirectory it does not have a guid.txt file with it, perhaps this is why?, is it because my download is corrupt? or is this deliberate? thanks for info.

As a matter of interest what actually is the function of the guid.txt file? it seems to make all the difference with the mods that work. thanks.

As with all my other mods, you will need to use GME (unless you would rather duplicate the game and copy the files in manually). The My Docs place is for custom campaigns that don't add any new units or other content: only scenarios.

GUID is supposed to be a reference document of some sort, but it doesn't matter when GME is used.

Thank you.
I dont use jgme - although i have tried to install it many time following the detailed instructions it basically completely stuffs my installation every time so i use the overwriting method.

How much revenue do the factories generate each turn? i am trying to work out (at the beginning) if it is better to build factories (at 150 pp each) or just attack. thanks
