What will the American strategic/tactical bombers be?

the Helldiver?
the Devastator?
the Dauntless?
the B-25 Mitchell
the B-26 Marauder?
the B-17 Flying Fortress?
the B-18 Bolo?
the XB-19/B-19? (it's really cool) http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/americ ... 1632864365
the B-29 Super Fortress?
(for the lols, or DLC) B-36 Peacemaker?

and because i have no idea where to post this question will the game cover the Japanese Aleutian islands campaign if not in the official game as a scenario as a DLC?

Most of the US aircraft you listed are in, and a couple more

B18, B19 and B36 are not included at this point.

oh, i forgot one, the A-20?
and also how many "scenarios" are you planning to put in the game?

The game has 27 campaign scenarios and about 10 mutliplayer maps (some coop VS AI which can technically played in singleplayer using the hotseat mode).

A-20 Havoc is in the game, models C and G.

Aleutian islands campaign is not in the game. Part of the reason is that it would require very different terrain types (snow). Perhaps for DLC

wow 27, cool! a quick thought but anything russian because i thought i remembered hearing something about the russians were just about to start helping with the war in the pacific but the war ended before anything really happened. oh and another quick thought will there be a map editor?

Yes. Pls. see here: http://slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=264&t=50143

A more detailed preview of the editor is published on our website:

if you don't mind me asking who is the "red Team", also does each team get there own specific units

Where did you read a reference to "red team"? In the tutorial campaign you play as "green team" recruits against "red team" recruits. Both use US equipment in scenarios that are presented as training excercises and wargames.

"Red Team" appears in the preview screenshot with alliances/nations listed in the editor. If that was meant to be kept secret I'm afraid it's revealed now

can you make your own scenarios or for example capturing one base would cause the enemy to call in a certain unit? or is that what "triggers" is on the map editor. also can you play multiplayer on these maps you have created/scenarios?

Yes, you can make your own scenarios, for both single player and multiplayer. The triggers system allows you to create new units and create new AI tasks based on triggers, so yes, you can create a scenario where capturing a base causes the enemy to attack with a certain unit or team of units.

Here are a couple of screenshots from the scenario editor (from the preview on our website: http://www.the-artistocrats.com/scenari ... r-preview/)

Setting up triggers in the editor:

Nice! It looks quite user friendly.

cool, this shall make many interesting hours of multiplayer , especially once people start making mods

oh, and have you ever thought of putting in any of the Tillman Maximum battleships as a DLC?
