The Italian paras may not fare much better since the deployment spawns must be fixed.
But at least their seaborne brethren should come to the rescue earlier.

1v1 Watchtower 1942-43 v10.5
Link updated in first post
This is a major overhaul
Primary objects are now all capture/defend locations
Secondary objects are all sink/keep various ship types based on the historical losses on both sides. Basically, both factions need to do better this time.
All units core units, this means the players may reform dead units. It will also allow different deployment locations for all unit types. There are only 2 deploy locations (villages w/flags) on Guadalcanal itself, one will 'always' be Japanese. the other most of the time US.
Note that the resource income is still the same, so players will still need to conserve their air/land units if possible. I doubt anyone will have the resources to reform a capital ship without suffering in the air/land departments.
The US navy may deploy further north along the right map edge, this is for play-balance reasons.
Have fun
Edit: I forgot...I've added basically all Japanese and US commanders as well.
For a start everything is looking good. I have a couple suggestions though:
Subs should be given perhaps to choose between several possible spawn points. As they appear now in fixed positions, any player that knows the scenario can wipe easily two of the US subs at the very start by sonar search
Also, I think the signaled reinforcement hex that 'has to be free of enemies around' should be mentioned in the Objectives. Being named once in the Briefing makes easy to forget to poor old, memory-leaking dudes like me (was it Kowabunga Point, Papanicolau or what?)
PS: Hey, look at it! I got a brand new Ju87G instead of that lousy bunker!

Interesting! I think I've done okay (with the occasional exception. Aemil.
) for the most part in the earlier versions but they've always been fun.
Ah! He's ripping the shirt off your back too then?

Yes, I forgt about the Watchtower subs. Also, with the core deployments there is no longer a need to keep any US vessels off the old spawning location. I need to remove this warning from the Japanese briefing.

I ended up surrendering to Aemil, they earned the win in Watchtower. Although once I get a feel for this new version... The business of keeping enemy ships away from unit spawn points was interesting but ultimately more trouble than it was worth I guess. Never could figure out if I wasn't getting them because of a hidden sub or just intrinsic intervals / limits.
On the subject of subs those two Japanese ones in the southwest seem a bit pointless. Takes them forever to get anywhere or do anything, unless the allies deploy a few ships of their own in that area. Which isn't impossible, to be fair.

Yep, the sub locations are historical. But an Allied player will only venture up the Guadalcanal west coast once....

You didn't counted on me. I have done it twice although I'm sure I'll be sorry soon

So if I understand correctly there's been a workaround for the spawning core reserve (this is complicated!) unit issue? Let me know when adjusted scenarios are available so I can jump right back in

My idea of spawning reinforcing free deployment core units is solved.
I need a little time to update Operazione & Watchtower, will PM you guys when I'm finished.

Awesome as ever, Erik.
PS: most surely a temporal issue, but the Op C3 10.6 appears as "deleted archive" in Dropbox

Looks like Chagi grabbed both Watchtower scenarios while I took both C3. If there are more changes (and maybe not after all the fixes!
) we can alternate next time.

Whoops guess I jumped the gun thinking it was Chema who took the Watchtower matches, but since another tweak was needed all worked out in the end. This is the first time I've played C3 as the axis and really felt like it could go either way
Even my weird little mistake with the Italian special forces deploying in water fixed itself, with them switching back to boats next turn and able to deploy on land.
Love the free deploy of core reinforcements. Took some effort to get working on your part but it paid off. My only worry would be with unfamiliar players not realizing they were in the pool. Do you have to check every turn just in case, or is there a warning of some kind if you don't deploy them? I'm guessing the former.

There are so many reinforcemens turns for both sides in Operazione, so this precludes providing messages each time.
In Watchtower I added messages for the first of each type of reinforcement; air-land-naval.
