Update
The scenario has been updated.
New features.
The land forts effeciency for Switzerland raised to 150 %.
Now Finland and Switzerland have it 150 %. All other
nations still have the decreased land forts effeciency - 80 %.
2 Chinese militia have been replaced with 2 HQs. Also the
Chinese got 4 more air units namely interceptors.
Dontiz and von Nordeck have a new leader trait - blockade
runner because those German submariners were damn good
at sneaking out to the Atlantic.
Erwin Rommel has a new trait - desert fox.
The following Soviet military leaders who were in charge
of the Russian Army groups during the successfull winter
counter-offensives at Moscow (December 1941-February 1942)
and Stalingrad (November 1942-February 1943) have the winter
specialist trait, - Kurochkin P.A., Konev, Kostenko, Vatutin and
Eremenko.
The French general Juin has the commando trait instead of
panzer leader because he is famous as a commander of Maroccan
mountaineers not armor (this improvement suggested by Myth).
The US general MacArthur who utterly failed at defending the
Philippines despite having had at least half a decade to prepare
it for war and who was defeated by an enemy with fewer men
than he had has max skill 6 instead of 9. Also he's been deprived
of the logistic wizard and defensive doctrine (this improvement
suggested by Myth and Phoenix Dace).
The Japanese admiral Mikawa Gunichi has max skill 8 instead of 5
and current skill 4 instead of 2. Also 2 new traits - blockade runner
and spotter (this improvement suggested by Phoenix Dace).
Mikawa is famous for his performance in the battle of Savo Island
where he used a force of 7 aging cruisers and one destroyer in a
skilled nighttime attack against far superior Allied forces (9 cruisers
and 8 destroyers). In that attack he managed to concentrate his
forces, isolate and destroy the enemy, sinking 4 heavy cruisers and
damaging 3 more Allied ships in exchange for moderate damage to 2
of his own.
The Japanese admiral Yamaguchi Tamon has max skill 8 instead of 5
and current skill 5 instead of 2. Also 2 new traits - superior tactician
and spotter (this improvement suggested by Phoenix Dace).
He helped to direct the attack on Pearl and the raids into the Indian
Ocean which so badly defeated the British Asian Fleets that they
were effectively a non-factor through the rest of the war at the
cost of only 2 dozen Japanese planes.
The Japanese admiral Fukudome has max skill 8 instead of 6 and
current skill 3 instead of 2 (this improvement suggested by Phoenix
Dace). Fukudome famous for being an adviser on how to organize
the Japanese Self-Defence force after WW II.

kamikaze attack, supported at Midway on the Hosho, a successfull
carrier captain and land air wing commander at Leyte, has max skill
6 instead of 5 and current skill 2 instead of 1. Also a new trait -
- superior tactician (this improvement suggested by Phoenix Dace).
The Japanese admiral Nishimura. The victor in battle of Java Sea
against scattered Allied forces. Has max skill 6 instead of 5 and
current skill 3 instead of 2. Also 2 new traits - superior tactician
and spotter (this improvement suggested by Phoenix Dace).
The Japanese admiral Tanaka. Commander of the Tokyo Express
runs to Guadalcanal, routinely avoided traps that should have meant
his destruction, victor at battle of Tassafaronga, where he used
8 overloaded destroyers to defeat a force of 5 cruisers and 4
destroyers, sinking 1 heavy cruiser and crippling 3 more. Has skill
4 instead of 2. Also 2 new traits - blockade runner and superior
tactician (this improvement suggested by Phoenix Dace).
The Japanese admiral Toyoda has max skill 3 instead of 6 and
current skill 0 instead of 3. Deprived of superior tactician (this
improvement suggested by Phoenix Dace). Toyoda's plans were
suicidal, inept and always resulted in crippling failure.
