Andrew Brown's War in the Pacific Map - Scenarios

Introduction

When using my WitP map, only specially modified scenarios can be used. This is because the location data for the modified map is not the same as for the official map. These scenarios can either be conversions of scenarios that have been made for the official map, or can be new scenarios created from scratch.

Official scenarios

Converted official scenarios

The following scenarios, converted from the official scenarios, are available. All of these scenarios are for use with my standard map, not the extended map.

Note: As of map version 6.0, I have changed the way I convert the stock scenarios. To make this process easier, and thus allow more scenarios to be made available, I no longer make all of my base value (size, SPS, supplies, fuel, production etc.) changes to the converted scenarios. These conversions now include:

  • Movement of all units and bases to the correct hexes for my map..
  • Addition of new bases.
  • Correction of many base names.
  • Addition of a small number of new LCUs, mainly to account for the new bases.
  • Fix of the Type 13 radar, to make it operate as an air search radar.
In addition, I have converted scenario 15 and 16 to also include the following (as well as all of the above):
  • Modification of the values of MANY bases, including port and airfield size and SPS, starting supplies and fuel levels.
  • Modification of some production values for bases in India, Australia, China and a few other places.
  • Modification to the Australian OOB.
  • Modification to many CD units to more correct placement and TO&Es (Including the Soviets).
  • Fix fuel levels for those ships that start with higher fuel levels than their class value.
These conversions are now given the scenario numbers 125 and 126 (converted from scenarios 15 and 16 respectively).

CHS

Combined Historical Scenarios (CHS):

The Combined Historical Scenarios (CHS) have been created by the combined efforts of a number of War in the Pacific players. It includes an overhaul of land, air and naval OOBs, TO&E, bases and game art.

There are several available variants of the CHS scenario. The CHS scenarios require my extended WitP map to be installed. There is also a separate "base" package containing the art files and documentation.

To download and install CHS, please see the CHS Download page.
CHS Variants

Combined Historical Scenarios (CHS) Variants:

The following CHS variants are currently available:

  1. Treespider's CHS (2.08) variant.
  2. Ron Saueracker's CHS (2.06) variant.

Treespider's CHS (2.08) variant:

Forest Webb ('Treespider') has created a CHS variant based on CHS 2.08. The changes include the following:

Primary changes -

  1. Additon of 35+ bases to China - More places to garrison....

  2. Redux of the Chinese Orbat that I originally reduxed. - 95% of the Chinese Central Army Divisions are represented... the others will be in warlord corps of two or three warlord divisions each....Chinese Units will have a severe reduction in support squads which will curtail their offensive potential as well as most of the corps being stationary.

  3. Recalibration of aircraft speeds in terms of knots.

  4. Reduction in the size of most airbases on the map.

  5. Reduction in pilot experience.

  6. Reduction in aircraft weapon accuracy.

Among other things.....

Ron Saueracker's CHS (2.06) variant:

Ron Saueracker has created a version of CHS in which the ability for replacement US CVs and cruisers to be generated for those sunk before 1943 has been removed, and additional ships added to match those that arrived historically (renamed to avoid name clashes with existing ships). This is otherwise known as a "non-respawn" variant.

"Alhazred" has created a "mini mod" scenario, based on my scenario 125. "Alhazred" comments:
