Just a little update for everyone.
Palau Gauntlet does open in the V1.4 ME. I have found alot of inconsistencies in the settings and things. Try to isolate the factors that let it play in v1.4 but not v1.5. The mission plays very well in v1.4 (no mods), I tried it last night.

Maybe you can answer a question for me. The starting dates and versions dates on all ships in the mission did not match. The starting date of the mission is January 1, 1944. I've always thought that dates for all ships in a mission had to match the starting date of the mission. Is this true or not?
I plan to fool around with it some more tonight after I get home from work. I'll keep you guys posted.
