p.s. i shut down SH4 to let it think on its sins.
fired it up just now and Home Base has moved from Darwin to Pearl Harbor. (???)
so, we shoved off to head to Pearl and......CTD.

That would have to be done in the Save files, and possibly in more than one location... I cannot remember the details, but it is easy enough to find... maybe
the Darwin Flotilla start date is 8/28/43.

; ************ Begin F23 DA Darwin *************
[Flotilla 23]
ID=DarwinCommand
NameDisplayable=Port Darwin N.T.
AvailabilityInterval=1943-08-28, NULL

The transfer date for the Narwhals based at Pearl is 9/4/43.
[Flotilla 1.UserPlayerUnitType 6]
ID= F1Narwhal
NameDisplayable= Narwhal Class
AvailabilityInterval= NULL, 1943-09-04
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= Narwhal
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= DarwinCommand

however, the Narwhal availability at Darwin is 11/15/43.

[Flotilla 23.UserPlayerUnitType 1]
ID=F23Narwhal
NameDisplayable=Narwhal Class
AvailabilityInterval=1943-11-15, 1944-10-03

so, the first two parms are not necessarily the problem but the third one is probably the culprit. I heard a rumor to that extent....maybe it was a recent post. I can't remember back that far.

seriously, i'll change the last parm (Narwhal avail at Darwin) to 8/28/43 and let you know if that worked out.
thanks!


p.s. put this on the list of gripes.
