UPDATE: 1 April 2013 - Hey all, it's Craig, again. I'm still planning on getting the South Pacific modules up and running. I took a break after all the B-17 updating I did below. I love this game! So, version 4.0 will have the Pacific Theatre maps and stuff. ...and no, it's not April Fools.

1. Next project: South Pacific charts and maps. Oh, boy...

Recent Update: 30 July 2012 (updated ALL charts/stuff due to errors. This should be all the "fixes." - 1. Version 3.9 is ready for RE-download. Look for the DATE on certain files: these have been updated. 2. Added a Night Raid map. Hope you like. :) - - I fixed the issue with German fighters (on map board) being deleted and unable to respawn. - Version 3.5 for Vassal 3.2+ - 1. Added a Random Target Selector trait with 101 targets to choose from. The updated map board reflects this. Check your board. If not, re-download 3.9 to get it up to date. Why 101? Ever see the movie Spinal Tap? 'This one goes to 101.'

2. Added a Pilot Background/POW Escape Chart (don't laugh)

3. Added NEW Fighter Resistance Boards (via B-17 community).

4. Added 100+ map targets.

5. Added B-24 extension. - Version 3.2 for Vassal 3.2+ - 1. Added Lancaster variant module. B-24 extension is still ongoing but should be ready by the next full moon. - Version 3.2 for Vassal 3.2+ (The following List is a compilation from V1 - V3) - 1. This update is a BIGGIE! Out with the old; in with the NEW. Mainly the Mission Chart. Same, but different. It incorporates up to 12 zones! Plus! The Bomb Drop % section (top right) is right-clickable. Toggle between on/off.

2. Fixed the 180 degree flip issue on the German fighter counters.

3. Added DOW (Died of Wounds) marker in right-click menu.

4. Included M-1 board as part of the main B-17 mapboard. Now you can easily access the Defensive Fire "To-Hit" chart. (see the 2nd pic in gallery) - Version 3.0 for Vassal 3.2+ (The following List is a compilation from V1 - V3) - 1. Added NEW Mission Charts (Missions into Germany's Industrial Heartland) from AH The General (1986).

2. Updated, expanded, and cleaned up the MAIN Strategic Board. (Additional graphic icons are displayed on map representing new targets per AH material)

3. Added Memphis Belle Mission Chart and biography (menu tab). Now you can retrace the EXACT 25 missions.

4. Increased Fighter Zone Coverage Chart from 4 to 8 to compensate for the new Italian Campaign Missions.

5. Removed dual Mission Composite Chart due to Vassal issues. Just save independently.

6. Added LAS (Lost at Sea) marker.

7. Added Pip for use in B-17 Name column. This is in lieu of transcribing the bomber name 25x. Just a convenience.

8. Added NEW map of the Italian campaign from AH The General (1986) issue.

9. Added NEW menu tab for NEW B-17G data.

10. Added NEW MIA, KIA, and WIA composite markers, also included a POW as part of the menu selection.

11. Added a flip trait for German aircraft counters.

12. Added arbitrary rotation to B-17 marker.

13. Added all known errata to ALL colored data charts.
