My main project is the Hellhawks Tour 2, but this is something that has been going over in my mind while I've been helping with the Philippines Map, and when I saw the Darwin Map come out.

WHAT IF - In 1912 the Japanese had gained the territory (island) of Timor from the Dutch and the Portuguese as a result of their boarder war, and by 1940 had turned such into a western Rabaul.

WHAT IF - The American Carriers had be caught at Pearl and most of them were Sunk?

WHAT IF - That caused America to go on the Defensive, and concentrate on protecting the Hawaian Islands and the West Coast.

WHAT IF - The Japanese fleet had not been seriously opposed in the CORAL SEA, and the Japanese were able to capture New Guinea, more importantly Port Moresby.

WHAT IF - The Japanese were able to capture the entire solomon island chain and make the Guadacanal Airbases operational, finaly Isolating Australia from the West.

WHAT IF - The Japanese (because of all of these conditions) favored the Idea of Invading the Northern territorys of Australia, in order to force their submission.

OK, now if that is the world you live in.....

Consider YOU are a pilot in the Far East Air Force when Japan Invades the Philippines.

Consider the FEAF was not totaly destroyed in the first week of the Invasion.

Consider they were able to pull some B-17s and some P-40s to airfields on to Smaller Islands that had little known airstrips.

Consider the Japanese might not be able to comit as much airpower because of all their opperations in the Solomons and New Guinea. Who's time tables step up with the loss of American Carrier Power.

Consider that when the FEAF eventualy does have to pull back to Australia it then gets assigned to help repulse the possible INVASION OF AUSTRALIA.

Just a thought...

Hey everyone, No i'm not talking about Monday's Stockmarcket Crash...

I went camping this weekend and when I returned my computer was off. I tried to start it up, and nada, all I get is a pin hole of light on the monitor. My TV in the living room is also messed up and wont hold a picture.

Considering that, and that the clocks were all blinking I think that lightning, or some kind of power surge is the issue.

I don't know if my computer is fixable, and even though I will be looking into such, I can hardly afford Gas right now, so it seems that I might be S.O.L. for some time.

Not to mention the Philippines Campaign, and Slot Campaigns I were still working on.

I've no plan to pick back up on those from scratch as will most likely be the case.

I do however have missions files from my WIP Slot and Philippeans Campaigns on Thumb Drives, and would be more than Happy to Share those with whomever would like them.

Remember you can erase the action from the mission files and can use the templates for static and DCG campaigns.

I hope to have everything fixed and be back in the skies by X-mas at worst, but my Campaign building days look to be officialy over.

Cheers

Sorry to hear that, just started the Slot campaign and it's damn good. Considering it's flying an F4U.

It's just a personal love hate relationship with it. Lets say I love to hate it.

Times are tough these days, and I know how that feels.

Don't know diddly about building missions and stuff no patience for it, so hopefully someone would love to take on that particular area, since there is a real shortage of campaigns in the area.

Best of luck getting your stuff up and running.

Oh I got everything Fixed back up thanks to some Friends, I needed a New Power Supply!!

Check out the FEAF campaign as its 3 missions from being done, and this "What IF" was the basis for it.
