Thanks WBS. Keep up the awesome work!

I think it's safe to say the X-47B has rewritten the rulebook. In just a few years it's done more to advance the concept of a UCAS than the 60-70 years of unmanned flying it followed. I'm actually kind of sad the two aircraft are being retired.

Awesome work WBS! I'm going to end up using the Kanimba in a small Aussie campaign I'm working on. I'm using the Oliver Hazard Perry '82 to stand in for the Adelaide class. It isn't perfect, since the MK41 and .50 cals are all just ini edits. There's an Anzac FFG floating around Combatace somewhere.

Wasn't there one available? Think it used the ODS Iraq.

Looks good, will be sure to try this out.

Ok as mentioned, my Kamchatka campaign is on hold. However, as also mentioned, I have a COIN campaign for pfunk's awesome little Archipelago in the works. October 2014. The Tuatanu People's Communist Party for Solidarity and Strength has staged a rebellion throughout the archipelago and quickly seized control of the northern islands thanks to stockpiles of weapons hidden following the war in 1992 and alleged North Korean assistance. Following an official request from the Prime Minister of Tuatanu, elements of the Australian Defense Force are deployed to the archipelago to assist in COIN operations. Yeah, I know pfunk has the map set up for the 1940s-1962. But it looks well set up for COIN. I'll do some minor fidgeting with the targets to get some SAMs, bunkers and commie hidey-holes. So far I only have one squadron set up. RAAF 1 Squadron flying F/A-18Fs. Don't what what else to add apart from RAAF transports and tankers. We do have an RAAF Airbus somewhere right? May add some North Korean MiGs just for fun. Would also like to add civil aviation some how. Neutral country perhaps? Wrench, you had that figured that out right? Once I get it running, I'm going to need someone with more time available than me to test it.

I've changed up that. I meant more in regard to targets and layout.

Decided to revive this campaign. It's serving as my test bed for playing with ground war routes since usually I just change units and types around. I've received permission from PFunk to mod the Archipelago terrain which I'm looking forward to. Haven't played with targeting for a while so it'll refresh my memory on that too. I've added helicopters as well. FRPignon has shown their feasibility in campaigns and helis are a must in a COIN campaign. So, this is pretty much my test bed for creating a campaign from scratch.

Awesome WBS! The Kanimbla is actually something I'll be using in a small campaign I'm working on. Just out of curiosity, are there any plans to do the modern Gator Navy ships?

On a campaign I'm working on, I want to include a naval task force for scenery purposes more than any military value. Does the Navalcampaign statement in the campain_data.ini have to be true or is that meant more for the full on North Atlantic type scenarios?

I'll be leaving it on then. Cool thanks Jon!

Great work! For some reason I've always really liked the Newport.

I know there's some avid writers on here. How do you guys deal with the writer's block?

Looking forward to the Newport!

Happy birthday, Wrench!

Right now I've picked up Civs 5 again.

Another day, another couple missions.. We started off the day with a strike in Kuwait City. A large oil tank near the harbor was being utilized by the Iraqis and we were to end its usefulness. Two GBU-10s and two HARMs, Flight there was uneventful. Tomcats cleared the airspace before we were even out of Saudi Arabia. Had my wingman go after the fuel tank while I engaged two SA-8s and a Shilka. Wingman then engaged a Fan Song and a Fire Can with his HARMs. The next mission was a SEAD. We were late on station and as a result a couple F-111s took damage. While we launched HARMs and dropped our Rockeyes, a MiG-25 that was harrassing the -111s began to harass us. I engaged him, lobbing two Sidewinders at him. Second one hit. I went to reengage the air defenses and ended up taking heavy fire from two M1939s and took a hit. It ripped off my #2 side flap and put a couple holes in the fuselage. Wounded and hospitalized and awarded the Purple Heart.
