It's a great aid for the game...

Just an idea:
Why not a message reader for the defender side and another for the attacker, with different info to offer to each side? I mean, that v1.05 gives info that maybe will be too much for the attacker (he will know where the factories go and what they produce...

Anyway thanks a lot for sharing your tool :)

Don't think of it as to much information. Think of it as spies reporting. Espionage is a very legitimate tool in times of war. [:D]

Hi Creeper. Great tool. Looking forward to it!

And from your screenshot I see you are still using my old map mod. [:)] I wonder if I should upload it again...

K 19, I haven't realized that this was your map mod!
I should mention it in the Message Viewer.
Thanks for pointing that out!

Exactly! [8D]
...or I could simulate a dice roll in the Viewer and show 1 or 2 random factory movements
to the Attacker Side, if the dice roll is successfull. [:'(]

But seriously, the final V1.05 will hide the 'critical' infos to the Attacker Side.

Is it possible for the attacker to have the option as to how much information he receives? Sort of an easy (full disclosure), intermediate (some) or hard (forgetaboutit) choice. Still being pretty much a novice player, I would be interested to see what is going on in the hidden world of the Axis empire. I think as I progress to the Axis side of the game, this would give me an idea how to handle the production side of the game. In effect it is a learning tool.

Takeoff and landing messages should not be disclosed to the allied player.

This can be (and is) used as a debugging tool. Very useful, but for PBEM usage the info should be limited? Any way to make it PBEM sensitive?

Actually I have allways thought that the allies had to receive more info from the recon missions, like plane or tool beeing produced in the factories (after a long recon, and with some fog of war into it). I think that some missions against the air factories were launched against specific objectives...

No problem. Not necessary. I was just surprised to see someone using it! It was uploaded for only a short time 3 years ago before I removed it.
