Waltzing Matilda introduced the Type 3.

Okay, AT value seems a little off for a 75L38 gun, but not so bad.

Then comes Armor of Saipan. Type 1, Type 4, and a new Type 3.

A little awkward, but fortunately Japan had two Type 3 designs, the Chi-Nu and Chi-Nu Kai. So make the new Type 3 the Chi-Nu Kai, and put the new tanks in the Axis Specials extension. Not a very elegant solution, but there are only 2 scenarios to consider, so it works.

Now there is Pacific Armor and  Mindanao 1945. Type 1, Type 4, and Type 3 is now standardized?

All the Japanese armor in Axis Specials need to migrate to OOB Japanese Army 1944-45. Chi-Nu now needs 2 versions, as does the So-Da, and perhaps the Ho-Ni.

That leaves 1 half-weird question. What about the Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai (which was never actually produced)? Maybe this in the Axis Specials?

Looks like something that might work with the autogyro...

Some ideas:

1. A pull down menu on the Gun and artillery markers that show how much ammo is available.  Take a look at the VASSAL module for the Assault series of game.  Each unit counter has this, you pull down the menu and it shows each type with a large box, in that box you type the number of at start ammo and then that number of little boxes appear. When you use up an increment of ammo you fill in the box by clicking it.

2. You could create a counter for both smoke and illumination ammo that counts down like the mine counters do and one could simply place these under the gun and move it with the gun; when using an ammo you decrease the number.  For OBA you could place one of these for each increment in the OBA Holding box.  I'm using mine counters this way right now, using masked ones for Red and unmasked for blue.]]>

Tread and I have been playing Big Red One 47 and noticed that the US OBA isn't marked as fired when it is used.  The console shows the following error:
Bad Data in Module: Source: US_OBA-Fired.png Error: Image not found.

I opened up the latest Order_of_Battle--U.S._Army_ETO_1942-43.vmdx file in VI and searched for US_OBA-Fired.png.  I couldn't find it, but what I did find was 'US_OBA-fired.png' note the case of the letter 'f'.  I'm not sure how the vmdx files are structured, but it seems that the reference needs to be updated to match the case of the file or vice versa.

Thanks.]]>
