Okay, I have just replaced the Wing Leader: Eagles book for
13Jan19 with a new one dated 20Jan19. The only big change here
is from dave's feedback on Mediterranean Melee, which I have now
signed off on.

So, this weekend coming there's clearly a bunch of work for me
to do:
(1) I shall be processing all the test feedback so far. I'll
issue an updated Origins book with scenario fixes, probably on
Sunday. Keep an eye on this thread, where I shall let you know
what changes to watch out for.
(2) I shall produce current renders of the Eagles countersheet
for Vincent to check.
(3) I'll also trawl through all the ADCs making sure everything
is up to date. I think it is, or that any changes since the last
release are minor. But I'd rather make sure you guys are using
the most current files.
(4) Assuming this doesn't take up too much time I'll start work
on the first masters of the new aircraft art.

Got a file to you via e-mail, Lee.
(By the way I hope it's ok to post in your Diary...)

Sure thing. Oh, and thanks for the ADC feedback. I have to add
reviewing that feedback to my list of tasks.

Okay, rather than doing aircraft art, I spent the day updating
the ADCs, based on Vincent's proof run. Note that no data has
changed. rather, a lot of small typos and other fixes for
consistency have been made. I also edited some of the
back-of-card blurb on many of the cards.
Another proofing pass will need to catch the errors I
undoubtedly made. However, the all-new ADCs have been posted up
to dropbox. Note again: the card data has not changed in this
pass--all the changes are either related to typos or consistency
of presentation.

I have posted .jpgs of the Eagles countersheets to the Eagles
folder on dropbox, for Vincent to review.

Okay, so there have been four big drops this weekend:
(1) ADCs.
As I posted yesterday, new ADCs have been uploaded to the
dropbox. These are primarily focussed on presentational
clean-ups (regularisation of terms, ordering of information,
etc.). Along the way I did some edits of the back-of-card blurb.
No data was changed, though I recommend everyone grab the latest
anyway. (Note: To the new guys: note that I don’t update ADCs
often, and we are at the point where the updates are more to do
with typos than with data changes.)
(2) Eagles Countersheet.
I’ve posted more recent renders of the Eagles countersheet as
.jpgs, for Vincent’s reference when proofing.
(3) Victories Scenario Book.
In the Victories second edition folder I have replaced the old
scenario book dated 19Jan19 with a new one dated 27Jan19. This
has the changes to the following scenarios:
V07 Malta Recce - Has the updates from ten days ago
V17 Nemesis - Has Gordon’s revisions posted yesterday
(4) Origins Book.
In the Origins folder I have replaced the old book dated 19Jan19
with a new one dated 27Jan19. This has the changes to the
following scenarios:
O02 Operation Wasserkante - Consolidate Bf 110 flights as
squadrons and given them tactical flexibility; move the
Airfield; adjust the victory levels in favour of the Poles;
fixed the return to base special rule
O05 Operation Zet - Minor adjustment to victory levels
O06 Wuhan Clan - Adjusted Flak
O14 Sourabaya Johnny - Fixed special rule numbering but as it’s
a small typo I haven’t bothered to updated the version number
O19 Chirris Over Brunete - Made the scenario a non-bombing
scenario.
O20 A Fine Winter’s Day - Reduced numbers of escorts; increased
Nationalist veterans; clarified special rule on return to base
O21 Super-Fly - Clarified special rule on initial tally;
adjusted flak and victory levels
O23 Operation Sunrise - Gave the escorts tactical flexibility;
reversed the way that victory was calculated
O26 Forgotten Planes - Changed some flights to squadrons;
changed max loss values; changed victory trigger
Now that's done I'm going to take a look at some of the recent
rule queries.

My apologies. I don't normally do this but I've just had to
re-post the Origins book after I discovered an error I'd made
with the Operation Sunrise scenario victory conditions that
broke the scenario. I've fixed this now and have re-uploaded the
book to dropbox. I've also included the changes to O22 Bombers
First, following Elias's feedback.

Lee,
I was reviewing the ADCs yesterday and I noticed "Reduce Turn
rating by -1" having been deleted from the D4Y4 Suisei "Judy"
Kamikaze variant. As you state that there has been no changes to
data, I thought I'd just ask if this deletion was intended.

It is for now. When I looked at this I could not reconstruct the
rationale for the reduction anywhere in my notes. It might be an
old legacy thing from before the time I codified the ADC
creation doc in its current form.
