Module introduction

"Saratoga found some friends" is a scenario enhancement module for Task Force Commander: American Carrier Battles. This mod replaces and merges all task forces (TF-11, TF-8, TF-12, TF-16), adding 4 additional carriers to the dual-carrier option of the Battle of Midway, for a total of 9 carriers in the battle, with a large number of escorting destroyers and cruisers.

Features

  • Merge all task forces (TF-11, TF-8, TF-12, TF-16) into a super-powerful aircraft carrier battle group
  • 4 additional aircraft carriers were added, bringing the total fleet to 9 aircraft carriers
  • Add a large number of escort destroyers and cruisers to form a complete battle formation
  • Dual carrier option for the Battle of Midway Generator
  • Experience the aircraft carrier group operations of the U.S. Navy at the peak of World War II

Notes

  • **⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do not split the fleet into different formations**, otherwise it will cause the game to crash
  • You need to install the USN Hangar Cap Increase module as a pre-requisite
  • This module is suitable for the Midway naval battle scene and is not compatible with other campaign scripts
  • It is recommended to back up the original preset file so you can restore it at any time

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
