Have you ever thought to allow the modifcation directory to be described by a parameter to the exe at startup (instead of the modpath.ini file).
This way people could just make a shorcut and append a parm to the end of the exe name and path like "/modpath=JaggersMod". Then you could have different shortcuts to start up their corresponding mod.

This is a good suggestion, we will add this in our todo list. Don't ask me about the ETA though

I just bought BOA direct from AGEOD, and am enjoying that one very much so far! 
I am looking forward to BOA2. 
Just out of curiosity, what would be the benefit of using BOA as BOA2 mod?

Well since BoA2 is supposed to be an improvement over BoA, I'm not sure that there would be any need or interest in playing the old version for those who have both.

To all,
Remember that the FIRST game in a series, IS ALWAYS the BEST game!!
Well, a matter of opinion obviously. It depends upon what you like to see in the game. I like BoA simplicity, (i.e. no ecomony, no politics, no other stuff). Its more or less a pure wargame. I can play it to conclusion (1776 scenario) in an evening, and my 12 year old son, has a shot at enjoying it without getting mired into taking 45 minutes to make a move.
To some, this is not enuf, but for me it is. I would like to see BoA engine used for tactical level stuff. Like Civil war battles and the like.
And for BoA2, my wishlist would have included an ocean of more graphics (units/models), not more game functionality. But, I am not trying to SELL the darn thing, so there! A lot of the things I did with my mods was to UNDO some of the changes that were made to BoA, and to move it back closer to its original design. (like eliminating tracks, and the leader protections, etc..).
In five years, BoA will be considered a classic game. I am going to sell my copy on EBAY for some big bucks then.

Muhahahahahahaha!!!!!!
There still are a few glitches I have not resolved yet, like the stuctures not displaying, and the positions of the unit dots on the mini map.
But it does process the map, does turns, etc...
I had to re-compile the scens, of course. (just one so far, for testing)...

Actually was gonna ask you about this plane, noticed those files b4 but just added them, but the other thing I noticed was under the chrome folder you had a must go in folder, but it wasnt in showing that under the p80 folder so wasnt sure if it only must go in if using chrome.
