Version L Now Available

One of the most significant improvements to date!

Version L Changes Compared to Version K

Stronger JA & West AI

Totally new victory conditions for GE & JA
- JA has to capture & hold for 24 turns Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
This does NOT include Calcutta, Chungking, or Sydney!
- GE has to capture & hold Axis Europa for 24 turns
This includes all the European continent from the Atlantic to Omsk, but not neutrals

JA must maintain a garrison in China, & in each Chinese city except the inner 3

GE must maintain a garrision in SU, & in each Soviet city it captures

West must maintain a garrison of all starting units in north France prior to GE invasion or GE immediately gets Western Blitz card

GE can Pressure Axis to join war after conquest of Warsaw

SU can start war with GE after August 1 1942

Romanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian troops all have combat effectiveness reduced slightly

New units: Carrier Escort & Air Scout Anti-Sub

Carrier Air range over land reduced to 2

Start of game ship hulls (left over from Tom�s 33d) eliminated. Instead �
Ships already significantly under production at hostilities start enter game automatically in the quarter they entered historically

Map of Atlantic made more accurate. Iceland moved, Azores added

Any regime may declare war on Azores starting January 1943

British occupied Hong Kong replaces Chinese occupied Canton at game start

Aid to China can now be Supply only, PP only, or Fighters only

JA cannot build kamikaze�s until an island close to home has been conquered by West

Some unit values adjusted for better accuracy and play balance

The new victory conditions and garrison conditions should result in some major game-play changes.

Nice job you are doing with this explorer2. I have enjoyed your work a great deal. Have
used most of your updates and they each provide nice improvements. Great to have a senario that keeps getting attention. One good one is better than many average ones for sure.

I did have a problem with "L" in that there seem to be about seven jpg &or png files missing. No big problem though. I just copied some of the available ones and changed the name. I wonder if they are missing besause I did not install a couple previous updates?

Thanks for the encouragement elmerlee.
That was an oversight on my part about the missing files.
I hope to have a new version out, with that fixed, plus a few other improvements (see WaW Revised status report for details) by late day, GMT-8, May 18, if all goes well.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
