CobraAus -> RE: Cobra Aus RapidShare link page (6/26/2006 4:32:55 AM)
RHS v3.36 for all scenarios changes Mainly a revision of ESO aircraft - adding Ki-77, Ki-74, Ki-49Q (ASW), B5N2-Q (ASW), D4Y1-C, and dual designations for planes shared by army and navy - and ESO air groups, it also revises many eratta in air units of all scenarios (particularly upgrades). This also corrects the wrongly rated Browning .50 cal - and revises durability again upward (we have tried it both ways) - both of which will impact Japanese attrition - and the latter both sides attrition. Adding supply depots in Manchukuo to help AI get started at the right levels. Fixing the assignment of 815 squadron FAA. There will be one more pre release of ESO - then the final set. Comments today will be used in the final RHS set of this round. We need to play to get farther into the game to see if any other issues remain.

RHS v3.37 update posted includes v3.37 PWHEX file changes Major changes to device file - now I understand it I reviewed it - and no wonder land combat is all screwed up! Changed names of Japanese AFVs to what the Japanese called them. Combined tankettes and light tanks - there were no differences between them - so we could add other AFVs. Changed the Type 3 to Type 4 medium tank - because while the 3 does have a 75mm gun and is available sooner - it still has 25mm frontal armor - the 4 has a proper new chassis and 50 mm armor. Armor on Japanese AFVs was all grossly too much - no one could believe it really was that thin I guess! 8, 12, 16 mm is normal - and 25 mm is a "heavy" tank! Some modification to Japanese land units for EOS only - mainly assigning some different AFVs to mech units - and a few Army HQs use some Navy AA earlier - stuff like that. A few eratta on Japanese PCs and other vessels re light AAA were corrected in all scenarios. A a few land units affected by device changes - or eratta discovered implementing them - were also corrected for all scenarios. The M4 Close Support Tank armor changed back to CHS value of 100 mm - although it had 330 mm - because it probably does not apply to this rule system. The armor was to defeat mines - and not likely to be hit by shells! There will be one more update and then RHSESO will be formally released. I am beginning RHSBBO games now with a view to extended evaluation. I do not plan to release updates so often - so get your problems in now. Sid Link http://www.sendspace.com/file/g5xjn0 Cobra Aus

Er... I decided to start RHS 3.3.7 games for both sides using the passive BB scenario, and noticed some of the automatic first turn invasions were hosed--for example the TF attacking the Batan Island hex had supplies and no troops.

el cid again -> RE: Cobra Aus RapidShare link page (6/27/2006 11:06:33 PM)
It appears that way - but they work. Not that it matters - Batan Island has no opposition! But for some reason the troops load AFTER execution of the turn. There is one CHS TF with a land unit in the ocean - I didn't like that and sent it back to California! But Andrew says it loads and sails when the game begins. So much for software.

herwin -> RE: Cobra Aus RapidShare link page (6/27/2006 11:57:19 PM)
The Americans still hold Batan Island.

CobraAus -> RE: Cobra Aus RapidShare link page (7/3/2006 6:33:32 AM)
RHS v4.00 for all scenarios - includes formal release of EOS posted changes I went through every single Japanese ship record - and the first thousand Allied ship records - to get rid of date issues which prevent ships from appearing. Otherwise, this is a major revision of Japanese engineers, the completion of Empire Of the Sun - which was optimized for AI rather than PBEM, correction of errors in light armament on many Japanese transports, a revision of heavy guns (particularly 24 cm guns) for Japan because there were several times more in CHS and stock than in real life, and the addition of some specialist units: 1) First Independent Heavy Artillery Company with the Schneider rail gun 2) Second Independent Heavy Artillery Company with a pair of 28cm and a pair of long Type 91 15 cm guns [Talk about a company! In Japan a normal company would rate only one 28cm gun!] It also has some AA. 3) Conversion of the 27th Independent Engineer Regiment to "electric" - for radio controlled demolition vehicles - this is the "fort assault" organization mentioned a few places In EOS the 7th ALSO is "electric" 4) Elimination of the 5th Independent Engineer Regiment - the rest of the "assault engineers" - because it becomes the engineer units of the first couple of tank divisions - represented inside our 1 and 2 motorized infantry brigades in summer 1942. I also reworked supply depots INSIDE units - and got the economy to behave in every region- now I understand why this matters. If one does not do this, the system "fills up" the supply sinks until they are happy - with one times their monthly requirement plus a little. If they are big, they don't let production loose to a great enough extent. There was a rework of the names of British and Commonwealth Armies - and the Indian Air Force - which is a lot of work - getting rid of "Royal" - and adopting a scheme of abbreviations now including AA = Australian Army BA = British Army CA = Canadian Army IA = Indian Army NZA = New Zealand Army IAF = Indian Air Force IAFVF = Indian Air Force Volunteer Force - we have one flight - which was important for a brief period - and which got equipped with a type of aircraft in the game. EOS added a variety of Japanese planes (at the expense of others, or by combining identical planes, now operated with a common production scheme) - almost all of them early or mid war planes - some of great range (look up the Ki-74 and Ki-77 if you want to be impressed with range) - and we may add an optional art set to cover them - but only if someone is going to play it! I am going to do another pwhex file - it can be used in ongoing games - and then some supplimental packages of art and text/spreadsheets. EOS This is the integrated revision titled Empire Of the Sun in honor of some other games on this subject - and to imply what it is - a Japanese enhanced version It is actually a minor tweek - it starts almost the same - but over time you will notice changes in what you get that matter (maybe). Tests indicate the planes work fine under AI control - something of a surprise given all I had heard - but I did learn how to talk to the AI a bit. I also got it to stop sending Mongolian Cavalry deep into China - but never did get some strange deployments under control - sending an air flotilla to Okinawa FROM Truck ??? Oh well - you cannot have everything. Sid Download link http://www.sendspace.com/file/brrcb8 Cobra Aus

RHS v4.01 all scenarios posted (note only single file for each scenario this set) changes I regard this file as converting the file set to version 4.01, but it is not possible to say so in the file set itself as it is not part of the air group file where this is noted. This file set ONLY reduces the initial size of certain Allied carrier fighter squadrons AND sets a size limit for all allied carrier squadrons. It may be the latter does not matter in carrier operations. But it seems to me it matters if the carrier lands ashore - and I suspect it matters at other times as well. In any case, I am assured it does NOT hurt to do it. Further - I once was told "get the data right and the code will follow" - so IF the code ever in future cares about squadron size - it is set.

RHS v4.02 all senarious + PWHEX v.02 posted Changes 1) This has the full proper code fix for Essex class carriers so four squadrons should resize properly. It is what is supposed (officially) to work. 2) This has a workaround for USS Midway - in case she cannot operate four squadrons. The two dive bomber units are shown as one. IF we learn that she can operate four, I will undo this. 3) This has too many squadrons on Unryu class carriers in all scenarios - and on all big carriers plus Ryujo in EOS. IF they get in trouble with a resize, land the small recon element. 4) This moves the Tsinan supply sink to - Tsinan! 5) This moves the Fukuoka Naval Station Battalion to - Fukuoka! And then upsizes it to a Naval Base Force - so the training air group at Usa has some support. 6) This eliminates an obscure duplicated unit - I forget which. 7) This has some supply depots to further help the AI with logistic startup at points it needed help. This happens because some units don't have enough supplies - and so the AI tries to "feed" them BEFORE turn one. Giving the units enough supplies fixes it - but it is a pain to enter it unit by unit. Giving locations supplies also works - AI fills up everyone there if it can. There is a review of the status of LAGG-3. However, know that RHS Soviet Air Units are understated. When this is addressed, aside from possibly redefining LAGG-3 speed and assignments, we may add some other Soviet units. There are significant and difficult issues here - but RHS - which added Soviet ships and the Pacific Ocean Fleet Naval Air Force - is dedicated to addressing them over time. I probably have to issue a 4.03 eventually. It is my hope not to do so until about July 25 or so. I leave Alaska July 30 for a while. I forgot to say that Muroran was moved one hex to a equally valid location - but which has rail service! Muroran is on the edge of two hexes. EOS This is a hoot. Lots of fun. And political point freedom - for those willing to think in terms of different options. It also has some planes you don't see anywhere else. Not that you can see them really - there is no art - but you get to use them. Many are variations of other planes - and use their art. Otherwise closest art is used.

RHS v4.03 updates for all scenarios posted changes 1) This update removes the 9999 code from VBF squadrons appearing in 1945 - on the theory they might not then appear. 2) This update preserves the Midway "immunization" from the air group resizing issue because it is not yet clear it will work with four squadrons. I don't think it does. 3) This update leaves the Japanese carriers with too many squadrons in place - partly because players can control when they resize. [If you don't want to resize, never disband in a major port with your command HQ.] 4) This update includes a major rework of IJN Armed Merchant Cruisers. This is based on testing of the CHS concepts - which invented them in a game not designed for them. We have found what may be a better way - in a technical sense - and we have classified them in more classes - because they had varied armament. Also, all of them can convert to transports AP - if desired. 5) The LaGG-3 is slightly slower in this release. 6) A class of ships with negative range has been corrected to have positive range. 7) In RHSEOS - an incorrect air group for Nagato is fixed. Nagato either was trying to fly a version of the Rufe that could drop its floats - or it was just acting as a transport for Zeros! 8) Japanese airborne units are always classified as assigned to the Southern Area - so you don't have to spend political points to get them to operate there. The one exception to this in history - the "training raiding regiment" - which operated in China - is in the game in the form of the glider regiments - which it converted to - and which also operated in the southern area. 9) Some Japanese land units changed their commands, their initial supply, their location, or their composition - almost all of it either eratta or for technical reasons. 10) The "Oshima" unit is now properly Kagoshima - following Andrews reform in CHS - he is quite right about the name.

RHS v4.04 for all scenarios posted changes his update: 1) Makes no attempt to deal with code resizing of air groups. It assigns the air group to a carrier at the time it enters the theater - and upgrades the type of planes in the air group - but does NOT resize the squadrons. 2) Corrects Conte Verde in all scenarios. 3) Installs experimental experience ratings for IJN Shigure and USN England. 4) Rates AMCs as surface warships in terms of experience. 5) Corrects 4 aircraft art pointers. 6) Attempts to get AI to load 56th Brigade at Palau and 18th Division at Taan. IF these fail to load, you must do it by hand or the landings will go in with only supplies! ALL other TFs load properly - and these may now. 7) Corrects 10 Allied base forces to not seek objectives in Russia! 8) Corrects the upgrade path of a US Persuit squadron to P-38 instead of a Russian fighter! I do not intend to issue updates for some time. I have washed my hands of trying to please code for air squadron resizing on carriers: it would require I rename units and I am unwilling to do that - given one can either avoid resizing or offload a squadron. download link http://www.sendspace.com/file/pyi0g0 Cobra Aus

RHS v4.05 PWHEX file posted changes Note that a pwhex file works with any game version - and the version number is only included for reference. This revision makes Northern Luzon more like reality - you don't land on the Eastern Coast and go anywhere. So the "interior" becomes more "interior." It adds quite a bit of Sakhalin island to the playing map as land. And it kills some left overs from previous map projections - water in the middle of land - and other strange terrain that probably made sense with different projections/art. But those two are the biggies - Luzon and Sakhalin Island revisions - the latter quite extensive - and it might matter with those active Russians. Remember - in RHS there is a ferry connection at the North end of the island - the Russians don't need ships to get to the island - or for supplies to flow.

RHS v4.05 for all scenarios posted Changes This should be difinitive. When TF 3591 refused to work, I replaced part of it with 3599 - and it works. The Kure 1st SNLF now invades Legaspi as it should. Landing craft should behave properly - as in stock - about half of the landing craft were moved to slots that will come on command - the other half remain in high slots as in CHS - and all these start on the map (so you don't have to command them to appear). The others will appear anyway - in case AI is in control. A small AK class got its machine gun fixed (one whole AAMG). RHSEOS and (for major ships only) RHSPPO have the experimental day and night ship ratings. The capital of North Korea lost 2/3 of its heavy industry. The capital of South Korea got its port and airfield enlarged, and gained a HQ unit (Korea Command). A supply sink with aircraft support instead of regular support got fixed. EOS got four Army and one Navy tank companies. All active duty tank companies in EOS got three squads of mechanized infantry. The three reserve tank companies should build up to have them eventually. EOS tank units morale was raised - it was very high in 1941 - and it is not clear why it was rated so low in CHS? Some work was done on supply depots - as I come to understand where the AI wants to send things - and how to control it. Supply depots INSIDE units tend to NOT get instantly transferred like supply depots at locations do - so it gives me slightly more control of where supply is. Surface raiders WILL transport troops and supplies! I missed that. Just assign them the fast transport mission. SID download link http://www.sendspace.com/file/c28ex5 Cobra Aus

RHS v4.06 for all scenarios posted changes Regretfully, I feel obliged to issue a medium scale revision: The good news is that - aside from chrome - it mainly involves Russian air units unlikely to be used in most games. Seems that a number of "blank" slots get "eaten" by Russian units in hard code late in the war. So the Russian navy air force had to move. Investigation of a report about the LaGG - 3 also indicated poor research in the original (stock and old CHS) version of the Soviet Air OB. Not so much with the LaGG - 3 - only one unit appeared too soon - and that only a missing date. But the IL-4 was NOT EVEN PRESENT - except oddly in China!!! I added 5 regiments of these - and redefined the plane. The WITP bomb load (CHS kept the stock definition) was fictional - the internal fittings were for 100 kg bombs - not 250s - and there were only three external fittings for 250s - not four. The range was also exaggerated - as was the speed - I checked with Bill Gunston - a British expert who has actually met all the Soviet designers and was given access to their original papers. So three files are changed here - aircraft (for IL-4 mainly) air groups (moving the entire Pacific Ocean Fleet Air Flotilla and adding several squadrons to it - and adding the medium bomber force - and correcting a couple of unit dates and many upgrades) and location - this mostly for chrome - renaming large Japanese air units in Japanese: we have Sentais and Chutais and Shotais and so on - so why preserve the English for Air Divisions, Air Flotillas, etc? Korean is changed to Chosen for consistency with the map and Japanese language and a few more AI enhansements are put into Empire of the Sun - mainly to help the AI - a test indicates these are working magnificently - and AI has more punch now than ever running the Japanese offensive. [If you assign a unit 100% planning for a particular location at scenario start - AI takes that as an instruction - and sets up delivery - support - you name it. Neat.] I am now going to play several games against humans to see how this all integrates. My first semi-test with a human - in which I feel free to do radical things - indicates several things are working well.

RHSEOS v4.07 update changes This is to make EOS release numbers be in sync with the other files - which didn't work because of a problem with the air group file. Since they will all be called 4.07 when tested and certified to work - this is simply a rerelease of EOS to also be called 4.07. There is, however, one difference. Some dozens of Allied units - mostly base forces - have more supplies - for technical reasons. SID download link http://www.sendspace.com/file/sffmku Cobra Aus
