ORIGINAL: cavalry
Can I just COPY the whole game to another folder ?
I see what you say then the CHS folders downloaded ( I assume to the new CHS folder and will overwrite what they need to in the new CHS folder which is still stock changing what it needs to the CHS ??

Yes, in fact I had 3 separate copies of the game. Each main folder will need a different name, ie WITP1 and WITP 2 etc. The slightly tricky part for us nobs is the shortcut on the desktop has to point to the correct folder.
I ran a game with the standard map and one with Andrew Brown.
CHS
CHS has several different parts to it. The first it is in essence a new scenario that adds more and different ground unit, planes and ships. For instance as the Japanese you now have some commerce raiders, armed merchant ships. Starting positions vary and units may have different TOE’s. This is not really different then any other scenario that people create.
It has a lot of information and people have spent a lot of time on it. It is assumed to be more accurate, it certainly has more toys to play with, not always for the best.
The second element is Andrews Browns map. This map is available for a lot of different mods, from CHS to Stock to Nik to BB and others. Once you try AB’s map you will never go back. It comes in several different versions based on the type of look you are after and is an outstanding piece of work. Can not recommend it high enough.
The third and final element is implementation of A2A mods such as the nik mod or the experimental mod.
What CHS does is combine all these elements together. You could play a stock based A2A mod, or try a stock game based on AB’s map, they are not exclusive. The main element is the OOB change.
I could never go back to the original map or play a game without some sort of A2A mod. They add so much to the game. You just need to ask if you want the OOB changes. Originaly I thought it was great but am going off it a little bit. CHS provides a range of insignificant ships, lots of very small allied AK’s. my opponent screened his CV with them as picket ships, en masse or sent them out looking for my aircraft / CV’s. Really stuck in my throat. Having said that, the right opponent for you makes it a great mod.
