About CHS v1.02, some of the files are now available in the CHS section of the website (just look for CHS Mod in the left part of the home page) but the planetop file is still missing ...

Is the Planetop file necessary if you had v1.01 or v1?

The previous planetops will work fine - the new one contains improvements but no new aircraft.

So do we get the planetop file from the Elf??? [&:]

As soon as he has them ready.

You can start a new game without them and everything will work fine. Just down load them when they become available.

Jim,

The 'supplies required' is a very weird estimate within the game.
We have studied this and no base ever uses (in a non combat situation) the 'supplies needed'.
So all those bases on the US West coast will not use 30,000 supplies a month. It will be a fraction of that.

Hope that helps,

Mike

Part of the update will be the addition of several new bases, as well as map and terrain changes.

Although CHS version 1.02 is about to be released, there will soon be ANOTHER update to the CHS scenarios. I am partway through a map update, and I hope to complete it in the next few weeks. Part of the update will be the addition of several new bases, as well as map and terrain changes. When the update is complete, I will be updating all of my scenarios, and the CHS scenarios, to add the new bases.

Apart from the map changes and new bases, another possible change involves supply levels for the Japanese and the Allies. I am currently running an AI vs AI test of CHS, to see whether the supply levels are OK. IF they need adjusting then I will do that and add it to the CHS scenarios as well.

The timeframe for these updates will hopefully be 2-3 weeks. I have suspended my PBEM game both to wait for these changes and to allow me time to do them.

If anyone starts a game with CHS version 1.02, they will still be able to install my new map when it is released and use it. They wil get the benefits of the map changes, but they will not get the new bases.

Just thought I would let people know about this.

Andrew do you have a new list of your soon to be changes??? [:)]

1. There is now a river between Singapore and Johore Bahru
   
2. The reef hexside immediately to the West of Palau was not represented in the
   map data. Fixed.
   

1. Coastal swamp hexes can not now be used for the landing or picking up of
   ground forces, unless the hex contains a base. This has been achieved by
   converting these hexes to land or ocean hexes, depending on the nearby
   terrain.
   
2. A few rail lines, which were narrow gauge and/or low capacity lines, have
   been "downgraded" by converting the corresponding map data to road, and
   by using a new graphic for "Secondary" rail lines. The most significant of
   these is the central railway in Malaya, running South from Kota Bharu.
   
3. The transport network in India has been modified. The rail link from Raipur
   North through the forest hexes has been downgraded to a "Secondary" line
   and truncated. A smal number of new rail lines have also been added in India
   due to the addition of several new bases.
   
4. The coastal road in China, between Swatow and Wenchow, has been removed.
   
5. Several roads in Northern China, near Lanchow, Tatung and Yenan, have been
   downgraded to trails.
   
6. The transport link in the hex to the Northeast of Chungking (43,31) has been
   converted from trail to road.
   
7. The transport link in the hex containing the base of Rahaeng in Siam (31,36)
   has been converted from trail to road. This should make it a bit quicker for
   Japanese units to march to/from Burma.
   
8. The hex containing Hong Kong (43,42) has been converted from clear to urban
   terrain.
   
9. The transport link in the hex formerly containing the base of Takao in
   Formosa (47,46) has been downgraded from road to trail.
   
10. A number of base names in the Dutch East Indies have been changed:
    
    
    
    • Bula -> Boela
      
    • Banjarmasin -> Bandjermasin
      
    • Macassar -> Makassar
      
    
    
11. The road between Bandjermasin and Balikpapan has been truncated, so that
    these two bases are no longer connected.
    
12. The base of Yanam in India has been moved to hex (22,21) and renamed Vizagpatam.
    

1. A number of new base locations have been added in India: Poona (19,12),
   Cuttack (27,22), Agra (28,11), Cawnpore (28,13), Gwailor (27,11), Jaipur
   (26,9), Madurai (13,21).
   
2. An atoll has been added in the location of Male, in the Maldives (5,22), to
   provide the option of adding a base here.
   
3. A trail now links the Lamon Bay and Manila hexes in the Philippines.</li>
   
4. A new base location has been added for Skagway in Alaska (122,28), and the
   railway between Whilehorse and Juneau now terminates here.
   
5. A new base location has been added for Whittier, in Alaska (114,28) and a
   railway connects this hex to Anchorage.

Why this change?

Whatever happened to the engineer vehicles in the US Engineer Regiments?

Regarding CHS 1.0, the "Task Force" pop-up screens, "Return to..." icons/buttons:

TFs based in SE Asia's area default to either "Return to Auckland" or "Return to SF" vice "Return to Middle East".
TFs based in the general Australian area default to "Return to SF" vice "Return to Sydney".

This results in very annoying and time-consuming clicking.
Is there a fix to this issue pending? Does your ANZAC/Australia/India HQ mod fix this?
Thank you!

Well, I am still working on it, but here is the list so far. Note that some of this may change if it doesn't work out in playtesting. I am also not sure how many bases should be added to India. maybe not as many as I have listed here:

I like the rule for the first units but I would agree that once you have enough for a bridgehead, you should be able to move units in without the shock attack. But, they did not program it that way, sooooo ..... It also does not help that the follow command is not working as advertised, maybe when they get that fixxed then the shock attack might not be so bad.

'Engineer vehicles' in the game we are told do not represent engineer vehicles.

They are just a convenient way to show the allied engineering capacity.
So there is no direct corolation between real TOE and engineer vehicles in game.

Also what about Thailand Army and all other regiment size formations which was formed by IJA in the occupted territories. There was a lot, they had even regiment formed only with Indian women!!
