Why specifically do you like Russia active for scen 105? What game enhancement does it entail?

Also, engines cost 18 HI not 1 and a planes cost is 18 per engine in addition to the price of the engine. So a 2 engine interceptor is 18x2 for engines and 18x2 for airframe (72 HI) compared to 36 for single engined.

Galland: yes, but it is not as bad as you think. Each Ref produces 16 fuel per day and Japan starts with a deficit of only 20k fuel per day. Which means you only need to capture 1250 ref and the oil to feed them (there are about 3000 or so in the DEI, including 1500 oil just in Balikpapan) so there is really no worry at all about fuel.

and think about this, the Japanese AT START produce 23,000 HI points per day (each factory produces 4 HIpts), and is running a resource surplus, all this is before any conquests. Add in the 58,000 daily supply production, and there is no worry at ALL for the Japanese economy. What it means is, you can just capture Balikpapan and run your economy at about 50% greater output than you can in Scen 2, for the entire war.....


RHS prefers Russian Active Scenarios - but presents half in Russian Passive mode because

1) AI does not understand Active Russians - so the scenarios designed for AI play (102 and the future 106)
must be passive;

2) Some players prefer to play in the way the got used to in stock and do not understand why we find that
so frustrating? Our philosophy (see the WITP Manual Mifune created in WITP days) always was "power to the
players" - or possibly more properly - "choices to the players." For this reason, 101 is IDENTICAL to 103,
except the Russians are passive in 103. 101 is the way I like it - 103 for anyone who prefers the other way.
Similarly, 102 is IDENTICAL to 104. 102 MUST be passive (designed for AI play) - but 104 is the other way
for anyone who wants "simplified RHS" WITH active Russians. 105 has no passive counterpart - and so far no one
has indicated any interest in such a thing. See below for the reasons why the advantages to the Allies are so
great that in a Japan Enhanced Scenario, no one wants a weaker hand to play.

The REASON Mifune and I preferred Russian Active scenarios (except where players cannot play each other and must
use AI or nothing) are listed below:

A) It seems to us completely unfair that Japan may attack the USSR any time it wants to - but the Russians
have no similar decision option - no matter what the circumstances may be? You have no control over air
units so you get little warning of an attack. You cannot pre-emptively attack a detected enemy invasion -
which in fact you are not likely to even detect in the first place. You must watch passively during the
initial invasion - until code releases control to you. Some areas you control don't count as "invasion
areas" - so some incursions may go on for some time - never mind you nominally control them. In an
active scenario, you may move everything all the time - and hostile enemy acts release 100% of your forces
for attacks as you see fit instantly (if indeed you didn't actually attack first to pre-empt) Active
Russians is intended mainly to overcome this structural feature of stock scenarios - and put the Allies
on equal footing with Japan in the North. No - you are not at war in 1941. But why should Japan have
complete power to decide if and when and where that changes? Our conception is that, over time, the
chances of a Russian attack increase - as both Soviet forces increase by reinforcement and the political need
to worry about the War in Europe declines. This general situation should be integrated by the actual
situation on the ground in game terms. Japan is the enemy of Russia, tried to annex Eastern Siberia (and
occupied it) after the Revolution, and has long planned to invade it (with 14 divisions and as much again
in non divisional formations) - all that before wartime expansion of the IJA (which is considerable on
the mainland). Manchuria itself was taken from Russia by force of arms! Before that, Russia lost a contest
to control Korea and the Liaotung Penninsula. If an opportunity came along to hurt this long standing enemy
- particularly if there is no longer a German Army threatening Moscow, Leningrad or Stalingrad - I think
even an invasion might be considered. By opportunity I mean Japan has denuded the area of defensive troops
and air power. Could or would Russia resist? Maybe not. IF you want the power to decide, you need active
Russians.

B) In a passive scenario, the "garrison requirement" ONLY applies to land unit squad totals. There is NO
requirement for aircraft in Manchukuo at all. We prefer a "real world deterrent" in which the Japanese
must worry about a Soviet incursion if they have too few forces in the area. In particular, we believe this
means they will never, ever dare send all the planes to other theaters. Since aircraft and pilots are so
critical to combat power in AE, we believe this is a much more realistic way to operate. Japan isn't "safe"
for years in an active scenario. Since Soviet reinforcements are significant over time, this means the
need for a garrison (air as well as ground) increases over time - even if Japan is hard pressed to do this.
I personally also regard it as unethical to move any of the local (Imperial Manchukuo) troops or air units
out of the country, or any of the many "Kwangtung" divisions and brigades which are raised during the war.
Their title implies to me they are meant for service in the Kwangtung Army.

C) In a passive scenario, IF the Japanese prepare to attack Russia, the Russians are FORCED to be passive -
usually for days. They also cannot run recon and search missions to build a picture of any potential threat.
They also cannot control where fortifications are built or where units are stationed. They have no option
to make a pre-emptive attack. And they are not even allowed to respond to the initial attack until their units
become unfrozen. That depends on a complicated bit of code involving measuring the number specified hexes
which have been invaded - and when they were invaded? These cumulative disadvantages are significant.

D) In a passive scenario, compounding the issues above is the matter of controlling air units. In an active
scenario, the Allies may not only build up airfields where they want to, they can control what air units are
at each one? They can control what type air units upgrade to, and when? They can fly actual air missions
to train pilots or conduct recon or search, or transport supplies to a place that needs them to feed units
or build up industry or infrastructure. Since air power matters, this is a significant advantage of the
Russian active scenario approach

E) In a passive scenario, the Russians may not control the Russian Navy. This is particularly awkward with
respect to distant locations which may only be "fed" (or exploited for resources or oil) by sea. Note also
that in RHS the stock "pipeline" from North Sakhalin Island does not exist per se. It is replaced by
different mechanisms: there is something like it during Winter - when "ice roads" link the mainland to the
area; there is the possibility of using ships in Monsoon and Fall - and a realistic number of tankers to move
oil in. Only during the short, two month long Spring season (called 'breakup' in Northern climates) is both
land and naval unit impossible. But in a passive scenario - no Russian ships can move the oil - nor service
Kamchatka - nor the Komandorskie Islands - nor the settlements on the Sea of Othosk - nor the distant
settlements on the Bering Sea.

F) Compounding D above, RHS features realistic Arctic navigation in the Monsoon and Fall seasons: most of
the supply of the far North - and most exports of resources - occurs during the short Fall period during
which ocean ships may move deep into the interior of Siberia and North America. There are four navigable
rivers in RHS - two on the Bering Sea (one on each side - the Russian one being six times the flow of the
Mississippi)open during Monsoon and Fall seasons and two more in the Arctic Ocean (the mighty Lena in Siberia
and the Mackenzie in Canada). Apart from their utility to their owners to move supplies and units in numbers
for defense, they also are threats - potential invasion routes for Japan. Even in a passive scenario Japan
can invade using them - but only in an active one can Russia do anything about it before code releases units
to function. [Historically the US Army built a base at Barrow to detect an invasion of this sort.] Players
who want to ignore the Arctic in RHS may do so - but it might be a way to score victory points for an auto
victory if Japan is close and needs to get more where the multiple is high but the defense marginal. I believe
that the huge Russian forces in particular benefit greatly from being under active management in several respects,
including this one.

As the above considerations make clear, almost all the effects of active Russians benefit the Allies. Russian
aircraft may track Japanese units and ships at sea - at modest risk of loss - creating a picture otherwise
not available to the Allies until and unless Allied forces operate near Japan itself. Russian armies may move
move freely among different potential front line areas - not only in the USSR but in RHS also in Sinkiang
and another province which are under Soviet control. The Allies can decide what supply/resources (etc) controls
to set so they build stocks where they want them? They may upgrade air units and control their training rates
and areas of expertise assigned to improve by training. They may upgrade ships as well as send them to sea
(although this is risky because code does not know there isn't a war on - and I recommend it be done by agreement
with the Japanese). If Japanese air units attack (which they will do if a player forgets to assign a target when
a mission is ended because some "bandits" were wiped out - we have the Northwest Anti-Japanese Army in RHS to fight)
- the Russians may conduct a reprisal raid. All of these advantages should be welcome to thoughtful Allied players.
And because they get all of them, the Allies should not abuse these powers they have because it is a Russian
Active scenario - and would not have if it was not one.

Hi

In Dei is enough oil for Japan HI but enough for the navy ?
I hope the IJN Navy Fleet have enough Fuel to operate in late game...

In RHS Test game have Val DB,Betty TB,Nell TB, (Greif HB/DB) 1 x 60 GP Bomb for Ground Attack not many ???


This latter is a bit of a display - it is part of 1 x 60 kg Ground Support Package - which in theory models
four 60 kg bombs. Note that RHS exploits AE code changes permitting weapons by target type. So we have
addressed the problem of air power vs ground units by using special "ground support packages" instead of individual
bombs. There is a code problem in that one bomb - regardless of size - may kill one squad or vehicle or gun if it
hits it? Pretty much without regard for the data about the bomb or the AFV. We put in the data in case the code
is modified as it should be. But the basic model is 1 bomb = one possible destroyed target squad - which is
preposterous. So we reduce the chances of troops losses by pretending 4 bombs are one and by giving that 4 bomb
device a fairly low hit probability. Ground troops are spread out and sometimes fortified or armored - and not
nice clear targets like ships, airfields or even factories are. I am not clear about how this display issue
occurs - but if you look in the editor you can see the actual loads.

Now as for production, things are somewhat more complicated than they seem, and simplistic analysis is in important
ways misleading. Production sometimes does not occur. In Japan's case, once start of game stocks run out -
if the player has not imported more - industry will shut down until that changes (which may be never but often
is every few days it turns on for a day). Stock has fictional resource centers of gigantic size in the Home
Islands - RHS does not: import or die. In RHS Test Nine Alpha, the Japanese tag team (of professional soldiers
and airmen) failed to allocate enough shipping to moving resources and managed to shut down aircraft production
(and ships and AFVs and armaments, etc) almost completely - in Spring 1942! Another complication is that HI
points in the pools alone does not permit them to be used by industry which demands them. The details of how
that works is not understood by anyone (after 14 generations of programmers none of whom documented anything
until the current generation began to do so). But it is normal to have factories with no output in spite of
large numbers in the pools. [It appears that HI in the same hex helps - the local HI points are more likely
to result in local production for some reason.] It took years of testing, analysis and tweeking to get
the economy to function fairly well - in particular for the sake of AI games (because AI is an idiot). We at
last seem to have reasonable (if less than historical) production and growth.

Now as for fuel, we follow Parillo in the main (The Japanese Merchant Marine in World War II), apart from diligent
research location by location. There is MUCH MORE oil than Japan needs in the area. It also has significant
stocks in major ports - as much as 180 days in Japan itself - often 90 days - other cases 60 days - and every
location normally has 10 days of demand (or 20 days if an export center) of everything (unless there is a reason
why not?) The cumulative total of these stores mean Japan has time to capture oilfields (and refineries) and
to move their products IF it is wise enough to do that. The problem is not (and was not historically) related
to supply - it was instead moving the oil and fuel from where it is to where it is needed? This is a subset
of the general issue of moving resources and supplies from where they accumulate to where they are needed? In RHS
Japan must allocate significant amounts of shipping to these things or its industry will suffer. Most of the
"free supplies" (oil, fuel or resources) enters at the map edge - and is Allied controlled. What amounts there is
near Japan are severely limited and tied to some particular industry (often noted by words after the location
name in RHS - words like "fish" or "coalgas" or whatever. This helps players understand the important industry of
a location and why it may have a bit of "free stuff" not produced by industry that is visible (unless the enemy
enters the hex).

Instead of being worried about feeding the Japanese navy - our design focus was on feeding the vastly larger
Allied navies - and air forces - and armies - which enter the map by 1944. We found far too little of these -
and went to some trouble to insure that the Allies would have enough - and the shipping to move them. Near
the center of the map there IS considerable on map supply and fuel generation. This is substantially (99%)
industrial production. It makes capturing of locations because of what they produce, as well as for their
port and airfield potential, major strategic planning considerations. The Pacific is a logistical desert -
by and large - making the few points that produce things particularly valuable (New Zealand, New Caledonia,
Hawaii, etc). Australia is peculiar - only the SE has significant industry and road/rail networks. These
are also not sufficient to move enough to the major industrial centers - so just as in real life in that era -
ships are needed to move things from distant coastal points to the major cities. A major force can be supported
in SE, but elsewhere you need to send supplies and fuel by ship to support a major operation. Early in the game,
both sides are far more constrained by lack of shipping than by lack of things to move by ship. Later on, this
eases for the Allies - but even a Japanese player wise enough to focus on cargo ship and tanker production will
probably never expand effective shipping in service. The fleet - as in real life - is always shrinking - so at
some point expansion becomes impossible to support - and the economy impossible to build up unless players make
efficient shipping management decisions. The critical resource is the shipping - not the oil, fuel, resources
or supplies the shipping needs to move. The more efficiently you station units where they can get a significant
fraction of what they need locally the less you will be plagued by this problem.

RHS is deliberately a logistical management simulation. In strategic terms, Japan attempted to set up an autarky -
a self contained economic area. As Parillo points out - the SRA and China offer vastly more than is required to
that end. But the devil is in the details - can you make it work under the pressure of enemy combat operations?
Nevertheless, the enemy has his own problems: generally must longer distances to transit through areas with
almost no local production. One of the few great strategic advantages of Japan is interior lines. Another is
that the area has several times as much oil and resources as Japan needs - so it can exploit only a minority of it
and still build up stocks - provided it actually allocates the shipping required to that end. Players usually
allocate too much shipping to military operations and too few to moving oil and resources and fuel and supplies.

Thanks to a bit of help from our new map artist, we have an alpha
which corresponds to a revised (and "complete") tops file for the Axis.
The process of review and completion of the tops also caused me
to add some art to the sides file. Both tops and alphas will probably
be reissued after Mifune cleans them up in some respects - at least
that is the plan. But what we have here for the first time is a set
of three flilmstrips which are all in sync and which also include
all the available art I have been able to collect. Also changed
here are the aircraft data files - which are also in sync - because
I changed a half dozen pointers - permitting us to see both new
art and some old art we were not exploiting.

I have no play to add more aircraft types. Full RHS scenarios
(101,103, 105 and the almost complete 99) have a huge selection.
Simplified RHS (102, 104 and the long way to go yet Downfall
scenario 106) have significantly fewer, but still a very large number.
The intent with simplified was to reduce the need for players to
manage: it lacks trainers (except 10% where large numbers exist
and they have non-training mission potential) and obscure types
and types that had no realistic chance of wartime service.

I do plan to issue updates of the art panels - and possibly to re- point
aircraft records if new art becomes available for cases where we share
art because the exact art isn't available. This mainly will involve
cleanup and similar things beyond my ken, if and when Mifune is able
to get it done - or if some other art becomes available. But this is at least
completely functional in terms of displaying Axis tops.

My focus will now shift to dealing with the Allied air art. While there is
almost twice as much, it was revised by Mifune later in time than the
Axis was, and needs relatively fewer tops to be added. It will take
a few days probably - but it might take only one.

Apart from three Japanese filmstrips and the aircraft data files,
four documentation files are updated (Plane Lists 1, 3, 1 (JAAF)
and 1 (JNAF).

I have developed a process under which I issue simultaneous sets of
filmstrips in sync with each other - side, top and alpha. Further, the
alpha is "clean" - so the new Allied alpha does not need "cleanup"
as the Japanese one does. [Mifune is working on cleaning up the
Japanese one]. Here we have the already nice Allied one with additional
plane art added - but it is "clean" - because I started with source art
and found a mechanism that permits adding it to the older filmstrip
so a new one does not have to be created.

This is a pure air art update:

only three Allied air art files
and the aircraft data files
and the supporting air art documentation files

have changed.

Types added or modified include:

The Fleet Air Arm Swordfish has a new side WITHOUT a torpedo. By 1941
this aircraft has been fitted with (heavy) radar, rocket launchers, and hard
points for depth charges - and cannot carry a torpedo. So we have two
different kinds of Swordfish now - FAA and RAF - with the FAA one not
showing a torpedo in art it does not have in the data either. Only the side
changed. It is new, done this year by Mifune.

The ALLIED Ju-52s had top art and an alpha added so it can be seen.
Originally done for Eurasia Airlines, by 1941 nationalized by the ROC,
it is also used by Guinea Airways - and is shared by a different
trimotor as "the nearest art available."

A number of larger aircraft already defined had dedicated art added -
and the aircraft files merely repoint at it. This includes the JRM-1 Mars,
the RAF Lincoln (art also shared by RCAF and RAAF), the FAA Seafox
observation floatplane, and Whitley in both land bomber and patrol bomber
variations. [Never serving in PTO during WW2, this aircraft only appears
in Japan enhanced scenarios - on a date after they were scrapped - on
the theory that they would be useful in India pending production of more
advanced aircraft.]

A larger number of existing air art panels are now pointed at by
aircraft types - in particular the Lancaster's have been identified and
all of this art is now used - while none of it pretends to be a Lincoln
(which, indeed, is essentially a renamed, developed Lancaster).

Having devised this new way to make filmstrips - and collected an art library -
and documented what needs to be done - this process now should speed up.
Allied art is in pretty good shape - but needs to have some large planes
added - including the B-36 and other possible late aircraft that might
appear in a campaign extended into 1946. [RHS ends at the end of
Monsoon 1946 except for the not yet completed Downfall Scenario - which
ends at the end of Monsoon 1945 and is a somewhat simplified scenario.]

First, this update contains cleaned up versions of the 3 Axis aircraft filmstrips.
This was done by Mifune (which is to say properly, by an artist). I made the
sides and tops, and our map artist made the alpha.

Second, this update contains the "final" Allied filmstrips - insofar as they
are completed and in sync with each other. This time I made all three -
and this time the alpha is "clean" instead of "dirty." However, there are
things that are inherited less than ideal - and one photo I used since
I don't draw art (look up the Boeing 314 flying boat - the side works even
if not art). Mifune will clean this up in due course.

Third - there are new aircraft files. Mainly changing pointers. The P-50 has
reworked data (scenarios 99 & 105 only). Two new types - a land plane
version of a Navy float search plane - which had art in the panel already
and which was at Pearl Harbor - so I put it in. And we got art for the US
glider and C-47 tow plane combination (made by Cobra for RHS/WITP)
because I can now copy the art and paste it at will.

Fourth - the RTAF Hawk II and III art from the Axis is now also used by
the Allies - both for RTAF and for ROCAF - moved from the Axis filmstrip.

Major planes added include C-99, B-36, B-30, B-32, C-54, C-82. Several
minor types now also have correct art.

I did a comprehensive review of gliders and AE. No other mod is using them
(as far as Mifune or I know). I worried that they might not work in the model -
in particular because they are "one way airplanes." This turns out not to
be very germane to the particular gliders actually used in PTO. The Waco
glider was in fact used for two way operations - in particular to rescue
downed fliers where no airstrip was available. It had a small mechanism (the
biggest part was a barrel) permitting snatching. I was aware of this because
of my father's role in supporting partisans in Yugoslavia - from North Africa -
which also included "pick ups" - both by the use of glider and by "trapese"
into the bomb bay of a B-17. USAF used this glider last - well into the Cold
War era - in the arctic - to pick up researcher dropped on the smaller
ice research stations. For its part, Japan only used gliders as transport
aircraft. Wether they use them historically - between airfields - or copy the
US technique - I leave to players in strictly historical scenarios. [There are
NO gliders in Japan Enhanced Scenarios. Not because they will not work.
Because Japan must win fast and cannot wait for gliders to be perfected,
and then glider troops to train on them. They go with lighter pure airborne
units instead.] Also, I expected to need to add US air units - and maybe
British ones - to use the new glider aircraft. Not so - the Brits - in spite of
having a unique "airborne division" which you would expect needed gliders -
used US transport assets instead. And the US assets are in the game -
you simply must re-equip a transport squadron with the tug and glider
combination if you want it. You essentially exchange payload for range -
and better own the sky if you want the gliders to arrive safely.

After a round to polish the aircraft - I will focus on maps and pwhexe files.

Then I will review and tie up loose ends in Scenario 99 (Mifune's radical
Japan Enhanced Scenario - one in which Japan builds with standardized
engine plants for about a decade before the war among other things -
and one in which there was no London Naval Treaty - so both sides
get some things not in strictly historical games).

Then I will review and try to complete the Downfall Scenario 105 - which
will be a mini scenario (Feb - September 1945) but full map. It starts with
the battle for Iwo Jima which permits doing the OB well.

Then we will think about if we want to attempt an extended map version of RHS/AE -
if the mapmaker is interested.

First, this update contains all six aircraft filmstrips. All filmstrips have some new art in them. I found that side art existed for the Wild Catfish (F4F-3S) float version of the Wildcat. Not put into production historically, it IS used in Japan Enhanced Senarios (and may be put on US CS type ships - all US AV were designed to be CS - all had catapults - but only USS Langley mounted them. I found some art of the BT-32 Condor which was used by Chiang Kai Shek and also by CNAC. I had to modify the art (removing text) - but was able to do that. I also had to solve the problem of a top - but I found a reasonable solution. Mifune made a Ki-10 - so this was added to the Axis Filmstrips. I also found A4N1 (I call it A4N1-K to indicate it is a trainer now) art on the altwars site - so this was also added. As well, all primary trainers began the process of removal from RHS Axis filmstrips (see attached document and text below).
To permit a graceful transition - I have removed all pools and replacements for primary trainers - but left the planes defined. Next time they will be deleted. Ongoing games in scenarios 101, 103 or 105 need to change the aircraft assigned to any Japanese group using them. There will be probably two more updates to air art. Mifune is making some. I have a bit more to integrate. And Mifune probably will clean up my Allied tops and alpha soon (but not just now - his eyes have a problem).
At least he is productive for the first time in a long time.

Aircraft file updates also include changes to pointers (for better or new art), new plane data for added types, and recalculated data in a couple of cases. There will be one more round of this.

Air group files were extensively modified for Full RHS Scenarios 101, 103 and 105, and slightly modified for simplified scenarios 102 and 104. This because Japanese trainer organization was revised to reflect lessons learned, and to simplify player management. Most significantly, the vast majority of trainer units were 9999ed out - including all small ones - in favor of larger ones that work better with code. The old RHS trainer OB was literal - my favorite way - but now it is semi-abstract because that will work better. See attached essay or the text below.

All Winter pwhexe.dat files were revised with eratta fixing the Tsugaru Strait, a hexside change preventing walking between two islands by an improper route in the Visayas,
and upgrading a secondary road at Canton which was somehow recoded as a trail. To this standard all other files will be updated, Fall season first (because it is the most out of sync, except for the Fall 1942 file, which was the last file updated. There will be more of these pwhexe updates until all are revised - mostly so the map art maker has a reliable standard to work with.

The Royal Thai Phayap Army (controlling most of the nations ground forces for the invasion of Burma) was added. A few technical OB corrections were made to the RTA units.

The most extensive work was done related to training air units (for Japan) - reducing the number of such units needing to be managed - and reassigning aircraft for some (where primary trainers had been used - these are now gone - and the art for them is dropped from the request list. For details see below.

AE Aircraft Trainers and Training Units

Nominally, there are no trainers nor training units in AE. De facto, both side have trainers in line air units when these were historically used for search, reconnaissance, or emergency fighters or bombers. As well, the Japanese have training air units with trainers when these served in the Kamakaze role – this usually only in Downfall scenarios. RHS is no exception in all these respects – and Kamakaze units are only present in the (not completed full map) Downfall scenario (106). I was not aware until this week that in beta test form, AE experimented with using training units for Japan – but the code didn’t work as required and it was more or less abandoned.

Experimentally, RHS re-introduced training air units in “Full RHS Scenarios” (those with odd numbers, 101, 103, 105 and the not quite completed 99 – which is issued for comments only). This is because the AE design more or less needs them, and because only if they exist do players have historical options (e.g. the decision in the Spring of 1945 to disband training units and dump their pilots into the pilot pools). Testing indicates there are several other functions of training air units. They are a good place to “store” aircraft which might be needed for combat later, but which will otherwise be scrapped if left in the pools. They provide a way to gain some control over the experience of pilots released into the pools and with specific skills. [The “release x pilots” mechanism in code works IF the pilots are above a certain experience level.] That said, if a historical order of battle is used, there is a lot of player management involved to achieve full benefit from these functions. As well, there are real problems with the way training units function which prevent a full simulation of the trainer order of battle. And it was found necessary to make training aircraft – and its supporting industry – automatic: otherwise players will divert trainer production to front line types and build no trainers at all. In “Simplified RHS Scenarios” (those with even numbers, 102, 104 and the future 106) – there are no training units and only 10% of trainer pools and production occurs (unless a player wants to spend engines and aircraft production capacity to build a model for some reason). This simulates the ability of the military to use training aircraft for military missions in an emergency – if they are useful. [Scenario 106 also will have trainers as modified for kamikaze missions and some trainer units on the dates they went over to kamikaze operations.]

Two years of testing and analysis has demonstrated it is possible to both simplify the training organizations (and the player time needed to manage them) while better modeling the real world within the limits permitted by code. This simplification involves a few changes in the direction of what stock did: all primary trainers are being eliminated (losing pools and replacements for new game starts, and converting the primary trainer slots for other types over time), losing all but one civil training organization (the large scale DNKKK program for transport pilots is retained, as is its 1944 expansion to feed military pilots), and losing all training units of squadron size in favor of group size. The result is fewer types of aircraft to manage, dropping requirements for primary trainer art, and significantly less than half (possibly around a third) of the number of trainer units to manage. “Management” here means checking the air units to see if pilots are ready to “graduate” – a function which IMHO should be both automatic and controllable (by setting the experience level for graduation) – but code does not do that. Pilots should ideally train as a class, and graduate together. In game terms, they mainly do so as individuals or very small groups. Also, training units should operate at different levels of experience: one should go from basic trainer to intermediate trainer to advanced trainer or crew trainer and then to type trainer (although this latter may be considered to be operational units of second string). But in practice a single training unit works until pilots are “ready” to go into the general pools.



AE Aircraft Trainers and Training Units Page 2

What is possible is to create a semi-abstract training organization. Basic trainers may be assumed to be present in all schools for various reasons, and in practice this is often the case. Schools that are pure training units all end up operating on a similar basis. Keeping them with “appropriate” aircraft is not really required, but good for flavor. Still – if you need to “hide” some planes from the pools (lest they be scrapped) but don’t want them in line units just now – you may convert a training unit to use them – and either let it fly (gaining pilot experience but losing a few to attrition) or suspend training (so there is no attrition loss). As well, if you assign an appropriate type, you will be able to control the kind of training you give pilots in the unit – if you want to focus on some particular skill (e.g. ASW or airfield attack) for medium term benefit of your air forces. Initial aircraft assignments will generally be intermediate trainers, crew trainers or obsolete or specialized combat trainers (indicated by the suffix K in naval services). The initial experience levels really only determine how long it will take before code begins to release pilots – all units end up the same in that respect. But at game start, it is the specialist advanced training units (with the most experience) that will begin to release pilots “soon” – while the least experienced (those with intermediate trainers) will take the longest to start dumping into the pools. Because trainers are “free” (unless you want more than history), you also will tend to keep intermediate trainers in use – since there may not be enough other aircraft to fill all the training units. But it isn’t actually required by the code to use a particular plane in a particular unit. Except for the name and service of a unit, it may be hard to know what the function of the unit really was? If you want to keep it strictly historical, respect the initial type assignment – and replace it appropriately. But it is all semi-abstract – and it will work to train pilots regardless of what planes are assigned.

Because the “graduation” rate is determined on a divide by 30 basis, and because the “get 10 new pilots” is the only way to get new pilots into a training unit, RHS now has all training units set as a multiple of 10, often 30. Larger units may be 50 or 60. Many start at 30 (group) and expand to 60 at a squadrons (now not in the OB) may have notes indicating what group they were assigned to? By not having a lot of small units, player management is simplified. And the chances you will have graduates when you look at a unit are much better if it has 30 pilots.

This micro-update mainly concerns air art and related pointers. That is, the six filmstrips and the aircraft data files were changed. There also were changes to
pwhexe files (ten are now fully current and one more has made progress toward
that end).

This is almost the end (it never really ends) of the process of updating air art.
Mostly I have cleaned up air art - tops in particular. Also I build a composite B-36B
from Mifune's post war test model and the common art project's B-36D - so as to
get more pleasing colors but no jet engines. Also I was able to kill the jet engines on the B-36D top and alpha - making a B-36B. [It may be the A was never going to be operational - and it never was for bombing work] I cleaned up some art for the C-69
Constellation - and used in instead of the Constellation bomber side we were using. I managed to kill the jet engines on a propeller top used with the jet engine side version of the P1Y3 - so now we have probably the world's best 1946 vintage jet bomber with the correct top for its side. Mifune found a TBD-1A - which is a floatplane - and so I added it to the art mix - and changed pointers so we no longer have a landplane pretending to be a floatplane. This is called the Sea Devastator. To that add we added the F4F-3S Wildcatfish last time. All of these projects only apply to JES scenarios 105 and the future 99 (which will be the next release).

FYI Japan Enhanced Scenarios have two functions: first is simply to let player play with planes and ship types not available in a strictly historical scenario. A lot of work went into adding these types - and if one wants something slightly different - it is one way to get it. second - it is really to achieve play balance. Scenario designers - if not players - realize how much the Allies will get in due course - and the war won't be very balanced for long. The first part is the Japanese onslaught - followed by relative parity by summer 1942. The more Japan has taken by then, and the more it can anti-up then and later, the longer it will remain a contest. From sometime in 1943, it becomes a hopeless affair - and I doubt an auto-victory is possible except in the first year. Besides alternate equipment, JES scenarios also feature alternate construction programs - using plans not implemented for various reasons. The vast majority - and the larger - of these are Allied projects not done because the war was not going as badly as it might have done. On the other hand, the Japanese, having interior lines, benefit from minor projects more - mainly connecting existing roads and rail lines into better networks. Finally, JES scenarios feature better planning. Japan had its own Albert Speer - its own plans for standard escorts (developed pre war) - and proposals exploiting existing organizations and equipment to form an armored corps in 1941 (by its best commander who had witnessed the German side of the Eastern Front) - but failed to implement them until after the fall of Malaya. It need not have taken as long to implement these plans. [Mifune's scenario 99 goes farther - going back a decade - scrapping the London Naval Treaty - permitting some interesting ships that never were for both sides. This I will do when my work on pwhexe is completed - it is now my focus - having whipped air art into shape.]

There will be changes to air art - but only substitutions generally - or adding missing art - but probably no types. The plane lists therefore are complete (except for possible changes to pointers).

Art isn't a problem per se. The Altwars site AE art (which was done for all AE mods and much of which we
use already) has it. RHS has multiple threads: this would not be appropriate for a 'strictly historical'
scenario (101 to 104 and the future 106 Downfall scenario already issued for comments but not yet usable);
it CAN be used in a Japan Enhanced scenario (105 and/or the future 99 - which is dramatically enhanced).
Now I can modify insignia - I did a lot of that in the strips released today - I could make them Japanese.
The main work would be in terms of data - but that is my forte.

The reason we don't do that is it was not done historically. But over time I have come to appreciate the
many connections between German and Japanese aircraft and aircraft engine manufacturers. I now can look up
the details of the FW-190 - so let me do that and report.

REPORT: Japan actually imported (the details of how must be interesting) a FW-190 A5 in 1943! They considered
putting it into production and tested it against their designs. The Allies became aware of this and assigned
the code name Fred to the type. So it IS possible to rationalize the 190 in Japanese service. I also have
no objection in principle because I believe most players will make the decision not to produce it vs domestic
for the same reasons Japan did: it lacks the range required for PTO operations. This is generally true for
fighters of German design origin or inspiration (e.g. the Ki-61). Earlier the Me-109 was rejected in favor of
the Ki-44 even though it would take a good deal longer to get the Ki-44 into production and the Ki-44 lacked
armor. It was so superior in speed, rate of climb and range there was almost no reason to consider the Me.
The He-100 was not only licensed for production in Japan, its engine was put into production and a factory was
built to make it in. But problems with delivery of the rest of the jigs - or the time needed to make them from
pattern aircraft already in Japan - ended up cancelling that plan. But RHS permits Me-109s and He-100s - because
they were licensed and because it was (eventually) possible to put them into production. It rejected the FW-190
because I was not aware it was licensed or that a pattern aircraft reached Japan. It could have been produced -
with a time delay. I will investigate adding it in the final round of air art updates (which is next). Further,
it can be added to all scenarios - it is a historical option. I let players have the chance to do what could have
been done - even if it is a mistake (which is mostly a matter of opinion - but I note few players put German
planes into production as Japan even when it is an option).

Armed with 2x20 mm and 2x9.2 mm guns (some versions nominally had two
more 20mm of a different type with only 55 rounds but these were rarely mounted
in Germany and that gun was not built in Japan at all), it could carry 3x551 pound
bombs or one plus two 300 liter drop tanks. The latter mitigate the range problem
of a European design in PTO. Its RHS maneuverability rating (based on a formula) is 28 - good but not great for late war work - and durability rating (also based on a formula) of 20 is rather good for a single engine aircraft (mainly due to size combined with all metal construction and protection). It also has respectable speed and rate of climb. But it is a balanced rather than outstanding in some respect design: many late war planes are faster, or have more gun power, or more maneuverable. But it is an option. It will be presented in all but Scenario 106 - the 1945 scenario is strictly historical and assumes the 1943 decision not to build is to far in the past to change.

You need to start with a working AE installation.

You should then run the installer. It should put things where they need to go.

However, it also should create all the files you need in folders.

If you see the RHS Installers folder, try the following:

1) Copy the ART sub folder to the AE ART folder

2) Copy the SCEN sub folder to the AE SCEN folder

3) There is also a pwhexe.dat file to copy. This is at the top level of the RHS Installers
folder. It is also in the PWHEXERHS sub folder. It is also a duplicate of 41WINTERpwhexe.dat
also in the PWHEXERHS sub folder - but in that form must be renamed to simply pwhexe.dat.
Copy this to the top level AE folder.

I have sent you my address by pm.

and when done - probably will issue an extended map version. This will take
a while - there are dozens of pwhexe.dat files and map art files to modify.
If the pwlink and pwzone editors had been available, we might have done
that to start with - but they were not. The RHS extended map version will include
a version of the Madagascar map we had in WITP days. It has been revised to fit
the new scale.

how can you tell this mod needs the extended map - just curious as i have it loaded up but didn't see any reference in cids early post about the maps that the extended map was needed (apologies if i missed it)

it would be helpful if maybe the first post could have some basic info about whats needed and how to install, what the status is and the latest link - only this mod seems to have so much to offer but is difficult to get into, particularly to us non-experts



Hi Gen Patton, thanks for reply;
The point is it is not working at all. I pointed the installer to my AE folder but when I run the game. it loads the intro screen with Halsey's image, the red bar loads. go into the video intro than all screen turns black

Once again we have a significant but air art focused update. All six
aircraft filmstrips are updated. Possibly the last such major revision.

One device was changed. Two new aircraft records were added
(P-65 for JES scenarios, FW-190 for all except the Downfall Scenario 106).

I was surprised by the FW-190. First, I didn't realize they managed to get
one (an A5) to Japan and tested it with serious consideration (in 1943).
Second - I didn't realize that starting with some A4 variations, they could
carry two 300 liter drop tanks. [I had to add one - but we had two different
330 liter devices - one not used - so I 'converted' one to 300]. Third, I
didn't realize the later versions could carry 3 x 250 kg bombs - quite a load.
It turned out to be a good all around aircraft - good range for escort -
good payload for very short range bombing (like all external load planes) -
fair maneuverability and durability. Wether it is worth it to buy in 1944
is a question I leave to players.

I was also surprised by the P-65. It was decided not to develop in - so this is
only an option in Japan Enhanced Scenarios when, possibly, a pressed US
made the choice to invest in it. [ If a player does not think so, ignore it -
as usual. Allied planes are presented as required by mechanics - and Allied
players do not get to choose what is produced? But they are never required
to use a plane for any reason - including they don't think it should be in PTO
at all. ] For the first time I was able to get information about it - not just an F7F
in Army colors. [My clue was it does not look like an F7F. It isn't, in spite of
common roots in the P-50 program.] It is slightly more maneuverable and
less durable (one point each by RHS formulas). It has slightly more altitude
and is really optimized as a high performance, high altitude "convoy" fighter
for bombers. Unlike the F7F, it does not try to be a carrier plane. [In RHS,
the F7F isn't either. It is too big for all but Midway class carriers and was
not able to qualify for any carrier for years after the war - due to lateral
stability issues on one engine.] It might be useful if the war lasts long enough.

Mifune cleaned up three Allied sides (i.e. removed D-Day markings). I cleaned up a few planes and also modified the FW-190 art to be Japanese vice German. The
FW replaced on of the primary trainers being removed from RHS.

Mifune and I identified an art issue - and so I re-pointed the Ki-21 IIb at Ki-21 IIa art -
and the Ki-92 at the art that turns out to be armed air transport art.

The attached plane lists are now "final" insofar as we do not plan to add any types.
The documentation will change only with respect to pointers as new or better art
becomes available. We will redo filmstrips for new or better art - but not for new
planes.

There is also a new seasonal pwhexe.dat file in this set.

* For these planes art should show bomb vice torpedo.
Note 1: Slot 699 Bitmap 100 - side faces one direction - top faces opposite direction.
Note 2: The float fighter carries a smaller bomb load to a greater normal range, and no bomb load to extended range. The float dive bomber and float ASW dive bomber versions carry the full bomb load to the standard normal range, and no bomb load on recon or search missions. All these are historical roles for the Pete.
Note 3: The Japanese wisely did not like the coupled engines of the He-177, but chose alternate ways to get enough power. The third Mitsubishi design is designated G7M1c to indicate third iteration. It is a twin engine, He-177 like aircraft replacing coupled engines with more powerful single engines. That means production must wait for development of such engines. The First Mitsubishi design is designated G7M1a to indicate the first iteration. This is a four engine bomber with a substantially He-177 body, but using independent smaller engines available sooner. However, it suffers from the added drag and loss of maneuverability of a 4 engine configuration.
Note 4: The G7M1d recon variant is a two engine aircraft identical to the G7M1c except there is only a top turret and a tail stinger and equipped with a 3D camera. The G7M1c recon variant is four engine aircraft similarly armed with and equipped.
Note 7: The use of a, b, c and d in the designation of a Japanese aircraft follows a practice of post war Western historians. The actual official listings are ko, otsu, hei, tei, and so on (there are 42 total). This is the traditional order in which the Hiragana and Katagana are memorized. Scholars think this corresponds to the traditional order of letters in English. Hiragana and Katakana are the symbols for syllables in Japanese for native and foreign words respectively: the syllable is the same regardless of how it is written? Writing the full Romanji is too long for our purposes given field length.
Note 8: A5M4 fitted with the weapons and drop tank of the A5M1a.
Note 9: Ki-44 modified with arrester gear and Navy 20 mm guns. The JAAF planned a similar modification (but retaining Army guns) for use on the Akitsu Maru as a CVE (See Ki-44 IIIc).
Note 10: Uses a mechanically supercharged Ha-5 engine. This is similar to a turbo-supercharger, but uses a direct mechanical gear drive. Historically, this engine was not put into production (for the A6M4). Instead, a more powerful engine was chosen (for the A6M5). In Full RHS Scenarios (with odd numbers), players may chose to build either or both the A6M4 and/or A6M5. In Japan enhanced scenarios, higher priority results in the A6M4 being made 6 months sooner. In Simplified RHS Scenarios (with even numbers), neither the MS Ha-5 engine nor the A6M4 is present.

981 2xKu-7 Gliders & Tug Heavy Gliders with Towplane 227 Not 105

Note 1: The bitmap for 518 is identical to Axis bitmap 142, but this is an Allied bitmap.
Note 2: Not used.
Note 3: The use of a, b, c and d in the designation of a Japanese aircraft follows a practice of post war Western historians. The actual official listings are ko, otsu, hei, tei, and so on (there are 42 total). This is the traditional order in which the Hiragana and Katagana are memorized. Scholars think this corresponds to the traditional order of letters in English. Hiragana and Katakana are the symbols for syllables in Japanese for native and foreign words respectively: the syllable is the same regardless of how it is written? Writing the full Romanji is too long for our purposes given field length. More below.
Note 4: The Ki-33 II is a Ki-33 modified for a 160 liter drop tank and wing mounted 20 mm guns inspired by the A5M1a experiment. Unlike the A5M4a, the JAAF elected to use Army model 20 mm guns. While the Ki-33 is nominally inferior to the Ki-27 in maneuverability, the composite maneuverability formula and its superior speed results in a slightly higher rating in this treatment. The Ki-33 is, in fact, a lightweight A5M1 redesigned to be extremely maneuverable because of JAAF requirements. The Ki-43 Id is a Ki-43 Ic similarly inspired. It is the same mounting as was used on the Ki-43 IIIb. The Ki-43 Ie is a Ki-43 Id using the Supercharged Ha-5 Engine of the A6M4. The effect of the engine is simply to change the altitude rating of the fighter.
Note 5: Ki-43 IIb & II KAI rearmed with 20 mm guns inspired by Ki-43 Id in Note 4 above.
Note Kk = Kamakaze in scenario 106

Most of the new files in this microupdate are pwhexe.dat files being updated
to the current standard.

However, aircraft files (other than scenario 106) are also updated with
respect to two eratta:

1) The JO-2 (found only in 99 and 105) is now carrier capable. That is
the point of the Navy P-38 after all. But I failed to check the box and
someone noticed. [I guess people look at these files.]

2) The above made me check the TBD-1A float version created at the
same time. Sure enough - I failed to uncheck the carrier box
or to check the float capable box.

There is also a redefinition of location 260 - Hirosaki - which
now is Hirosaki & Aomori - that is - the location gained port
facilities. Changes made in the latest pwhexe.dat standard isolated
the West and North coasts of NW Japan from the sea - so now
it is possible to have the port in its proper location. Apparently
the original idea was to have no port and a land hex prevent
seeming to 'sail through the land' from the Sea of Japan to
the Pacific. Now the added blocked hexsides mean that one
may only approach from the East - which is a both hexside -
so the port is now open on the same bay as Ise & Tsu are.
I reviewed industry and starting stocks in the hex and found the
industry is correct. The stocks needed re-calculation because
the port rates fuel being present.

There will be mainly pwhexe updates in the near term. We hope to be
getting dedicated to RHS map panels in a few weeks. These will start
with the Winter season - the same season that starts the game. Then
other seasons will follow. I will try to write a program to switch the
pwhexe files and the art files together in that time frame.

I also have tentatively decided to extend the RHS map. Not, however,
using Andrew Brown's Extended Map System - which I always assumed
we would use. In fact, right now, if you press the R key and the Y key,
you can see the areas we will be adding in the map edge area. These
"roads" and "railroads" to not work at this time. I propose to make them
work. Possibly even in ongoing games. While official material stated
that the pwhexe.dat file would not be possible to change in AE as it
was in WITP, in fact we can change it. That being the case, probably
our extended map will work even for saved games. In any case, the
RHS map system will make a better transition in this map edge area,
and not have the few "black" areas with roads but no art. The main
effect is to improve Allied logistics flow and control of units on the
approaches to off map locations. A secondary effect may be that it
will be possible for the Allies to send supplies to the USSR by the
Indian Ocean/Iran route - the RR is shown in our pwhexe files.
[That RR is not quite complete in 1941, but it is complete in later files.
There is a road route even in 1941.] Not that many players will use this
- it is in my view wrong that it isn't possible to do it. However, Soviet
units may NOT enter other allied territory, and vice versa, due to how
hard code works: this route will never permit troop movement. A later
feature of the extended map is that we may add a Madagascar panel -
if we can make ways to enter and exit that mini-map work for both
sides.

Status: offline 		Greetings Sid,

Glad to see the 190 in the new release!!
I noticed that the side art for the AG HTMS Pagan depicts a Yamato class ship and the top art for Axis I-16 is not showing properly;
Personaly I would like to see the top air art in the same style of the ones used by RA mod which IHMO added a nice flavor for air battles
But Iam ok with the stock ones for sure :)

Cheers

This update includes, as most will in the near future, updated pwhexe.dat files.
Right now we are doing the Japan Enhanced Fall seasons for out years. But
apart from doing also Spring and Monsoon, there is also a new Winter and
base (start of game) pwhexe.dat file (aka 41WINTERpwhexe.dat) - mainly to
clean up some mismatched hexsides in India and an undefined ice field in
Alaska (by Yakatat). These corrections will creep into all the others over time.
IF I am able to make off map hexes work - still other changes may fold in
for a few hexes. About this I am doubtful however: looking at Andrew Brown's
extended map files, it appears that map is only pseudo extended, and does not
actually work for all purposes and for both sides.

The heart of this update is a comprehensive if minor reworking of Axis air art.
That in turn led to changes in the aircraft files and the group files. I realized
that some missing art was within my competence to add - by route of modification
of existing art. I also theorized that some art might be found on the net - and
in one case I did: the MT-1 (Mansyu Transport 1) Hayabusa light transport was
able to be added as a type. This is a remarkable and successful small airliner
which we had been simulating with the K3M3 Transport version - which is very
similar. I was able to add the G3M2-KAI recon version (three squadrons surveyed
SE Asia by air before the war began) by removing insignia from other art. We had
unique Ki-71 and Ki-72 art - but in both cases the planes had retractable landing
gears which the artist did not realize: so I removed the fixed landing gear. Our
radar equipped Ju-88s (Ki-50s) gained Japanese insignia. I cleaned up the
Japanese insignia on one type (where someone had pasted it on surrounded by
a white square). The pointers were reversed on two types of B5M1s (not a typo,
this is not the Kate) - so the torpedo was on the wrong plane. I changed the pointers.
The RTN E13A1 Jake had two forms - I moved one unused type into the bitmap
we do use because it is better and used the unused bitmap for the G3M2-KAI.
The air art documentation also was updated - not just re these matters but also
in other respects where it was indicating needed work actually done already.

As well, several locations in Japan were reworked re starting stockpiles of resources,
oil, fuel and supplies. These are not always calculated on the basis of current
formulas - and generally are being somewhat reduced to insure Japan is more correctly modeled in terms of how long it has before stocks are exhausted. The
basic axiom is that each location has 10 days of local production (unless prevented
by damage or enemy occupation). Other rules define stocks where local industry demands it, where local ports import things, etc., and 1000 supply points per level of airfield and/or port. Major logistical centers get 100,000 additional supply points in
most cases.

The Yamato is the default ship art - it means the pointer is missing. Apart from typos,
sometimes the editor seems to zero out pointer fields. I will look at the class file.

The air art is a collection from several sources. Where it is very good, it was probably
reworked by Mifune, or created by him in the first place. He spends days (or months) on
single images - often just doing part of one. Some of it has origins in a common art project
for several mods (and probably other games using the AE format) found on the alternatewars.com
site. Some comes from stock. Some of it comes from WITP era RHS and was made by Cobra AUS.
Some of it comes from the internet - including the peculiar case of the Boeing 214 Clipper
side which is actually a photograph! And some of it has been modified by me - mainly using
existing art - but using an editor to correct problems (change German to Japanese insignia,
remove a landing gear, clean up bad pixels, etc). I have "created" new art - but not one
bit of it was doing what an artist does - drawing or painting etc. I find something to work
with and modify it until it is acceptable. Also, the Axis alpha was made by our new mapmaker -
because I did not know how to make one. After he did that, I figured out how to modify existing
alphas at will - so it looks like I create new ones - but actually I am just moving alpha's
around - or today - I modified one by my standard copy and paste technique. The point is,
the air art is something I manage as an editor, not create. It takes a lot of effort to make
new, original art - and I do not know how. I stand on the shoulders of giants - and use their
products - rather than create my own. I simply manage a gigantic collection - more or less twice
the size of stock - and it is of variable quality. If you (or anyone else) wants to spend
time making it more consistent or better in any sense - we would use it.
