The only way to possibly track down the issue with the CVPs is to provide before and after saved game files.

Yes. At a minimum, the before GAM files.

If it happens again I will be ready for it and have the saved files. The first time it happened I had to wonder if I was imagining things. By the third time I knew absolutely it was real but had not saved the file. If it happens again, I'll have it.

In this game, that I am playing now, US Navy carrier planes are changing between turns. It's happened three times, and even with those not currently based on a carrier. I'll have the fleet filled up with aircraft, and when I start the next turn and look back on them, all of the aircraft are older models, and the carriers are not even filled to capacity. Not trying to bitch here guys, looking for information, and possible fixes. At the least, that the next update will fix these problems.

At the start of a new year the carrier air units may get 'reduced' so they fit on smaller carriers. See Players Manual Volume II, page 143. Also see Players Manual Volume I, page 193.

@fair etc..

there is a common notion that the MST-prng has a tendency to be streaky, thereby causing sequences that do not agree with the expected conditional means. I have some evidence and it is somewhat concerning.. , but it is by no means predictable and therefore not attackable. Statistically it is by all standards (still) random.

For my personal judgement that is the measurement to apply. If my opponent can predict my die roles I feel exposed.. if my die roles are streaky but unpredictable I dont. I just fell bad .. for my-self that is..

Coming from that point, I dont think that a "better" source of entropy is a remedy to the perceived notion of unfairness.

p.s.: If it helps at all, I have received the most brutal results not by pseudo-random-generated dice.. but by dice-towers when my opponent looked me right into the eyes ;)
