Non-scenario specific house rules

[Andrew Brown]

Is there a comprehensive change log for all the changes made to CHS. I have been to the site and see several info area but they don't seem to list say for example the OOB changes etc for all nation? I take it this is a work in progress.

It is very much a "work in progress" instead of a completed mod, although there really isn't any "progress" on CHS these days. Nearly all of the original regular contributors have moved on, and nobody has taken over the coordination of further scenario updates. It is supposed to be playable in its current form though.

And sadly, as is often the case, documentation is always the last thing to be completed...

Having said that, I am compiling a list of bugs in CHS that I intend to fix. This is just bugs, plus a few tweaks - not enhancements or new features. So there should be another CHS update out fairly soon, alomg with a map update which fixes two faults that have been on my map "fix list" for ages - putting Mandalay on the proper side of the river, and the railway in Cambodia.

A lot of these rules could have been wiped out by implimneting a decent Chain of Command model. For example: Watchtower didn't start until AFTER SoPac HQ was established and in Noumea. But in the game you can move practically any unit from just about any command and park them on the Canal from day 1.

I agree. I would love to see a proper chain of command added to WitP.

Note that I removed SOPAC (and SWPAC) from the US at start forces in CHS, but as you say this doesn't translate to a real handicap for Allied players.

For the newer players.[;)]

The more I play with the airfield stacking restriction, the more I like it.
You don't need any air to air/ flak mod when playing this way.[;)]

You'll see very few bunny stomps in the air unless you can organize coordinated strikes with other airfields.

Bump

Before this thread get buried again under a myriad of posts.[;)][:D]

Bump for players now realizing that there are a lot of exploits concerning this game and it's mechanics.[;)]

We need a sticky for this inflamatory thread.[;)][:D]

14. LCU's belonging to the Kwangtung Command may not leave Manchuria unless PP's are
No India Command LCU's may leave India/Ceylon unless it's HQ is changed.
Only India Command LCU's that start in Burma are exempt from this rule.
(CHS addition)
Play balance feature.*

Stock game doesn't have an "India" command...only a Southeast Asia Command, to which India and Burma both belong. How do you keep Indian SEA command units from being deployed to the Burma area of the the SEA command and why do you do this?

Couldn't this comment also apply to house rules (at lest some of those we've seen posted)?

I'm wondering if the list on the first page of this thread still includes stuff that is now irrelevant based on the latest patch?
