Eratta for RHS x.755 Uploaded

[el cid again]

Slot 1037 is now used for IJA 10th Division. This formation starts in Manchukuo and points at formation 911.
EDIT: Changed to 10th Mountain Gun Regiment. 10th moved to stock slot 1295 (because sometimes stock slots have hard code in them).

Slot 1072 is now classified as artillery vice infantry. All other mortar units are already artillery.

Slot 1033 has added 30 motorized support squads and 18 field guns (total 36 in slot 7 - identical weapon to slot 6 because we use combined devices for the regimental guns and field artillery) to 2nd Division, but reduced the initial supply to 1242.

Note: 10th Division is deemed too important to omit (never mind it has always been omitted from all forms of WITP).
For this reason there will be one more update to RHS Level 6. Nothing wrong with getting the rest of the eratta in there as well. But it is hoped this is the final release for Level 6.

Ship slot 5358 adds USN LST 726 on 441026 @ New Orleans for Level 7 and on 441105 @ Colon for Levels 5 and 6.
Ship slot 5359 & 60 add USN LSTs 727 and 728 on 441106 @ New Orleans for Level 7 and on 441116 @ Colon for Levels
5 and 6.

Ship slot 2944 corrected to Ningpo Junk Group located at Ningpo (location 383). The former name/location belong to ROC and are duplicated on the Allied side - making this unit useless as it would not appear.

Air group slot 1823 should be called VB-3. This machts nichts in EOS as it is 9999ed out. It matters in the other scenarios because it is assigned to USS Saratoga and its name should be right. [In EOS the VB and VS squadrons
are combined]

[el cid again]

Location 2854 UK 7th Armored Tank Brigade changed to Aden 420215 in EOS scenarios (same as non-EOS).

Location 2840 changed to RAF 221st Forward Air Station at Location 444.
Location 2848 changed to RAF 222nd Forward Air Station.
Location 2866 changed to RAF 223rd Forward Air Station.
Location 2887 changed to RAF 224th Foreard Air Station.
Location 2950 eliminated.


The above units were triplicates!

Location 143 changed to Location 445 (Rangoon).
Location 3363 eliminated [duplicate unit]

Location slot 189 (RIN Naval HQ) should be UK SE Asia command - and it is not in any scenario - so it is a problem - showing up as Japanese for some obscure reason.

Location 1430 (IJA 31st Division) revised to location 484 (Bangkok) - given a delay of 430322 - and experience reduced to 55. This appears to be an inherited error in all respects - it should not start the war - it did not form in Shanghai - and it should not be rated as a high experience unit (although its reserve regiments had served for some time in other divisions so it isn't exactly low either).

Slot 149 (RAF 3rd Tactical Air Force) advanced in date to 19 Dec 1943 and relocated to India (from Aden).

On the assumption that any fix from Matrix will take a while

and on the basis of detail analysis of the "disappearing unit problem"

[which almost exclusively involves UK/CW air support units and HQ]

and because we have more information from the Forum about these units

I am moving all those that are a problem (in the Eastern map area) plus UK 7th Armored Tank Brigade

to enter at a different point. I am taking the opportunity to rework the Aviation support units once
again, and attempting to somewhat improve the model we are using, thus:

units that pretty much are tied by political considerations to defend a location are fixed

units that support a true wing are increased in capacity to 48 machines

units that support only a squadron are decreased to 16 machines

SAAF and RCAF (and probably RIAF) gain mobile forward station units

etc.

I plan to release a hopefully functional x.755 within 24 hours. Note that Levels 5 and 6 are not affected by this problem - but will benefit from enhancements. If this works - it is the final release for 6 (at last).

The RCAF Western Air Command is treated as a Group HQ by the definitions we are using.
The stations at Whitehorse and Fort St John are reduced to squadron support levels. The larger bases at Edmondton, Calgary and Vancouver are of Wing (= US Group) size. [Each wing has a forward station - the two at Whitehorse and Fort St John and initially also Victoria] Western Air command appears at Victoria, freeing up the No 1 Forward Air Station for another task. There is also a combined RCN/RCAF unit at Coal Harbor which includes 1 squadron worth of support - and the RCN unit at Prince Rupert also has 1 squadron worth of support.

RAF 223 Group starts the game as 1 Indian Air Force Group - so it is now a dual unit.

RAF 225 Group starts the game as 2 Indian Air Force Group - so it is now a dual unit.

RAF 226 Group is added as a redesignation of CW Malay Aviation - but it is a support unit rather than a HQ proper.

Location slot 2409 Sarawak Force converted from static coast defense unit to a mobile ultra light infantry brigade. This unit has two battalions - apparently 1 Commonwealth and 1 Indian - probably with only the lightest of heavy weapons (e.g. mortars). I added a platoon of sappers to each battalion. Since a brigade divides into two parts, this is a nearly perfect representation.

Location 2533 KNIL Amboina Fort eliminated - duplicate unit.

Location 3429 KNIL Amboina Fort - aviation support increased to 40.

Adding Location 2478 Vizagapatam Coast Defense Fortress. Note this and most similar formations redesignated as Indian Army vice Indian Navy - and most are dual IA/IAF with an organic EAB able to support 16 aircraft.

RAO Location 3349 RAAF no 106 Base force it`s located wrong at 33,124. I guess it should be Melbourne.

Should be 762 Davenport Tasmania 33, 122 - and is in 5 of 6 Level 7 scenarios. Same 762 is a different hex in other map systems. Always say the Level - as it matters - unless the note applies to all levels.

[el cid again]

Command radius of British/CW type Air Groups is increased to 4, and Tactical Air Forces to 5 hexes.

Vast numbers of air support has been eliminated in one way or another for British/CW forces. You no longer can disregard where you have it in the way you could before. This will even impact defense of places - because huge squad counts matter.

[el cid again]

All the above material - and related matters not documented - is folded in. We should have a go for Level 7.
Levels 5 and 6 will upload in due course, after packaging (and half a work day of work).

Once again, we will not issue an update unless something important (as disappearing units seemed to be) occur.
We don't have a proper fix - I simply moved them to where they will not disappear for now.
