RHS Eratta Courtesy Update Plans

[el cid again]

I am off these three days. I plan to complete EEO, fold in eratta (done), and add experimental land and sea barrage balloons to a few units.

Utilities found two class errors - one that matters somewhat (South Dakota has no facing for a major turret) - two ship errors (one of them the South Dakota) - and 13 leader errors. These all seem to be current - which means the basic data is clean.

AIO only has 6 to 13 port errors for inland waterways (fewer in Levels 5 and 6 than in 7). These matter - for this scenario the ports mess up AI.

I found one duplicated German submarine, and one missing German submarine. I changed the dates of many German submarines - and the locations for two. There is now considerable difference by level and scenario for these vessels:

a) There are NO German submarines in Level 5 (other than Ro-500 - an ex U boat)

b) CVO and BBO families - and ALL Level 6 scenarios - have "strictly historical" uboats. Mainly that means the boats reach Penang or Batavia on the historical day they really did. But in two cases - where the subs were sunk on the map itself - subs that never reached Penang are allowed to appear there in time to reach their operational area (near Aden) in time to get sunk/sink targets or both.

c) EOS family in Level 7 ONLY gets some additional vessels which operated significantly in the Madagascar area. They appear in time to reach that area for their significant operations.

This is a courtesy update - and except for AIO it isn't necessary to worry about ongoing games.

I will be calling for test games - and the Allied Tag Team needs to assemble - because Mifune and I are putting together a initial turn. If you want to run a personal test game - tell me the scenario you want to investigate - and from which side?
