RHS opponents wanted: closed

Both individuals and teams,

RHS Level 7

pick a side or a scenario - but I won't do Allied unless the Russians are active -

Medium or long term games wanted - a turn every day or two -

[emek]

Just installed RHS. I prefer to play Allied.
I prefer no house rules except Glen on Subs but i will consider them if you insist.

[el cid again]

What is a house rule "Glen on subs" mean?

RHS has not only Glen, but also submarine bombers M6A1 and recon planes on sub carriers late in the war.

I don't see how the Glen can not be present, but I have a problem with its being used all the time. So I
personally set it to 50 per cent search rate if there is good weather and no flying if there is bad weather
in the forecast. Also I think the range can be limited to 1 for search missions or 2 for recon missions.

I can send you an RHSEEO turn now - and am making an RHSRAO turn ETA Monday or Tuesday.
Advise by PM of address and scenario and setting preferences.

This thread is not closed yet. We need several tests to gain a stiatistical understanding of what is tested and
because there are several scenarios.

Hi El Cid,

John 3rd and I would be willing to tag-team you in EEO as the Japanese players if you are interested. I see you have at least two players ahead of us that would like to take you on so if your plate is now full we'll just have to read the AARs (which will probably be very good based on what little I read from your last start).

I ment using only sub compatible planes like glen. You do not have to limit yourself while using them.
If you have RHSEEO ready then lets start.

Hmmm - this is confusing - ALL RHS scenarios have the full Russian OOB. I assume you mean Russians active - probably RAO.
I will issue an RAO first turn - probably tomorrow - but I need an address - which should not be posted (nasty worms seek out addresses - send me a private message).

OK - I will so advise Mifune. We are working up a turn for the original Tag Team - but I don't know if it will be able to function - and it surely will be slow (with 7 players).

Well - I have to limit myself because that is my style: the code is not restrictive enough for me.

BUT you should know that this idea - Glens on the subs - ONLY applies to Type A and B (and earlier J3) subs.

I-400 and I-12 classes not only could operate M6A1 bombers - but DID operate NON SUB floatplanes for recon - and were at sea (a flotilla of four ships - two of each class) when the war ended - embarking 4 high performance floatplanes for recon as well as 6 bombers. I think there are NO restrictions on those classes - and the plane they carried is in RHS - the E16.

I do NOT have EEO ready - but I will make one - ETA Monday or Tuesday.

[el cid again]

This is enough for now.

Turn One for RAO is about to issue. A revised EEO Turn One will enter generation Sunday - which I am not working on - nor Monday - so I expect to complete it soon. I need an email address to send it to.

[cantona2]

turn received, will get it back to you over the weekend, things hectic this end

an intricately generated EEO turn one is done - but I need an address to send it to

[el cid again]

Only one game is actually going.

One or two others may start - but have not done so yet.

I have a new RHSRAO first turn - with various minor issues corrected - and a solid (but wholly untested) RHSEEO turn - ready to issue:

I need some test games to learn things that only playing will reveal. The one game going has been very useful. So have two games using the MAIO update service - but they don't show up often.

well, Ive been thinking that I should give your mod a chance. I might be willing to take one of those two turns. Which one would you prefer? Send me a PM and I'll give you my email.

This is a Japanese starting turn for RHSRAO - a strictly historical scenario identical to CVO -
the RHS interpretation of CHS or the stock campaign game - except the Soviets are active
so the Allies may move things around the USSR (not so there is a war early).

Plan A is a detailed implementation of Japanese doctrine - done with more care than was historically used (except by Yamashita in Malaya - where it is difficult to overstate the historical achievement - an offensive against numerically superior enemy forces which never faltered - although surrender came less than 24 hours before it would have been forced to pause due to logistic exhaustion: Yamashita used only 60 per cent of the forces allocated to him - on logistic grounds - and the weak Japanese logistic foundation makes this sort of thing vital). It is more or less "shock and awe" writ 1942 in Japanese terms - and it is designed to discourage an Allied player from the outset. The problem is that Imperial forces are overspecialized and - in many instances - far too thin in terms of specialist units: once anything robs Japan of these few units (even just to recover) the offensive will end and the Allies will probably obtain the time they need to build up a force able to compete.

A big difference between RHS and other forms of WITP is the number of bases and their facilities - which means the Allies start with a 4:1 advantage in victory points. That makes automatic victory (which requires 4:1 Japanese advantage by 1 January 1943) much more difficult to achieve - and I have never seen it - or even heard a rumor of it in RHS. The Japanese side cannot afford a war of attrition - except possibly in terms of infantry - but rather is forced to seek a war of great battles. PLAN A is intended to set up a classical Japanese starting position - sooner than history - as a foundation for phase two operations which never happened. It does not seek to go farther than Burma - Midway - or Darwin - and seeks to avoid war with the Soviet Union in this early stage of the war. Nevertheless - Kwangtung Army is preserved - both as a security hedge and because in strictly historical scenarios there are too few political points to transfer out and then transfer back many units. What happens after phase one depends on specific game events, but most likely would involve an offensive into the South Pacific - to obtain resources from New Caledonia - and isolate Australia from the USA. The idea is to delay as long as possible using Northern Australia to raid the vital NEI area.

I have almost no test games running (a total of only one) - and since I have a scripted plan that defines what to do - I can turn out turns in as little as an hour.

[el cid again]

A second RAO game has begun and it may be we will get one or two EEO games - and possibly one more RAO one. That is about hte limit - if they get going. Time will tell (it takes time to do a first turn well - and often you never actually get it)

[el cid again]

three more games started - we have five - and maybe there is another out there in preparation - so that is enough for now.
