RHS 7.793 Comprehensive Update UPLOADED

[el cid again]

Instead of updateing RHSEBO as intended, mainly with respect to eratta,

I will issue a general update

A tiny number of eratta or enhancements will be included (things like the observation air flight on a Japanese battleship can increase to the capacity of the ship IF you want it to - but it starts with the historical number of planes without forcing you to stay there if you don't want to)

But this is about a change - only in Malaya - only to resources and supply sinks. We will divide up resources - mainly along the West coast- and eat them everywhere - even on the East coast - and also at Singapore itself.

This is easy to say - but I need a bit of time to make it happen. Back in a few.

Thanks Cid!!  [&o][&o]
I had just started a PBEM using EEO and we had both done the first turn (I sent my part back today). I had played RAO against John 3rd late last year and this was an issue with me.  You have put in more man-hours than I can imagine to make this mod and its various scenarios work. I will again have to go back and figure out how to make the Allied economy work in various parts of the world.
Hopefully, I can give you feedback on issues as they arise.

Since there are no reports of errata to investigate -

I will upload these scenarios now.

FYI I checked Palembang - and it is not a problem re resources - many centers are larger.

But it may be a "regional supply sink" - and that might be a problem we can address - so I will look
at the possibility of creating a few smaller sinks - since I am not quite out of slots -

then I will upload (wether or no there is a change). Momentarily.

Do these changes require us to restart games if we update the files Cid?

[el cid again]

NO - an existing game will play fine - but it will NOT have the changes in it.

IF AND ONLY IF you want to see the changes is the answer

Yes - scenario files have no impact on an existing savegame file. Only a pwhex file can be changed during a game - and that will go away with AE. [But we think we can change the pwhex in the save game file - and we plan a lot more dynamic programming for RHS - giving you more options than ever - thanks mainly to Dave Bradley - who is unwilling to wait years for Matrix to do it]

This is a courtesy update for new games. I am not going to restart any game - but I did delay an RHSEBO test until it was ready - I did not start the game. I think this is a minor enhancement - not a big change in the system. I play Japan - and I can beat KL every time - without any big losses to assaulting units. But it will be easier now - which may be wrong - in that Malaya may fall sooner. The idea that a static defense at Singapore will hold out a long time is a mistake - it will hold out maybe 10 days - maybe.

[el cid again]

This change set - modest in every sense except how much work it required in data entry - is uploaded.
I do not plan more updates at this time.

Note I am NOT restarting ANY game to use this - it is for new games - and only a courtesy for those who find KL an irritation.
I find it is not a big problem for Japan - and it is an asset for the Allies - so I did it to make things better - but not because it
was a horrible problem in my personal opinion. I wanted to do a new game start instead - I did this to be nice - and NOW I am going to play - thank you very much.

Note that changes proposed to amplify RHSEBO

WERE INCLUDED in this release.

So was some minor ship and ship air element eratta.

Thanx for the info and hard work Cid.
