CHS Release 1.02

[Don Bowen]

The change list for CHS version 1.02 is complete. We have not addressed some recently raised points as the update has already been considerably delayed. We would like to get the ANZAC HQ and 393rd NBS changes out there.

The list is below. Actually making and verifying the changes will take a day or perhaps two. I would appreciate comments and corrections for items on this list or for major items that may have been excluded.

This is a complete list and supercedes all prior postings.

Wonderful work Don!

Thanks but not Don - there's a bunch of us to share the glory and the guilt!

[EasilyConfused]

Looks great, can't wait till its available.

[Hortlund]

TBD range?

[Tanaka]

Increase production of Japanese Advanced Engines. Add two factories at Kanazawa:
Adv Mitsubishi engine factory, 100 on R&D
Adv Nakajima engines factory for 80

Is this so the AI can finally produce all planes in the CHS scenario???

[Don Bowen]

ORIGINAL: Panzerjaeger Hortlund

TBD range?

Only if resolved in the next couple of hours. We can easily “just one more fix” this update into next year!

Sorry but you will have to restart.

A CHS player has just brought another data problem to our attention - just in time to get included in the CHS 1.02 release (thank you Kereguelen!).

Please note that it is our intention to make 1.02 the last release of CHS for some time. If you have found an error in CHS please let me know immediately (or preferably sooner).

Is Spookys site still having download problems and if so is there any other way to possibly get the patch e-mailed from someone who can download it?

[DuckofTindalos]

Spooky's is still sick. I tried it earlier...

[Banquet]

Any rough estimates of when 1.02 will be available for download? I'm tempted to try CHS since the AI appears to be not only working, but some people are saying it's an improvement! [:)]

I tried the 1st couple turns of 1.01 and it certainly seems vastly different! (in a good way ) but I don't want to get too into it if 1.02 is coming and will require a restart.
