1.5 is the version that I downloaded, followed up by the 1.804 comp, and now the 1.806.  I've downloaded the chs and AB's maps, but haven't installed any of them yet.  I'm still a stock player.  [:)]

I really like the extended map.  I just wish there was a version of it like Subchaser's that shows small colored icons for resources, oil, HI, etc at the bases. 
 
CHS is another animal.  I am sure it's a huge improvement in accuracy and will probably be fine to play, but I'm still getting the hang of stock in my first game.  For me, 2 varieties of AK are enough.  I don't need to try to keep track of 15 different capacity AK classes.  [:D]  I think there is a scenario for the extended map that uses the stock db.  I may need to try that out for an AI game. 
 
Very likely, my second PBEM game will be CHS.

Hey, my wife was at the NCSU Vet school from 89 - 93.  Graduated, and is now back there working in the ER.  The place has grown a bit.  [;)]

I'm doing a solo game with the CHS right now...it's different...[:D]
