Absolutely correct:

Scenarios remain the same at all levels.

Level 5 = CHS. It is so compatable you can use Andrew Brown's Extended Map. You can mix and match any combination of Level 5 map art, pwhex file and Andrews map art and pwhex file. Cobra and I think you should prefer our art/pwhex (he does the former, I the latter) - for logistic reasons - but someone who loved RHS and hated ferries or river movement might go the other way. This is not an accident - but deliberate.

Level 6 = Primitive map edge movement track. ALLIED ships may sail "the backside around the world" leaving the West Map edge and returning on the East - or vice versa. You also may divert to/from Panama up the Pacific Side of South America - OR go to the South Pacific.

Level 7 is not released. It may not even be possible - but it looks like we will be there soon. The main problem is we keep finding technical issues - some going all the way back to stock - others made right here by us - and still others are enhancements someone thought of. But we may be done with that - and so you may see Level 7 this month????
Level 7 adds Madagascar and several off map shipping tracks - and Japan can sail to Madagascar by various tracks. It involves a major rework of pwhex - the art and OB are done. Australia is of a different - and less distorted - size. Should help limited range Allied planes be more effective defending the place - and it gives us "more" ocean to play with.

I recommend using the x.01 (5.01 and 6.01) update due to formation issues.

Excellant thanks
 
I wondered why i Had i S Atlantic entry hex floating!!

If it is in the ocean, not in a track, you have the wrong pwhex file and the wrong map art.

You must use a Level 5 pwhex file (or Andrew's) with Level 5, and Level 6 pwhex with Level 6.

In addition, if you do EOS, you need DIFFERENT plane art than the RHS standard. 5 scenarios (regardless of level) use the main plane art - but EOS has its own. All 6 scenarios (regardless of level) use the same ship art, fonts, etc.
And there are alternate fonts - 5 or 6 different sets - not to mention you can use stock, CHS or other fonts!

RHS v5.51 & v6.51 all scenarios except EOS posted at Send Space will be avail at RHS web site shortly

changes micro
This does three things:

fixes formation pointers

fixes Japanese naval stations with respect to name, command, pointer and/or
devices

moves Agano class cruiser torpedoes to the centerline (in all variations and updates)


There are only three data files - and the comment file: location, class and ship.

RHS v6.52 for all scenarios except EOS posted at Send Space
v5.52 not through yet
changes
This micro update INCLUDES and REPLACES 6.51.

6.52 adds pools for sound detectors because testers report they do not produce and land units need them to draw on - not because they work (we don't know if they do or not - and they only work rarely if they do work due to low ratings) - but so they will upgrade to radar.

It changes the DC on Tomodzuru "Torpedoboats" (not MTB, baby DDs)
(and also centerlines the TT on Agano CLs)

It fixes spelling errors in ROCAF unit names

It fixes errors in formation pointers (a formation must point at itself) in BBO, RAO
and PPO

It fixes Japanese naval stations in some technical respects - and renames some -
so if they move it does not seem odd to have the name in the wrong place.

changes
This isn't a typo.

5.53 micro update INCLUDES and REPLACES 5.52 - and must be installed after downloading 5.50 comprehensive.

In CVO and RAO (only) there are additional ship eratta - otherwise this is the same as 5.52.

changes
This addresses ship class errors - AND updates ships that may use those sub classes (mostly not - but maybe some)

and it adds 6 units (all battalions) to the Indian Army
and corrects 4 more in some name sense

RHS v6.553 update for BBO only posted at send space

changes
This is a more complete modification of 6.55. In addition to fixing the device errors in 14 classes of ships posted in the Forum:

a) It adds 6 and modifies the names of 4 Indian Army battalions ("regiments").

b) It adds the missing Kwajalein Base force and modifies 3 other IJN base
forces or naval station battalions.

c) It converts the PBJ to a "carrier capable" aircraft. This is only used by USMC and it is not assigned to any carriers.

d) It adds a the ANT-6 in its transport version;

e) It adds the 23 TBAE independent transport squadron to the Soviet Long Range Air Forces - the ONLY transport unit in 1941 in PTO.

f) It converts the regiment of Li-2 transports back to their historical date and location - they are not starting the war and not at Vladivostok.

g) It adds the 63 MRAE independent recon squadron to the Soviet Pacific Ocean Fleet (TOF) Air Flotilla - the ONLY naval recon unit in 1941 in PTO.

h) We have NOT identified the SQUADRON of B-25s used in the Doolittle raid - so we cannot make it carrier capable - since RHS uses squadrons - not group organization for USAAF.

i) We updated the Soviet CA class to have depth charges

j) We updated any ship record using any modified class record

These changes affect the aircraft, ship class, air group, location and ship files.

Since I have NOT fixed the ships except in BBO - that is all I will upload now. I need a nap. I will do the rest (sans EOS) when I wake up.

Actually this is incorrect:

IF you have 5.54 or 6.54 (or later) you CAN use this art - it IS updated - in fact you MUST use this art with x.54.

RHS v5.554 & v6.54 all scen except EOS posted at Send Space

changes
This is updated for ship class/ship eratta and it includes the new pointer for
the ANT-6 plane art. You MUST use RHS plane art 7.02 with these files or you will crash when you look at the ANT-6 (new art slot - calling an empty art slot will cause a crash every time).

It appears Cobra has a lift outside of RHS - and has not posted RHS x.555 level microupdate.

So anyone who wants x.556 - which I think should be comprehensive - send me an email address.
If you want to look at EOS - which is not ready to play - to generate comments - indicate that.
I will probably issue EOS tomorrow.

RHS v5.557 & v6.557 posted at send space

changes
This is issued mainly so data washing can begin in total sync with everything -
but changes are therefor updated for all. A number of reported eratta in ships
between classes and ships are cleared up. Soviet Armored Trains are renamed (and one is deleted). Some minor corrections to Soviet air unit names. Revised 80th Independent Mixed Brigade (because exact data available). Added 50th, 51st IMA Cavalry "regiments" and 6th and 7th District Brigades - and Soviet 201st Airborne Brigade - all at game start.

Maybe not. Might be a typo. See what you get?

If you don't get what you want - advise. Even if Cobra is sleeping - working - doing something sensible (besides RHS support) Mifune or I can send you any scenario you want.
