RHS v6.72 scenarios posted at Send Space and avail at web site

changes
This set is not quite final - mainly with respect to USN LSTs - and a few CW minesweeping trawlers. There no doubt will be more eratta found by cross checking.
We also will rework a few EOS planes for 6.73.

The main thing here is an unpleasant amount of location eratta - most of which seems to not have affected players (but which slowed turn execution) - related to where units appear. In this version the South Atlantic Entry will get many units weeks before they appear in Level 5 at Aden - you can send them either way (East or West).

Once again it appears there will be at least one more version of Level 6 - and it looks like it may take up to a week to generate - because we are keeping 18 scenarios in sync. I was delayed by player reported issues - but at least we have addressed them. And as a result this is the cleanest file set yet.

RHS v7.72 senarios posted at send space and avail at web site

changes
Once again there is more here than in the Level 5 and 6 updates - many things updated for 7 which did not apply to them - or modified for Level 7. In this case, we are using Recife Brazil in leiu of the South Atlantic Entry point - and you get two more weeks to play with. Alternatively New Orleans might be the entry point (for US units).

EOS has the reworked Me-109T exchanged for the Ki-44 III - the upgraded A5M4 from 7.71 - it lost the Ki-34s - and converted Hawk II and III to Axis Hawk. There are two unused Allied plane slots. We need new plane filmstrips - and for now the Axis Hawk uses A5M4 art. Air groups were reworked for the Axis - related to these aircraft only.

All remaining MSW except trawlers were reworked into two ship units. A number of other eratta of the pointer sort were corrected.

For the first time it appears the ships and classes may be eratta free. So are planes and groups (unless the matter of command in non PP scenarios is eratta). Only locations are problematical - with numbers of pointer or data issues to work in. Even so - I am sure this is not as clean as Levels 5 and 6 - and tests will show more erratta of the location sort in particular. But it is a gigantic improvement.

Some labeling matters in the Scenario files were corrected.

RHS v7.791 PWHEX set sent to Send Space and avail at web site

changes
There were four bad locations - 3 islands and a point on Madagascar - not defined as land -

this fixes those points (and any eratta found meanwhile)

Once again this will freeze unless something significant is found

that is - there is no plan to change pwhex at level 7

We need to update Level 5 and 6 pwhex for some corrections and some enhancements in due course - a one time deal - incorporating all things learned since last release

RHS v6.73 scenarios posted at send space and avail at web site

changes
This update will introduce new plane sets - sans art where required (we point at the nearest art in the set if new are isn't ready) - so expect to upgrade to another set in a few days (when Cobra is back)

It also folds in some eratta and enhancements re ships, locations, the cam file, name it.

It does not address the Isles class MSW trawlers or add the missing USN LSTs.

In its Level 6 (and Level 5) forms this is a very clean set of files.

We still have two free Allied plane slots in most scenarios and five in EOS - some of which may be added.

This set of files introduces DIFFERENT BBO/RPO/PPO Allied air groups - with flying boats replacing US Naval bombers in many units - as was planned early in the war (for which Boeing built the largest factory in the world).

RhS v7.731 scenarios posted at send space and avail at web site

changes
This is similar to 6.73 and 5.73, with additional planes, and with some air groups reworked or added related to those planes. Only the SBC remains to be added to the set. This has considerably more eratta worked in than Levels 5 and 6 did - because there is so much more to work in. There is no significant air or ship eratta remaining.
But the location files are not very clean - with about 400 technical errors identified but not corrected - and the USN LSTs and Allied MSW trawlers (the least of the MSW) remain to be added/reformed. [When MSW rework it is common to add missing units which previously could not be in any mod due to lack of slots] Unsually there is even a revised cam file - with eratta worked into it - as there was in Levels 5 and 6.

RHS v6.74 scenario pak including a provisional Allied Air pak posted at send space and avail at web site

Note Air Art is still being worked on to clean up will take a few days yet

Note 2 V5 will be packaged first thing in morning and sent out

Changes
This is not quite where we wish to be - but almost:

ALL MSW now are two ship units

ALL Allied aircraft have the new art (so you need to download the new art filmstrip for the Allies)

ALL air units reworked to address aircraft changes

BBO set has removed US Naval engineer regiments (but not battalions)
and modified large AV to CS standard - with the planned but never implemented enhanced armament in some cases

MUCH eratta worked in - more to level 7 as usual -

More will upload in due course

v7.741 changes
This is very similar to 6.74 and 5.74 -

with even more eratta removed

and with the addition of USMC Marine Air Wing HQ elements
and a CNAC/Pan Am element (air groups all)

As with 5 and 6 AP President Harrison is removed and her Japanese form is corrected.

Also all MSW are now two ship units - and a few missing ones were added (because we have slots not previously available to any mod)

changes
This is almost 6.75 - but Japanese RTAF planes point at the wrong art - the right art is not yet done - and there is leader eratta to fold in yet.

(Japanese art is being work on at the moment could be about 3 days away Cobra Aus)

It corrects a very visible error - a Level 7 unit appearing in the Indian Ocean is now 9999ed out.

Changes
This is for those who want the most eratta free form - and most technically developed form - of Level 5. It isn't really necessary - but it is better than 5.741 - it is easy to send out - and I am not sure when 5.75 can be released?

Just as with 6.742 it permits a glimpse at the reorganized China - the revised scheduling of USN LSTs - and the new Soviet PVO (that is fighter defense) air division. It is an opportunity to comment and find issues before x.75 is released and frozen.

RHS v7.92 PWHEX set posted at Send Space and avail Web Site

changes
This file set adds roads to Northern China - the "caravan and truck routes" of the US Army Atlas series to Ulan Bator and from Urumchi to the Soviet border area. [The latter road was already in CHS, but it was a "road to nowhere" - whereas now it has a border entry point defined].

It also adds "invisible railroads" connecting Durban and Capetown, South Africa,
and separately Rio and Recife, Brazil. These exist for logistical use by the AI - not because players are intended to use them - and they do not show in map art. Players can use them, however, if for some reason slow rail travel is preferred to taking a ship.

Otherwise some hex sides that were mismatched in the Tibet area were redefined.
