Migrating British Entry-Exit point
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:10 am
In all forms of WITP there are, by hard code, two British Entry-Exit hexes.
In stock these were Bombay and Karachi.
Andrew changed Bombay to Aden for CHS - and while Aden does change location in RHS - it remains a point where British naval vessels may exit the map. We have a number of other entry points representing the original CHS Aden - including Karachi - and Muscat in Level 7 - where ships may enter - and a town in Pakistan where land units may enter the map. Aden in RHS is not very changed from CHS - but in Level 6 most of the petroleum enters at Muscat.
RHS changed the other entry hex at every level: Level 5 uses Melbourne, Level 6 uses the South Atlantic Entry Point (Tristan da Cunha Island) and Level 7 uses Recife, Brazil.
Level 7 in its next release - which will be designated 7.787 - while all three hexes will appear to be exactly the same as they did in 7.7865 - in fact Capetown will be the British exit hex - and Recife will not be. Ships may still enter at either one. Some British land units would respawn at Recife - which was not really good for technical reasons - so now they will appear at Capetown. This is the level at which Level 7 will freeze. An update for Levels 5 and 6 may well occur - particularly if we change aircraft - and that will be x.7866 - to make it clear they are not really at the same degree of development as Level 7 now is.
