RHS 7.954 microupdate (ship file only) is reissued and replaced. The only change is that some Fujimoto class BB have a facing change on the rear turret (from front to rear).

The uploaded mailing to primary distribution also includes Fujimoto, Dutch BC, Dutch CL, and Allied three boat PT art - in case you want it or need it. Standard art does not include any of these. The PT boats appear as single ship units - which is fine - but the Fujimoto and Dutch art will cause a crash - since nothing is in their slots - unless you have installed them. These are only issues re EBO - no other scenario has these ships in it.

Attached are scenario 74 RHSEBO ship class and ship files ONLY.
Also attached is the correct ship art for bitmaps 208 and 252 on the Japanese side.

These correct some technical problems related to Unryu Class carriers and Fujimoto class battleships ONLY in this scenario:

1) The radar on Unryu has facing corrected to all from forward.

2) The art pointer for the early Fujimoto is now the same as upgrade pointers.

The slot originally used for EBO was used for a different ship in other scenarios - but for ease of play we put all art in separate bitmaps - so you can switch scenarios and not worry if the art is there. That means the original 252 map should be present - and it is not Fujimoto art. We should put Fujimoto in 208 - and since it was missing - it can crash the game if the image is called. [Spare bitmaps should prevent that - but don't always]

IF you are unsure you have 208 art - and IF you play Scenario 74 - be sure these bitmaps are in the two sub folders of art for japanese sides and shils.

We are working up for Series 13 tests and fixing eratta before start turns are done. I cross checked - these are NOT issues in other scenarios. Scenario 74 was last - and it has unique features - and was least debugged. There may not be any more updates - but it won't be clear for about a day.

This is designated microupdate 9.7541 and it ONLY applies to EBO Scenario 74.

Just to clarify, the RHS EBO file are located at the RHS web site here http://rhs.akdreemer.com/RHS%20Scenarios/RHSEBO%20074/

People who want automatic RHS files get them by being on the "primary distribution list" - and you get that by sending an email address to me via pm. It is dangerous to post an email address directly - so don't do that.

There are at the moment no plans to update RHS files - and the only possibility of a general review (side armor/durability related) would take many weeks to execute - because of massive research, calculation and data entry requirements. It is not yet decided to do that.
