Chicken of the sea detected that the problem with Broome not being coastal had returned in the "fixed" pwhex file I issued. This probably explains what happened - why RIVER was wrong and none of the others - with respect to a different hex. We had somehow got an older file into the set. Anyway - this version fixes BOTH the Riouw and Dependencies hex issue AND the Broome issue. This is the normal file used in my games - that is - we play with open rivers and depend on players NOT to send the Queen Mary where she could not go. [Note that the Queen Mary specifically CAN go up the Yangtze - the Great Bridge at Nanking was designed to allow her passage benieth. It is only INTERIOR river systems big ships may not enter. The Lower Yangtze is deep - the Upper Yangtze is shallow - and the "green line" between them is at Wuhan. So far I have only had one incident where a player got mixed up - and it is easier than giving notice "we need to switch pwhex files next turn" so a river ship or landing craft can enter or leave a river system.]

None of the other files are affected - nor - if you start with the right pwhex file for your game - is the RHS installer/switcher disabled by these changes. It will still permit you to control individual river mouths or rail lines as required.

This file was uploaded to the primary distribution list.

The new RHS Level 7 pwhex file set is now available at the RHS web site.
