Chinese Communists in Rising Sun as Axis by Wyatt A. Kappely This zip allows Chinese Communists to fight in RS as Axis.
This zip allows Chinese Communists to fight in RS as Allied. This zip allows French, Dutch and Thai units to fight in RS. [updated 29 Apr 01: Added files prevent certain movement crashes] USSR Mod for Rising Sun by Wyatt A. Kappely This zip allows USSR units and new Chinese units to fight in RS. [Updated again a/o 4 Jan 01 to fix a problem w/ the mod's interaction with the TS editor.] This is an MS 'Excel 5.0/95' file of all the RS scenarios w/ relevant info. Very useful for picking scenarios w/o having to page through the RS screens. It is not as robust as the ones Glenn did for EF and WF. I will try to expand it as time permits OR volunteers are welcome! This is RS 1.0 unit and weapons data in an MS 'Excel 5.0/97' spreadsheet. The 'sort' worksheet is specifically designed to be sorted as you choose. This is an MS 'Access 97' database of RS v1.0. It draws on all the information available in the new spreadsheet (above) but actually allows the user to filter by date, country, side and unit class. It also shows both the 3D unit picture and the photograph (where available). A must have! [Fixed the bug!] (Notes: This file can be loaded in any directory, it works best if the RS cd is in the cd rom drive - to show the photographs - and if it can't find any unit data it is likely that your registry points to the wrong directory). This zipfile contains 'briefing sheets' (one for each side) for every RS scenario! A briefing sheet consists of one page of 'conditions' (eg scenario description, visibility, supply level, scenario length, etc), one section of the friendly OOB (only units actually appearing in the scenario, not the entire *.org file), one section of friendly forces and capabilities (eg which and how many of each platoon type, basic combat data for those platoons, etc) and one section on possible enemy forces and capabilities (ie roughly the same as the previous section except that it contains only platoons available in that time period to the enemy countries in question). It uses full FOW so reading the 'briefing' for the side you are playing will not give away any secrets! It is in the simplest *.doc format and should be readable by any word/wordpad version (or rename it as *.txt but lose the page breaks). (Note: These files are free standing so they can be unzipped anywhere. I'd suggest making a subdirectory under RS called "Briefings". These are quite complex amalgamations, If you spot incorrect data, please let me know so I can fix it. Also, please let me have suggestions as to what can be improved.) Rising Sun Parameters Data [Volunteers Wanted to fill in this file with RS Terrain, etc data...] This includes all the info from the TS 'pdata.hlp' file plus more info I've gathered from other official sources. It is an MS 'Excel 5.0' file. T Glenn Saunders' "Recon in WF (and EF II)" [Oldie But Goodie] An outstanding article on how to properly use recon in WF (and EF II). It particularly addresses the new concealment rules, but is also a terrific vision of how to avoid the "recon by death" approach. Guaranteed to change the way you play!
