RE: CHS vs RHS
I'm curious about this myself. I've played the stock vs the AI for a while and I keep hearing others in this forum talk about CHS and RHS.
The thing that kind of scares me about RHS is that they keep coming out with new updates and versions, and if I understand correctly, you have to restart after each update? I'd really like to hear about that process.
Lokking forward to following this topic,

RE: CHS vs RHS
I havent played stock in years. I play CHS. Have never tried RHS.
RE: CHS vs RHS
I currently am involved in four RHS games, two as a political player, one as Japan, and one as the Allies. You don't need to track the updates--which are category 3 errata almost entirely--just go with one of the current scenarios.

RE: CHS vs RHS
If you played stock "to death", you should try RHS. It is more different from stock than CHS. As Herwin said, you don't have to start over again and again just because the team doesn stop to publish new versions. The recent versions were all playable. They always correct some minor errors or "improve" some game mechanics (last major change was a new ASW model), but for many months nothing was so important that it justified a restart.

RE: CHS vs RHS
Agreed. RHS has been a mature system for some time now and the updates are minor additions and errata corrections. CHS has errata as well, but is no longer in development.
I think you would enjoy either one, although if you are playing CHS I would personally recommend the experimental version. RHS increases the number of units and the overall complexity, especially economics so it takes a little longer to enter a turn. I really enjoy RHS and now that I am immersed in it, I would be reluctant to go back to any other mod.

RE: CHS vs RHS
If you have one or two weeks of patience, you can try my CHS IATB. It's a mixture of CHS and RHS. The simplicity of CHS with the advanced options of RHS.

It's not released, yet. I'm still working on it.

RE: CHS vs RHS
Not mentioned here is "Big B" mod - i haven't tried it yet, but i supposedly irons out some of the wrinkles in CHS.
RE: CHS vs RHS
Most players use CHS. RHS is also a good mod but is always in a state of development. The two RHS games ive played with el cid have been very enjoyable

RE: CHS vs RHS
I've played Big B several times and find it very interesting. But, the change to the cargo capacity for ships to slow down operations slows it down too much, I think. On "historical" difficulty, Japan NEVER takes Clark Field, Manila, Bataan, or any of the southern islands except Mindanao and Jolo. In my last last game against the AI on that level, I even fought off the invasions of Java and Celebes. Borneo bit the schnitzel, but other than Palembang, most of the rest of the DEI never fell.
So, while it's fun and has some good historicity, it just doesn't work all that well at normal difficulty and against the AI.
I want AE!! And I want it now!!

RE: CHS vs RHS
RHS is easy to install, once you figure out where to put in that damned install folder (it must be in a specific folder) and is a great game to play. The map is a candy to the eyes and the endless scenarios there are keeping you playing till the year 2560 . The economy is far more complex as the overall RHS game is compared to stock - but If you know stock well and read sids manuals and descriptions carefully, you will feel comfortable very quickly. RHS has much more units, planes ships etc and put them were they were historically and is looking even to the tinyies ship around there- you will see TKs with 500 capacity and AKs with 300 capacity to the minimum. But you will get AP Queen Mary and QE - bang ! I love RHS - it is unbeliveable what those guys did out of a 4,5 year old game. The RHS updates on existing scenarios are only minor - some of the scenarions are older and doesnt receive major updates but the work is still in progress. But I dont think that you need to restart becasue of some minor changes. good luck

RE: CHS vs RHS
Think im going to go with RHS as you state it has a much larger OOB to play around with,just going to figure out how to install the damn thing properly so backup copies essential.Thanks to all that replied [:)]

RE: CHS vs RHS
there is a installer aviable. this is really to only thing you need to have. once you started the installer, it asks you to select the game folder and make sure you are using the right map to the right pwhex file. I recommend the map version 7. its the map with the most additional locations, like Aden and Madacascar New Orleans etc. have fun ! I play the EOSAI Scenario becasue this is the game that supports an japaneseAI best and I like the allied side. good luck
