GENERAL NOTES

Mod created by @sneakingcoward / Suggestions welcome to wgbt@gmx.at

a.) MAP CONTENT
The Rising Sun Variant vXXX includes 1 mod of The Rising Sun
- The Rising Sun - vXXX ... (with Japan as 3 parties Yamamoto, Hisaichi, Masaharu)
b.) RULE SET
The Rising Sun - vXXX mod uses a combined v2 + v3 rule set.
Version rule set in general
- Subs can sneak attack. That means they can pass an enemy occupied sea zone and attack the next (an enemy destroyer prevents/blocks a sneak attack).
Specific Version 2 rule set
- Submarines can submerge after first attacker/defender roll dice. Thus an attacking fighter still has the chance of hitting a sub before it is able to submerge. Enemy destroyers stop subs from submerging.
Specific Version 3 rule set
-
Sea transports do not defend. Neither can they be selected as casualties. They are just lost if enemy wins the sea zone. For example a bomber can defeat an infinite amount of unguarded transports.
-
Submarines can submerge before any roll. So an attacking fighter has no chance of hitting a submarine, unless a destroyer prevents it from submerging.
-
ListenpunktBombers during strategic bombing do not destroy enemy PUs, but do damage structures. Enemy will have to spend PU to repair structures.
Please find detailed information regarding rules & specific unit capabilites in the relevant notes tab inside the game.

d.) HINTS & TIPS
Due to a wide range of possibilities this mod is more suitable for experienced players (typical rounds 30).
Specially the supply strategy is crucial in this mod regarding air+sea+land transport units.
The combination of all possible features enables almost a real handling of warfare.
The fuel mod opens a totally new strategy setup. Big unit groups require a huge fuel amount. Therefore use your fuel wisely.
