4.2 Module Updates:

- All ground and air unit's reverse side gain a "reduced" stripe similar to naval units.

- US Army forces green background is now lighter to help distinguish from Imperial Japanese Army mustard for those with RG Color Blindess.

- ZOI now use a map shader in addition to area of effect. The change is that no matter how many units of the same side overlap it results in just one shade. This reduces enormously the issue of multiple ZOIs causing areas of the map to intensify with color. This also makes it much easier to tell which hexes have Japanese ZOI, Allied ZOI are mutually neutralizing ZOI.

- In the same vein Allied LRBs are given a line pattern to their ZOI to denote that they don't neutralize Japanese ZOI.

- US HQs now have a green-blue hue to make it clear they can activate Army or Navy units. Their backsides are split into two shades (Green and Blue) along a diagonal to denote ISR.

- Japanese HQs now have a bright light yellow hue to make it clear they can activate Army or Navy units. Their backsides are split into two shades (Mustard and Yellow) along a diagonal to denote ISR.

- The menu bar has an ISR command for both US and Japan to flip their HQs.

- A command has been added to switch to the C3i HQs (their colors have also been updated).

4.11 Module Updates:

- Imperial Japanese Army units now have a mustard colored background, this includes ground and air units to distinguish them from the IJN. This should facilitate ISR at a glance.

- US Army and US Army Air Forces now have an olive green background which distinguishes them from the regular blue US Navy. This should facilitate ISR at a glance.

- Since USMC are technically USN for activation and ISR purposes, they have been re-colored with the same blue background. This should facilitate ISR at a glance.

- The US 6th Marine Unit had its reduced side corrected (previously showing the 5th Marines)

4.10 Module Updates:

- Allied zone of influence color is different for long range bombers vs. fighters, for easy recognition of neutralized ZOI.

- New control markers that show a different color for Progress of the War hexes. One click at the end of turn changes the markers to standard control markers.

- One window shows all decks (draw, discard, removed).

- Special window lets you look through your discard deck and see graphical representations of every card in the deck. - Less icons on the toolbar

- Draw (action) buttons in each player's hand.

- Charts: one window shows CRT, TEC, movement chart, and reinforcement schedules.

- New radius buttons show two radii at once: one for regular vessels and one for carriers.

- Double numbering on the hexes removed.

- Opponent can no longer flip your face-down future offensives card.

4.04a Module Notes

This is an edit to the 4.04 module incorporating the draft of a new one-year scenario that starts with Turn 4 (Aug-Dec 42) and ends after Turn 6 (Apr-Jul 43). The Scenario description was posted on ConSimWorld at this link: http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX?14@794.r48Eb65nrYd.54@.1dcdfa8d/25478. The working title of the scenario is Turning Point as it spans the time of the Guadalcanal/Kokoda/Buna-Gona/Attu campaigns in the Pacific.

EOTS Vassal Version 3.1 Help

One feature that is not entirely intuitive is the reinforcement feature. Right-click on the "Turn" marker on the Turn Track. From the resulting sub-menu, select the reinforcement option and then the turn desired. Both Allied and Japanese reinforcements will appear just above the "Turn" marker.
