I called Beta 6 (0.50.24) close to a Release Candidate, then we got to work and pulled it apart and put it back together again. What we have here is definitely better, but we also have a very enthusiastic team working on the game at the moment, so expect new and of course better versions in a couple of weeks.

.inc files:
file clean-up includes dormant unit deactivation
Denniss´s changes ("LL 3 pack")
GER: Extension of the initiating 1937 motor event to june 1939, cancellation event moved to july 1939
------
CHI/SOV: Operation Zet events changed from multiple supply deliveries (appearing out of nowhere?) to a daily supply delivery system.
------
CHI/USA: Vanilla Lend Lease events disabled and replaced by Core events based on daily supply delivery.
AVG event series revamped - if a unit is sent it automatically gets some daily supply/oil(based on the formed yearly events).
If AVG is denied, all events should now be properly slept.
AVG extension extended a bit to Autumn 1942 - for ahistorical wars
If CHI looses access to foreign supplies, AVG will be recalled with soem delay (political decision)
A military situation like war with USA forces an immediate return of the AVG
If units are withdrawn, all other related events should be slept
AVG units lost in combat trigger information event for USA, sleeping other return events
file upload also includes vanilla USA/CHI file as well as event text file
------
USA/ENG: Lend Lease events modified from multiple active events on both sides to initiating events on the UK side and most other active events on the US side
LL will pe properly disabled if either side chose to deny it.
it's now possible to stop building war emergency freighters if they are replaced by liberty freigthers without loosing the liberties as well
ships are transferred to the UK with soem delay to prevent the event from firing again after reload.
LL cancellation events split into two political events with multiple choices and two military events with singel cancel option
add proper manpower cost to ENG DE/CVE delivery events
reduce supply trigger and one-time supply cost for ship delivery (except CVE), increased daily cost (via separate event) instead
------
USA/SOV: Lend Lease events modified from multiple active events on both sides to most active events on the US side
LL will pe properly disabled if either side chose to deny it.
Split the P-39 delivery event into a P-39 and a P-63 delivery event (if P-63 retained, USA gets fighter instead of older INT)
Split the A-20 delivery into A-20B and A-20G delivery (if A-20G retained, USA gets better TAC)
LL cancellation events split into two political events with multiple choices and two military events with singel cancel option
reduce supply trigger and one-time supply cost for aircraft delivery, increased daily cost instead
------
USA/FRA: Activate a basic Lend Lease event
------
USA: fix additional dissent hit after joining allies via event
------
db\revolt.txt: duplicate province entries for VIC removed, Cameroon was still national for VIC despite removal in events
------
ITA: Add another surrender trigger - surrender event triggers if they loose 50% of their VP regardless of other occupation stati
Removed North Africa from surrender triggers, irrelevant if mainland Italy or Sard/Sic + 1 prov are under occupation
------
Changes to vanilla event files
Vichy: several province numbers (especially Oran and Algiers) corrected
in one event FRA units were to appear in Algiers but this wasn't unter allied control then (moved to Casablanca)
Some province transfer events from the Iraqi coup series modified so they hand back SYR/LEB provs to France once annexed by ENG
(previously annex + hand back but AI usually annexed them before event firing)
Dissolution of Vichy (993) now see some aircraft (50%) and ships (35%) flee to France
VIC joining the Axis now sees air and naval units switch to France (25% each), unlikely that all join former enemy
Split-off the puppet setup of SYR, LEB and MAD as giving independence and setup as puppet does not work from the same event
USA: Yamamoto event disabled as replaced by a better one, LL to China disabled as replaced by a better one
CHI: LL from USA disabled as replaced by a better one
JAP: Yamamoto event disabled as replaced by a better one
