Final vanilla HoI2 version standardization

[Brasidas]

I have drafted a patching procedure to bring the game to its final, playable state. It includes Ayeshteni's GPW fix and the 1.3b AI pack. BiB was kind enough to sticky it on the main page, but it may also be found here.

With the variety of variants out there, we thought that the MP community might be interested in a common version of the game for vanilla.

With the variety of variants out there, we thought that the MP community might be interested in a common version of the game for vanilla.

I did this for the MP community some time ago - see the sticky thread above:- Recommended version. The 1.3b enhancement and the cloud of mods and fixes associated with it are not suitable for MP play because of the importance of ensuring that we have the same version. And an AI upgrade is not important for MP play as we expect to be playing the major countries ourselves.

I've been thinking that it's time to move on and recommend the Doomsday 1.2 version as the standard MP version. But I haven't logged a lot of hours with it myself yet in MP and so can't attest to its stability. I've seen quite a few people in V-Net with this REBB version. How are people finding it? Any major gotchas?
