    @interestedparty said in Rule clarification: Allied Units in Russia: @rogercooper perhaps. But, there Germans/Russians are in a stalemate. US has a huge naval fleet near Australia. Japan destroyed China, but is only thinly holds it. India has a large stack of Infantry in Burma. UK has 2 tanks and 3 mech infantry in Novosibirsk. With no danger from Germany, they can cross the border into Kansu, if the rules allow it. As the Japanese player, I had not put any troops to guard the Russian border, beyond the 1 Japanese infantry in each territory. So it looks like a good use of UK troops to invade. You could add a territory restriction to prevent the British from entering Siberia unless Russia and Japan are at war. However, in the situation described, the British would be better off focusing on Germany than intervening in China.

    @martymoose IIRC a savegame always includes the game data of the map version it was created for the first time. So changes occurring in later map versions will be ignored. So savegames are not updated to current map/engine versions.

    @ojdrew By the way: As an (uncomfortable) workaround you can manually save the game and post the turn summary and the savegame file to the respective forum thread.

    When you have a new phone you need to transfer the auth-details from your old to the new phone. Google Auth has a routine for that. Anyway, let's do the same procedure as last time.

    @beelee Those are "community" hosted bots. They have passwords. What exactly should not be happening?

    Rule clarification for Carrier combat and landing planes

    @bayder My example is a bit more concerned with the opposite, where a CV is =100% able to pick up the plane after combat but not before. Me and Bayder and Rumrem had a few examples run in a bot. I think we came to these conclusions, correct me if I'm wrong: Any move that is 100% guaranteed to be possible after combat in LL is a legal move with the exception of where this results depends on picking planes as casualties as that would be kamikaze planes. I think I was a bit confused by the nature of the above example in the OP as it splits 2 planes from a carrier that can theoretically hold both of them. But one of them incidentally has to become a kamikaze plane, the mental conundrum now could be deciding which But thats a whole other thought experiment.

    @zlefin actually the bots have a chance at 5 or 6 different auto-saves. "default save", before combat save, after combat save, etc. try them all before giving up on your game in a bot.

    addendum, the focus of the bug report I would intend to be that you were not able to submit an error report, and _not_that 'game-id' was null. Those are two different problems. The game-id problem is worth an error report. Though, it requires some investigation into the logs and is rooted somewhere in 2.5. I don't think I have bandwidth to do that, hence I would not bother cutting a ticket for the game-id being null problem beyond what you've reported here already.

    This game has some seriously weird and wrong behaviours and unsupported rules for ships. I'm trying to address them. More information here:

    The fact that the installation now went flawlessly shows, that the MS service behind is 'learning'.

    I agree.

    I am inclined to think that it is based on the number of downloads Microsoft has in its SAC database, too few and it is a risk, enough and it passes.

    So from our point of view, we will need to keep a SAC viable downloads list

    @cowey
    To confirm, please find out your friends TripleA version, I will guess it is
    2026-10.16.15815 ?

    Just need the last 5 digits, so its probably 15815

    @beelee @thedog @cowey
    Windows SAC is a cloud based Microsoft service that tries to identify potential malicious software and tries to predict its security.

    I don't have it activated as I frequently use open source software that usually does not have the signatures required by Microsoft.

    The fact that the installation now went flawlessly shows, that the MS service behind is 'learning'.

    So this is by far not a TripleA bug, but a 'feature' of Microsoft Windows 11.

    @TheDog Thanks -- it's not Defender that's the issue, it's Windows 11's new "Smart App Control", which is an additional defense mechanism that has no "run anyway" feature -- it just triggers when Windows doesn't recognize an app's files as being 'registered' and safe. It can automatically flag older or hobbyist-made independent apps (like TripleA) as malware and refuse to run them, unless to permanently turn on "SAC". Frustratingly, It won't give you any specifics as to why the file is on Microsoft's "naughty list".

    My friend just contacted me and told me he's now getting an "OK" message, and Windows will run it now, so...problem solved?
