@cernel To clarify, in v1 submarines should indeed fire separately from other defending units if there are offending air units but together if there are no offending air units. Anyway, the separate step in which only defending submarines fire should not be called as "first strike" or anything like that.

I defer to @Panther for confirmation.

I looked at the engine code around createsUnitsList and it doesn't look like it will work.

The relevant code is in EndTurnDelegate.java.

So basically, for any land units that would be created at sea, we instead find a random neighboring land territory owned by the player and create the units there. No considerations for transports are given.

I suppose engine changes could be done to support different semantics, but given this whole line of thinking is already trying to workaround a different engine limitation - perhaps that one could be addressed directly, i.e. making unitPresence support each (either as a multiplication on top of each on directPresenceTerritories if both are used, or not allowing multiple each values on different options).

@myrd If you are trying to exactly replicate the boardgame, it is going to be complicated and I don't have anything better for you.

@wc_sumpton Thank you, that's exactly what I needed! You solved my problem. 🙂

@lafayette
Is the Pre-Release link below correct ?
https://prerelease.triplea-game.org

If so then it does not work.

FeignException$InternalServerError: [500 Internal Server Error] during [GET] to [https://prerelease.triplea-game.org/maps/listing] [MapsFeignClient#fetchMapListing(Map)]: [{"code":500,"message":"There was an error processing your request. It has been logged (ID d97cbd373f49b787)."}]

I tried to add the above, but I don't think I'm authorised, but I think its already covered by;
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/projects/25#card-74205079

@wc_sumpton Works perfectly. I plan to have 10% upkeep cost scenarios for all the boardgame conversions.

@panther Interesting! I'll check that.

@thedog said in What for isAA is better suitable: artillery barrage or another attack / defense type?:

You can also use
<option name="isFirstStrike" value="true"/>
for land battles

So the order is
AA
First Strike
Basic Atk / Def

So maybe you can do what you want like this
AA = AA & Indirect Fire
First Strike = Direct Fire Anti Tank & direct HE
Basic = Infantry fire & close range fire

Dear @TheDog,

as I have already mentioned, I use the option «isFirstStrike» and moreover I combine this option with «canNotTarget», «canNotBeTargetedBy», «canEvade», «canAirBattle» and «canScramble» for land units.

But still there is a problem that «isFirstStrike» can represent the range difference (or the mobile warfare or the sudden strike etc.) but not another attack / defense type like the option «isAA» with its sub-option «targetsAA».

It would be great to have such a sub-option like «targetsFirstStrike» but as we currently don’t have such an option you cannot use by your tank unit «isFirstStrike» to attack anti-tank gun and then basic attack against infantry.

@thedog

Thank You

@thedog actually i can't remember lol. i don't think so

@stohrm Try making some small changes and see if they work. If you have trouble achieving the desired effect, post here.

@beelee

Really? It's quite old - but really nice. I noticed it in sea battles years ago and wondered about it until I realized that it was a somehow funny description about what friendly units "do" when not attacking together with the currently active player. 🙂

@stohrm
splitting the two theaters was a reality, how ever you are in essence creating two new 'countries' by combing the units. I think this would best be served by keeping alliance armies whole and allowing each country to add to it with their separate productions. This way allowing them to also run their own combats apart from the combined army.

@beelee said in Transfer of Unit Ownership:

<option name="changeUnitOwners" value="Chinese"/>

Thanks, I had everything but the changeUnitOwners value right. It's working now.

@stohrm Why use a transfer of resources at all? You could get the same effect through a national objective or triggered event.

@lafayette I'm just waiting around for a reply to a query I posted late last night (early this AM); but I have to say that I agree with you (and what follows are my 2 cents).

An RC-135 is a Cargo Plane and the Air Force does use it to transport service members and their family members. It's damn cold, but it gets them from point A to B to C, etc.

Just saying.

PS. I don't recall them ever refitting a B-52 to hull troops and do believe there should be a distinction between bombers and Cargo Planes. On the other hand, Cargo planes have been used to hull Paratroopers...
