@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks. Did edit mode to return the Bessarabia battle back to its sad ending for Il Duce. Otherwise good to go for ANZAC turn I believe.

@victoryfirst

I will put it on the list to fix so upgrade will work

lol I just did a update too lol

@johnnycat

Hi cat

I looked at your save. One thing to remember, is that only certain units can be placed during the 1st place phase. The rest you place as would in oob in the 2nd place.

WaffenPioneer should be on the list, as well as the LendLease markers.

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0

Hallo

So, I finally figured out what was going on with the AC. I had a typo in the xml where the G Ftr is not supported by the AC, only the Tac. That's why it was always picking the Tac lol

So, sadly, we will need both the AC Tac and AC Ftr. Be a little bit of a pita to switch back and forth for offense and defense but hmm ... maybe one should place one of each in the Box and then you can just move which one you need to the board ?

That seems as if it should work better than just editing it in and out every time. Boxes will be a little crowded but Idk a personal preference thing at that point I suppose 🙂

Anyway, we will need to keep an eye on them for our game. basically all FtrAF and ACON only AC will get boost. Tac present works correctly. Oh yea, I tried it after i fixed it and it was picking the Ftr over the Tac on attack.

And then neither Ftr or Tac will work on defense, so as I mentioned earlier, unless you have all Tacs, replace a Ftr with another AC and it'll get 6 rolls on d then.

The 2.4 latest is correct. I just tested it again. I'll add the new images to next update so they're more consistent.

@ubernaut : small change in the ncm.

@trout

I'd be a Yukonner if I was 🙂

Yep I'm a yank. Living in the Heartland. Actually was born in Cali but only lived there for six years.

I try to keep that kinda quiet these days lol

@VictoryFirst

Now that you back, might as well see if Pizza can defend the Old Man's Honor 🙂

Hey here's a @Black_Elk Star change to the map.properties.

just add the last two lines, then when you fire up, you can hit blends and it'll give you a lighter look.

I still like the neon 🙂

I feel like I already said that somewhere lol

map.properties

Screenshot from 2025-04-15 05-19-06.png

you can change to .05 or .1 or .15 etc ... .2 the lightest Elk liked it best

Just buggin to remind ya this one still going too 🙂 hee hee

Edit
Oh yea you gotta turn it on under "View" in "Show Map Blends"

It'll stay on blends all the time until you change it even if you restart game.

OK I did my part to resurrect the thread 🙂

Edit
The dudes show up clearer in Italy and DNG. I Could get used to it I guess 🙂

Edit 2
Last ones 🙂
Blend off

@sirsilas

Hi silas

It's ok if you don't want to finish the game. Hope you didn't get taken out on your business trip by a distracted driver 😲

Anyway, you still welcome to play on triplea with our small gruppe.

Hope you give it a try again 🙂

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks Panzer. Yes, we can start a game whenever you want. I honestly would need a little tutorial in how to get it started. Is it something as simple as I can just post a new topic and then send you my G1 via Play by Email?? If so, then yes I can send you my G1 in next couple of days. As for your victory, I think my downfall started when you knocked out ANZAC. Japan knocking out ANZAC is not a killing blow by itself but since I was completely unprepared for it with your brilliant disguising of your intentions, it happened without me having any plan to counter it 😞 Then you introduced me to the "Gibraltar stack" which was new to me also. In any case, congrats again on kicking my fanny.

@wc_sumpton

Boxes seems like AA50 and Mega Global lol

@trout

yea no need to go to big on the report. I always do 🙂 I'd try and use The Captain's as a guide.

Don't worry too much about pictures. There is a small < > upper right where you can go full screen. Select a certain area you can tune out the History or just bomb the entire screen in.

I usually zoom out to get a bigger picture. The save game has all the info but most won't want to fire it up unless they're real interested.

Anyway, be a couple days probably. Need to fix a couple things and update the Notes again.

Fun game 🙂

I'm struggling hard. I can't solve why the trigger fired. The above was a notification change. Shouldn't matter. Here's the trigger firing

Here's the trigger

and the condition

Screenshot from 2025-03-07 02-21-19.png

the at war ones are pretty basic. None of that should be new.

wwtf I guess I'll just try and recreate it. It never happened before. Not where JPN and the Allies aren't even at war.

Wtf this is pissing me off

Edit
I recreated it or at least the JPN attack and it worked fine. Idky it nutted up for us. Will just have to edit in the yanks if jpn attacks first

fbs

had some git bs today too. I wonder why that is. Neither have happened before

@victoryfirst said in VF (Axis) vs TGC (Allies) | Classic, Game 2 - Balance:

Yes, I am playing so many that I sometimes forget where I need to do my turn.

Yep. I can relate to this. Thank you for rolling for tech and taking the game this far. Yes, some of your moves shocked me but I can see with a bit warmer dice rolls - things could have gone differently.

GOOD GAME!

@victoryfirst said in TGC (Allies) vs VF (German) D-day with Balance:

@the_good_captain Thank you so much for your comments. I can fully agree with you about the "feeling a prisoner of what I know". I respect you a lot for your experience and your sheer knowledge on several A&A versions. Usually I think twice before disagreeing with you.

The last thing I ever want to be is anything close to Andrew. I embrace disagreement from everyone but especially from players with decent resumes like yourself.

So please don't think twice before disagreeing with me. I don't want to miss any opportunity to improve. As they say, "light comes from heat."

Andrew is a special case of player that comes off as 'having all the right answers' and needs no improvement - and I just don't have the time for 'one way' conversation. So he is an exception for that reason.
