    Hmm ... AG Center seems a bit cluttered. I'll punch it up and take a look.

    Basically the Tokens are to represent what units are in the Armies/Corps/Army Groups. While there is overflow on the map, placements are still limited.

    AGs are the ones that are the hardest to keep track of. The Corps and Armies not so much, so yoiu don't have to use the Tokens if you don't want to.

    Personally I like them 🙂

    Edit
    Hmm ... not sure where you got that above shot. This is what I get from the above save

    As you can see, I don't like to play with the Flags on. Trout and Panzer do. It's just a personal preference.

    Also, you might want to try the lighter look by going to View

    and turn on "Map Blends"

    Here is my current game with Trout
    EXP Game 8 Trout F 10.tsvg

    and my last game with Panzer
    exp-game-9-panzer-g-17-final.tsvg

    Older saves you will have to change the map version, so will hold off on that so you don't get information overload.

    Both of the above games techically ended sooner than what we did. We just decided to keep on playing for fun.

    In the Panzer game, he left JPN vulnerable and I sunk his Fleet and took JPN. I don't remeber exactly what happened. Here is the Game thread https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4176/exp-game-9-barnee-vs-panzer?page=1

    and the current one with Trout https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4226/exp-game-8-trout-vs-barnee

    where he Sealioned me 🙂

  • @beelee So what are all these top level things doing? What and where is Army Group Center? This Top LINE still confuses me... Is the Army Group Center tag just covered by that hoard of nasty Nazis?

    And why bother with this misdirection anyway? This is a digital game - that one-chit-for-the-army stuff was originally for board games with limited real space. But this is a computer so why do this? I would rather see the units in the territory and not some mix of units and Army Group ID... seems rather confusing that.

    In any case is there like 50 Nazi combat units in the Baltic? Hahahaha How did they get there? Is this game just heavily biased in the early turns? I really never looked at the German turn because I spent the past few turns just trying to figure out the basics.

    Does that Greece Landing Craft muck up all the Russia reinforcements from the UK in the south? Speaking of which, IS there a way to reinforce Russia from the south? Can the UK send dudes to defend?

    I am a bit stumped here now on what Russia is to do. I get all the basic strats... KGF or KJF... sure but that is just theory and I don't even see how the UK can get a fleet in place with all the U-boats, hahahaha.

    Again I feel like I need some videos on how to do this. Oh and I checked things like ChatGPT or Google but all that is the board game and this Captain's Special Household Rules is nowhere to be found by me...

    @beelee : I recall you mentioning some games that I could look at - but being so overwhelmed by all this I cannot seem to find out where those are. Maybe I could learn what to do by looking through those games?

    Anyway I am just trying to get a clue and make this first game decent. Thanks.

    Here is the picture of our game at German 4
