@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

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 🙂

@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 🙂

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.
