@colin VGG

Here is a fun one where the AI Allies have been keeping us on our toes... Axis went with the slow push to expand carving up the conquests between the various minors along the way, but got stalled up in the Urals and the Russians had us fighting tooth and nail to take out Siberia. AI Soviets meanwhile have been launching some effective counter attacks using their bomber stack, with few furious bombing runs to sweep Japanese production on the mainland. Yakutsk is still kicking and British fighter support has kept the far east fairly active. US pacific fleet just did an end around towards Tokyo when the Japanese fleet finally launch from Truk , and AI Stalin has used the opportunity to re-established a final stronghold in Vladivostock! The Americans are stacking fighters to the ceiling! Germans just bought their first nuke to deal with the situation... hehe good times. Elk vs Allies 20 synth fuel per starting factory flat bonus Japan round 12.tsvg AI Australia felt better after the increase on starting fuel, they've been keeping Japan on edge bouncing defending fighters around. South Africa was knocked off and British-India is near collapse, but the rest of the gang is still up to no good in West Africa. Think it could go another half dozen rounds A pretty Epic battle vs AI Britain for control of Mexico City! hehe been taking this one full invasion USA, but the North American air fortress is pretty impressive. Japan didn't have enough strength at the ready after the long campaigns vs India and Russia to turn around and directly take on Australia or USA. So instead they blew past Hawaii and the West Coast and headed to Panama. Axis are sweeping across the South America now, with German tanks leading the way and a massive Italian army finally ready follow along for the Atlantic crossing. Even with tactical nuke strikes by both Germany and Japan over several rounds, the British and Americans are determined to bloody us still. US AI has fifty some odd fighters defending the homeland. Good times! This one might go into the 1960s lol Elk vs Allies 20 synth fuel per starting factory flat bonus Germany round 20.tsvg

@colin once again great game, look forward to our future wars.

@mattbarnes While looking at the map as drawn in TWW it can very much look as though the proximity of Northern Germany to the Danish Islands is roughly equidistant to that of Mainland Denmark or Sweden. However in reality the choke points created by the straits (between Denmark & Sweden) are far more restricting than that of sailing off the Northern German coast. since one can hug (metaphorically speaking) the German coast and stay close to 20 - 40 km away from any part of what would be considered part of the Danish Islands. Furthermore, since the mechanic is really meant to embody the ability of being able to block movement through the strait via a defensible area that would offer the ability to mine or torpedo any navigable parts of the straits... This part of the Baltic would not be considered part of that.

@Hepps I have seen some maps with some different special units that look like they would add to the game, such as the kamikaze unit from the 'Hearts of Iron' map, which is a Japanese fighter that has the same attack and range of a normal fighter, but costs a lot less and has 0 defense.

@LovePlayingAAA Good catch, it appears we missed a few updates on some of the HeavyDestroyers and will fix that in the next minor version. ImprovedDestroyers and AdvancedDestroyer techs still exist and have been updated to make different improvements for destroyers now. This post outlines the sub/destroyer changes: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/493/total-world-war-december-1941-beta-2-8-0-5/392 (there were a few adjustments to that original vision). The notes haven't been updated yet for 3.0 but are in-progress and hopefully be added shortly. Please use the new TWW 3.0 for discussing the new version: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/1181/total-world-war-december-1941-3-0-0-0-now-available

Little one is a galley, big one is a man of war. Both can fight, I really dislike the instantly killed dedicated transports of some games.

@Cernel No, one of the reasons "tuv" option was added was to override the purchase value as well in case you want to value a unit for the AI and TUV calculations differently from its purchase cost. Creating unused purchase rules and not assigning them I think is messier than just allowing "tuv" to be directly set for the unit.

ignore that sorry

One quick holiday teaser for all the Canadians out there... The turkey unit unfortunately provides all units with a -1 Att. and Def. penalty. But rest assured... all your troops die in a blissful Tryptophan educed coma. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canuck warmongers!

@redrum kk Japan and NewJersy bots run the latest pre and have maps updated

@beelee might try "TransportC8 D1 (already available) " if subs get out of Line. Seems ok so far though, ( U-Boats just took a beating as I type this ) but "Those Boys been in Dry Dock too Long". : ) With a C5 DD it'd no longer be the Fodder Unit. Also, just noticed, if a DD is fired on in CM while going to another SZ, You cannot move through that zone in NCM due to it have been being in a "Combat Zone". Another boost for the DD : ) Oops ! Sorry just realized probably not the right spot for this : )

**** FINAL RESULT **** Just received notification that Icelander defeated Wasp in the Finals. Congratulations to Icelander for his victory. It is worth noting that BOTH Wasp and Icelander kindly donated their prize money to TripleA development. Thanks to both of you for your generosity and good sportsmanship. Warm Regards, Deltium

@Black_Elk GG then! Score 1 for the Axis! Yeah, just create a new thread here in the forum and put the number after /topic/ in the PBF settings. The rest of the settings you can pretty much take from our existing game. Go ahead and start it up using 0.2.7 when you're ready. Good luck!

@Gully Yeah, sorry forgot about this. I'll look to start this up this week.

Haha right on! I got all keyed and fell asleep watching the talking lamp, so maybe tomorrow is best. That way we can give Frostion a proper run here. I'll cue up the Conan soundtrack, Battle of the Mounds style and try not to die too quickly

Congrats Bayder!
