@LaFayette Well, that was really more on the side of the user, as it would be the one adjusting the right bar wideness, but I've no idea if it is an easy thing to do or not. For example, the optimal size of the buttons is probably not the same if you are on a full hd or on a ultra hd, but of course there are many more items that go the same way, so I guess it's consistent.
What the mapmaker would gain is the ability of setting a minimap dependent right bar wideness independently.

Minor note, I would actually distribute the buttons this way, left to right:
Previous-Next-Skip-Sleep-Alert.

@Makalakalane thanks for a fun game learned a lot. 🙂

@trout

Good Morning, I feel like I just earned a college degree in Axis and Allies so future turns and games will be much easier now. Thanks again for being patience.

HOPEfully this version of Italy 5/Germany 6 will suffice. My entire mental process with all the games we have played has been to build a good start so that there is an interesting mid game and even longer.

Trout-cat-game-3-GERMANY_6_FEB_10.tsvg

But I also learned that we do have to keep track of quick exits like Sea Lion or losing Berlin on turn 6! As we started this game I kept thinking that Germany would be able to block any early (Turn 6) Russian assault but obviously I was not seeing the actual situation.

Hopefully now we will be able to play out a reasonably interesting game now unless I have still miscalculated but your 24 units versus 35 plus 7 mines should be strong.

GAME NOTES:

First edit was to correct the forgotten move of those two Mafia tanks from Holland to Berlin - they did not participate in the attack upon West Germany and the entire point of redoing Italy turn 5!

I had to use edit to move those amazing super weapons (Landing Craft) and

The paras did a daring paratrooper invasion deep into Russia in Winter; which was probably a waste of 8 Deutsch Marks or whatever... Please return their frozen bodies after the end of the war.

I moved and armed 4 Land Mines on the Border of Slovakia-Poland (The RED mines correctly labeled). And, of course, armed the 7 new Land Mines (These are RED and armed but have no specific label) forthwith on the Berlin-Poland Border.

I also converted 4 inf in Berlin to jacked-up-on-Meth super soldiers bringing my total to 10, the max allowed.

And I built 3 Atlantic Wall forts in Normandy.

Mostly this was a move-things-around-the-chess-board type of phase and stack up on defense stuff.

What an amazing game.

**** 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!

@g40newb

Hej there, nice that you are playing Oil and Snow...

first of al: it is the game mechanics: I decided that it would be not realistic for a foreign power to produce new units in the enemies conquered factories... so they remain disabled by this...
the conquere receives the terr's extra PU's and more emphasize is put on transporting units newly constructed units to the frontline...
creating logistical challenges once reaching far in conquest as is reality.

Keep sending all feedback and issues... as I am halfway and good update of this project, ( as it was years ago made and my first one )
and I can adapt all issues coming out of your player experience, greetings

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

@trout said in EXP Game 5 barnee vs Trout:

We will instead go to Hawaii which is his reward for getting his Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do later this year. He wants to go surfing.

I have a good Alaska buddy on the Big Island. If you gonna be there, let me know. He's way cool and has a badass boat. Take you fishing if you like to do that.

He was born there. Knows the place well 🙂

@guderian1 yes you played a fantastic game i did send you a message with my complements after the Anzac turn congratulation on a very powerful performance.

@djabwana @beelee I think the balance is pretty well laid out now. Scaling back the Bolsheviks is the last tweak we should implement. That buys Russia a couple more rounds to keep Germany occupied and USA to gather a sizable strike force. That was a good game though!

@stohrm A sphere would be very helpful for any scenario that takes the north pole into serious consideration, i.e. any global scenario past WWII IMHO. I agree with you about the tabs. I believe any data details should be in tabe, including diplomacy, game stats, and the battle calculator. Those are currently in popups to be opened from the context menu or by hotkey. I‘d like to unify those UI concepts, i.e. you can popup a tab if you like. And yes, I can imagine more data detail views.

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 🙂

Another Fun game Panzer. I didn't know if the J 2 would work or not. I used to do it in solo games and had some success. I tried it once against Victory but forgot some dudes to the PHI attack and then rolled poorly and didn't take it, so not a real good test of it.

Do you wanna do the Game Report for this one ? Maybe you can have your AI buddy help 🙂 I know you have a young Familie and work, so I can if you just don't have the time. I think it's good to alternate though 🙂

I have some more work to do now for the next update. Should be ready to roll again in a week or so. I'm sure you will want a crack at revenge 🙂 so we can battle again when you're ready 🙂

Edit
Here's a new place for the Air Boxes if you want. It didn't make the last update. I guess a Ftr Ace will still cause overflow but that's ok 🙂

I think it'll be most efficient to have both Ftr and Tac ACs in the same Box. Then just move which one is needed instead of edit back and forth

Congrats Bayder!

@panzerstahl-helm-0

oh if you were able to select all the casualties I think you can hit "enter" to accept.

Edit
you can also drag the edge of the window to make it bigger to show how many units if needed

Edit 2
Yes another epic battle. The early naval defeat was hard to come back from. I'm up for the Report on this one. I just finished the Trout Game 5 report and am working on the multi now.

It'll take me a while to get done. See if I can shorten them up 🙂

I don't think there are any pressing updates, so 2.52 should work going forward.

Let me know when you ready to battle again.
