@Alexander @beelee @panzerstahl-helm-0 Good morning all. Happy Birthday USA! c8757442-3f7c-4f09-ae3f-8a78c85d748b-exp-game-2-multi-apbt-j17.tsvg Since I was in Local Mode, brief summary of what I did. Pushed forward but not in force into Soviet Union. Air Transported and fortified some extra dudes in Carolines, killed some escort blockers in Pacific, max built land units in mainland factories. Over to the Allies!

@Nothingtoseehere You will need to use workarounds here or play at https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/ PBF works fine there, as the forum-software is on a lower (but compatible) version than here.

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Always good to see friends. Well, almost always Flash Flood 2am last night. Foot of water in the basement. Had to turn off the gas to the hot water heater. Need to do some sandbagging around the window wells. Usually I can just catch it with a tote and bail but I was getting about 5 gallons every 15 seconds poring in. Couldn't keep up with it. Well w/e. It receeded and I was able to plug the bier fridge back in Woulda had to use a cooler and ice otherwise Shitty American light bier gotta be cold Game History Round: 15 Purchase Units - Japanese Japanese buy 5 Fortifications, 1 Japan_destroyer, 6 TotalWar_Tanks, 1 demo_harbour, 1 elite, 5 infantry and 1 mech_infantry; Remaining resources: 0 PUs; 6 SuicideAttackTokens; Combat Move - Japanese Trigger Kamikaze: Japanese has 1 Kamikaze placed in Japan Trigger Banzai: Japanese has 1 Banzai placed in Japan Trigger RailMovementAutoPlaceJapanese: Japanese has 2 J_Rails placed in Kiangsu 1 elite moved from Philippines to 35 Sea Zone 1 elite and 1 transport moved from 35 Sea Zone to 47 Sea Zone 1 elite moved from 47 Sea Zone to New Britain 1 JPNbomber moved from Kweichow to French Indo China 1 armour moved from Kweichow to Yunnan 2 fighters moved from Kweichow to Yunnan 1 tactical_bomber moved from Kweichow to Kwangsi 1 tactical_bomber moved from Kweichow to Kwangsi 1 fighter moved from Philippines to Kwangsi 1 fighter moved from Kweichow to Kwangsi 1 armour moved from Korea to 6 Sea Zone 1 elite moved from Japan to 6 Sea Zone 1 armour and 1 infantry moved from Korea to 6 Sea Zone 2 armour, 1 elite, 1 infantry, 1 pacific_transport and 1 transport moved from 6 Sea Zone to 36 Sea Zone 2 armour, 1 elite and 1 infantry moved from 36 Sea Zone to French Indo China 1 armour and 1 infantry moved from Korea to 6 Sea Zone 1 armour, 1 infantry and 1 transport moved from 6 Sea Zone to 36 Sea Zone 1 armour and 1 infantry moved from 36 Sea Zone to Kwangsi 1 Japan_destroyer and 8 NavyFighters moved from 6 Sea Zone to 19 Sea Zone 1 submarine moved from 80 Sea Zone to 72 Sea Zone 2 Japan_destroyers, 1 carrier and 1 fighter moved from 79 Sea Zone to 80 Sea Zone 1 infantry moved from Yenisey to Timguska Japanese take Timguska from Russians Combat - Japanese Strategic bombing raid in French Indo China Americans roll AA dice in French Indo China : 0/1 hits, 0.17 expected hits Bombing raid in French Indo China rolls: 7 and causes: 6 damage to unit: factory_minor Bombing raid in French Indo China causes 6 damage total.

@RogerCooper "Russia leaves the war if x number of its territories are occupied" sounds good to me. I would simplify it even further, if anything. Like: It's no longer optional. No more "after Round 4" condition. Not even the "only territories close to Moscow or Petersburg" condition.

@beelee unfortunately you cannot, bot comment is set at bot start once. Need a reboot of the bot to change it abd server access to do that

@LaFayette Success! I can confirm that registering, confirming and testmail work with 2026-06.16.15640! Thank you, that will certainly help!

@RogerCooper Yes, I liked it.

@drumstick919 @lafayette i’m wondering if this might have something to do with the new skin engine?

@RogerCooper said: I am not sure that this is true. I recently played the mod https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/WWIIv3_1941_UK_Factory in which the British starts with an unplaced factory. The AI places it in Persia. This is done through the bid process. Zero out the British bid and the factory will never be placed by the British AI player. The engine does violate the rules for placing factories. Cheers...

This is my interpretation of the rules & what I coded: At the very start of the round, if any unit has the attachment canDefensiveRetreat = true, the defender gets a prompt if they want to retreat, and to which territory. They may only retreat to friendly/neutral territories, not an enemy territory, and they can't retreat to a territory with enemy units in it, unless only enemy air is present, which is non-blocking. If the defender chooses not to retreat, then the battle proceeds as normal. If the defender chooses a territory to retreat to, then that territory is saved and stored for later. The attackers fire at all of the defending units. Any units that are doing a defensive retreat do not fire back. Casualties are removed, and then any retreating units retreat to the destination we stored earlier. Any defender units not capable of retreating remain and must fight to the end/get captured/get removed, whatever happens normally EDIT: I was originally going to have a property that applies to all land units, but it turns out that in A&A North Africa not all land units can defensive retreat (the truck and the supply token can't) so it pretty much needs to be a unit attachment. This offers some variation as the mapmaker can select what units they want to be able to do a defender retreat

@RogerCooper Yea I haven't looked at the new map process closely yet. I have updated a preexisting map twice and both times it has updated to the latest in the lobby fwtiw

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Good morning. Yes, World Cup over for G. France looking very strong this year so far. The WW2 pushovers are good at soccer/football. 2090d666-32ba-43e7-b8dc-d674da78782f-exp-game-4-trout-vs.panzer-j6.tsvg Game in local mode so short summary. Took Guam and moved stuff around. Added some units to Carolines as it appears that could be a target for you soon. That's about it.

@Cernel wasn’t even aware of all of these existing commands i do use the control click for getting an entire unit type. didnt realize at all that right clicking current deselects units selectively. i dont think it’s a great idea to flip the click tho not sure the current thing is broken just a bit convoluted and not well understood probably

I can confirm that it downloads fine now. That already was a good example for the workflow. Thank you

Try using a group chat to share dice results and file updates with all players. It's an easy workaround until the server adds the multi-recipient email feature.

Good points, we need to also keep in mind that the bots need to be available for peak lobby activity.
