@JohnnyCat 354345234988-G40 EXP StevenJ vs JohnnyCat G56c End.tsvg RIP Japan

@Nothingtoseehere yeah didnt bother to look that hard after i saw that

@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!

I forgot to move the PG to W GER hence the edit. Things looking grim for the Reich. At least the yanks won Tough match coming up

@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 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.

@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

Players should be free to choose. But being forced to play too defensively and cautiously in every single game would be boring, and it wasn't politically feasible at that time. Both offensive and defensive Russia should have their own pros and cons.

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

@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

@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

@LaFayette ok so maybe all that wud be needed at this point then since the menu is icons i’d reverse the up arrow that wud make it more obvious that thats where you go to download

End Late 1940 [image: 1783054843949-screenshot-from-2026-07-02-23-59-44.png] Well a few mistakes. China took a beatdown in their attack, which they shoulda at least killed a couple dudes Nothing too extreme other than that. I don't really like my China defense but it seems Yunnan should be taken. That's a Big time bonus. JPN seems a little off as well. Idk they're probably OK. SSR needs to strike early if they decide to. I know OOB it's common and I've seen it a few times with HRE now. Mixed results so far, which is what is wanted. I would lean towards not doing it, SSR early attack on JPN but it can be effective. Vice Versa, I feel the same with Japan. Probably less likely to attack early unless SSR concentrates in Amur. Then I'd just say f it and attack I did against crockett and it had good results but he retrieved the situation nicely. Game is basically even in 1944 I think it is. Sadly, he hasn't responded in over a month now, so that promising game will most likely not finish.

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

I suppose it is worth pointing out that a 'revert' in git is just an undo update. The code history in Git is write-once. Git never deletes anything. So, in a revert update, based on the reverted change: any lines that were added are removed, and any removed lines are re-added. So, a revert is a new update, it just an inverted update to cancel out a previous one. Revert PRs are not at all special to Git, it's just another update. Once a revert is merged, a person can revert the revert update, add more changes to it, and then merge all of that as one bundle. So, a flow might be like this (the letters on the left hand side represent the commit ID, AKA the commit SHA): a43ae Some update that introduced a bug 3ads2 Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix Changes to the code base are "squashed" together. When a person clicks the revert for the revert, that creates a new proposed change. Bug fixes can be added to that proposed change, then it'll all be squashed together as a single commit that is then released. For example, when reverting the revert, this change would be proposed: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug In that proposed change, we can add the bug fix, eg: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fea23 Bug fix Then, when merged, that would land on the main branch and in the history as one commit, eg: fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix

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.

@TheDog I would actually prefer replacing this game with my new WW1 map with the same name. The current one just isn't good.
