Broken Air battles with 2.6

beelee

you can check map options, think it's game options in 2.6, before game start and it'll show what's activated

heh heh git is a nightmare for most Was for me anyway and still is from time to time ha ha ha

As is with most things, it's not too bad once you get the hang of it

@azimuth Since 2.6 is arguably close to being released, you can also report in this topic (which should get the problem fixed if it is impactful enough to block the release).
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2999/2-6-release-getting-close-need-volunteers-to-help-beta-test-2-6

Otherwise, reporting in forum is discouraged, and the "Map Making" section is certainly not the right place for such things.

Azimuth

@cernel well, this is not a bug in the public game, just a feature used (?) by (some?) modders which is partially broken, that's why I posted in the map making part. But good copy for next time

@azimuth

hey at least it got a reply lol

I more concerned about this right now

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/12488

selfishly so

Think its applicable to more than just my mod It's good to have as many options as one can have.

Edit
I posted in wrong spot too. But since you got some traction I'm gonna jump on board lol

Interesting comment :
For example, there are units that get a +1 on 1st rd of attack or defense and then revert to ~~there~~ their normal combat modes. The only way I can make it work, is to play the battle in edit and pick the casualties manually. They still show as a hit or not according to ~~there~~ their combat values but don't auto hit.

Could I ask what the circumstances are for only one round of support?

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

yea so if they only attack by themselves, the get A+1 for first rd

Paratroopers and U-boats

They also get D+2 for U-boats and D+1 for Paratroopers for first rd

Normal is A2 D1 for U-boats and A1 D2 for Paras

Full rules are here https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion

@Azimuth

Oh i had already forgotten this. I'll right it down on mlist of todos

Azimuth

@beelee I think I am lost in this discussion

But I tried some time ago a trick that seems to work for units that have special bonus for first round only:

Make them isSuicideOnAttack and then whenHitPointsDamagedChangesInto to switch to another unit with the lower attack rolls. And they join the second round.

Give it a try!

@azimuth

hey Great Idea ! Will do

Hopefully myrd just busts out a support attachment for us

But yea, that seems as if it should totally work Have to add a few extra dudes but better than doing it in edit lol

wc_sumpton

@Azimuth is correct in this assumption that air battles are broken and I have created an issue within GitHub so that it may be reviewed.

As to @beelee discussion about subs and paratroopers in Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion, this should be moved to the Feature Request & Ideas topic.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

yea already got asvitikine aware of it on git. I shouldn't have hitchhiked on this thread though.

But I'm glad I did, as azimuth gave me a solution wether it gets coded or not lol

beelee

@azimuth

yea cernel pointed out on git that there'd be no way to take it as a hit though. It auto dies and changes to the new unit. How do we make it take a hit ? Multiple hit points maybe ?

but then if you didn't get a hit that wouldn't be right either

hmm ... seems as if there'd be some way to make it work

Azimuth

@beelee True...

Sorry, I used it for something else and didn't think of the invulnerability stuff...

beelee

@azimuth

no worries I still think it has possibillities

hmmm ... dont think i spelled that right lol

wc_sumpton

@beelee, @Azimuth

This has been fixed with the latest pre-release.

Topic can be closed!

Cheers...

P.S. Thank you @Azimuth for bringing this to our attention!

Azimuth

@wc_sumpton Great news! Thank you!
