EXP Game 12 Trout J 8.tsvg

Yea looking a bit tough for the Soviet Union. Scored a commie expansion bonus though. Get another next turn.

[beelee]

@trout

Yep I just tried us. You are back in action. You did it all yourself too on a massive update day for the site lol

[Trout]

@beelee Sorry! I kind of forgot about this game. Maybe subliminally I wanted to forget it I kind of forgot whatever strategy I had before but I do have some semblance of a plan no matter how desperate things appear. Interested to see if you counter in Yunnan. Your Elite came through to keep Singapore out of Allied hands for now. Over to Italy.

Good Evening

EXP Game 12 Trout I 8.tsvg

[beelee]

Not a lot of action. Sunk the US Sub in 93 and took another SSR TTy with the Para.

Edit
Been a while since I looked at this SSR in tough shape but rest of Allies doing good.

A lot of Yank Ships in the Pacific UK 69 bucks. Thought Axis were doing a bit better than they are

Edit 2
Yea this is a lot closer than I remembered.

[Trout]

@beelee Not sure we are looking at the same game I see Moscow on the ropes and Allies not making any progress anywhere. One of those "Lessons Learned" games for me. But the fight must go on! Bad boys up next

Just killed a destroyer and built some more air.

@Trout

Good Evening

EXP Game 12 Trout G 9.tsvg

Not much doing for jerry. Took HOL back and moved some dudes around to prevent Partisans. Block in 110. Some more U-boats in the Med.

Edit
lol Forgot to move LCV. I switched a Panzer to ROM also

EXP Game 12 Trout G 9edit.tsvg

Uggh forgot to move the aaGun too. He can just stay where he's at

[Trout]

@beelee Hi there! Finally could carve out some time for our hobby today. Russia hanging on by a commie thread! Over to the Emperor's gang

[beelee]

@Trout

Good Morning

EXP Game 12 Trout J 9.tsvg

There was error that wouldn't load JPN Trprts in NCM so I had to edit. I vaguely remember seeing that after the update and it was fixed.

Forgot how weak JPN is. Well they have one job. Give the Germans enough time to get to Moscow lol We'll see how it goes

[beelee]

@Trout

Reminder this one still going on too

[Trout]

@beelee Yep. Working on it now. Finished USA & China but need to go back to yard work before doing UK. I might forget later so wanted to let you know two things for now:

1. I did an Edit on China turn because I forgot to move the Elite & Infantry to Morocco from British Guyana
2. There is some kind of glitch which is causing an Elite that should be in SZ 16 (that's where I moved the USN) to pop up mysteriously in Manchuria. It appears that it's not effecting the game in terms of the game knows the Elite is in SZ 16 but visually the Elite is eating rice in Manchuria behind enemy lines. You'll see it when I post the turn after I finish UK

[beelee]

@Trout

Right arm. That's weird about the Elite. Maybe it's just an overflow placement of some sort. I had some sort of issue with JPN Trprts in what game I can't remember, but I think that has been fixed

[Trout]

@beelee 8b0b5558-575e-453b-a7bc-68ccf0893c7f-exp-game-12-trout-uk9.tsvg

Allies finished. Over to Italy now. Okay, another weird wrinkle. So I noticed that my USA bomber was still in SZ 16, I guess because he could land on the Heavy Carrier. But it was my intention to put him back at the Midway air base. So when I did that, the elite stopped eating rice in Manchuria and went back to his correct location in SZ 16. But the tank in SZ 16 decided to take its place in Manchuria. Again, if you hover over SZ 16, it shows the tank being there so I think all is correct except the tank appearing in Manchuria.

I think you're right about it being an overflow issue

[beelee]

@Trout

Right on I'll take a look in a bit. Just getting on for the day.

Edit
I had an incorrect placement. Here's the new one

place.txt

open you downloadedMaps and UHD Boxes, then map. Replace the old one with the new one.

@panzerstahl-helm-0 @alexander I had incorrect placement for 16 SZ that Trout found. New one is listed above.

Edit
you need to register your email with the dice server. I think I can then use our latest save and start a pbem game with it.

Italy coming up directly

8b0b5558-575e-453b-a7bc-68ccf0893c7f-exp-game-12-trout-I 9.tsvg

Not a whole lot going on. Took Smolensk failed in Vologda with a Parra attack

[Trout]

@beelee Good morning. Downloaded 2.5.9 but that US tank still is in Manchuria. ANZAC decided to get a little frisky this turn

35c695ca-239d-4259-9c9e-f1013c86206c-exp-game-12-trout-f9.tsvg

[beelee]

@Trout

Hi
Yea I didn't update the map to git. You need to manually replace the place.txt

So DL in above post.
Open triplea folder
Open downloadedMaps, it's next to your saved Games
Open UHD Boxes
Open Map

place.txt will be in there. Remove that one and put in new one and your good to go OR open existing place.txt and go to 16 Sea Zone.

Remove the one that starts with a 7 I think it was. Yea second from end

either way will work. Probably easier to just replace. Don't need to use a editor then.

Edit
Be careful not to remove "pu_place.txt" instead.

Edit 2
Here's the new one again place.txt

Yea the tide has turned. I don't think the Reich gonna breakout in time.

Nippon about to crumble. Was feeling good early but I could see it start to change a couple turns ago. Try and get it out before I split

35c695ca-239d-4259-9c9e-f1013c86206c-exp-game-12-trout-G 10.tsvg

1 LM hit

Basically reinforced Smolensk with a small Rostov attack and Vologda. Counter in HOL

If you register your email we can use the save to start a game with the dice server

[Trout]

@beelee Yeah, I am actually kind of shocked that I may actually win as a few turns back I was convinced that it was a lost cause. I am registered with the dice server but had to do it with the email address that I use when we email each other. I was not able to recover my proton email address

[beelee]

@Trout

yea that's the email I tried, your gmail one. I would check it. If it says you are, unsuscribe and try again. You'll need to activate the link in the confirmation email after you subscribe.

Yea it'll take a bit yet but you're about to dominate the Pacific

[Trout]

@beelee How about if I test it with starting a next game with you since I will be Axis? I think if I start a new game with the Gmail address, all should work fine. Because this game may be over soon unless we want to use the Total Victory conditions

[beelee]

@Trout

It doesn't matter. I just did it with the multi game using my and Panzers emails and it worked.

send a DD and a Elite to AK

No will play this as is. We can do it next game. We still have a few turns to go here.

So select the save, PBEM, enter our emails and Test Server, we should be good to go
