it would be so much simpler if triggers just activated in the order that they are listed in the XML, top down. I actually thought that it worked that way.

@Schulz Its some what possible by having a map with only 1 round battles so that the defender can choose to either retreat or counterattack on their turn after just taking 1 round of casualties.

The BC updates have been merged and I encourage folks to test them out the latest pre-release and give feedback here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/1.10.13840

@redrum That worked

@Cernel Thanks for catching that. Updated at The Hub. Yea I try to stay consistent with upper and lower. Doesn't always work though : )

Of course they were more effective, but that is on the attack, not on the defense, so two different subject matters entirely. You've not limited their attack capacity in conjunction with other ships but their defense. On the issue itself I'd suggest keeping the removed AA defense that they had before vs Destroyers but letting them defend at least at 1 and 2 respectively, regardless of situation, or 1-3 if you prefer that. Maybe even 2-3. Still like the direction as I said, but without fog of war of some sorts ambushes are just too unlikely and they will find themselves hunted into oblivion in the high seas as it is now, not being able to be rescued by the main surface fleet in any effective manner due to their inability to contribute significantly to any fight.

@Cernel Ellis just lists the 1939 values and specifically invites the readers to extrapolate from the sinking & building figures. For Italy, I simply calculated Italy as a member of the Allies in 1944 & 1945. Ellis puts Axis shipping losses in the Med 187,000 for 1940.

Yup, so what about removing the victory conditions? How much would that be worth in allied bids? Seeing a huge Japan fight a land war in Europe for example.

@Captain-Crunch Yes it did sound a little vague but it is an idea after all, and for the purpose of your knowledge this thread is not intended to be spam or at least that is not my intention. I am an AA fan since many years and also an electronic engineer, some of my colleagues have developed devices for their gaming and i thought putting some tech into AA could be useful and add value to the community. But lets see what ideas people have, its always interesting to hear!

@beelee hehe ya I post at Sportsnet as Mr DCherryjr and I wanted to tell them about Adam Levine whos playing the Superbowl that Levine once told a girl he doesn't give autographs to ugly chicks ... but I didnt post this because I want people to still enjoy the whole Superbowl but I'm not a fan of his ... anyways too bad to hear some Styx guys are jerks but this vid was a pick out of the older vault and thanks for your vid also

For sure, its definitely a cool map. The learning curve is a little steep, since its sufficiently different from other maps I've played that I can't really do like a ready substitution from previous experience, but I dig it. Just loaded that last save with the map details off, and its interesting to see the difference. I think I should have also mulled over the notes a bit more, but it was fun diving in. Yeah I think you're right about using the spawns as the basic building blocks. Especially since the other cheap ground units often have one resource that is really expensive driving the cap.

@Cernel I really think you are getting into a completely different issue at this point. Having alternative retreat rules would be a good feature request to discuss and I think most people agree the standard A&A ones leave a lot to be desired especially around your case #3.
