@RogerCooper Yes, I liked it.

I divided Brest and Vilnius. I think it would be way too easy to defend against the Russians if territories 2 and 4 were merged. I was initially hesitant because I've always hated how, on the Great War map, it's a no-brainer for the Russian player to just hold the Belarus–Kiev–Warsaw line. (There's a similar issue in Domination 1914 as well.) It was also a no-brainer for the Germans to follow that route. Territory 4 (Brest) shouldn't create the same issue, and luckily I don't think it will, because: In the Great War, the key territory (Kiev, which blocks both the German and Austrian advances at the same time) is four territories away from Berlin and Vienna, but here it's much closer. The Central Powers will also have Hungarian and Prussian factories. The Russians will also get an increasing IPC penalty each round, so they won't be able to easily hold territory 4 and block the routes. Plus, the Austrians can move 7 in that case and take Kiev if Russia undercommits to that front. Territory 4 should probably be worth the fewest IPCs to offset its strategic importance. I'm still not a fan of it, but combining territories 2 and 4 sounds even worse to me. I don't know—maybe I can find another way to further reduce the importance of territory 4. I'm also not sure how to handle the Serbian front. Austria taking on Serbia while holding Galicia at the same time in 1914 was highly unlikely. In most games, Austria shouldn't be able to do both. Another issue is how to represent the Serbs. Having the Russians represent them would be problematic since all Russian units are meant to be removed if the Revolution triggers. Serbian units shouldn't disappear just because of the Russian Revolution. I don't like making the Serbs Allied-neutral either, since it would let Austria move everything to the east until Italy enters the war in Round 4. [image: 1783293216627-wwieurope-copy.jpg]

@EyesWideShut If you haven't already, you could try reinstalling the map. Some of the maps had to have that done after the update. Will ping @cernel for you

@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.

@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!

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.

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.

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

@hayertjez Hi Yea none of the bottom stuff works. you just do the 2 emails, test server once, then start. Do your turn. Top right hit "Turn Summary" copy that and save game. Paste the Turn summary and upload the save to here, your game thread. I ususally do the at thingy @hayertjez to my opponent so it notifies them. They'll get notified if they're watching anyway but that's just the habit I have of doing it. Most people will do a test turn in Local mode so when they go for real, PBEM mode, most of their decisions are already made. Makes for a cleaner and quicker turn, while also allowing you to test different ideas. If you need to save pre combat, e.g. there is a scramble option, I will take a screenshot of the area in question and post the save as well. Heads up that saving mid turn won't post the dice averages as it otherwise would. Here's a game I have with Panzer if you want to see how we do it. https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4286/exp-game-10-beelee-axis-vs-panzer-allies-operation-straweberry-fields-forever Edit I guess you could just send everything to your emails too. Just have to do it manually still.

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

@gr8gamerguy It has certainly been a long time since I worked on this project but I really want to finish it and condensed things down. With the advent of chatgpt I think ill come to finish it. (In case you ever see this message, thank you for all.the big reports)

@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

UPDATED: http://john.gregorek.com/Games/Generic.zip Added caveER_png to help identify territories for removal/addition. Shifted place_txt values to represent top-left corner of unit images. Corrected polygons_txt fragments for defining territories across map borders. Not happy with glyph branding. It's optional. Still have an issue with border fragments that requires your inspection. The reliefTiles hide the map border edge well, but note the dinosaur has been beheaded. [image: 1782669793495-tripleabeheaded.png]
