@beelee Then play on sir. Russia can have a good romp for a few turns I believe and Italy too weak to do anything in the Med for awhile. Taking London should help Japan out a bit though right away in addition to Nazis swiping UK’s cash 💰

@JohnnyCat

Hi Cat

Here is an example of creating a Corps and moving to it's Box.

Fire up edit and select "Perform Move or Other Actions". This will allow you to move any units of any player that have movement. It will only work during Combat and NonCombatMove.

Also, all Boxes are connected to Germany to enter the board. In early game before G and SSR are at war, this prevents the Soviets from moving into their Boxes.

There are two ways around this. You can switch G and SSR to at war temporarily.

Now you can go back to "Perform Move ... " and move to the Box. We're moving Commisar, 2 Tanks and a Mech from UKR to 1st Corps.

Then we're going to move Commisar 3 from the "Overflow" Box to 1st Corps. He is the unit that activates the Corps and will give 1 Tank and himself a extra die roll. The 3 designates an Attack 3 Unit, in this case a Tank, to receive the extra die roll.

Lastly we move the 1st Corps Token to UKR.

Note
You can make multiple moves when in edit "Perform Move or Other Actions" without having to click on it everytime you make a move. It will stay on that function until you change it to something else, unlike "Add Units" which you must click every time.

Then return SSR and G back to Neutrality.

You can also simply add and delete the necessary units but you need to be precise as it won't catch a mistake. Sometimes, at end of Placement for example, you will have to use edit add and delete because the move function won't work.

Usually I just leave as is and form the Corps/Army during CM or NCM next turn.

When doing combat you move the Units from the Box back to the board, i usually put them where the Token is and then move from there so it's easier to see the correct movement range was used.
And move the Token back to the Box.

Be sure to use the Active Commisar 3 for combat. Leave the inactive Commisar in the Box.

Also, Importantly, you MUST move any defending units from their Box to the TTy being attacked before you move any attacking units into the TTy. Otherwise while the defending units will show up on the map, they will not take place in the battle.

Changing the Political Relationship is quite rare and usually you will just hit the edit move button and move them.

Important
If a Army/Corps take casualties that would make it inactive or disbanded, you Must take the Commisar as casualty first or he will keep giving his bonus when he shouldn't.

After battle you can switch the Commisar back in for one of the other units that were in the Corps, provided they survived of course 🙂

Also, you don't have to use the tokens. You can simply leave the guys on the map. You would just move the Commisar for the Active one in that case.

It's usually pretty easy to remember what is in the Corps, unlike Army Groups which can get a little confusing. If I expect to engage in battle soon, I will just leave the Units on the board.

Usually I use them because I think it looks cool 🙂

@nothingtoseehere not rly but i believe in terms of my time things are beginning to clear up had little time to look at it yesterday

My thoughts run about the same as those already mentioned. IMO most of the errors posted on GitHub are the auto-generated, so if the forums are used to gather additional information, that would be a good thing.

Cheers...

Right arm. Yea I hadn't been on 2.7 lobby for some time. I remember there were some there for a while but they were limited in how they performed.

Keep up the good work !

If this is the latest documentation it will need amending to reflect your post above.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/main/docs/map-making/reference/map-yml-file.md

I see 'version' is in the docs, that should be taken out.. The rest of it at a glance looks okay. Was there something else in there that needs updating? As far as YAML goes, it's a question of the differing formats. In the shorthand format, the quotes are needed so that YAML knows where the field ends. In the long-hand format, with 'map_name' on its own line, YAML infers the data type based on the first character of the value. So, it can tell the value is text, and YAML treats the rest of the line as text.

A lot of maps, map.yml format will be like mine, single player there appears to be no problem. However will the new 2.7 lobby work correctly?

There are going to be two servers! The lobby server and "support server". It was planned to have 3, {lobby, support, maps}, but maps & support were combined.

Immediately, the support server won't be able to index maps that have a bad map.yaml file. Those maps won't be listed as available for download. Locally, eventually the map will be invisible to the game itself. I think there is some flagging put into the code right now to use the old map loading system. In short, it will become a problem soon.

After the 2.7 launch, I have high on my list to try and provide a map indexing status page of some sort. I recognize that process is pretty opaque right now.

Update

You will need to download manually unless using latest prerelease.

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks. I see you have quite a game going on with Alex right now. But whenever you want to start up a Game 3, I am ready. I usually have a bit more time for our hobby during the holidays as I work in an industry that slows down quite a bit at this time with folks taking vacation time.

@rogercooper thank you so much!

@crockett36 scramble orders for 110 and 111?

@rogercooper said in Polygon Grabber Missing:

2.7.15204

It was really helpful knowing a known good version too! This and the screenshot and the terse statement of the problem were kinda perfect 😄

@wc_sumpton
Another rabbit out of the hat!

I thought this was not possible because of multiple capitals for a nation.

Next release will have the above in and links to 2.7.15025
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025

As this release gives centering focus on active player's capital at the start of their turn.

@panther
Thank you and @LaFayette for looking into and talking care of this.

Happy Thanksgiving to both and your families.

Cheers...

@johnnycat

No way !!!

Ask away 🙂

Start a new game and screenshot the Naval Mines

testing to see if I can delete a post

edit
I can't 🙂

@ted-self
Attached an xml with added Industry-Hvy & Trench for each of the capitals
see lines 8845+ for the code

@simon-hibbs
It should all be in the documentation, best to give it a read and in game use the tool tips.

@simon-hibbs

Don't feel bad, me and @beelee have talked at great lengths about our 'Duh' moments. I feel like I haven't learned something if I haven't slapped my head a couple of times. In a pinch a solid wall will also suffice.

Cheers...
