Another idea: this would be perfect for lend-leased or captured units. So here we have France, which has just been conquered by the Germans. An infantry and an armor have survived the blitzkrieg but lay within what is to be Vichy France. With the system for multiple unit images in place one could make special cases for units that switch control. The Germans on their next move bring an Artillery into Vichy France and convert the Infantry and Armor into German units. The way this would work is that there are special unit images in both the Neutral_axis and German unit directories. These would not appear in unit production but only appear when French units switch control to being Neutral_axis or when previously French Neutral_axis units switch control to being German. This could also work with a lend-lease system (I will add example images for that soon)

You can use the battle calculator to see what the expected outcome is. It really depends on what the composition of the forces is.

@Trevan I suggest you not to make changes if you don't know what's the matter about it, especially in the moment that the change is not going to fix any known problems. The auto-elimination steps should rather be generally revised, maybe from scratch, so to solve the known problems and creating a system actually enforcing the correct rules (that will need to be interpreted, to some extent). Thinking hard about this, the only situation of only infrastructures remaining needing auto-elimination of non-infrastructure units I can think of is the case of defending units refusing to partake in air battles.

Thank you for the reply. I acctually solved it by examining maps that had it in their map options, like "the Great War". Not(!) every map has that code line in it's xml file, but at least as long as the map is based on WW2V2 rules, you can add the option to limit battle rounds by adding the above code lines to the xml files, like so; Find map in triplea/downloadedMaps/'map name' in map folder open file map/games/'map name'.xml find code section <propertyList> insert following code lines like image below; Then you should be able to freely tweak battle rounds limit. Hope this thread is helpful to others as well Happy conquering!

@colin got a few

@JOSEPH-PRINCE They are also included in the old 1.9 download. Canadians.zip Cheers...

I am available.

After intensively thinking I decided to make world map because it will be already possible to turn it into European map if somebody intend. Different aspects which will separated it from most other WWII maps but mostly it will be with v3 units and rules. More realistic incomes: Germany and USA will be relatively more stonger Double Sea zones in English Channel: Giving Germany opportunity threataning Allies shippings with submarines and air units considering Germany will start with French factory and most sea territores will be blockade zones. German Mediterranean: Germany will touch Adriatic. Russian's "life of road": Lake Ladoga is connected to lake of Onega which connects to Barents sea. Russia will need naval presence on the lake to reinfore easily Leningrad. Russia will have a specific cheap naval unit for this task which transports and defends. Siberians: Russian special unit with 2/3 stats and 3 Pus cost but can be placed on only south siberian factories and Russia starts with Mongolia. The issue is I'am undecided about the starting date. First option is Germany-Italy starts on prior of Barbarossa and Japan prior of the attack on Pearl harbour timelines the other one is either December 1941 or May 1942.

@Major-Arcana There is not much point to having a phase where nobody is fighting, as you could simply start the game when the actual fighting begins. It seems the whole point of Operation Dandelion is to launch a surprise attack.The buffer states were designed to be in the way and logically the Fascists must attack them and the Japanese will support them.The Nazis are assuming that nuclear weapons will give them the edge they need to win before the Japanese can match them. To work this in TripleA, I would make nuclear weapons a bomber-type unit which rolls 6 dice but also make it a suicide unit.The Germans would receive 1 nuclear bomber per turn and the Japanese would at a point as well. No nuclear bomber would be received if the enemy has a nuclear bomber in range of your capital. Give the Germans a deadline before economic strain and political infighting force an end to the war.

@Jason-Green-Lowe heh heh friendly advice was just saying you could have it included in the original map for a one click activation instead of an entirely separate map

@RoiEX <Fog of War> But could you make an option where there is a moderator or game master and that person is able to turn on or off icons. That way another separate game map can be used that would simulate FoW for players.

@RogerCooper thanks, I will check that map out!

@LaFayette Thanks, thats good to know.

Thanks a lot @RogerCooper. That does, what I want to do, in a very simple code. The only difference is that the tech development isn't known in turn 1. For instance the British don't know if the japanese might have long range aircraft and, thus, be able to make a full fledge attack on India i turn 1. But I can live with that when the alternative is to spend hours and hours trying to make triggers to more or less the same thing:) For other people who want to do this: In ressources you add this after PUs: <resource name="techTokens"/> In ressourceInitialize you add this after the PUs for each player <resourceGiven player="xxxx" resource="techTokens" quantity="60"/> In properties you add this: <property name="WW2V3 Tech Model" value="true" editable="false"> <boolean/> </property>

@LaFayette not sure how i would but regardless even if the thing is using curves to match a gamut it will not be 100% as good an originally colored graphic some information is always lost when you do it it's just a matter of degrees and again often times the unit is not of one hue to begin with so yeah… maybe we've talked this one past death at this point.

@Cernel depends what part of the US for pronunciation. My point is the colonials seemed to spell however and that is in part due to the first dictionaries that gave any kind of authoritative spelling only coming out in the 1800s. Before then nobody could say one way was more correct. With regards to official language, there is none in the US. It is a cultural point as some are trying to make English the official language to effectively racially discriminate. That kind of law would make translators unavailable and officials forms and documents available only in English . I think we perhaps should draw this discussion back to the game. The consensus is to favor american spelling of words (so color, not colour) for consistency. This really will apply to future work, existing maps are too many to change, coordinating that change across differing engine versions is also a mess. Just changing it would break a lot of maps for a lot of people.

It works now perfectly, unfortunately both Great war and GW1918 lack of png image. How do I can create relief tiles?
