No more movement on SBR. I'll take another crack at it. Still seems something can be improved. Maybe not : )

check it works ok

then ill update to git might take a while

Check SBR on this one for Europe. I'm still not 100% clear on it

Edit
oops have to turn on airbattle options in map options

Open your triplea folder, open downloaded maps and replace.

Idk if I can get Strat boming to work better in Europe. I'll look at it some more. If not, the Destroyers will only bombard at 2 anyway.

the @The_Good_Captain is Gung Ho here. New member wanting to use triplea for a tournament.

Can we get an update on

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/9297

Thanks

Tried adding this one

<property name="Airborne Attacks Only In Existing Battles" value="true" editable="false">
<boolean/>

no go.

Fighter has:
<option name="canAirBattle" value="true"/>
<option name="canIntercept" value="true"/>
<option name="canEscort" value="true"/>
<option name="airDefense" value="2"/>
<option name="airAttack" value="1"/>

Gave Bomber canAirBattle too with A0 D0. No joy though.

@wc_sumpton or anyone, how do I make the ftrs escort ?

Thanks

Take a little longer

But, you could roll for AA fire in the dice roller, adjust accordingly, then start your combat move and the factories will just have no AA shots. Can still do the Air battle that way.

At any rate, I'll look at it closer when I dive into it.

Probably doesn't matter for what I'm thinking, but, if I make the factories non "isFactory", which means I can then make the AA fire before the air battle, I think we'd be there.

Not a 100% certain and I need to take a closer look, but if that's the case, might be able to make it happen.

In the fewest amount of words (from the errata for Anniversary - which applies exactly to Europe and Pacific):

"Fighter Escorts and Interceptors
Fighters can participate in strategic bombing raids. Attacking fighters may escort and protect the bombers, and they can originate from any territory, range permitting. Any or all defending fighters based in a territory that is strategically bombed can participate in the defense of the industrial complex. The number of fighters that will defend is decided after the attacker's Combat Movement phase is completed and before the Combat phase begins. After antiaircraft fire is resolved against the attacking air units, if there are any defending fighters an air battle occurs between the attacking and defending air units. This combat is resolved in the same way as a normal combat, with a few exceptions. The fighters have an attack value of 1 (2 if the attacker has the Jet Power research breakthrough) and a defense value of 2, and the bombers have no attack value. In addition, the combat lasts for only one round. After the battle, any surviving bombers proceed to carry out the raid as normal. Fighters participating as either an escort or a defender cannot participate in other battles during that turn. Defending interceptors must return to their original territory. If that territory is captured, the fighters may move one space to land in a friendly territory or on a friendly aircraft carrier. This movement occurs after all of the attacker's combats have been resolved and before the attacker's Noncombat Move phase begins. If no such landing space is available, the fighters are lost."

Otherwise, I have been getting around this issue by using independent dice rolling servers to resolve declared SBRs and just not moving the pieces in TripleA. We edit in the results since SBR is usually resolved first anyway.

P.S. I really appreciate everything my dude. If I can help you out in any way esp. with any AnA projects, please don't hesitate to ask.

What I meant by the SBR's was, ( which I wasn't very clear ) should I make it how Global 40 does it ?

Cool you got stuff going on using triplea. Lots of Cool People here. Probably be a day or two before I get to it.

SBR in Europe and Pacific ...and (for that matter) as an optional rule in both anniversary versions in TripleA are not in accordance with the oob rules (or in the case of anniversary, the official errata).

In all four the process is as follows:

1. defender declares if he will launch interceptors
2. Defending AA guns fire at ALL attacking escorts/bombers. (hits are assigned by owning players choice)
3. surviving ESCORTS fire at any interceptors in one round of combat - only 1's are counted as hits
4. interceptors (even those that were hit) now return fire - 2 or less counted as hits.
5. surviving bombers conduct SBR...

I can cite all the sources and post on request and if you need Panthers blessing, I totally understand but this might save us all some time: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36776/anniversary-errata-optional-rule-escorts-and-interceptors

Beelee if you fix SBR and the IJN transports in Pacific, I will make a legit donation in appreciation. I run a youtube channel on AnA strategies for serious players that is heavily dependent on experience acquired using the TripleA platform against live opponents. I am very strict on using oob rules though in order to evaluate the game as it was designed.

In a few months I intend to take this channel into strategies for the original Europe and Pacific games and TripleA is vital to that endeavor. In other words, I understand not many are playing this now but I will likely be running several games at once on the forums with different opponents and so I came here to see if I could get them tuned up.

I will give a shout-out prior to the release of that series of videos and ask my audience to donate to TripleA at that time if these fixes can be made.

As a side note - I don't feel I'm just someone shouting from the sidelines. I have created digital map downloads on the .org website for Classic, Revised, Europe and Pacific when none existed before. I just have to draw the line somewhere with regards to spending my time in this hobby and its gotta be at dabbling in TripleA dev-manship. I think dialing these versions in would/will be well worth the effort. Thanks ahead of time for any work done on this project's behalf. I really appreciate you and Panther and everyone else doing the upkeep on this platform.

Respectfully,
TGC

DD bombard @ 2 for europe v3 no CA bombard

No... not for the v3 variant, but for the standard variant instead, see
