possible to adjust piece values before game?
-
@beelee unfortunately, SBR here is not the SBR of the global 40 version. In fact, I don't know of a TripleA module where this could be "dragged and dropped" into play.
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.

@the_good_captain right on. So the factories firing their AA guns before air battle seems the only difference. Or at least the biggest one. Do the factories have built in AA guns ? Or do you fire an actual AA gun ?
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.
-
@beelee actually, on second thought, I don't think that'll work. I think the SBR will take place before any other combat the way triplea does it. I can't remember. I'll have to check.
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.
-
@beelee sounds legit. Factories have no AA in these versions. The AAs in all these are the "neutral", capturable piece. If there is no AA present, it goes straight to any interceptor battle instead. If there is no interceptor battle, the bombers rolls a d6 and the bombed country immediately pays that to the bank. There are no damage tokens, the money comes straight out of that powers current IPC (exception: in annivesary, there are damage tokens)

@the_good_captain
So when I updated Pacific to trprt D1 it deleted all the Australian units. Which is not desirable I would think. I'll have to add them in manually since triplea deleted them.Take a little longer
-
@beelee thanks again for doing this my friend. I am really excited. Just made a donation.
-
@the_good_captain made a pull request for the "Pacific". Will take a look at Europe a bit later.

Trying to get Fighters to escort. Changed <property name="WW2V2" value="true" to "WW2V3". Didn't work. Probably cause other problems as well but just trying to see how escorts work for now.
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

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
-
@The_Good_Captain I uploaded Pacific to sendspace
https://www.sendspace.com/file/x1row4
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.
-
@beelee ok got my head outta my ass enough to get fighters to escort/ intercept. See if we can get SBRs to work better
-
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 -
@beelee ok just checked again and the air battle will take place before the aa fire. So, yea, I don't think we can do anything there.
-
@beelee got another idea to try. Full circle here lol
-
-
@beelee looks good! many thanks.
-
@The_Good_Captain a pull request is in for Destroyers bombard at 2.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/9354
No more movement on SBR. I'll take another crack at it. Still seems something can be improved. Maybe not : )
-
@The_Good_Captain Europe is now available on triplea with destroyers bombard at 2
-
@beelee There seems to be some ransomeware crap messing with your link.
-
@general_zod Which one ? one of the sendspace ones ? They seem ok to me but aren't needed as both requests have been merged.
