💥 1941 Global Command Decision - Official Thread
-
In GCD, the main objective is the capture and control of high value territories/zones. Infantry, artillery and armor. Air units cannot capture territories. Because of their low, 1 attack, and inability to hit infantry, their support value for attacking is very week. They also cannot be taken as fodder. Bomber-Tac are a little better. I think better to spend 20pus on armor, artillery and infantry.
For the sea campaign, transports and cruiser. Transport render submarine's isSub useless. All I'm trying to do here is get my transport to a load/unload location. Battleships are susceptible to submarine attacks, as are carriers and cruiser. I purchase transports to guard these units, but once the battleship and carrier are lost, I find no reason to replace them as cruiser do just fine.
Also, it's been about a month since I last played. But that was my strategy, infantry with artillery, with a few armor for punch. And run the sea with transports and cruisers when not playing as Italy, Germany or Russia.
Cheers...

How do Conscripts work? Is it "when opposing player moves into territory X, spawn new units belonging to player Y"?

1941 Global Command Decision - Official Thread:How do Conscripts work? Is it "when opposing player moves into territory X, spawn new units belonging to player Y"?
Yes, in 1941 GCD case it does the following; (In the xml see line 7188+)
- Adds old equipment to be placed, like 2x Armor-Lgt & 1x Fighter-Early
- Adds Inf-Conscript to the Purchase list, so the AI/player will buy these as they are a 'Fodder' unit
.
Japan also has a Kamikaze variant based on Sea Zones. see 7481+ -
@thedog Thanks for the assistance. I had looked through all that code, my reading of it was that bonus units were added to the player's purchase phase and then could be placed anywhere. Is the actual effect that the German player has the 2tank/1fighter placement happen in every territory from the list on line 7190 they don't own when their combat move phase starts?

Yes, but as greater Germany has been invaded, the player would/should defend with everything available.
.

No

@thedog Ok. I guess I wasn't explicit enough in my original question. If an enemy player moves into a specific territory, I want defending units spawned exactly in that territory and no other. My reading of the Command Decision code was that the Conscript triggers didn't do that which seems to be correct.
-
Correct, 41 GCD allows for the purchase/given of these units. The player may place them where they feel they are needed.
To do as you are saying, a trigger would need to be created for the entered territory to detect the present of enemy units and then place the corresponding defensive units.

Someone on GitHub has just posted this
Not in a step, but trying to add event: Filler event for child: Germany roll dice for 6 Armor-Hvys, 3 Armor-Lgts, 8 Armor-Meds, 1 HQ-Army and 5 Inf-Motorizeds in Bryansk, round 3 : 1,1,5,4,3,3,5,2,1,6,4,5,3,5,4,2,2,5,3,5,3,3,1. Current history node is: Round: 2
Perchance do you have a saved game you could post?
-
@thedog if you ask on the git issue, it should notify who made it
-
@beelee
It was made by tripleabuilderbot, so I dont think I can find out, can I ? -
@thedog yea it'll still go to there email. I did a in game error and builderbot posted it and I got notified of the responses.
Yea, don't think you can find out unless they reply. They should at least see it though.
Maybe post this link in case there not a git member

Hi ALL. It's been a while since I had time to play but it's nice to hear that 1941 GCD is making progress. Last time I had at it I simply could not play it on a Mac with any reliability but that was early in 2023
Today, however, I uploaded a new version of TripleA only to, once again, find out that just getting the game to run again eludes me hahaha
About the only thing I could see was that 1941 GCD shows up on the "experimental" maps.
I don't want to complain - merely wanting to share my desire to finally get a stable version of this game and not have to decode a bunch emails and forum posts and sift through a bunch of links to finally get it to work again.
AND I have NO IDEA who and how triplea is set up - I get that TheDog and others have put their hearts into this game but they do not control the TripleA engine download...
So having said that - could you guys please suggest some sort of comprehensive instructions for us on this forum and want to play your game but am not well versed in the tech stuff???
THANK YOU
And for what it is worth I still feel that this game is TRULY THE BEST of all of the TripleA games...
PS. I could not even "remove" the old maps - so clearly the TripleA engine itself could use some sort of update - again not wanting to complain as I have no idea how all that is even managed...
-
Hi @ezgaming
What version of triplea did you use ?
-
@ezgaming
You are using 2.5, I can tell because you have an experimental tab.
Although you can download with 2.5, it will not run.You need to download the latest 2.6 and download GCD within it and play it, this will overwrite your 2.5, so take the options to do that.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases -
@beelee 2.6.14653
-
@thedog YEP !!! Thanks. I got it working now. Silly me...
-
@ezgaming
Yay, glad its working!Feedback for improvement would be most welcome
