@Trout

Oh boy! Germany now at 110 IPC!!!
Your calculation is right and I get the same result, hence I added the 43 IPC to Germanys treasury.
I am afraid the Russians will get some steel to eat in the near future....

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Good morning! My PC is showing there's a virus in my TripleA.exe file so there will be some delays while I get that rectified. The Allies must be defeated on the beaches before Montgomery arrives to strengthen them! But I have one question and one need for assistance.

Question: For a Norway attack, I am sending two dudes via trans and two via LCV, will TripleA trigger shore bombardment for the dudes arriving via LCV or does that need to be handled manually with DiceBot?

Assistance: I can't figure out how to get my two Italian paras in WG who apparently are protesting joining the Reich to drop into Normandy to join the battle as proper Nazis. Edit Mode not allowing me to do that.

[beelee]

@trout

Hi Trout

Triplea won't allow Bombard for units using a LCV. The easiest way to handle it, is to edit in a Trprt and use that to move the guys and then remove the Trprt after combat.

I'm able to move the Italian, now German, Paras to Normandy. You don't need edit to move them.

If you hover on them they say they are German correct ?

[Trout]

@beelee Thanks Beelee. I am dead in the water for TripleA until I find the time to reboot it due to the virus. So can't check your advice to hover over the Italian Paras at this time but I will assume that what you said is correct and proceed accordingly when I am back in the saddle [Texas metaphor for gents from G ]

[beelee]

@trout

heh heh didn't you know Germans are the Texans of Europe

:winking_face_with_tongue:

[Trout]

@beelee I am actually 1/4 German thru my Dad. His maternal grandfather emigrated as a kid, fought as a Yank during WW1 and married a fraulein who had emigrated to USA herself. They were both tough Krauts and lived into their 90’s. Life takes strange turns sometimes

[beelee]

@trout

Awesome !

[beelee]

@trout

heh heh our line came over in 1760 or maybe it was 1670 ? Idk it was after a big war in Germany and none of the men were allowed to leave so they could rebuild their Army lol

According to my sister. She did all the genaology shit. lol

Anyway, story goes his OM offered him a horse so he could join the Dragoons or ticket to America.

He said F the dragoons and took his new bride and the ticket to Virginia lol

Fought in Valley Forge so it musta been 1760 when they cruised over. Or maybe it was his kid or grandkid idk. Got discharged there. Musta been all messed up lol

Well, Teutonic stock does make for a good work ethic anyway ha ha ha

[Trout]

@beelee So Herr Panzer is our brother! Although a distant one

[Trout]

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Good morning Mr. Panzer sir. I think I got my tech issues resolved now with an assist from Senor Beelee. I called off the Norway attack and reshuffled my Romania attack to give the Normandy attack a bit more juice. Battle odds say 76% but I think my odds are a little better (I hope) since I believe it's counting Air Transports and LCVs as casualties which they are not on defense.

In any case, please give me what you want to take for casualties in order. Brits or Yanks first? What about the Bombers? Bad on defense but expensive to lose ... etc.

[Trout]

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Also I start a work TDY tomorrow - Wednesday so will be unplugged during that time. Thanks

[beelee]

@trout

yea if you wanna get a more accurate battle calc you can remove the non HPs when the battle calc screen pops up

It's still not gonna be perfect sometimes but it will get you closer. Even 2 or 3 hp can make a big difference.

I still just kinda wing it most of the time Except for the big ones

[Trout]

@beelee Thanks. This is going to be a technically complicated battle turn, so will most likely need to conduct it in Edit Mode. When I did a test, I didn't get past the 1st round because it is aligning the USA units incorrectly as Axis. Also it has my G units attacking the Italian flak tower, although I can correct that by editing it back in

[beelee]

@trout

yea I think you have to manually change the FlakTower after Takeover.
Some of the other Infrastructure won't change correctly either. If it's Undrg or Heavy Ind I think. Probably a boosted AB as well.

The Paras and LCVs will look Italian but will change to German.

[beelee]

@trout

So USA is showing as Attacker ? I just tested and they are listed as Defender. I removed the Air Trprts and LCVs and get this

[beelee]

@trout

This a older version where I didn't have the AC Tac yet, so nothing you can really do about that. Well actually there is.

The AC will boost a Ftr instead of a Tac, so since the Ftr hits at 3, take the very last roll of all the 3's and have him count if it's a 4.

Also, you will need to move the American 1st AG units to Normandy before you send in any attacking units or they won't participate in the battle, even though they show up.

[beelee]

@trout said in EXP Game 2 Panzer vs. Trout:

because it is aligning the USA units incorrectly as Axis.

oh, yea. I think that's because they moved after you had already sent units into Normandy if I remember right.

Anyway, do all the defense edits first and then you'll be ok.

[Trout]

@beelee Okay, will try that and repost. Will also make one edit that I see after more time to think about it. Although it breaks my rule of thinking too much about a turn - since that is bad training for the upcoming travel to Europe to play with the big boys.

[beelee]

@trout

heh heh It's late game. You'll have plenty of time to practice for the Tournament. Maybe we'll get the 2.7 lobby up and then we can play live

Probably be a while yet though

Latest update I added Tournament Rules Option. You have to deselect the ones not used but the TimeTable is updated and the Notifications won't fire that are turned off.

Haven't tested it much. We can do our next game with those if you want. I still like all the options on but ... we can give it a try if you want

[Trout]

@beelee Your solution worked. @Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Let me know your preferred order of casualties sir. File attached
4dfc3308-1528-411b-bc7e-684bea206fdf-exp-game-2-trout-vs.panzer-g13.tsvg

I made a few changes to throw everything at Normandy with the realization that I am going to need to retreat from E. Poland this turn.
