      @johnnycat Hello there. I have not opened the file but am going to guess that you will need to redo your J4. Those Commies that rolled into Yunnan were the 1st Commissar Army so if you do still attack, you should lose a lot more than two planes unless you get the lucky dice of course

        @trout OMG that’s right

        Darn this game is so difficult.

        Ok well can you teach me how to do it ?

          @trout so in my simulations I did not give you extra rolls. But I still easily wiped out the stack so I guess I might lose at most another two planes.

          Good catch. Of course they weren’t in their little special units so I forget all about that.

          I truly love this game but I doubt many more people will learn to play it.

            @johnnycat I think you just need to send the Commissar to his box on top of the map and replace him with an activated Commissar using Edit Mode before you roll dice. If you don’t know which one is an activated one then hover your mouse over them until you find the ones that say they provide the extra dice rolls. For your war planning, the Commie Army should roll 5 “3s” and 1 “2”.

              could you send me the file with it set up? Or photos of what to do?

              There are commissars all over the top bar - some can be moved but I have no idea what to do to get it to work.

              Maybe if you show me what I am trying to do - with the correct units in that territory the game will roll correctly?

                So the game appears to have given your 19 units 21 defense rolls.

                Screenshot 2026-03-12 at 7.03.05 PM.png

                But I am not good enough to read this table and know much more than that.

                So did I do it right this time? I still lost 2 planes but whatever. I just want to ensure I did it correctly .

                  Hi Cat

                  That looks correct. An extra roll for the Commisar and 1 for the Tank adds up to 21

                    @beelee I still lost two planes!

                    But I have no idea now what was to be expected. I guess the normal TripleA battle computer does not work or would it? I did not even check, I just rolled the battle and saw that there were 21 defense rolls.

                        Yea the battle calc isn't a 100 %

                        Something got corrupted in your G3 save. I couldn't find where it happened.

                        You said you did a save from History ? maybe ? If so that coulda been the culprit as History saves are kinda scketch/delicate.

                        You can also go to auto save and restart a game from there. There will be a lot to sort through but 🙂 ... yea Idk maybe I misunderstood what happened.

                        At any rate, I couldn't find any reason why it went wrong.

                          @beelee OK I bet that history save was the culprit.

                          This game is the most amazing game yet!!!

                            yea so in case you didn't know, always save at start of turn, for the History save. Also it might double produce income. I only use it as a test but auto save better way to go .

                            You should git hub some of your skills and improve it 🙂

                              @johnnycat Someday I will finally learn that picking a fight with J when their whole air force can join in it never works. But that day is not this game 👎 😠 😧 😲

                                A couple days ago our wonderful Emperor Hirohito, who is of God himself, was told by our scouts of a very odd thing that occurred in the China territory of Szechwan (where wonderful spicy food comes from).

                                According to the scouts, China and the Evil Commies colluded to clearly do something evil.

                                They collected all their major units, including those Nasty Flying Tigers and some new and VERY SCARY Communists with advanced armor (they actually use radios) together in the territory and they started making signs.

                                The scout said that all sorts of signs were being made and put up on billboards, and signs on vehicles and it appeared that each individual soldier also put large signs on their backs!

                                Written in Russian and Chinese the signs appeared to say, "AIM EVERYTHING HERE"

                                So after some consideration our wise and powerful Emperor told General Hideki Tojo to "give them what they want."

                                      Where are these guys? I don't see them on the map. Are these guys part of the Romulan Battle Group Rule ? (i.e. Star Trek Cloaking Device) 🙂

                                        Tank Armies: a Tank Army consists of 5 Tank units and 1 Panzer General unit. Place the Panzer
                                        General at the 2-dice symbol at the front of the Army Board. Then place 1 Tank unit at each of the three
                                        2-dice symbols and the last two Tank units at each of the 1-dice symbols.
                                        The Tank Army has a total of 10 dice rolls at “3” in each round of combat (explained in Section IV, § 5:
                                        “Panzer General”)

                                        So if I put an Elite tank in the group do I get 11 dice rolls?
