D-Day version 2 PoC
-
Proof of concept mod for D-Day version 2
Sets the territories to "water" except "A" areas, for hidden factories via map.properties and "ShoreBombardment".
All units are "isSea". Fighters are submarine like without "isFirstStrike" and "canEvade".
Fighters and Bombers are placed and have 0 movement. Because D-Day 2 only has 1 player both units should placed at the same time. Fighters must go into "P" areas while Bombers go into "G".
Surviving Bombers are returned to purchase they finish fighting. Surviving Fighters are returned after Germans NCM.
Any unit which ends its movement in a "P" area will be removed at the end of round.
Artillery support added as an option under "Game Options".
Compatible with 2.5. Game is not AI compatible.

But Wait... Dare's More!
There's more, he says? Dare's mor'?
I fixed my little fighter/bomber problem. And I do love me some problems. There's just the fighter (sub) strafing problem. Now a stack of 4 Fighters works without using edit.

Looking at the code, there is some clever cogitation and serious shenanigans going on
It will take awhile to work through.

Questions? I got answers!
The secrets in the sauce... er... ah... map.properties!

Ahh, map.properties
dont_draw_units=factory,FighterStack2,FighterStack3,FighterStack4No FighterStack1 ?
The AA guns are not on the map, so how do they appear?
What is the very small circles/loops for on the basemap? Mines?

FighterStacks are placed in territories that have more than 1 Fighter in them. Like factories, FighterStacks have no icon.
dont_draw_units=factory,FighterStack2,FighterStack3,FighterStack4allows these units to be placed on the map but the player will not see them.
On the mini map, in the upper right, is a small black bar.
This is the "A" area location with the factories.@thedog said in D-Day version 2 PoC:
The AA guns are not on the map, so how do they appear?
They are placed after the Fighters/Bombers are placed by checking the location of German Artillery.

Left over from the original map. This is a PoC so the map contains a lot of unused items like those little circles.
Thanks for the questions.

To help better understand the interactions between Fighters, AAA, and FighterStacks play a round, then view the history starting with Fighter placement.

Round 2, see below, do you need a FighterStacksX icon or did I do something wrong?
-
I see a Blockhouse in P1. This PoC is changing the original D-Day 2 from an all-air units to an all-sea map. The Blockhouse has a movement of 2 when it should be 0. New change is already up.
Your picture show one each for the FighterStacks but does not allow a casualty to be selected from the group of 4 Fighters. FighterStacks added to canNotTarget list. New change is already up. There's no way to stop units from stopping in the "P" areas. I have a routine trying to keep those areas clean. Maybe I need to do more testing on that.Thanks for the information.

New download. This removes any unit which may stop their movement within the round circles ("P" zones).
Cheers...

Naive question, there appears all the elements for removing the Pxx zones?
All aircraft could have a move of 10 and share the pathing/connection of Shorebombardment or
All aircraft could have a move of 1 and share the pathing/connection of Shorebombardment if aircraft and Shorebombardment started from a zone that had connections to all land zones?
