Global 40 Expansion Boxes

What also bothers me is that the roundel for the Germans is on the top, and the Soviet one is on the bottom. I want the AG symbol on top and roundels on the bottom.
I accidentally did one of the German ones wrong, I didn’t feel like correcting that, so I kept the same outline for the other German ones. I also thought that would help distinguish the Axis from the Allied ones. But now, I come back from that idea, seeing the full picture of the map with the AG markers.

I can’t handle the asymmetry anymore! I will correct those asap, as well as the markers you mentioned. How many LM markers do you need? Which colors?

I will keep in mind that png should be lowercase. Do you remember which ones I accidentally saved as PNG?

@victoryfirst Right Arm :muscle: just finished the new dudes

Yea we can tweak the images as needed. As you said, were a "prototype "

Yea go ahead and start on Names. Elk in Roster mode. If you get stuck, ask him for help. Although he might be doing his civic duty as a juror :) Might be afk for a few days

Anyway, I think i just need todo auto place for timetable and the connections for the Boxes. Those will take a bit, but once one done, I can go paste mode.

We’ll be ready to Rock then :)

Oh yea, I moved D-Day to its Box. The dudes will still place in Alberta. Just looks more uniform to me.

At any rate, gonna try and bust this out in the next couple days. Probably overly optimistic, but thats how I roll :)

Hows G7 coming ? :)

OOps meant G 6 :)

@barnee

Just finished the markers for the timetable. Sent to you via email. Corrections for the army markers will follow soon, including the Desert armies, which I forgot to do.

Will start on those names tomorrow. G6 will also come at that time. Sorry for being late with that, I am almost getting drowned in all the work lol. I am playing 10 games at the same time, and I also have a lot of non-a&a-related stuff I work on at the moment. Probably just need to get my swimming certificate again :)

Anyway, if there’s anything I forgot to do, besides the names, corrected AG markers, and Desert armies, let me know. Sometimes I forgot who does what and what I need to do lol :)

Update to

Version 1.698
5/22/23
Connections Done.

https://github.com/beelee1/global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes

I didn’t add the entire world to the boxes but a good chunk of it . 115 TTys lol. Did Spain and Turkey but no other Neutrals. Was gonna do Sweden but said f it lol. It’s a pretty easy edit if needed.

Think I might try a name. See If I’m capable lol. Still need to update Notes too. I just made the 113 Box empty for now. Can use it for a decoration or more LMs if needed.

[barnee]

Hacked some Names together for placeholders until the real ones are ready. I spent a couple hours on it with gimp but my small cranium nearly exploded.

I’ll try and figure it out when have more time. Wanted to get something playable out. Still need to update Notes. If I get a second wind I’ll do a short and simple version then update.

Couple shots

Some Placements will need tweaked too.

[barnee]

Just a short nap :) Only US and UK to go and then Notes and we’ll be ready for Test Game :)

[barnee]

Gave the Desert TGs for now. We can swap when Tokens ready.

[barnee]

Update to 1.7
Ready to Play ! LOL

Change Log UHD Boxes:

Version 1.7
5/23/23
Boxes Done. Game Notes Update. Battleships and Super Heavys Fixed not Allowing to continue to Attack after taking Damage in Battle.

@VictoryFirst added your starter points to @Cornelis-Post to begining of Game Notes. Thought about a Notification but don’t wanna overpower Game Start. :)

Kinda Hacked on the Notes a bit. There always hard for me as I don’t necessarily explain things that well lol.

Anyway, It’s ready for a Playtest.

@Cornelis-Post if you still up for it, we can give Boxes it’s virgin run lol. I think the original game thread was good, I just didn’t realize you don’t assign Players like the lobby, because that was working for me.

Anyway I’m just gonna send ya new save on the thread. If you’re into it ,cool, if not, that’s cool too :)

@barnee

I started on the names and found out a way to make them look nice. But I am unsure what size they should be. At the moment, I am making them on 2048x2048 so that I can properly make a black outline around them. Then I can shrink them.

[VictoryFirst]

@barnee

What do you think about this? This is 100x100 pixels.

[barnee]

@victoryfirst I can’t remember the size as they vary. I just copied from the centers text and took a screenshot and renamed it. If you go to misc folder, you can pull the images into gimp and it will tell you pixel size.

I have 164x67 for 1st waffen. Only one I wrote down because there all different.

That looks good but a little blurry to me. Maybe it’s sharper on the board and not blown up ?

I know Elk says to use NoHalo when adjust sizes

I think I figured out the Fcknm pbem lol
