Game 3: VictoryFirst (CP) vs. Tamer of Beasts (Entente) | WW1 1914, TGC Balance

[Tamer of Beasts]

@VictoryFirst I don’t know how you post those dice. I actually did roll a die for it and it was also, I believe, a 4. How do you post it?

Just a heads up: I had to edit the Italian inf. into Albania since I believe the game counts the AH transport as making the SZ hostile, thought the rules specify that it does not.

Thanks, I will look into that issue. For now, what you can do is edit move the infantry in, or use the non-combat movement to unload the infantry. Both methods work. No need to manually make Albania and its units Italian :)

You’ll notice I edited my purchase at the end of my turn. I meant in the first place to buy a fighter, but I guess I accidentally clicked on the artillery. You may not care, but I still thought I’d mention it for the sake of full disclosure. No cheating intended.

No worries, I always assume my opponents play fairly, whatever they do. If you edit something at the end of your turn, I will assume you made a mistake or forgot something.

Those dice results are usually in the Turn Summary, I simply copy/paste them.

If they are not visible there, you have to enable “Include Overall Dice Statistics”. Then click on “View Turn Summary” again, scroll up and you should see Combat Hit Differential Summary above the Dice Statistics (not sure why it is that way, but it works 😀)

@VictoryFirst Forgot the French (nothing weird happened, though), but here is the UK:
Combat Hit Differential Summary :

Ottomans regular : -0.50
British regular : -1.00

I meant how do you get the single dice you roll for extraneous artillery and such?

Oh, that. That’s the a&a.org dicebot, you put inside these brackets [] the word dice XdY, with the X the number of dice and the Y the number of dice sides.

So, to roll one six-sided die you type

[dice 1d6]

and a dicebot message with the die result will automatically be posted. Note that sometimes the die result gets posted earlier than the post of the person who rolled the die.

1d6: 6

@Tamer-of-Beasts

I managed to turn this game into a forum game. All you need to do now is click on"Play by forum", do your turn and then click on “Post Turn Summary”.

[VictoryFirst]

@Tamer-of-Beasts

Actually, you need to fill in your forum username and password I believe before starting the game. It will auto-remember your username but not your password, even when “Remember Password” is checked (at least for me it doesn’t work lol)

[Tamer of Beasts]

@VictoryFirst IT-US 3.tsvg

When I try, it tells me my username does not exist. Hence I played it by email.

Yeah so you would have to switch from the TripleA Forum to A&A forum, but on second thought I prefer to play by email and just send the save file because if you play by forum you have to post that turn summary.
