bretters axis vs sovietishcat allies +12 BM rematch

OOL for north australia sea zone?

@Argothair Yeah, a small balance nod I believe to keep carriers from being ridiculously overpowered. 🤔 Maybe at one point in development they acted the same as air bases? Would be a question for Adam & RegularKid.

i haven’t seen or read any strategies, and all of this strategy talk is above my head. there was one very sneaky workaround to my counter, a counter to my counter, if you will. glad it was not found ;)

the luck so far has been very lopsided, especially with my aa missing 0/15 and london was a complete wipeout. it’s an interesting game, let’s see what happens.

@Gorshak i completed my move, in case you missed it due to our conversations here.

@barnee Thanks for rebuilding our game. I downloaded the new version, and the marine now loads as expected.

Just one item that is problematic and this is probably self-inflicted pain.

The new map + new icons was a bit much for play first time. I have to spend a lot of time ensuring I know what all the units are since they look different and with the new map are placed differently.

All fine, but @pacifiersboard and I decided to use the G40 icons, and updated the map/units folder to copy the G40. I did that again after downloading the new game. I would have expected that when I run the new game, I would see the G40 icons. Surprisingly, the new UHD icons are used. I really would have thought the engine used the map folder for the icons, but does the “save game” store a copy, and that becomes default–that would be surprising redundancy of save space since it would happen for every game?
If not, where are these icon images coming from?

I have checked that the map/units folders on G40 and UHD are identical (a diff of the two folders shows no differences).

Any suggestions?

@farmboy scramble orders?

@Martin said in L25 BM Martin (X) vs sunkhareb (L + 35):

I need to play a bit slower, these days. It is the last week in my current job, and lots of cleaning up to be done. And first day in the new job, on Monday. Weekend should be fine. But I think the overall speed is OK. Nice game by the way! :-) I always get in trouble when I take Normandy with Germany. And I should revisit how to get more bonus points with the Axis and how to prevent the Allies from getting them too easily at least.

No worries! I’m not minding the pace of the game I think it’s OK too :) Yes very nice game so far! Surprised I pulled off Normandy and didn’t get in trouble but feel like it’s going to get hard to keep it soon LOL
