Hello everyone, with the new year and a new support drive beginning, @mikawagunichi and I have decided to sweeten the pot a bit and generate some interest for our favorite league game variant. For any player who has never played PTV or whose most recent PTV league game was completed in 2023 or earlier, we will pay for a Gold badge for any player who completes 3 PTV League games this year. For players who pay for their own badge, we will still make an equivalent dollar amount donation to the forum. Limited to the first 5 sign ups, please DM if interested, thank you!

EDIT: : -0,33Hey, I have something interesting to tell you - during the Para combat in W Ukr, I accidentally had edit mode still on, and I was able to manually select casualties. I could choose any number of casualties I liked regardless of the roll I had.
I was thinking, and I think this way, we do not need to use the dicebot anymore. We can just ignore the first strike roll the para makes and choose no casualties. Then you can select the casualties the Para’s inflict while keeping in mind their first round roll at three.
Same thing for the Wolfpacks - ignore their first roll at 1, and then count the amount of dice that hit ‘3’. And you also get the dice emails for these rolls.
Might this be an idea? -
Forgot this lol :)
-
And yeah, I did choose to save a Taccy instead of a Fighter. Still wondering if that move was good or not. I killed a lot of your stuff but the Luftwaffe needs to be rebuilt now lol. And a new American navy is on the horizon.
Uncle Sam was still asleep? I thought I’ve already awaken the sleeping giant with Japan… :)
-
@victoryfirst wow i never encountered that. I’ll explore it. Sounds cool if so, although i really don’t mind dicebot. he’s kinda grown on me lol
But yea that would speed things up if so. One caution is that triplea does weird stuff sometimes when edit on. I don’t understand it all but errors pop up sometimes.
Anyway. I will check that out :+
-
@VictoryFirst the dice rolls also show up in history. I have to dbl check, but i think it’s the same order as in th battle window. Start lowest to highest bu t i can’t remember.
Yea that would be way cool. Those huge naval battles kind of a pita to hand roll. Paras only matter when by themselves, so not that big a deal. but yea I will check out after i finish Late 1942 off :)

@VictoryFirst I just tried the edit thing in combat. F yea ! Good find ! Gotta use your brain a little bit, but way faster than dicebot.
i think the only thing we need dicebot for is LMs now. We’ll see how it goes. Feel free to play that way the rest of the game. If no bugs, I’ll add it to Notes in next update. Probably do a notification at Game Start too
-
@VictoryFirst here’s a new place
it’ll fix the bessarabia Flow. i’ve gotta tweak the xml so factories don’t move in there place but that won’t work till an update.
-
@VictoryFirst another connection error. Marianas and Paulau. I notified Elk.
-
Nice work! Just sent ya a new one with those corrections. Tried to use the lip trick so it wouldn’t jack up the place too hard. Hopefully got it dialed this time. But let me know if you find any others
-
@black_elk F yea that looks good. We even got a little extra room for carolines. maybe I can squeeze another dude or two in.
@VictoryFirst I should have it dialed sometime AM for you. -
@VictoryFirst Back in Action :) Same link https://github.com/beelee1/global_40_expansion_uhd
Just slam the whole thing in. The xml changes won’t show in our game. I’ll do the bigger update after our game.I did tweak a few placements. Mainly UKR and Rostov so Bessarabia Flow won’t hit early placements by them.
-
@VictoryFirst F heres a new place if u want. S Italy spills into Albania instead of Greece now. Probably won’t be too many dudes in Albania :)
