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.

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.

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

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

Update to 1.7

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 :)

@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

@VictoryFirst I would rename to same image in misc and replace it, then you can see how it fits. Send map picture when you do so I can see too :)

Edit
Nice Job On Free Ships ! F Yea !

Oh yea, so names in misc folder, Free ships in Changers units folder. Just need to rename him and put him in Changers folder and it’ll fire up

Forgot to change BB_Damaged image for JPN

Just replace in Japanese units folder

Heres 1943 EXP 1943 Boxes Setup.tsvg

I think you’ll probably want to keep the Units in the TTy if enough room. You can put the markers there to identify. If you’re attacking, it works fine as you can move form box but any defenders you would have to edit.

You can probably tell if battle is likely a lot of times, so leaving in the Box not that big a deal. You’ll also need to Edit any Formations that are created at Placement.

Will just have to play around with it and see what works best :)

Edit
Updated the save. I’ll just trigger everything so it’ll startup that way.

Fix Movement To and From Boxes. Must use Edit now.

Hopefully this has them all. Regular movement was whacking out, so you have to use edit “Perform Move or Other Actions” now.

Added Git DL instructions to first post.

@victoryfirst right arm :muscle: I think one can leave the Armies in the TTy and just move the token there in a lot of instances just to identify whats up.

As i said above, we’ll just have to test it out.

Just finished test turn for UK 6. Post up in a bit

@cornelis-post Hi cornelis just saw this. Yea were ready at the game thread https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39913/barnee-and-cornelis-post-g-40-expansion/59

Yea so when it asks if you want to scramble post a save to the game thread asking if your opponent wants to scramble from which TTy to SZ.

Then they will reply and you continue your turn. Sometimes when it’s obvious one won’t scramble, they’ll mention it at the end of there turn. So you wouldn’t need to ask then.

Also, if it’s a complicated battle, you will need to ask for OOL, Order of Loss. If in doubt, just post the save at end of combat move and then ask for any battle you’re not sure of.

Once again, sometimes this will be mentioned at the end of previous turn if it looks likely to happen.

Yea only the units that are immediately available after purchase get purchased first place phase. So Infrastructure as well.

We’ll walk through it till you get the hang of it. First game or two takes a little bit to get used too. Plus were playing on the new Box map, so it’s new for everybody. :)

But yea, go ahead and post your combat move save and ask for scramble on game thread and I’ll respond, well probably sometime tomorrow . Tomorrow for me anyway :) I’m just headed to bed. :)

Also if you do the @ sign it’ll notify me you posted. I don’t know why this didn’t. I believe @VictoryFirst is in your time zone, so you can ask him any questions as well. He’s in the Netherlands. I’m central usa

Edit
@Cornelis-Post The above should read

@barnee said in Global 40 Expansion Boxes:

Yea only the units that are immediately available after purchase get PLACED first place phase. So Infrastructure as well.

Everything is still “Purchased” at the same time just as in regular game :)

@VictoryFirst just noticed the sovietTank Tokens face away from G. Can you flip them ? The numbers go backwards when I do it. That’s why the commisars I have are backwards too lol

Change “DesertGeneral3” in Tunisia to “Panzer_General”. 1943 Option Now Uses Boxes for Placement.

https://github.com/beelee1/global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes

I think it might be better to leave the Army/Corps Tokens in the TTy with the AG as well as in the AG box. Seems easier to pick up on what’s what that way. I guess a third or more you could either remove or just look at AG Box to know.
