AARHE: Map files

[Imperious Leader]

I can no longer make copies of the maps in PDF. use only the AI extension. The PDF does not handle memory intensive files very well. Its primarily for text.

PDF basically sucks!

The Jpegs are increasingly poor quality as the map file got larger because the conversion borders on memory limits.

Use the latest files. They work

this isn’t a quality issue is it?

ai –-> jpg (Photoshop)
the result jpg  just don’t have the income numbers at all
everything else appears

can you check if it is happening for you too?

[tekkyy]

Empty CV (aircraft carriers) no longer defend at 3.

Nominally 1/1. Each FTR (fighter) or NAV (naval fighter) onboard increases defence by 1.

Would you like to reflex that on your battleboard?

[Imperious Leader]

hmmm…. how should it read?

3 carriers pics in 3 spots each with some caption ( defense with 2 planes, defense with one plane, defense with no planes?)

[tekkyy]

probably take up “carrier 1/1” with the “transport 0/0” initiative

so just one CV (aircraft carrier) icon at 1 position

[Imperious Leader]

so just one CV (aircraft carrier) icon at 1 position

ok will get it done.

[tekkyy]

please have date of upload next to each link in the future

battleboard:

*new AP and CV values

reference chart:

*“italy map” unit placements
*action sequence –-> turn seqenence
*turn sequence has 8 phases not 7
*re-add victory city with VCPs
*too much text at combat cycle information
*victory conditions?

Just downloaded the Phase 3 map with setup and new territories (Poland etc) again, and noticed that Norway and Switzerland are still missing the “mountainous” command.

[tekkyy]

hehe thats why we need a date next to each URL

you don’t know when the maps are updated

[Micoom]

How are you standing here IL? Almost done?  :-)

[Imperious Leader]

What are the AP values?

I had them in the one column where are they supposed to be?

[Micoom]

Did we change the AP value? It is still Attack 0 Defend 1 Move 2 right? Only they can be taken last as a hit.

[Imperious Leader]

Then the battle board is fine. I fixed the carrier however. will post

[tekkyy]

No we have changed it.

AP is now 0/0
CV is now 1/1

[Imperious Leader]

so how do i represent this on the BB? I am not gonna make a column for “zero”

[Micoom]

Maybe make a block at the bottom off the 1 column, just above the casualties zone.

[Imperious Leader]

ok ill do that.

[tekkyy]

remember to make it easy for us
put a date whenever you upload

[Imperious Leader]

OK all is done. player aids fixed, map fixed (under alternate 3rd phase map), Naval battleboard fixed.

[tekkyy]

naval combat battleboard

the carrier is attack 1 defend 1
not attack 1 defend 1-3 (which is the old system)

*you may like to make a ‘0’ space for transport for the attacker too

*remove bomber…which you’ve made cannot attack ships anymore…but can perform ASW with advanced ASW tech
