@farmboy Hopefully trulpen’s fix works great for you, but I can never find the right version or download to make play by forum work the way it should.
What’s working for me is choosing the “play by e-mail” option instead of local or forum, save the file and upload it. Everyone else probably has better solutions, but if all else fails you can do this. Good luck. -
thanks all for the suggestions. It works to do play by email so I at least have an option.
In the long run I will want play by forum fixed so I can do that when that option is available again. I did re download the release to see if that made a difference and it didn’t. I didn’t try the pre release as I thought that would not be compatible with the games I’m currently in. Am I right on that?
-
If I know what you mean by pre release, yeah I’ve tried a few of those to no avail
Might be our computers.

I have decided that there is sufficient interest in the Parisian Rebalance to upload into the standard global map package. You may need to delete and re-install.

Sounds of interest to me, what exactly do I need to delete/re-install. A specific map?
-
@flyingbadger If you go into “download maps”, if it isn’t in the upgrade tab and that tab may not exist, you need to go to the Installed tab, click delete on Global and then go back to Available and install. Clear?

Yes, thanks. Did that and I now see I have a new map to play called World War II Global 1940 Parisian Rebalance. For France, if the US or UK have captured Normandy and/or Southern France, and Paris is retaken, the US/UK retain control of these territories and can keep and building there?
Churchill would like that Canada becomes the new leader of whatever is left of the UK forces and territories.

Only of the North American territories though. They don’t collect income from Africa or the Middle East.

Yes indeed. That if you took Paris you couldn’t keep building in these territories was a real disincentive to retaking them.

That sounds reasonable. I like it! Should the UK fall, Canada and the Royal Navy can fight on and recapture England’s green and pleasant land (without having to wait for Japan to drag the US into the war).
Yes indeed. That if you took Paris you couldn’t keep building in these territories was a real disincentive to retaking them.
Yeah, recapturing Paris was not worth the US losing control of factories in Europe.
Great stuff. Next time I start a BM game I’ll encourage the opponent to play with these rules, and bait them into a Sealion! Not that those SS troops would stand a chance against the world’s best fighters…

Will the Parisian Rebalance be made available on PTV?

I would be open to this idea but I can hear the counters from @regularkid and @Adam514
“There is no need to prevent people leaving Normandy French in PtV because then the Germans lose the NO for the Atlantic Wall”
“Canada shouldn’t fight on after Sea Lion”
Actually, I am not sure what the counter to setting the original owner for Normandy to neutral will be but hopefully they will chime in to say what they feel about it.

I’ve asked this question in the 1940 2nd Ed category, but wanted to highlight it here as well to tap into the immense quantity and quality of A&A experience and intelligence in the league.
Breifly, the US invaded Normandy and the UK landed some reinforcements on round 5. Can the French or UK troops in the UK load onto the US transports in SZ110 (the Channel) during round 5 even though the US transports have already loaded/unloaded on that round?
Full details on main topic for this is here - https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39384/loading-units-onto-allied-transports-in-the-same-round-that-the-ally-unloaded-them
-
@flyingbadger French and UK units can move onto US transports on the UK and French turns but they can’t unload into Normandy until the following UK and French turns the next round.

… and the explanation why too.

Is the South France naval base operative for the axis while it is vichy controlled
-
I believe so.
-
Yes, can confirm that it is.

Hello all, not sure if this is a good place for this. Looking to playtest some political house rules & NO changes by correspondence or facetime. Hopefully should remove the requirement for a bid.
UKP & ANZAC economies merged.
-
Yeah, I like the concept of UKP & ANZAC economies (and pieces?) merged. It was a key feature in a house-ruled version I was working on years ago - didn’t finish because balanced mod came along before I was done.
I’m sure somebody here will want to play you with your variation, just be advised that if you don’t finish 3 league games by 12/31, your opponent won’t get many points from you no matter how skilled and experienced you are,
BUT. Half of our players would rise in the rankings (if that’s what they’re interested in) if they prevail against you at your own game ;)
Some of the OTHER half would probably be willing to play you in league play despite the points thing.But you posted in a great place, because there are about 40 active players here and if they don’t want it to count in the league, they may play you outside of the league and you still get what you want, I think.
Good luck, and have fun
