Global 40 Expansion Boxes

@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

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

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.

@VictoryFirst I Dig It !!! Outstanding Work ! :)

I’m gonna tweak a couple waffens so they same size. Shift place on 4th waff and commie AGs just a bit.

Looks Killer ! I Dig It !!!

[barnee]

hmm … I have all the waffens the same size but 1st still shows up bigger

which is actually the size I want. Well, looks like they’ll have to be done individually. Just gonna go for what looks good :)

@VictoryFirst I came up with a new idea for the overflow boxes. Instead of having them TTy specific, I made them owned by Changer. That way, everybody from any TTy can use them if wanted.

Right now I have the Changer icon just for testing purposes and I didn’t rename the Box either. Here’s a look. As you can see, the Changer “Rock On Dude” is in W UKR.

Go to Overflow Box and grab those guys in CM with edit. And they attack Bessarabia with there Buddies :)

So when you want to use them, send your overflow guys to the overflow box and edit in Changers Overflow unit to the TTy. Now one can see that that TTy has overflow.

When attacking you can move with edit. On Defense you’d have to place manually.

Anyway, when you get a chance, we need a couple names, Was thinking “Overflow” and “Overflow2” and a couple Tokens.

maybe you could just do something like

Over
Flow

and then use a different color for the 2nd one ? Maybe red and black ? Idk, just some thoughts.

I think this will work better instead of being limited, as well as not forcing one to use them :)

[barnee]

@barnee

lol

I think we’ll leave the last box empty for now until we play a game and see how they work. Most likely another overflow or a couple LMs. Maybe a decoration.

@Black_Elk try the upload chat thingy :)

[Black_Elk]

Here you go

Here’s a gradient you can use to kinda ballpark

little lighter

little darker

a lot darker

near black

midnight blue/black

I think if you push much further, like into a true black it’d just flatten into a silhouette, but you’d have to check against the midrange background. I’d probably just crank the chroma a little so you’ll register a contrast there with the neutral gray being used for the German ownership hex here. But you’d want to try it in game to make sure it looks good.

slightly widened (more crouched)

Also here is an agent provocateur, handler, and assassin. In case anyone feels like coming up with rules for those hehe

[barnee]

@black_elk oh she’s not in red anymore :)

edit
yea that’ll work Sweet ! :muscle:
