G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread

@JDOW:

Not sure if you messed something up when editing the BM rules or so:D

There is certainly something wrong. If you add a second AA (10 figs + 10 tac vs 3 inf + 2 AA it shows plus 9 for the attacker.

I was aware of the UK Pacific bug but in this case the battles were simply 100% or 0%, here we might have a nasty bugs that produces wrong results which are not easy to see. Where should I report it?

I can’t duplicate this - there must be more steps involved to confuse it.

If you like you can log an issue on github but please try to come up with something reproducible first.

There is an argument that we should never show 100% or 0% when both sides have fighting units. The developers are also aware of the ridiculous bug with multinational forces on the attack.

Simon, did you see my first post about the calculator bug, too? Please check out here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39093.45
the bug can be reproduced.

[JDOW]

Simon, try it out: Japan 10 tac + 10 fic vs UK 3 inf + AA. What average TUV swing do you get?

Screenshots of the wrong calcs attached.

Thanks for the git hub link, I guess this is the right one and I believe this bug is rather severe as it produces wrong results that are hard to catch.

I think the problem comes about when Japan is not at war with Brit/UK_Pac/ANZAC.

Is a BM4 in development or planned? Or is BM3 likely the final incarnation?

Final until people push for a good idea.

[gamerman01]

Mastered BM3 already, Wheat?  :-)

[wheatbeer]

Hah! I wish  :-D

Just curious where it stood.

[Karl7]

Ok, I am confused…

Where do I get the BM3 file… I just downloaded the latest triple a file.  It has BM2.  There is no BM3 map on the BM thread…

I am at a loss…  :-P

Well I just deleted and redownloaded the G40 map pack and it works fine. BM3 is included in Global maps on TripleA, there’s no need to use saved games.

[Karl7]

well, the G40 BM3 does not come with the latest install…. so where did you get the BM3 map?

??? :?

[Karl7]

what is the G40 map pack???

[Adam514]

Open TripleA, go in ‘‘Download Maps’’.
Click on the ‘‘Installed’’ tab.
Click on ‘‘Remove’’.
Close and reopen TripleA, and go in ‘‘Download Maps’’.
Click on ‘‘World War II Global’’ and install.
Close and reopen TripleA and you should see it in your ‘‘Select Map’’ list.

[Adam514]

*Remove World War II Global

[Karl7]

yay!  it worked!

[Karl7]

On G2 I clicked on the Armour I had in Normandy (conquered it the previous Turn for Vichy) and blitzed to Northern Italy.
For some reason it blitzed through S.France and neglected the Vichy rule (was not my Intension).
Is this even a legal move? - I had in my mind that even it is a friendly (N)eutral the movement stops!

A quick answer is apreciated. Thank you all upfront.

[Shin-Ji]

No, that move is illegal.  You’ll need to fix it in edit, or just reverse the move and do it one step at a time next time.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Thank you Shin Ji, it is what i thought. I just didn’t realized it after my G turn and moved on with Japan after my Opponents R move, but wondered why he took Syria without battle in the readout.

I entrusted triple a that my tank would move correctly and herby advise anybody to double check in the future when blitzing from Normandy to N.Italy.

[simon33]

Blitzing through friendly neutrals is a known Triple A limitation. One of the things which would be nice to fix.
