TripleA map for Global 1940 Alpha Final

@questioneer:

When you do another update…where will you post it???  Link???
Thanks

I recommend

http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/

and

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/

When the “modified” date for the “maps” section has changed you can be sure that an update has been done.
Or inside the map section you will find the maps where you can see the “modified” data, too.

Is there an auto way to handle asking for scramble orders or OOL midturn or am I getting spoiled by the work that’s already been done? Asking for scramble seems pretty straightforward and would probably be handled much like it’s been handled in the past. Save the map right before the battles, post on the pertinent game thread, and ask for scramble orders. How about big convoluted battles involving multiple nationalities and units were the defender’s casualty choices could be big, such as losing bombers/aa/keeping one nationality’s fighting force intact by sacrificing some other nation’s arm/tac/etc?

I’m guessing you could save in the middle of the battle? And post that?

@seththenewb:

I have not tested scramble orders yet, but this is how it works during battles:

You can save in the middle of the battle. For example let the dice roll, see the hits - then save and ask your opponent to choose casualties via the forum.
Then load the savegame and continue the battle removing the units your opponent told you.
You can of course (manually) upload the savegame at any time. Your opponent can see what happened so far using the “show history” feature to be found in the “Game” menu.
The “automatic” turn summary and the “final” savegame will be uploaded to the forum at the end of the player’s turn. There is a special dialogue for initiating this.

Ok, pretty much what I figured. I was hoping for some snazzy auto post asking for OOL or scrambles. Thanks for the response though.  :-D

@Veqryn:

…
Global was updated today to version 2.7
(that is the file version)

You guys all need to redownload it.
…

Thank you :-)

What happens with ongoing games (i.e. savegames from 2.6)?
What do you recommend?

Thanks for the update Veqryn!

There seems to be an issue with scrambling to defend a seazone when the attacker lands on a nearby territory.

Scramble:
Scrambling is a special movement that the defender can make at the end of the Combat Move phase. It must be done after all of the attacker’s combat movements have been completed and all attacks have been declared. The attacker may not change any combat movements or attacks after the defender has scrambled.
A quick reaction team of no more than 3 defending fighters and tactical bombers (strategic bombers can’t scramble) located on each island or coastal territory that has an operative air base can be scrambled to defend against attacks in the sea zones adjacent to those territories. These air units can be scrambled to help friendly units in adjacent sea zones that have come under attack. They can also be scrambled to resist amphibious assaults from adjacent sea zones, whether or not the territory being assaulted is the territory containing the air base. They may defend against the enemy ships conducting the amphibious assault even if friendly ships are not present.

In a game I’m playing, my opponent tried doing an amphibious assault on an empty Denmark. There were no axis warships in sz112, but there was a tac & fighter on W.Germany with a functioning airbase. There wasn’t even an option to scramble the air. I set up some different scenarios with the edit tool and it looks like it won’t register unopposed landings as worthy of a scramble option. Put a defender on that territory or in that seazone and the scramble option pops up just fine.

@Veqryn:

Ya, thats a bug in scrambling, one that I fixed last night actually.  (the bug is in the engine, so it requires me to release a new version of triplea, which i will probably do in two months or so)

Basically, if there is not going to be a sea battle, PLEASE use Edit mode to manually move the fighters.

TripleA forgets to scramble if there is not sea battle.

Please add the new convoy system to the engine also.  Thanks.

I think I found 1 more very minor bug.  You can’t NCM a loaded transport through a sea zone with an enemy sub in it.  In the final alpha rules you should be able to, so I just used Edit to move past the sub.

Thank you very much Veqryn for your hard work.

OK.  It was a transport going from z66 to z54.

Thanks Veqryn.

Hello,

a friend of mine (Pomme) think he has found a bug with Triple A.

The latest Alpha 3 rule about japanese NO states :

Japan
When Japan Is Not at War with the United States:
• 10 IPCs if Japan is not at war with the United States, has not attacked French Indo-China, and has not made an unprovoked declaration of war against United Kingdom/ANZAC. Theme: Strategic resource trade with the United States.

In a game i’m playing against Noll, Japan has made a J2 DOW against Anzac and UK, and collected that 10 IPC NO at the end of their turn. They didn’t take Fic and didn’t attack Phi or any US unit. But still, they shouldn’t be allowed to receive those IPCs as per current Alpha 3 rules.

Here is a link where you can find that game vs Noll i’m talking about:

Wow there seems to be quite a few bugs after all…and the next update isn’t for 2-3 months???..uughh.

Probably need a compiled list of bugs for Garg’s tournament.  That will be hard to keep track of.
