It never ends

2 Bombers shot down, 1 left and it does 1 damage.

@aardvarkpepper I replied to you but deleted it because I didn’t see @djensen 's post asking everyone to knock it off and agreed with it. There’s no point in getting into a flamewar over dice RNG.

All I will say is that, if you’re that burnt out by bad dice, just take a break from the game dude.

@juliusborisovbeamdog said in They Fixed Transports in the New Patch:

We’ve put together a quick guide explaining Transport Rules and UI for Axis & Allies 1942 Online.

I got this as a reply onto my steam review, too!
I will say this: That Guide is helpful.

But writing or filming a Guide instead of FIXING the problem is not professional, it is at best a band aid for an annoying problem which has been known SINCE DAY ONE

If this Developer Studio were my Company, I would be firing people left right and center.

As you know, I’ve been playing since the beginning.

It really is a marvel to think about how far the game has come in such a short amount of time. From the game literally crashing over the slightest of issues and turns taking 40+ minutes to a smooth experience that’s more-or-less ready for actual launch.

Good work, guys. Hoping for more maps to play on in the future.

The bug fixes are super appreciated. I can get through my 8 active games in ~20 minutes now Vs. ~2 hours before. Having the LHTR as an alternative setup is fantastic as well!

We don’t have any quick solution for that particular bit of lag at the moment. We have plans for a replay system so you can more easily see what happened when it wasn’t your turn. Yes, we agree and have some redesigns in process for the cards, with one of the goals being to make who’s who more clear to the player. Indeed, unit arrows are confusing. We have some plans to revise these. Bombers and fighters - we have a bug in the system that bombers should be clearly larger than fighters, but overall the design is based on the pieces from the board game. We have a few open tickets in the backlog for unit crowding leading to cases where you can’t see stack numbers. We still need to design an elegant solution and run another unit placement pass . Yay, thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:

@Ichabod Look again. There are two views: the zoomed out view and the zoomed in view.

The zoomed out view has the chits and the zoomed in view has the 3D pieces.
