Loading a transport after you’ve moved it one space

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog

Thank you for that info. I moved your posting from “Account Merge” and reopened this topic (that was accidentally locked).

Does that cover the “Unhandled Rejection Error”, discussed in the very first stickied topic, too?

Not sure I have any other suggestion for you, considering you’ve tried the AppData deletion already.

Does the problem still persist? Maybe it was a short outage/server lag 5 hours ago.

@0verki11 said in Troops/Artillery on Transports:

but it would be really slick to add an error handler. If a user tries to put too many artillery/tanks onto a stack of transports, see if there is an open spots on any of the transports and check if any transport has two troops. If so, then just move that troop over for the user and add the tank/artillery to the transport.

I like that you broke it down step by step. Procedure’s correct too. Good post.

Ah, I think I figured it out. A complex is considered an enemy unit so you can’t blitz through it.

You did figure it out. Well done.

TY!

Can you tell me where you moved this post to? As you can see I am new here, and from digging around there seems to only be one location for all posts relating to Axis & Allies 1942 2nd Edition.

We have this category for it:

Play Online Axis & Allies - > Axis & Allies 1942 Online

So that is where it has been moved. You can verify this by looking at / scrolling to the top of the page. Right under the Axis & Allies .org logo you see the place where your thread is.

The category you originally posted in is for the boardgame. For computer/online games we have dedicated forums.

Gonna file the two glitches I found in two separate threads.

First, the QoL changes and addition of ranked mode have breathed new life into this game for me. Thanks a ton for implementing both.

Anyway, this glitch is something I call “Phantom Fighter Move”. Allow me to explain:

Scenario: I have two separate stacks of German Fighters. One in Karelia, the other in Germany. During Combat Move Phase I move both of them to attack Caucasus (2 moves away from Karelia, 3 moves away from Germany).

Battle Occurs, all of my air units survive.

NCM Phase: I should only be able to move my Fighters that started in Germany one more space, and my Fighters that started in Karelia two more spaces. If I individually make my moves, this will work as intended. After I’ve individually moved each of my Fighters with two moves left, I will only be able to move the remaining Fighters one space.

However, if I use the new “SHIFT+CLICK” feature to move the entire Fighter Stack at once, the glitch comes into play.

For whatever reason, SHIFT+CLICK"-ing the Fighter Stack in Ukraine lets me move all of them 2 spaces, even though some of them should not be able to move that far. This trick allows for illegal Fighter Movement that is earth-shatteringly overpowered in arenas like the Pacific, where fleet positioning is entirely based on the limited air range of opposing FTRs/Bombers.

NOTE: I do not know if this occurs for Bombers as well as Fighters. I have not tried it because building additional Bombers is usually poor play and I am only playing Ranked Games at the moment.

If this bug is not reproducible on your end, it may have just been a one-time thing for me. Sorry for the false alarm if that’s the case.

Not a huge bug, but a bug nonetheless.

Thanks for listening.

First, I really like the new system. I just do, it’s not perfect yet but it’s good.

When you move all of a unit out of a territory, especially via transport, I find it confusing and I have to think twice about it.

I saw this below and I thought, oops I forgot to load the units. But I did. I’m wondering if a unit count goes down to zero if that icon should be grayed out to indicate they all have moved.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog It works but the dossier can get a little fidgety. I still have not gotten the hang of it. For me, if I accidentally left-click along the way, I just start from scratch. Sometimes I’ll reset an entire region of the board just to see what is happening.

Also, this is a tough one. I wish I had some suggestions for making it better. Generally speaking I like the new way but I keep making mistakes (esp with transports). At least the reset is super quick now. Shift-Right-Click for the win!
