@The-Captain Where in Denmark?

@axis-dominion That’s not Larry. Larry’s account is @Larry-Harris-0 but he never validated his email address. I’m not sure if he’s using that email address anymore anyway.

@The-Captain When is the 6th Northern European A & A Wiking-Con?

I think it has to do with the time of day. For instance, right now, it seems fine. I’ll investigate.

But you’re right, I did have to login when I usually do not have to.

@The-Captain I didn’t consider my 25th Anniversary tour until after you had your event but I’m interested for 2026.

Any chance you’re willing to add Anniversary Edition?

@Private-Panic Given that I would be coming from SFO, it’s probably overall faster to fly to LHR.

@Private-Panic Approximately wherein Derbyshire? I’m not sure if I can make it but I’m looking at airports and flights.

@Private-Panic When do you think the next two BoB events will happen?

I’m considering visiting for one of these if it works well for my schedule.

@Panther 2.5.22294

But now I see that there are dozens of 2.7 releases on Github.

Here’s the game file. It looks like play-by-forum is still broken in TripleA. Since this is friendly, I didn’t bother with a dice server so feel free to use the built-in dice roller. Upload the save file when you’re done.

So Play by Forum is still broken? Please, fire up Cursor and get … it … done. Thank you!

@KaLeu Saw your message, again. I think I fixed it; give it another try.

@Chris-WWII-Invicta-Rex Hi there! I do have some packages for advertising if that sounds interesting to you. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not very much to advertise here. After you are officially advertising, then we can set you up to post about your game. After the game is released, it’s less strict.

I’m in the process of revamping the webiste/blog. As part of that, I have realized that I’m missing some important pieces: high resolution images of the box covers and maps.

If I do this myself, I will take months so I need your help. If one person takes on one games, we can finish in days instead of months.

Who can volunteer?

Also, I know that some of theses already exist in the world so lets use this thread to consolidate the links.

We should be all caught up now but please let me know if I missed anyone.

Thanks for the support everyone. I’ll pin those badges in the next 1-3 days.

Thanks for calling that out, I missed it. Most of the changes I mentioned are for www side of the site, which helps funnel new people into the forums.

Thanks for the suggestions!

@CentralCommando said in Celebrating 25 Years:

@djensen All of them seem interesting, as long as you get AI summaries to work properly, Apple sort of made that feature look bad. Here are some ideas to consider:

I’ll be using something more like ChatGPT.

• Dynamic Forum Icons: Many Icons on the forums are just speech bubbles, which takes away some of the identity of the games. Instead, you could have each icon sort of represent the games. (North Africa could have a silhouette of Libya and Egypt, Anniversary could have a 25th or 40th, etc.)

I can work on that. I’m not a graphic designer so it’s a little more difficult for me to get it just right. GenAI is okay at monochromatic vector art but not quite there yet.

• “Pinned” Categories: What I mean by this is that users can right-click categories and “pin” them to the top of the forum page. The reason why the pinning is air quoted is because it would only show up on that users end (If I “pinned” a category, only I could see it).

That sounds like a functionality request for NodeBB. It would be fairly core so I’m not sure I can write a plugin to do this.

• Themes: While it could just be light and dark mode, I think it would be cool to have ones based off of Axis and Allies games. For example, 1984 Classic would have almost like that 80s paint style, 1914 could have the gradient of the map over a tan background and have trenches and gas masks at the bottom. This is just another thing that would add flavor.

Themes can be difficult to maintain. I’m actually considering moving to the new default “look and feel” of NodeBB soon. I’ll have to re-theme that with the colors I would prefer so I’ll take a look at making multiple themes.

I hope you consider these additions!
