I wasn’t really that concerned as the units carry over don’t they?

Hepps01

The objectives panel simply show all of the available options available based on the game design.

If the panel is used for “National Objectives” (this panel can be used to display many different things) then they are listed there.

The T/F mean True or False. This indicates whether the criteria to gain the reward for a National Objective have been met (True) or have not been met (False).

Hepps01

I’d rather not purchase them at all.

I’d rather put my money to other uses and spend my money for the love of the game. Not deal in Boardgames.

I buy and play games for the love of them… not as a currency.

Hepps01

I would refuse to buy this based on what I have seen of the map design already.

Given the lack luster performance of WOTC and Hasbro in general over the last many years it is apparent that they need to be sent a message about cutting corners and offering lack-luster products.

Personally I’d prefer to pay for a version from H.B.G. as I feel that they have a greater passion for the games and their players. It’s high time that gamers stop supporting producers who’s sole motivations are for the money and not the needs of the gamers who support them.

Hepps01

I use Paint.Net for pretty much everything.

What did you plan on doing?

Hepps01

I did both the Roman and Greek moves. However the post only seems to cover the Greek moves. Am I supposed to post 2 posts? One for the Roman moves and then post again for the Greek moves?

Thanks for the help.

I think with this I can now get started with PBF.

Thanks. We are actually working on some further changes to T.W.W. currently. Just to iron out some of the last imbalances we have seen in the last release. If it is to be the tie-breaker for the tournament then it needs to be well balanced.

I’m glad I am learning to play by e-mail, but truth be told I prefer playing live. Who knows. I may learn to enjoy this though.

Hi, Got your turn summary.

Question 1, Yes I am “Hepps” of Total War.

Question 2, I have no idea what I am doing.

I have made my Roman turn, but for whatever reason it will not allow me to post the turn.

Hepps01

Moilami,

Veq. said you’d be starting. When ever you are ready I am.

If it is quicker, we could probably get this game done in one afternoon on the Triple A lobby.

Hepps01

Remember the calculator is simply calculating the odds of victory or loss based on casualties from weakest to strongest in attack or defense value. meaning it is removing the weakest units first followed by better ones later.

So in your first example the carriers (from the computers perspective) would be the first units to be removed in a hypothetical (a computer generated battle calc. scenario). However, if it were as you described then your opponent would not be taking the carriers first as you could then simply retreat after one round of combat and all the fighters would be lost. Therefore in the scenario you described your odds of victory would actually increase due to the fact that some fighters (at least two initially) would have to be taken as casualties prior to removing a carrier otherwise you could simply retreat after the first round of battle and force your opponent to loose un-landable fighters regardless.

In your second scenario the Transports are considered normal units unless you are playing a game where transports are non-combat units with no combat value at all. In a situation where you are playing with transports that are not combat units then they would be omitted from the battle calculator. So if the defender is being shown as winning, then those survivors would be only the combat units. Transports would be in addition to those numbers. Now if the transports are combat units (meaning they have defense values) then they would be included in the Battle calculator. However, since the Battle calculator would, in this scenario, be accounting for them it would also be removing them first as casualties since they are the weakest units. If your opponent decides to keep them and take other combat units as casualties first, then you are likely to have better odds of either causing more casualties or winning the battle.

At the end of the day the Battle calc. is good for basic odds of victory or defeat and the number of surviving units. It does not take anything else into consideration. You still have to put some thought towards your maneuvers, possible changes in casualty selection by your opponent and also whether you are playing LL (low luck) or Dice.

Hi moilami, I’m not sure how we are doing this.

If we are playing by email then I am going to need direction or something, as I normally only play on the lobby.

I’m ready to start whenever.

Hepps01

I have the exact same containers! lol

Hepps01

If so much Memory has been consumed could he just purge the site of say…

Half the threads in the play Board games (If games have not been played in 6 months and is not part of a Tourney or League, I assume been finished and is therefore never going to be needed again)
Half the 128 pages of old threads in the “General Discussion”.

I’d have to think deleting all that erroneous crap would free up significant memory space.

Just a suggestion

Hepps01

I think (if I am not mistaken) all of these figures are from 1/72 scale.

So they would be close.

Hepps01

I have to agree. I fear that without some of the features that made WWI a truly unique and devastating affair this has the potential to be a fairly bland experience. One can only hope for the best.

Hepps01

Very neat idea. I look forward to seeing more as this develops.
