Oh brilliant. Very Intuitive. Almost like using an Apple product.

Why cant before you roll dice can you go back and change your mind and retreat? Should i click “Dossier” and hit R?

Its a one and done deal.

Another problem is NVM. You cant go back on that either. This is still before you place new units. The game isnt structured so segments of turns block you out of making changes BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY DO THINGS IN OTHER SEGMENTS. I get that it offers a dialog box, but players click quickly to get past all the window dressing. Please fix this.

@Imperious-Leader Hey, I get upset by bugs too but can you tone it down a bit? Report your bugs professionally first, then rant about dice. Plus we already have another thread about dice rolls; there’s no need to pile on in a separate thread.

One thing to keep in mind is that software development is not easy. TripleA has been around for many more years than this game and it has slowly worked out rules kinks. Sometimes the turn around on TripleA would be fast but other times it took much longer. I think the Beamdog team does do a good job of listening to feedback and fixing issues. Also keep in mind that sometimes issues that we see as easy might be hard to fix and some issues that are hard might have easier fixes.

The one thing that would be nice is the ability to communicate with your opponent to say, “hey, I found a bug, I would like to pause the game until it is fixed.” Or even just a “vacation hold” on games. @JuliusBorisovBeamdog and I have 2 games like that but we chat here about it.

@Flashman said in Where WOTC got the idea for this game…:

Surely Axis and Allies and Aliens would have been more interesting, with the humans gradually adapting alien tech and reluctantly co-operating against them but with a view to ultimate victory.

And I’ve got zombies already; I want little green aliens with ray guns.

Harry Turtledove is an author who writes alternative history books. I enjoyed this one. You may already know about him though.

So many different eras were covered by Airfix. My hobby shop had shelves of little boxes and terrain and tanks.
It was a great time to be a kid.

One of the best tricks in life is to sustain your childhood enthusiasm for hobbies into your adulthood, so that you can combine this youthful enthusiasm with an adult’s greater financial capacity to indulge in those hobbies on a much larger scale.

yes but those stores and stock were long gone by the time I had disposable cash.  :-(
Now the next step is to go buy or if you still have those old plastic army men 3" and the plastic tanks and get your self some ships that float and build yourself a big pond and now have naval battles and Amp landings on shores.

Just like playing with Garden trains in your back yard.

@ABWorsham:

I bought a toy model of the Iowa from a garage sale as a teen. She was launched in our lake. We then commenced to attack her with bb guns until she slipped beneath the waves.

It was great fun. We could never locate the wreck.

This may interest you.  The ships can be recovered by means of a floating marker (attached to a reel of rope) which breaks away from the ship and rises to the surface after the vessel sinks.

IL didnt you say you know or saw a picture of people war gaming on a banquet room floor or bigger and the guys would make attack and defend shots from many feet away for naval battles ?

Well sorta of. They would roll a huge d12 for atomic bomb hits and people were going bonkers. That was for The War Game: World War Two

From the latest War Room update:

we are going with this rule for FA:  “In Surface Battles only: blacks and whites are misses for the side with fewer Surface Unit Types”.  Why?  It is simple.  While in the more extreme cases the math doesn’t deliver perfect equality, we believe after much testing that it is a strong enough incentive for a player to really try to bring multiple types.  All other other ideas that we tested were too bloody or too fiddly to resolve.  We’ve changed to Orange Zone Penalty to not involve black dice but rather reduce Orders by 3.

1980’s however was a strange time for both sides and NATO and USSR were losing allies left and right and neither side wanted to engage in conflict so both sides tried to downsize their military while also trying to scare the other side.
