@VictoryFirst I think Renegade just wanted to use a sculpt that already existed. So they went with the historical inaccuracy. I’d just let it be. It only irks ww2 nerds like me I think.

Then again, your comment is also a fun “Easter egg” that might get players googling.

And I totally understand about the amount of games. I have four games going and a fifth starting soon. I too was playing this one quickly because it was more for familiarity and devlopment than being competitive. Take your time. No rush. You and I are “in the same boat”.

@VictoryFirst i agree that the mine issue will be problematic. I believe if you can solve it with the “two boarders” solution, it would be worth it. As for the time it would take: I will do the ‘how to video’ with the next version of africa. when/if you finish the mines update, we will simply update the download links. to that end, i will mention in the video that there is work being done to make the mines work better.

that’s how i feel about it anyway. also, we need to work out how we can direct folks to donate. should you send me a link?

Trigger FreeUKTanks: British has 2 shermen placed in Atlantic Ocean Convoy

This is quite funny - the unit is called “sherman” but TripleA apparently has an in-built plural feature where it creates plural forms of words on its own. As far as I know, it simply adds and “-s” to all words except for the word “infantry”, because the plural of “infantry” is also “infantry”. But if you change the word “infantry” slightly, it does add an “-s” again (“mech_infantrys”).

But for “sherman”, it detects the word “man” in it and its plural is “men”, so it turns this word into “shermen” instead of “shermans”. This is most likely an error in whatever code deals with this.

OMG ahahhahaahhah!!!

@VictoryFirst i just read your discord notes - lol nice

@VictoryFirst this is probably too much to ask but is there anyway to allow the line of the territory to cut through each bubble? Then at least the side on which the mine is placed would be more visible?

@VictoryFirst huh, wow - guess you’re right. I guess that’s something that’s more obvious when you’re on the physical board and I absolutely would not have put that there last turn with this information but shrug yet another learning experience… detonate my mine? lol

@DoManMacgee G1 start.tsvg pre game RP for each convoy zone spent! Let fly at your convenience.

@The_Good_Captain 1d7, not 1d8 😀 All 8s, 9s and 10s are rerolled when flanking. If you roll 1d8, you can roll an 8 which has to be rerolled

Thanks! I had “1d7” typed up and 2nd guessed myself. Thank ya sir.

go for 1d7 - those flankers cut deep

@VictoryFirst the prompt for the Malta RP is amazing.

@DoManMacgee

UK3.tsvg

@VictoryFirst I got a prompt that said I “didn’t have the required units to place in Malta convoy zone”? I went through the rulebook looking for something that said I needed a special unit to deploy supply/fighters to malta but couldn’t find any?

anyway, file posted

@VictoryFirst wow thanks for going that far down the rabbit hole. i might mention this in the “how to” video just in case

@VictoryFirst said in Rommel's Last Push - DoMan (Axsi) vs TGC (Allies) - Redo:

So be cautious when removing units using edit mode! Some units are vital for this game to work.

yeah i think thats the line im going to use in the video if i mention it at all

@DoManMacgee

USA7.tsvg

that went about as bad as it could have for the axis i think. I’ll do whatever you want to do. I don’t see how the axis avoids instant defeat shortly. Our tradition continues… bleh. Still very useful for rules rust and TripleA module exercise.

@VictoryFirst it works quite well imo. I converted the 3 british to usa troops before combat on the USA turn to make it work right. in any case, the usa invasion might best be handled using the forum roller. less edits that way. this module is great! as soon as you have the mines thing worked out, let me know and I’ll start cutting the video. not long now! Also, if the mines becomes too much of a time suck, let me know and I’ll start cutting the video with what we have. I have no complaints! very smooth

@VictoryFirst @DoManMacgee

Eric, I’m going to switch to Victor’s recommendation. Let’s Make Africa Great Again lol

@VictoryFirst said in The_Good_Captain (Axis) vs. VictoryFirst (Allies) | North Africa, Rommel's Last Push:

@The_Good_Captain By the way, from which territory do you draw a supply?

Mersa Brega

How do you know they were from infantry and not from ATG?

@VictoryFirst said in The_Good_Captain (Axis) vs. VictoryFirst (Allies) | North Africa, Rommel's Last Push:

@The_Good_Captain You are right, THAT unfortunately is not clear from the screenshot. I forgot. Are you OK if we just reroll the UK roll and roll the entire battle on the forum?

of course! MAfricaGA

@VictoryFirst lose german tank and two infantry

@VictoryFirst

I will attempt a retreat now. I meant to say that one of the infantry losses should have been Italian from the initial round.

@VictoryFirst ouch. the attack into mersa matruh is cancelled and two infantry stay behind in Jalo.

wow.

okay, will you defend or retreat in Bir Hachiem (there is only space for six pieces in Mersa Matruh)? updated file below:

I6 prebattle.tsvg

@VictoryFirst i misspoke slightly but rolled correct.

All German infantry have been destroyed. Tobruk is captured. Will post shortly.
