Frood AACalc Dicey / Sim / Odds Calculator: Updates and Opinions

[Guest]

Thanks Dan.

We have actually had a few games that were approaching the 99 unit limit on some large scale battles.  I doubt we will ever need to be worried about 999 being a limit.

Okay, I have made a change that I think will make some people happy.

If using a game ID when rolling combat, you can add additional e-mail addresses to the form and they should all receive the results. It will however always add in the saved e-mail addresses as well, you can just add extra ones now if you want.

All righty, I have fixed a glitch were e-mails were not displaying properly.

Let’s all vote, should Ender change his name back to Frood?

I vote yes…

[Guest]

I second that motion…

All in favor?

[frood]

Otay. But only if you give me good karma :wink:

I’m not going to be back significantly, I was just checking in because I was notified of a glitch in AACalc that I’ve now fixed.

Anyone here play Battle for Wesnoth?

Are you tired of Revised, Dan?  If so, you should check out our miniatures forum.  Mot has done an awesome job adapting his Mapview program to play AAM by forum.  Miniatures play relies more on tactical considerations such as line-of-sight, maneuverability, range, etc. rather than raw strategic/economic factors as tends to be the case with Revised.  It is great fun trying out different army builds and pulvering your enemies’ Panzers (or Shermans or T-70s or whatever . . .). :lol:

I vote Nae.

I still like the game. It’s just that when I PBEM, I get obsessed and it takes over my life. Plus I kept getting my ass kicked by Gargantua and his wacky tactics, it just took some of the fun out of it.

But it’s not the game, it’s the time… esp. with a baby on the way and me having to keep my job to support a family now.

What’s with Frood’s site… It seems to be down?

As for Bidding: the only other place or tool I know for bidding is DAAK. Do you guys know any other site for bidding?

[Jennifer]

Any chance you’ll be adding NAs and AARe support to your calc?  I know that’s probably a lot of work, but I was wondering.

[frood]

From what I can see, my site is running just fine.

There won’t be any new features though. I don’t have time. Plus, when people hated my new input form (which I thought was pretty ingenious) it sort of killed the joy of further development.

I’ve actually provided the code to djensen for possible incorporation on this site, but I don’t know if he’s making any progress on that.

Heya frood,

First, thank you very much for the effort on your calculator. In addition on the board game, I play TripleA a lot and your calculator beats everything else available. :)

Regarding the new input form (I presume you’re talking about version 2.0), a little feedback on that: when it got out I tried it and it is not that it isn’t easy to use but while playing online sometimes I need to make a lot of calculations in seconds and it is faster to already have the boxes for the units. Plus in those calcs you need to run a lot of variations with the number of units present and it is easier to edit each separate box than to change the line on version 2.0 (you need to hit the right space and delete the value, if you don’t you delete something, i think you get the idea…)

In any case, good there :)

[Perry]

Wow Frood, we are getting a new edition of A&A out soon. How are we supposed to be able to play it, without a new version of your dicey  :-)

[frood]

I’m willing to provide the source code to anyone who wants to take over…

[polarole]

hi there, it seems like frood is down. is there a way to still reach the calc?

[DarthMaximus]

I noticed that too.  Use this link:

[djensen]

The new URL is http://www.axisandallies.org/aacalc/

:-D

[axis_roll]

Thank you for host the web calc!

. . . . as well as everything else you’ve done for the A&A community  :-D
