XDAP-03 Ancients for 1945 vs The Fighting Mongooses

[wheatbeer]

You can’t land planes on a territory that started the turn as a pro-Allies neutral.

[Me1945]

Are you sure? I’m not. Just know that TripleA allows that.

[lexgreat]

just looked into 2nd edition rules book, Wheat is right. Apologies, back to original file, my fault.

[Me1945]

Hold on Mongooses. Give us some time pls.

[wheatbeer]

No worries.

TripleA isn’t coded 100% perfect, so Veqryn listed certain exceptions within the in-program game description.

"Rules the engine does not do, but you must follow:

• Do not allow blitzing or movement through Friendly Neutrals.
• Air units may not land in or move through Friendly Neutrals, including the same turn they are captured.
• Friendly Neutrals can not be ‘captured’ with an AA Gun, only by land units with an attack power.
• Air units may not move through Unfriendly Neutrals unless they are attacking them.
• If UK Pacific captures Japan, the money goes to UK Pacific, even if UK Pacific’s capital is occupied.
• Do not allow USA movement to end in Sea Zones 17, 22, 32, 33, 34, and 37."

I’m waiting for kilroy’s opinion about Italy anyways, so we have plenty of time to be sure of the rule.

[lexgreat]

Rulebook is pretty clear, and there is nothing more actual. No landing in Persia. We think about an alternative, but let you know in time, dont want to hold play.

[lexgreat]

Pls take this file, thx

Need to edit your NCM onto the map, one sec.

[wheatbeer]

Here you go.

[lexgreat]

Risk rewarded!

[wheatbeer]

Just so you know, when you EDIT UK units, no matter where they’re coming from or going to, they have to be added as British units not UK_Pacific units or else it causes a bug when you try to use them the next turn.

[wheatbeer]

Indeed … we pretty much have to play high-risk style to have any shot  :lol:

I’m glad kilroy approved of my reckless thinking.

[lexgreat]

ah ok. Weird anyway, this separation.

[lexgreat]

I was certain our boys would hit once out of 6 times :)
Surprised that Italy took Paris, I am.

[Me1945]

just looked into 2nd edition rules book, Wheat is right. Apologies, back to original file, my fault.

What rules we are playing? These http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6149 or 2nd edition? Particularly, what about the Soviet-Mongolian Defense Pact when Russia takes Korea while Mongolia is still a strict neutral?

Any other TripleA bugs? I see Poland adjacent to sz115 in TripleA which is not in the original map.

I assumed we’re playing alpha 3 final (+ Soviet bomber) since the tourney thread still indicates alpha 3 and I didn’t see any notice from Gargantua changing it.  I noticed that one team decided to play 2nd edition rules anyways though.

I never even noticed the Poland/SZ115 error.  You should post that discovery here so it can be fixed:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=26989.0

Aside from movement related to neutrals (listed in the game description), I don’t know of any other tripleA issues that impacts gameplay.  If you see something that you think isn’t working right, let us know though.
