RE: CHANGING MY TUNE.
No apology needed. I’ve spent 2 days 14hrs going thru the threads in the last 2 months. That’s the only reason I know what I know.

RE: CHANGING MY TUNE.
I think vann is an a s s. I’ve seen him ask for a cease fire then add insults in the same post, so i don’t really believe it.
I’ve seen plenty of people do what he is doing now, and it seems to be ok. The general forum is for just about anything except politics. Ive seen apologies. Ive seen new posts that mock and taunt vann. If those are ok, then this apology should be ok too, heartfelt or not.Edit 4 spelling

RE: Cleaning up the forum
So the report to mod button is useless. Good to know.
Still dont know if you can child board under global FAQ.
Not much point for me to try to clean up if we cant delete. It is frustrating to have to go through 150 pages and keep seeing the same q&a. There are a lot of people that bluntly stated they arnt sifting through that mess, so sorry if its being asked again.
Im not asking for unique things to be deleted, just redundant stuff. And obsolete…who cares about fmg free shipping for christmas 2012!?!
Alas, the mods have spoken. -
RE: Cleaning up the forum
I personally, cannot clean up the forum. I have notified mods of possible threads to delete, with no result. I dont know if they arnt going to or just haven’t got around to it. I would love to go thru global and global FAQ and organize and downsize it. Example…there’s a great stick for neutrals, so i would move all neutral answers there that arn’t there and delete all neutral questions and repeated answers.
Can the g40 FAQ have child boards? If so, i would have 1 for SBR, subs, scrambles, transports and anything else i find multiple postings of. I’m just trying to make it easier for everyone to find stuff and i think getting rid of redundant posts will help a lot. Splitting the FAQ should help people find the relevant info easier, reducing the number of future redundant posts. Its a massive and ambitious under taking, and i too have limited time, but why bother if i dont have the blessing or assistance of the mods. -

RE: Forums Tips and Tricks (SMF)
The “show new replies to your posts” feature is terrific.
There are a couple of limitations, however.1) I wish that you had the option to stop getting notifications of new posts to a thread you’ve posted in.
2) I wish that you could get notifications of new threads that you have not posted in.
It’s already there. See where is says Reply | Notify | Mark Unread | Send this Topic | Print
Click on notify and read the message that pops up.

RE: Cleaning up the forum
Funny you should say that. I have a list of where the player aids im using came from and thought about going back thru to add all the player aid, but didnt want to go through that mess again. I dont know how the mods would feel about getting 20 delete msgs a day from me, when the post isnt offensive. Dont know how the deleting works on a persons post count. Do they lose post count when deleted? I have put in a couple of change requests it is.

Cleaning up the forum
I joined this site following a google link for player aids for global. I have found lots of useful stuff, info, and gotten rules clarification. I am grateful for this and like this site.
That being said, this site sucks.
1. There is a two tier search function. Most of us get the crappy google bar and there for post questions that have already been answered because its to tedious to find the answer.
How do we get the good search bar?
2. There are 168 threads in 1940 global and 158 pages in global faq. A lot of the same questions, answers, and info are repeated. i.e. scrambling is explained multiple times. Some of the info is obsolete. i.e. Krieghound notified us of a 2014 rewrite of the 1940 second edition rulebook. About two pages of the thread is was needed to get that info from krieg, but now that the info is there, those posts just add unhelpful volume.
3. There are threads that have been moved, due to posting in the wrong place. i.e.

Maybe these posts that are only notifying in the old spot, can be deleted after 3-12 months.
4. There is some idle banter/troll spam located here and there.
Delete it if not relevant.
5. There are some people that are rude and insulting. i.e. one of my firsts posts, i was called an idiot for posting on an old thread. Uncalled for. Old threads hold important info for some people and in many cases, the originator, participants, and others will see the new post and respond. Another example is the last 3 months pushing YG out.
The should be a 3 strikes rule. If you insult someone or cyber bully, you get warned first and second time. Third time…temporary ban. Happens once in first six months from return…temp. ban. Repeat offenders…three consecutive bans…lifetime ban.
I know this would be a lot of work for the over worked mods. I do appreciate all that our volunteers do, but I’d love for this site to be less cluttered, user friendly and non hostile. -

RE: Are the War at Sea minis a good size for use with the Global maps?
The WAS ships are at scale, so different battleships will b different lengths. In AAA, all the battleships are the same size. Etcetera etcetera

RE: London or Cairo after Moscow?
Do you have most of western russia and factories? Are there a lot of russian offence near by. Hows germany eastern forces holding up? If russia clear, germany can march south, reinforcing with former russian ics. German bombers can neutralize cairo ic. Italy can beef up own def then reinforce france and western europe. Japan can get some units to match india and maybe cairo to keep the threat real.
Really hard to say cause theres a lot of factors and i dont have access to all the variables.
If london a knock out, go for it, but not if its a massive build up and slugfest. Better to have the slugfest on land where there are more units being coming to the front every turn from all the factories. -

FMG Dice
I’m on the fence about getting the FMG dice from IWNGU. Have they fixed the issue with the emblem coming off with use? Do they roll true? I dont want to pay $60+ bucks for dice that suck.
Flames of war dice are awesome and cheaper, if you prefer the smaller 11mm? Size, fyi. -
RE: This thread was hijacked and no longer holds relevance
Half this thread is completely off topic. Can a moderator delete the horse pucky so people can read about the d8 without checking extra pages for relevant info?
