@The_Good_Captain How did the mines knock back a German infantry if none of the rolls were ‘3’ or less?

I will fight to the death with my units.

I will leave my screen now so I’ll state in advance the British will fight in the last round also (if any) 😀

@The_Good_Captain The British will fight for one more round.

@The_Good_Captain The units in Bir Hacheim will fight this round.

@Panther I actually did the same thing, but with ChatGPT. It also said there were drastic changes between NodeBB 3 and NodeBB 4 regarding forum play. But I wanted to find like an official NodeBB announcement or documentation about it before taking it for granted. In case it’s true, I need to discuss with the other TripleA developers what to do. Either downgrade the TripleA forum to NodeBB 3.4.3, or completely rewrite the code for forum posting. Since this problem is considered a release blocker, I am interested to see what we will end up doing.

@Panther it says 2.7+00000 because I was running TripleA directly from the source code. In that case, no exact version number is specified.

I needed to do some testing because the A&A forum posting does work, and the TripleA forum posting does not, while they appear to use the exact same code. I printed some things to the console while posting to see what causes the exact error.

The error was that the TripleA forum does not recognize the API endpoint /v2/users/uid/tokens. Currently it looks like the issue is caused in the NodeBB version difference (3.4.3 vs 4.10.3), but I am not 100% sure. Do you happen to know what the fix was for this forum when upgrading to 3.4.3?

It has been many days ago, and today I looked at this for the first time. I think at this point I can only delay the defeat for the Allies and not prevent it! I thought I really needed to retake London to have a chance of winning, but in the meantime Japan gained so much momentum that they can’t be stopped anymore. So I concede here and give you the win!

I was shocked how I wasn’t able to retake London earlier in the game as the US, even when I spent almost all money in the Atlantic. I even bought a fighter and two infantry for London on the first turn so still quite some reinforcements for UK imo. Before this game, I only really played against myself so I never really faced Sea Lion. I was actually even happy to see you doing it because I thought on the long-term it doesn’t really work with the Soviets becoming so strong, and I also thought I would handle the Allies well in this situation but you proved me wrong! I think using the bid for some UK submarines might help, or even simply more reinforcements for London on UK1.

Apart from all that, this game saw some crazy tactics at various points during the game which is just awesome!

I would love to play you again, however I think that is better done some time later because right now I am pretty busy and just like right now, I will likely play extremely slowly. But maybe in the future! :)

Here is the updated mine overview. Notice that the capture of Bir Hacheim resulted in the capture of the mines in BEN-BIR and BIR-JAL as well.

Benghazi: BEN-TOB (Axis)
Tobruk: 2x BEN-TOB, BIR-TOB (Allies)
Mersa Brega: BIR-BRE (Axis)
Bir Hacheim: BEN-BIR, BIR-JAL (Allies)
Mersa Matruh: 2x BIR-MAT, MAT-SIW (Allies)
Cairo: 5x CAI-MAT (Allies)

Lol that is unexpected. That wipes out the remainder of your army. No return fire because the Axis attempted a retreat.

Round 2, UK units fire:
Units from Tobruk:
7 infantry [dice 7d10<=2]
1 AT [dice 1d10<=2]
1 fighter [dice 1d10<=4]

Units from Mersa Matruh (flanking)
2 infantry [dice 2d7<=2]
1 AT [dice 1d7<=2]
1 matilda [dice 1d7<=4]

@The_Good_Captain I will lose two infantry from Mersa Matruh. I will press the attack. I draw two supply from Tobruk again, and now one supply from Cairo because Mersa Matruh has 4 units. Will you defend?

Total spent supply so far (mostly a reminder for me):
1 supply from Mersa Matruh (from previous turn)
4 supply from Tobruk
3 supply from Cairo
1 supply from Mersa Brega

1 mech [dice 1d10<=3]
1 tank [dice 1d10<=4]
1 AT [dice 1d10<=5]

@simon33 Sorry. I really like this game and would like to play faster if I could, but have too much other stuff going on, including five other games on this forum. I could post regularly here, but that would mean I’d play really slowly in the other games.
