After their lightning conquests of 1940, the Germans and Italians spent 1941 building their strength. A large effort in the Battle of the Atlantic yielded inconsistent results, however on 2 occasions the UK convoy line was completely ...

Thank you gents for your response, I will try your suggestions

Hi all

I've come across an odd bug during my Netplay Global war game. I was shuffling the Japanese units around and one of my marines (the 4-4 one) disappeared from the screen after I put it down. I thought it may have been a graphics glitch as these sometimes occur. However after moving through ...

<t> Hi folks<br/>
<br/>
For some time I have given thought to how the AIO might play the game. I have played many PC wargames over the years and inevitably one works out the patterns that is used by computer opponents, usually leading to a victorious result.<br/>
<br/>
I feel that for an AIO to ...

<t> Choosing impulse actions<br/>
<br/>
In order to determine the correct action, the AIO needs to examine what units are available to act towards achieving the highest priority goals.<br/>
<br/>
For example, if all the high priority goals are capturing hexes and there are many land units ...

Types of threats<br/>

Strategic bombing<br/>
Convoy attacks<br/>
Invasion<br/>
Presence of enemy ground units in a controlled or contested territory<br/>
Neutral becoming aligned to or conquered by an enemy<br/>
Loss of control (or destruction of ...

<t> Every unit should be assigned to a goal, but not every goal has units associated with it<br/>
A unit can have its goal changed at any time<br/>
Every turn, a unit should act in a way that attempts to achieve its goal (which may be remaining in place and doing nothing), assuming it acts at all ...

<t> I've been musing about the AI lately and wanted to offer up some thoughts. I've read the old posts about decision makers and so on but strictly in terms of strategy I have tried to come up with an abstract framework.<br/>
<br/>
I see 2 main things that the AIO must be able to do. Select ...

<t> We've been playing Global War for several months now since we had to temporarily suspend our FtF WiF 5e game due to Covid-19 restrictions.<br/>
<br/>
Its our first game so there have been some mistakes along the way, but here is a summary up until now (near the end of Nov/Dec 40).<br/>
<br ...

My personal bugbear is how a unit can sit on a rail line with a completely controlled path to a supply source, yet it can be out of supply!

Thanks for the prompt reply. It's not the first time we have been caught out by the right click menu!

Cheers

<t> Hi folks<br/>
<br/>
In our Global War NP game we have the Fighter Bomber optional rule selected but we are unable to fly land based fighters as bombers on any mission. Carrier based aircraft seem to work fine.<br/>

I have encountered this issue in solo games as well .. is there some ...

<t> Ok so I've had a partial victory. It looks like my scaling settings had got a bit mixed up, showing 100 when in fact the setting was 125. Anyway when I tried 150, the form appeared correctly, and then going back to 100 also worked. So it seems that the issue is at 125 only, which definitely ...

Thanks for the quick response, however unfortunately it did not have the desired effect.

<t> Ok well you have cleared up one mystery, and that is what S L stands for!<br/>

I had not edited any layout files when I made my initial post. I have now had a look at them and tried creating some new ones. I can save different layouts for the various forms but the main form persists in ...
