Re: How many of you keep playing? Forum seems almost dead these days...

I'd love to get access to Magic as I have only edited the file manually when needed, and it's a bit cumbersome and error prone

Re: How many of you keep playing? Forum seems almost dead these days...


Only problem is that you need to learn how to solve these naughty bugs editing a txt file of the game, which takes some effort, or have a partner who can.


I think that actually the best cost/profit solution would be at the moment to create an easy file editor, even with graphical UI. I thought ...

Re: MWIF Monthly Reports


seeing some bugs addressed, like the convoy routes' one, the 1 minute lag per unit to move that comes occasionally, or the "unlimited" reorg supply reaching only 10 hexes.


These are, I think, the most important issues at the moment. Even if the AI was completed, these should be addressed as it ...

Re: How many of you keep playing? Forum seems almost dead these days...

It's my main wargame staple. Playing a global war now since a long time. We finished it last year with my victory as Axis and decided to replay it (starting at Barbarossa) changing sides to see if it was possible for the Allies to revert it (which I'm trying now).

The User Interface is something to make the gamefile understandable for the human player.

true that... but sometimes you just want to play on the train to work... and I was also thinking if we had two AIs play and recorded/confirmed bugs that might push things along... and let's say the AI could access the source code and suggest possible solutions??? now wouldn't that be cool!

yes, that's reasonable. The map with the counters are, after all, a visual representation of the game file for humans.

Any update on the current work in the game?

PS: perhaps the "Monthly reports" should be renamed?

Re: WiF matching boardgame?


European scale for the whole world? what does that mean exactly? Is that a good thing?


It means that in the board game European map is similar to the computer game.

If the maps for the rest of the world where at the same scale, you would need a huge space to play the board game, so:

Re: America in Flames, opinions?

Are you sure this is a "what if"?

Invasion of America by Germany, Italy & Japan, unless I missed something in my History books it's a big what if. Includes:

- 2 large (840 x 594mm) full-colour paper maps of the Americas

America in Flames, opinions?

Hi,
I'm considering purchasing America in Flames second hand on eBay. Has anybody played it? What's your opinion on this game?

I find "what if"s intriguing to play to do something different from the typical wargames (for example SeaLion or this one).

Thanks in advance!

Re: Questions About the Game From Potential Newcomer

"How to learn this monster?"

My answer to this is: gradually. Don't try to play/learn everything at once. Learn one thing (and ignore everything else) and move to the next step once it's clear.

1) Start a Barbarossa scenario with only basic rules (no optionals)
2) Read about land movement and ...

Re: more than 2 player games

But then you waste space in your phone memory unnecessarily, each player has to go deleting all the files on their own chat (even if they are not involved...), you have message and file sharing in the same chat... look for the files, download...

I see no benefit in using whatsapp for sharing files ...

I played once a very enjoyable 4 player game by email. We shared the gamefile on the cloud and for quick questions/reactions we used whatsapp.

It worked pretty well for us.

Another way would be to force the die roll to have into account the right calculation, right?

Re: MWiF in new machines with Win11?


I actually haven't a clue what most of the above means... but here's what I do:
- I have a Mac with an M1 chip
- I run Parallels and emulate Windows 11 (at least I think that's what happens)
- the game works just fine

cheers


Thanks very interesting! I guess Parallels runs a Virtual Machine ...
