I've already taken the ground support and naval bombardment numbers off this list. Instead they appear above the unit lists following the words "Defending Units" and "Attacking Units" as +5 Air, +6 Naval [or something similar]. That cuts your list by 4 lines.ORIGINAL: Zartacla
Hogwash. More information is better, particularly when trying to improve your gameplay and when dealing with multiple conflicting bonuses.
There is ample room on the form. Observe.
But you missed quite a few possibilities:
- Disorganized units
- Territorials (attacker or defender bonus)
- Combat Friction between major powers on the attacking side
- Paradrops
- Armor (attacker or defender bonus)
- HQ Support (attacker or defender bonus)
- Fractional Odds
Here is the code for the 1D10 table and the Design view of the form for the 1D10:
// ****************************************************************************
// ShiftsTotal := ShiftTerrain + ShiftWeather + ShiftHQ + ShiftFractionalOdds.
// ****************************************************************************
// Turning the visibilty off has two benefits: it avoids flickering during
// update and it causes the memo to be positioned at the top when made visible.
// ****************************************************************************
ColShiftsText.Visible := False;
ColShiftsText.Clear;
ColShiftsText.Lines.Add(rsShiftsTotal + SignedIntToStr(ShiftsTotal));
ColShiftsText.Lines.Add(rsShiftsTerrain + SignedIntToStr(ShiftTerrain));
ColShiftsText.Lines.Add(rsShiftsWeather + SignedIntToStr(ShiftWeather));
ColShiftsText.Lines.Add(rsShiftsHQSupport + SignedIntToStr(ShiftHQ));
ColShiftsText.Lines.Add(rsShiftsFractional +
SignedIntToStr(ShiftFractionalOdds));
ColShiftsText.Visible := True;
end;
// ****************************************************************************
// 1D10 DRM:
// DRMTotal := DRMTerrain + DRMDisorganized + DRMParadrop + DRMArmor +
// DRMTerritorials + DRMCombatFriction;
// ****************************************************************************
if DRMTerrain <> 0 then DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMTerrain +
SignedFloatToStr(DRMTerrain, 2));
if DRMWeather <> 0 then DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMWeather +
SignedFloatToStr(DRMWeather, 2));
if DRMDisorganized <> 0 then DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMDisorganized +
SignedFloatToStr(DRMDisorganized));
if DRMTerritorials <> 0 then DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMTerritorials +
SignedFloatToStr(DRMTerritorials));
if DRMCombatFriction <> 0 then DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMCombatFriction +
SignedFloatToStr(DRMCombatFriction));
if DRMParadrop <> 0 then DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMParadrop +
SignedFloatToStr(DRMParadrop, 2));
if (DRMArmorAssault <> 0) or (DRMArmorBlitz <> 0) then
begin
AR := SignedFloatToStr(DRMArmorAssault, 2);
BR := SignedFloatToStr(DRMArmorBlitz, 2);
DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMArmor + Format('%s (%sB)', [AR, BR]));
end;
if DRMHQSupport <> 0 then DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMHQs +
SignedFloatToStr(DRMHQSupport, 2));
if OptRules.FractionalOdds and OptRules.TwoD10LandCRT then
DRMText.Lines.Add(rsDRMFractionalOdds + SignedIntToStr(DRMFraction));
By the way, besides all the beta testers reviewing the 90+ forms, I also published them in this forum as I was developing them, seeking opinions from anyone and everyone. The complex forms, such as land and air-to-air combat, underwent dozens of major revisions.
