Jesse - looks like the rapidshare account is not working. I went to DL the latest version, but no luck....

Thanks Sean,

I fixed the link. Plus I have a new version for you guys. 1.02 further refines the work I did on Russia. But pardon my graphics for the winter. Since I'm not sure if this will be the final Russia, I decided to not sink as much time into the map as before. If this design proves popular, then I'll clean up the map graphics right away.

Here she is.

Hi Lebatron
Could you set bering sea as politic freezing zone?
It is really wired that US can move their ship into Far east to recon before declare war.

Good point. It will be done.

Hello,
Reading the manual, the readme and playing some vs the AI I have a few questions.

1. The British CAGs have a -1 on their graphics, but I didnt notice this -1 in the combats, what is the deal with this? US CAGs didnt have it.
2. In general, is there a reference somewhere that tells me what country/territory can build what and at what penalty these units are?
3. Are the build restriction and penalties the same as the ones in GG? Should I refere to that manual for these things?

Regards,
Jonas

The -1 you see in units refers to a reduction of that many die to the total stat strength. For instance, Italian fighters have -1. Which means that when German fighters are 9/9 the Italian ones will be 8/8. At the bottom of the tech screen (F4) you will see small numbers in (). These numbers represent the minimum stat. For fighters it's 6/6. Which means that even though German fighters may be at 6/6 presently Itlalian ones will not be reduced to 5/5 from the -1 die adjuster. However once the German fighters hit 7/7 then the adjuster will play a part and reduce the Italian fighters by 1 level. Hope this clears things up.

Because the die adjuster was added recently we have been able to Allow the German minors and such to build a greater range of units. But in some cases it still made sense to prevent certain builds. I did not go into specifics with the German minors as it is easy to see once you're in the game what can and can't be built.

The GG manual explains the game engines newest additions and to prevent redundancy I left those explanations out and referred readers to that manual. There you will find how to develop resources, understand port mechanics, aircraft range penalties and such.

There is some good discussion of this when Brian (Wanderinghead) did a lot of his excellent work on the latest patch and Global Glory. I think if you look under headings on axis minors force pools and national capability offsets you get a fairly comprehensive overview. This has done a lot to rejuvinate the game. Am thankful for dedicated support of Wanderinghead and Lebatron. I enjoy both versions (each has a different flavour) Has kept the game interesting! (But of course, this thread is on Deluxe AWD, so I will keep it on-track....)

I have just started up a Deluxe 1.03 game, and it is really nice to see the game reinvigorated - having a new map will prove very interesting indeed! Especially seeing how China and the Med play out.

Again - thanks for all of your hard work. The addictive nature of the game is hard to overestimate.

What to do?

When you get the two speed dials pick the left one for 'free user'
Then on the next page just wait till they allow you to download.

I will move my stuff to another host soon.

Jesse I found that "Megaupload" works much better than rapidshare plus, if you register, you only wait for 25 secs instead of 45, although I haven't checked if uploading files is for free, should be I guess.

Bty great mod [&o][&o], started playing a game against the AI due to lack of time I didn't want to commit with somebody, but I guess sooner or later I will [8D]

rjh: If you want a game, give me a holler. Looking to play the allies, but can also play the axis if that suits you better. (I already have a Deluxe game runnin w/ MrQuiet.

Hi Ram:

So you're playing with Bill, where has he been hiding all this time? Haven't heard from him in a long time...
I don't have any experience with AWD Deluxe just a few turns against the AI, but have played AWD for over three years, that doesn't mean I'm an excellent player, lately everyone has kicked my butt, lol.
I can't guarantee to send a turn each day and this weekend I'll be out of town, but if you want we can start a game I have v1.03 beta installed, will do the first turn and send it to you as soon as I have your email, pm it to me or send a mail.
Bty where are you located ? time zone can help speed up games.

Jesse did you draw the rail lines in Chungkin and Lanchow? They both had rail capacity in v1.03 beta but no rail graphics were shown on the map.
I haven't downloaded v1.03 yet hence my question.

No I didn't, and don't plan to, since they need repair from the start. They are in effect "potential" new rail for China. Rail was added here for the primary purpose of allowing the resource collection network to operate with a wider web. Before I added these new rail lines these two territories, which happen to have the factories, did not collect many resources. This limited the option to build new factories if you so wished. Since the collection web will still function with damaged rail, it was a novel way to guarantee sufficient resources to fuel two or more factories. I liked this approach better than placing an extra resource in each territory, because we don't want China to be too plentiful in resources. Secondly, it offers China an option. Do they spend the supply to finish the rail network and gain the extra flexibility, or save the supply for other repair? Personally, I lean away from spending supply repairing this rail. Just way your options and decide.
