Turning Off Optinals During a Game

Post by ssiviour »

We have just completed our 2nd Turn of a Global War Netplay game using 3.0.4

Have noticed that the Optional HQ Movement is turned on. It was not an optional either of us voted for.

Is it possible to turn off this optional rule without corrupting our game?

Yes, some optionals may be changed after the game has begun.

However, looking at the attached picture it looks to me like the HQ movement option is off.

Anyway, you can change the status of the optional rule by <CTRL> left click on the optional rule in question. This should change it status at once (if it is allowed to be changed).

Wow, when was this functionality added? Or, has it always been there?

Thanks Orm, I noticed during the review game function that a right click on the optional would remove the On word, hence missing from the screenshot.

I guess what I am uncertain about now, and may be trial and error, is that as a Netplay game getting this done on both computers. We will see next session.

This capability was in the original release: November 2013.

I should update the Help text for the Optional Rules Help form, though.[:(]
