AI supply rule

[midgard30]

Hi,

How well does the AI use the advanced supply rule (vanilla game and Deluxe)? Is it better to set it to basic? If so, does it mean the AI will still be supplied if the region is encircled?

Thanks

I always play with the advanced supply rule. The AI is doing its job with it. If you are setting to basic, good point, I don't know how it work for encirclements.

Ok thanks, I always check advanced supply for AI, but wasn’t sure if it plays better with basic supply. The manual suggests that it can handle advanced supply but nothing more.

I guess that basic supply will behave the same with players and AI, that is will be supplied while encircled.

Well not sure I am better than the AI sometimes. But if you want to play me, I have Deluxe 1.07 installed.

Sure! I own the game since it’s release. But I had looong period of times without playing it. Nevertheless, after all these years, it’s still my favourite wargame. Just love the supplies, the transport chains, the sub warfare, the Pacific, bombing raids, strategic and tactical movements, etc. For a game that looks like Axis & Allies on the surface, there’s so much deepness to it.

I never played against another player, and I certainly do not know all the strategies, especially with production, research, spying, etc. So consider me as a noob.

Currently my laptop is at the repair shop, and I have a game against the AI to complete. Right after that, I’ll contact you for a match.

Great! I have setup two games in the multiplayer section with Deluxe 1.07. Be sure to use the Deluxe 1.07 not the 1.071.

First game, I am playing the Allies. Second game, I am playing the Axis.
Mirror game in fact.

Hi midgard30, I have seen your note about "game not compatible".

I am using Deluxe 1.07 mod located here.

Is it what you have installed as well? Otherwise indeed, there will be a problem.

Hi ncc1701e,

Which note are you referring to?

I finally got my laptop from the shop and I installed Deluxe AWD 1.07.

I absolutely don’t know how multiplayer is working. Are we playing live online or is it PBEM turn by turn?

How many turns by day/week?

[ncc1701e]

In the Messages, I have seen a message saying "game not compatible". I was thinking this was from you.
This is PBEM turn by turn. One turn per day seems fine to me.

[ncc1701e]

I have created another PBEM challenge to try on the Matrix multiplayer server.

[midgard30]

Ok tonight I’ll check how this work, but won’t be available to start the challenge. More chance tomorrow evening.

This is not a race. Take your time to do your turn. WAW is like chess. You need to guess your next moves.

Ok, yesterday I had to reinstall my user on my PC as issues occurred after the repair (as it is almost always the case ).

In my case, "guess" is probably the right word!

Have fun guys. And hopefully I can get the latest update to Deluxe fixed real soon.

[midgard30]

Hi Lebatron, thanks for your great work.

@ncc1701e: I sent you a PM.

Thanks, take your time. And rest well (I have seen a post on BGG about Orange Swan vassal module).

[Lebatron]

Yes, that is an upcoming project, but first I'm going to fix Deluxe 1.071

[ncc1701e]

Great, and if you can put some of the "New units for AWD" in, depending on the tech levels, that would be awesome.
Maybe not for 1.071, perhaps later.
