(EN) Unconditional Surrender (USE) in alpha test

[Lunalol]

I remind testers that the 'wargame' Unconditional Surrender is available in ALPHA.

If you are a wargamer but do not know the rules, then create a game by inviting me.

• The Poland 1939 and Scandinavia 1940 scenarios are more or less tutorials (only the German army really acts).

• The France 1940, Balkans 1941, France 1944 and USSR 1941 scenarios are more elaborate.

• The Mediterranean 1940-42 scenario is very long (30 laps = 30 months)

• The Main event is the main campaign of the game (all of WWII), it is donated to confirmed players.

I look forward to hearing from you and be forgiving of the bugs that are still present.

Hi Lunalol,

I absolutely love USE, I'm gobsmacked taken aback and speechless that it is going to be on BGA (with rules enforcement galore?), fortunately as this is a forum I can type in lieu of speech so I appreciate I do not meet the requirements for normal Alpha testing but myself and my friend Simon Thornton would happily help out as we are experienced wargamers: if that of use (no pun intended) to you? I perhaps should have replied to you privately rather than in a forum post by all means delete this if you wish and just direct reply to me. I have played USE on Vassal a lot if that is any help too.

Cheers,
Paul

Did someone say bug killer?

I was going to post an image of the adorable/lethal/excessively violent cockroach-killing robot from an anime I know, but realized the joke would be much too obscure.

Instead, I'm wondering what gto look for. Do you want me to check the solitaire scenario Poland 1929 (if can't conquer Poland in one turn, you lose the game) for a start?

I'm especially interested on how it handles retreats in a scenario like this. I hope I don't need a second player to make that decision in what is essentially a training scenario.

Poland 1939 is fully functional, no test needed, except if you don't know the game and want to learn it.
In solo mode, you take all decision, so you choose retreat path : you can simplify your task or make it harder.

I'm not able to perform an attack on Oslo after I play the surface action in the sea zone between Denmark and Norway.

Is that a bug? What am I doing wrong? What are the actions you need to do to proceed to move your troops into Norway?

In order :

- Check that weather in mild zone is not severe.
- Put Surprise Attack Marker in sea zone 12 (in the hex that contain this number)
- I you can, put an Airdrop marker on Oslo (you must bring an air unit at 3 hexes of it)
- Activate your ground unit stacked with a convoy
- Click on naval transport and immediately declare an amphibious invasion.
- After select your Surface Action marker as escort.
- Attack Oslo or land near and attack.
- With Naval support / Air support and Airdrop, there is no chance to fail.

Try it.

Naval invasion is the more complex rule of this game.
This scenario is here to learn this rule.

Do not hesitate to ask for help.

Table 106192125 is blocked. Can't even abandon it.

I had an error message, might probably be found in the logs.

You can delete the game nescessary.

You can delete the game necessary.

I will check this table and repair it.
Please use BUG report system next time.
Thanks for testing.
