Rule the Waves 3 History Series Episode 3 - The Washington Naval Treaty: 1919-19
Fri, 22 March 2024



The First World War was ruinously expensive. Dreadnought construction had drained the coffers of competing fleets. To help limit this reckless spending the naval powers agreed to limits on capital ship construction. Cruisers and Carriers would be the main focus of naval spending in the interwar period.




Special thanks to Drachinifel for lending his voice to this project.

You can expect Episode 4 out in April.

In my day job there is always a drive for the rapid generation of synthetic terrains for both virtual and constructive simulations, including the support to live training through synthetic wrap.  There must be a better way of generating.

There are, and we're working on them.

Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943 / Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943 is moving to an updated operational phase system.

Update 03/22/2024
Fri, March 22, 2024

The game is moving to an updated operational phase system.
Fri, March 22, 2024



The game is moving to an updated operational phase system. 1x1 km cells will become a thing of the past, the seizure of territory will proceed node by node, with all the ensuing changes in the operational and tactical phases of the game. Such a significant change will result in the disappearance of signs of entrenchment, and other less significant changes in active operations.

The principle of troop deployment before battle will also change; the areas in which deployment is available will be reduced and tied to the location of the battle group on the operational map.

The algorithm for accounting for the level of fire has also been adjusted, various small changes have been made to various aspects of the game.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more.

All episodes arrive April 11 on Prime Video.

Summary:
Is there some way to ensure Blue has priority over Green on roads?

No.
I understand why one would be interested in this and see the justification for such a feature; alas, it's not a feature and unlikely to become one in version 4. Version 5, I see at least the potential to implement this, it's then a question of development priorities.
Advice for the moment is, reduce the amount of Green traffic on the critical routes, re-route Blue to secondary roads which are less likely to be taken by Green traffic.
