Im hoping to finally dust off and learn F&E... If someone wouldn't mind a learning game with me via Vassal let me know. I've read through the base rulebook.

BIG NEWS!!

I finally have a way to get the stack viewer to show SE correctly. Going to require a bunch of double-checking and updates to files, but I definitely need to polish off the current module update.

See here:

Awesome

This does lead to a new question:

Now that the module can calculate SE correctly, it would be possible (I think...) to add in fighter SE automatically.

The potential problem is that it will always give the full amount, unless you (yes, you) go in and adjust the fighter property for the current stocks. Now, for most situations, this is fine. Automatic resupply will solve it, and being trapped out of supply is when it's worth fiddling with properties. It would mostly become a nuisance to check SEs during a retreat.

So, I'm leaning towards doing it, but want to see what others think first.

I like your idea.

Not sure if this is where to put this, but I seem to have run across a major system conflict of some sort. Running Mac OS 14.7.6 and the most current version of Vassal. The F&E 2.1 module is generating massive graphics bugs. Example: selecting fleet dropdown menus produces blank menus. Mousing down the menu lets you select a fleet, but the resulting window is just a grey empty field. Resizing the top band with text and server connect status causes the entire Vassal window to go blank grey. The graphics glitches are also carrying over into other windows. (e.g., Acrobat Reader starts having graphics distortions when the Vassal window freaks out. Reinstalled the module and Vassal with the same result.

Going back to version 2.0 of the module (which I've played a lot) and I now have similar, although less severe issues. Apparently, something somewhere in a Mac OS update broke something in the module's graphics setup. (Checked Vassal modules for 4 other games and none have similar problems.)

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

I believe Losberg not only works for apple but he uses a mac to play in our current game. Try him Jason

James Yes please have it figure out the fighter groups at max compliment. Players can work backwards if we need to. Thanks so much.

Also there are a few other ideas up the chain if your working on a v2.2

I figured it out. I actually had to upgrade to OS 15. First time I've ever seen _NOT_ upgrading an operating system cause something that was working to break...
