Hi guys,

I am sure I will be able to cut and trim our way to making the counters match counts for each scenario. Thanks for the list.

Some numbers in the list above were indeed arbitrary and were not cut down last time. While dropping the EB added stuff would free up a large amount of space it would eliminate one of the more popular freestyle play scenarios. 50 Fed BC is a lot. In EB turn counts can be high, exceeding any historical scenario so building them all is indeed possible. Or at least was in 2014. I will check with Tim about recent changes to see if requirements have changed.

Nick is right it might be time soon for two but I am not sure if it is this time. I am not a fan of two versions to maintain as one is already quite the load.

I will first look at the lists and suggestions you all provide and with turtle verify needs for the historical. Please continue to report shortages you have had since 2014 so I can address them first.

I emailed the individual who does the Cyberboard program. Unfortunately, there will not be a x64 version, and the limit on the number of counters is hardcoded into the source code used for the program and cannot be changed.

I've asked Lar and Tim a couple of questions regarding some changes that may help us this time around without changing the number of counters in a very drastic way.

I've emailed Lar the first bit of counter changes and additions for the LDR as well.

Another option of course is to do any counters that might run short as two markers (front and back) as well as the maximum number of actual counters that can be fit in the set. Using markers for regular ship counters is not ideal (you can't flip them but instead have to swap front with back markers when damaged/repaired), but it does give you an unlimited number, and you would only have to fall back on them in extreme cases once you ran out of the regular counters.

Also markers can't go into counter trays so you can't add them to fleets.

Hmmm, but squadron counters [especially the 6x types] might be used that way (as markers)...

Oh - in case it wasn't already known to the project managers - in the newest game box the Klingon North Fleet marker is missing, and is also not placed on the map at general war startup.

The majority of the Vudar changes have been sent to Lar this morning.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, June 11, 2016 - 07:06 pm: Edit

Work done on Seltorians sent to Lar this evening.

By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 - 09:35 pm: Edit

The majority of the Vudar counters have been changed. I have also received two more lists of demands from Turtle and have begun to comply.

:-)

By Lawrence Bergen (Lar) on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 - 09:38 pm: Edit

The Klingon North Fleet is a scenario issue. The main scenario will have to be adjusted.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, November 12, 2016 - 10:23 am: Edit

I have sent Lar the remainder of the LDR changes and additions from Minor Empires and CL#41-51.

The LDR, Selts and Vudar are getting the majority of my time first in this update of gamebox.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, November 12, 2016 - 02:54 pm: Edit

Selt Tug and LTT missions updated and sent to Lar. I had to make a chart to help me with these.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, November 13, 2016 - 01:42 pm: Edit

More Seltorian changes sent to Lar for processing.

Is this a project that I need someone to write an update about for CL52? If so, I need it immediately, tomorrow at worst. I assume that this is different from Vassal? Or is it?

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Wednesday, March 08, 2017 - 02:38 pm: Edit

I have contacted Lar about an update for CL52. Awaiting his reply.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, April 15, 2017 - 01:12 pm: Edit

I have spoken with Lar today. Progress has been made on the 2017 Gamebox. More coming.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Saturday, April 15, 2017 - 05:21 pm: Edit

Federation SIT fixes and new units from Battleships to Monitors & Pallets sent to Lar. Along with changes to Paravian and Carnivon Capital Defense Charts.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, June 18, 2017 - 04:02 pm: Edit

I spoke with Lar today. Progress has been made in that counters for the Carnivons are being created. Atleast in the artwork sense. I have to go through and verify the factors.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, June 18, 2017 - 09:32 pm: Edit

A round of Carnivon changes and fixes have been sent to Lar based on the update working copy I received to check.

Has anyone used cyberboard on a windows phone?

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Sunday, July 09, 2017 - 06:41 pm: Edit

A large number of Vudar, Paravian and Carnivon corrections and adjustments sent to Lar after I received a new file to review.

By William Phillips (Praetor) on Thursday, July 20, 2017 - 10:20 am: Edit

I must be dense....downloaded cyberboard 310, unzipped it, but cannot find it to run. What I missing ???

By Stewart Frazier (Frazikar2) on Thursday, July 20, 2017 - 08:24 pm: Edit

search for cbplay.exe

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Wednesday, July 26, 2017 - 06:25 pm: Edit

A couple of new markers have been added to Map-Misc Chits. They are "moving" and "reacting". These allow you to note which units or fleets have reacted one of two hexes and fleets or units which are still moving either while waiting for a reply by your opponent or to remind you which fleet a substack has moved from in the case where you want to send part of a fleet one way and the other part another under (203.44).

Lar has done a tremendous amount of work on the gamebox in the past two weeks. The Vudar have been given a lot of love. The Seltorians got some. The Carnivons have literally been added from scratch but still have work to be done on them.

Looking forward to it!
