2022-08-26 Update - Commands & Colors Ancients v4.2

Details
Written by: alecrespi
Category: Latest
Published: 26 August 2022
Last Updated: 26 August 2022
Hits: 1526

Commands & Colors: Ancients 6 module version 4.2 is now available for download.

The update brings more scenarios and new gameplay features.

What’s New ?

100+ pre-set scenarios added.
New and improved Help resources and player aids.
Toolbar and hotkey controls expanded, including one touch end turn and combat commands.
Draw and End Turn actions can be completed by either side, aiding PBEM.
Click on blocks to order and mark for combat.
On screen player tags and command size display.
Several features can be tailored to personal preference.
Block command menus de-cluttered once a game starts.
CDG Solo System (join a game as Solitaire).
See release notes 3 for more.

The module is considerably larger than previous versions due to more scenarios and functionality. Log files are typically 500Kb+ in size which may be a consideration if saving many log files on a free cloud service. The basics of game play will be familiar to users of earlier versions and the module’s Help menu includes further guidance.

Compatibility
Not backward compatible with earlier versions, except for reading v4 log files and watching games.
Requires Vassal v3.6.7 or later.
Block view preference (Icons or Number) will not persist until Vassal v3.6.8.

I've recently been contact by one of Richard Borg playtesters (Steven Malecek) asking for permission to post his "solitaire rules".

Here they are, with his introduction:

I am one of Richard's playtesters for 20 years now, during the Flu Pandemic we have found it hard to play, I know there are solitaire rules out there that have been adapted from other games to use with C&C but I have come up with this simple set of solitaire rules. I have tested it over 60 games at least 5 times with each version and it works well even using Combat/Tactical Cards and in EPIC modes.

Hi guys,

I'm working on a "refresh / restyle / update"  about CCA Vassal game module.

Here you can find a very first preview of latest additions (changelog):

  • modified default icons (from left to righ: undo, next, disconnect, change side, p1, p2, dice from 1 to 7, terrains, units, notes, charts, end turn / clear)
  • I've also modified Zoom, "LoS" and Clear moves icon
  • card back with white round corner
  • player's hand windows with grey / bronze background (following toolbar icon color)
  • changed dice piture with HQ images and round corner)
  • draw icon on player's hand (hand icon) to automatically draw to hand 1 card (with log on main log window)
  • right click (or shortcut) on selected card to be "played" (as to say: send it to the center of the map, instead of drag'n'dopping things around) deck card counter (a small number to show remaining cards)
  • swapped "draw" and "discard" deck to keep more visible "actual card in play" (instead of scrolling to the right)
  • thicker "movement trail" to be more visible
  • "color coded" movement trail to better understand relative faction
  • added a "star icon" to identify actual in turn player (icon shows on top or bottom of the map) linked to "End Turn" hourglass icon
  • added "cards left" counter below command card draw deck
  • added sound: dice roll
  • added sound: draw / flip / play a card
  • added sound: reshuffle deck
  • right click on command card to play it on main board
  • redesign victory track bar (what do you think about placing one at the top and the other one at the bottom of the sidebar, instead of both at the bottom?)
  • added "report in log window" for marker actions like "attack" and "target"
  • slightly changed markers: attack = double swords, target = bullseye, battled = tick)
  • integrated all extension materials (markers, units, terrains, chards, scenarios, ecc) inside main module, so we are going to have a single VMOD file including all official components
  • added scenarios menu (submenu) with unlinked scenario vsav files
  • added units with color-coded movement trails
  • unit movement using numpad keys
  • added a "Hide units" icon to easily show the map with terrains only
  • added "Area of Effect" trait to see ranged combat max distance for bow, sliger (foot and cavalry) and war machines.
  • added links in "About menu" to easily reach Units and Terrain section on Official Website

Please follow the "work in progress" and post your suggestions on BGG Forum.

Thank you in advance.

Hello everybody,

I've just setup a new website module to show all scenarios from actual map category.

If you enter in a specific scenario and scroll down at the bottom you'll find a section called "Maps in this Category".

This section groups all scenarios from the actual map category in a more graphic way.

This option is available in both scenario view and category view. It's also fully functional on mobile device!

Hi Guys,

I've added maps - forum link for all user submitted scenarios. That way it will be easier to ask questions about special rules or send any kind of feedback.

I hope both "scenario designer" and players will like this function.

Thank you very much, Russell, for this great suggestion.

Another Year is passing by and we can turn back to see the path we followed:
2008 - launched www.commandsandcolors.net/ancients website
2011 - launched www.CCNapoleonics.net website
2013 - launched www.CCSamuraiBattles.net website

Right now these websites are full with every available expansion (as to say units, scenarios, rules, faqs, online game modules).
We have 564 scenarios on CCA, 107 scenarios on CCN, 20 scenarios on CCS.
In the past months I've also tried to cut off some of the continuous "spam attempts" and sadly I have unwittingly created login problem to some of you... I've also managed to resolve them but I'll take this opportunity to apologize with you.
Sometimes my intervention is timely, sometimes not so timely. So again, I want to Thank You for your patience.

In order to keep these three webistes online and running I'm here to ask for an effort to all users with whom I shared so far this wonderful adventure that I hope will continue for a long time.
Those who wish, without any obligation, could use PAYPAL form (available on right pane) and make its personal contribution.

Take care and have some nice Christmas Holidays!
Alessandro

2013-08-01 New TAG added

Hi guys,

I've just added a new TAG named "Playable with" that contains one value only: Base Game.

This TAG will be useful to find all scenarios playable with base game only. The trick will be to use Roman/Carthaginian units instead of original ones.

I've used "earache" Excel file to find scenarios that fit this value (link to BGG file). Sadly this will cover Official Scenario only.
To assign this TAG to all other scenarios I really do need "unit list" for each of them... maybe inside an Excel file (similar to that one) or even adding lines to that file.
Is there anyone interested in helping me out with this issue?
Please let me know in the forum and/or over BGG.
Grazie
Alessandro
