    My biggest pet peeve of the Native Player is the lack of Esc shortcut to indicate 0 Transfer after successful attack, gets me every time (and 0 is on the other end of the keyboard!)!

    I think it would be interesting if such a system allowed site members to commission boards. They could offer a commission for a board designed with around a specific theme and/or conforming to specified game play parameters, and then designers could bid on it. Would be pretty cool.

    Sounds like a tricky balance between competition and commission ..not to mention all kinds of opportunities for nepotism, politics, etc..

    Hmmm.. think I'll start a new thread..

    It should be possible to play WG boards in real-time ..without the wait, regardless of how many are playing.

    This is added in the new Player version (out shortly!)

    Is an update to the Help section on the list?

    I know I tried to insert a picture into a discussion post the other day and couldn't figure it out or find a how-to in the help section.

    The Board Designer Help section needs to be updated as well. There is no information about some of the popular new features such as factories or the custom fog or neutral image. There is also no information about scenarios or an explanation of the beta board feature. There are probably a few other important elements missing, but I can't think of them right now.

    In the turn-timer section, there's no info about the Fischer clock. It also would be nice to have an explanation of luck somewhere.

    Custom Fog Fog: http://www.wargear.net/help/display/Dual%20Layers%20and%20Fog%20Image

    Scenarios: http://www.wargear.net/help/display/Scenarios and http://www.wargear.net/help/display/Board%20Design%20FAQ#Scenarios

    Luck: http://www.wargear.net/help/display/FAQ#Luck

     

    I concur about Factories (which I think someone, EN?, may have already a good post about it that needs to be added to the Help), Neutral Image, Beta Board, Fischer clock.

    I know the Rules are slightly out of date and there are probably a few other items.  Probably need to update the Player page a bit to include some info about the Native player.

    I found EN's great write up... I'll clean the formatting up a bit but the info is here: http://www.wargear.net/help/display/Factories

    NP Kjeld...although if it's hard to find then it should be easier to find, so that should be a takeaway too.

    I think I can work on updating some of the items mentioned soon and will follow up with another thread for Help updates.

    w0000t to returning to being more active with WG! I may even have a board or two in the works with refreshed fire!

    i think i want to create a brief how-to for beginning designers to go along with the more sophisticated one i created for j-bomb's butter battle. i've heard from a number of folks that it was extremely helpful.

    I'm a man.
    But I can change,
    if I have to,
    I guess...

    Aye, both of those are here: http://www.wargear.net/help/display/Tournament%20Basics

    The Rankings page is more a player's overal Tournament Ranking Score (similar to Global Ranking).

    Is there a how simulgear works explanation in there too? If not, is should be on the help update list.
