Yeah, but AWBW uses AW2 statistics when possible, so RIP.

I never liked Jess due to her 90% infantry.

Eh, the way I see it mechs are only spammable when you have a lot of bases but not a lot of income, while infantry can only really shoot infantry. And their health is only important in steps of "Full, >5, none" so whatev on defense. Jess doesn't lose out on lovely infantry.

Now, lovely b-copters sure. Most maps have a lot less airports then bases, tho.

Most maps don't even have seaports. Someone make a cool big naval heavy game where carriers actually have a use tia

I joined the Diplomacy game, looking forwards to half the players dropping from inactivity and half the players being Hawke. Halves may overlap.

Just wished to say that after a few days of being down, the site is back up and ready for use again. If anyone wants to set up a few games against me, I'm free for the good portion of the day.

Hey all, Got an email about AWBW being down and a post in this sub reddit was mentioned so I thought I'd post here. I brought it back up and put something in place to (hopefully) automatically fix this specific problem on a nightly basis until I can find time to troubleshoot it.
I know AWBW is ancient and poorly coded, and I'd love to be able to update it to something more modern I just don't have the time to do that at the moment, sorry. As it is, AWBW is just a money drain for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy people are still playing and enjoying it. I guess I just wanted to say I know it's really clunky, and say sorry about that, heh.
Someday I'll be able to do something about it, but for the time being I'll do the best I can to duct tape things that need fixing as quickly as I possibly can. Thanks for playing.

Jess would be way cooler if she wasn't the garbage poo poo Jess for idiot babies who eat their own poop, aka AW2 Jess.

also i appreciate that sturm makes recons feel viable outside of FOW games and the first ten turns

Let's play a team game!

Pass is goons, banned COs are the usual. OS and GE are on team A, BM and YC B. (IE top versus bottom.)

I wanted to make it a capture map so it has a more exciting climax but I couldn't really get a good feel for the prop count. Oh well.

:siren:

comm towers spotted, javier allowed :siren:

ninjaedit: also it's 2k a prop

which becomes difficult if I dunno which slot you took. I'm in OS, where you at loopz

Roonerspism: Nov 12, 2010

Top-right position is CI, they haven't changed their colour.

EDIT: actually speaking of, turn order is OS then GE then BD then CI (I may have got the last two swapped around) so that team pairing gives first turn advantage to OS/GE

Switching Hosts

The current hosting provider for AWBW is raising their hosting costs as of the next time I have to renew which is around March/April 2016. I can't really afford to stay with them so I'm moving to another host. I've begun the process of moving things, but I don't have a lot of time to test to make sure everything is working so I'd like for some users to help out if at all possible.

For now, you can reach the new host at awbw.bulletriddenlich.com. It has all the data from the main AWBW site as of February 4, 2016. Please try playing some games, creating/editing maps and generally try doing whatever it is you normally do on the main site. Just keep in mind that everything you do on the new site will be wiped once I make the final migration. So you may not be able to finish games, potentially, and any design map stuff you do will not persist to the new server after the migration.

Of course after everything moves, things will persist as usual. I don't have a final date for migration yet because it'll depend on how much testing happens and in what timeframe. I'll try to keep you posted as much as possible. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me at amarriner at amarriner dot com or @amarriner on twitter.
