Using the Paths of Glory module

Please report any problems to jkoepp@gmail.com.

Cards

Use the Card Decks window to access the different decks, discard pile, and removed from game pile. Cards have access restricted to the owning player. Instead of creating several scenarios that include/exclude the Optional cards, they are in their own labeled decks for inclusion if you wish. Simply drag each card into the Mobilization, Limited War, and Total War decks as needed.

Guns of August

Again, to cut down on the number of scenario choices, the Guns of August card begins in the Discard Pile (or in the Removed pile for the historical variants that require its play in CP Action Round 1). If the Central Powers player wishes to start with the card in hand, simply drag it to your hand window before drawing cards.

Drawing Cards

Right click the Draw Deck and choose "Draw Multiple Cards" to grab more than 1 at a time. Enter a number in the dialog box, then drag normally from the deck to your hand--it will drop the correct number of cards into place for you.

Playing Cards

Select a card in your hand, right click, and choose the appropriate option to send the card to the right place automatically. Combat Cards get played onto the map.

Units and Markers

In this version of the module, control markers, forts, trenches, armies/corps, and the various map markers (Attack/Move markers, etc) are separated into different game piece layers to prevent accidental movement and stacking. The drawing order from bottom to top is: Forts, Control Markers, Trenches, Units (armies/corps), then everything else.

Tracking War Status, VP, and Turn

You may choose to move the AP, CP, and Combined War Status markers by hand if you wish. The General Records track has a grid defined so they'll all snap into each box and stack. However, you can choose to move the AP and CP War Status markers with the left and right arrow keys: the right arrow key will increment each War Status marker by 1. The Combined War Status marker will move all by itself to the correct total as each side's War Status increases.

Use the right and left arrow keys to move the Turn Marker.
