Can Ynot confirm this? Haven't noticed any change to the original but am hoping to see their combined work soon

I haven't had much time to do anything with either but the plan is to work on the new one together as a single team.

Some of you may remember that my mother was ill and in the hospital. Unfortunately she passed away on Mother's day so I haven't been feeling a whole lot like developing at the moment but plan to return to it soon.

I'm sorry to hear this Ynot. My condolences

My condolences. Take all the time you need.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Sorry about your loss.

Never an easy thing to lose your Mother ?

I'm so, so sorry to hear it.

Sorry to read about your loss. Prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Is this application not supported anymore? I know Ynot hasn't had a chance to develop with the original developer (VERY sorry for your loss Ynot), but the original developer hasn't touched it since he 'reclaimed' the application it seems.

Is this application done? Nothing is being done. More effort was put into it prior to the original developer taking it back - now that he 'reclaimed' the application, more and more bugs are reported, but nothing is being dealt with. I'm starting to think someone (possibly me) should just redo this app from the ground up.

Please do. Please.

Agreed. Will also mail a slice of CostCo pizza.

@Chaotix It couldn't hurt to try! You could always point to it as part of your portfolio, and I'm willing to bet that some chums out here would be willing to help out too.

I feel like the original developer reclaimed it because he didn't like someone else messing with it, not because he planned on continuing to support it.

Any chance we can get the generic Auzituck on this soon? I have a store champ on Sat and I'm running the PS1.... LOVE THIS APP!

I had a similar situation. I ended up playing against myself on the dining room table.

Not the same, but it did help me find holes in my approach, among other things.

Also, it drove me to get Table Top Simulator because Vassal seemed too dense for me. TTS is up to date, as is Vassal and it's not too difficult to find real opponents most nights.

The biggest obstacle is 1) learning a whole new software and 2) Time.

I still use Squad Benchmark more than TTS, but that's because I can get a game in and done in about 10-20 minutes vs. roughly an hour.

Hoping this keeps getting some technical support, love this project.

Just thought I'd drop a line saying I appreciate both apps, guys, and still use them!

Thanks. I'm trying to see if I can implement some of the new stuff in my version but I'm limited in time right now. It has been a crappy year. My wife just lost her mother in September too so we are busy with getting things settled there too. Can't believe we both lost our mothers in the same year within 4 months.

That's awful.

Please don't feel pressure to do more, just saying we appreciate what you've done already.

Words fail me. May you find strength in one another.

I hope things are looking up... it’d be nice if some community members took up this project and kept it up to date

Yeah, I miss Ynot's Squad Benchmark.

Yeah I love it as a training Sim. I run two squads against each other (no AI - totally pointless) and it helps me learn the strength and weaknesses of meta lists as well as what I’m flying.

I’ve been using the original because it is more up to date but you totally have to fudge some stuff to do Nym, aggressors or wookies including rolling physical dice and applying damage manually.

Its still pretty functional and doesn’t really slow down the process.

Hope all is getting better...please someone pick up the ball and run with it untill Ynot can get back to it.
