Hi, A&A fans!

I released a new big update for my Tabletop Simulator version of Axis and Allies 1940.
The last bit of manual labour is now scripted, the occupation of territories! You can right-click territories to change the occupier. The IPC strip is adjusted automatically. Also, you can right-click capital ships to damage them, convoy sea zones to mark an active convoy disruption and many more things from other updates since I last posted here! More scripting will follow, like the recognition of national objectives, income calculation and building cost tracking. Please check it out, if you like!

Hi,

I work on script-assistance for Axis and Allies Global 1940 on Tabletop Simulator.

What it does so far:

detect and count units and unit chips on the battle strip Provide “Spawn Dice” button for each side Count hits when throwing dice Provide (+) and (-) Buttons and a number input as hover menu for units to change the stack below it. This is done automatically according to the entered number of units.

Hope you like it!

Can this game and can RUSE be played on PS5?

I can have Word(ish) and Excel(ish) for free, sort of. LibreOffice is an open source version of Microsoft Office that you can download and run for free.

Hi!

I’ve uploaded a tool I created several years ago to help estimate combat outcomes in the classic game. I was not satisfied with the already available tools, which would typically only present the probability of winning vs losing.
This tool presents the simulation results in the form of a histogram, where you can easily see the likelihood and cost of different outcomes.
I hope someone finds it useful! Unless you consider it cheating ;)

The background:
I have written a PC computer program that calculates the total IPC income for each nation as you update the PC map with the territories controlled to match that on your board game. (see link - 1942 2nd ed)
link to post In1942
There currently is no accounting for the loss of a nation’s capital in this code. (I figured people would know they could not collect that income.)

The question:
Would I correctly follow the board game rules if I have the nation’s IPC income turn to zero when the capital territory falls to an opposing nation? If the capital territory was liberated by the original owner nation or a friendly nation, it would again show the total IPC income of that nation. (program already keep track of liberated territory return IPC to the original owner)

To be clear, this program just adds up a nation’s IPC total income from territories to determine income for that turn. It does not keep track of cash held by any nation, player.

Dear Sirs and Madams,

I’d like to introduce you my Microsoft Excel based IPC calculator/tracker for Axis & Allies Global 1940 2nd. My A&A hommies and I always forget to adjust the territory at any time during the game so I developed this Excel table.

It serves several functions :

track and calculate IPCs with territories and national objectives (few have to be adjusted manual (SZ125, Med, …) [sheet: IPC track]

calculate Purchases per 1 round [sheet: purchase round]
purchase1.PNG

calculate all rounds [sheet: purchase chart])
purchaseAll.PNG

calculate land and sea battles (my dice colors are 1:=beige, 2:= blue, 3:= red, 4:= yellow, therefore the dice colors)

And here is:

Please don’t hesitate to ask if there are some questions.
Thanks for your feedback!

Crowninshield (aka Jacob?)! I sent you message on here, but I’m not sure you got it. JojoWilhelm here, trying to rebuild battleforces from the ground up. I could use any info you might have or remember, including any more pics of the game (for example initial map setups). If you see this, shoot me an email at jojowilhelm@protonmail.com.

If you’re still looking for a solution, provided you still have a brick and mortar video store nearby, you could take the disc into them and have them put it in the disc polisher to cut through those scratches. Most of the time they used to do it free of charge too since they couldn’t be sure if it would work.

@barney:

Not that I’m aware of. You could probably copy/paste some stuff from the rule book I would think. Might just have to type away : ) Do small portions at a time so as not to be overwhelmed : )

Yea I like live play for the “gut feeling” battles as opposed to battle calc. Battle calc has it’s uses, especially for testing stuff, but I think the live thing gives more of a “real” feel than pbf where you can take as much time as needed to make the best play. Both are fun though, just a little different

I will go at it then - once I am done I’ll open-source the json, so other people can use that in projects :)

Agreed on that battle-calc thing. I will leave it out of the app, as it is intended as a game-aid during play

For house rules, this is a good way to price your units, and to give them a proper attack, and defense for your dice.

It’s good for tweaking your game. 8-)

@Krutoy_Walker:

There is a game in steam Tabletop Simulator all versions and
with the ability to save the process

Just give TripleA a try.  :-)

@Wonder_Angel:

Fantastic, thanks very much!

Is there a rating system or a ladder of some kind?

Yes, there is. Check out

@bgugs:

Panther, I am not a computer guy so I don’t know the answers to those questions. Is there an easy way to get them?

In the Windows control panel find and execute “System”. In the opening window search for type of system indicated as either 32bit or 64bit.
In Inkscape go to the Help menu and click on “About” (or similar) in the opening window there is (if I recall correctly) a version indicated in the upper right corner.

Has anyone got any good strategies for the 1941 android app playing the 1942 standard edition? The map and setup is very similar to 1942.2 but there are some subtle differences which are proving tricky for the allies - e.g. 4 Chinese territories, East Indies and SE Asia in same zone.

Found it, thanks😊👍🏼

Wait. Vann made a mistake? What?

@Imperious:

The globe rejoices in Larry- Marx since it is the only formula that offers the true combat picture. VANN shoes was a failure. Nobody even knows about enigma except during WW2. Even Trump tweets about Larry-Marx…

No, no, no…
