Start of game. Looking forward to it. I thank you for letting me be Allies. Nice change to be the one that has to not lose, rather than be the one that has to win.

@kilroynothere
Tagging you! In league, the bis is single digit for the AXIS, as another change, but you are new to the map, and I am relatively new while never playing the allies, so I figure just let it ride.
@mainah
works for me. Let the Tango begin!
While the tripleA will prompt you for scrambles, which an AB now lets you scramble to adjacent land spaces as well, and CV’s can scramble 1 unit each to either an adjacent SZ or land space, which is a nice warning as you get familiar with it, a CV is only allowed to scramble to a SZ that has a defending SURFACE WARSHIP, so if you have a SS or a TT there, while tripleA will allow the scramble, the rules say you can’t.
You can scramble from a airbase against a TT though.
@mainah Of course! I’m excited to play the axis. I’ve actually been playing the allies for some reason for the last few games I’ve played. So, this is exciting. Checking out the game and hope to have the opening move in today for you. Seems like things are pretty different for the axis on this variant.
@mainah
Scramble?

@kilroynothere
No thank you.
@mainah German 1 done. Got a little beat up in the channel. Three hits!

Wow. That’s rare.
The file is the German CM, not the final.
@mainah oops… grabbed the wrong file. Sorry about that. Here you go.triplea_40637_1ger.tsvg

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
@mainah did you put all our info into the game as well as the dice server? I don’t see it, but I might have screwed that up.
@kilroynothere
I did - it wasn’t there for your file, so I added it again when I did Russia. Is it not there when you download the file?
@mainah weird. I downloaded the first one you posted again to check. Nothing there. I think I need to update my TripleA. I’m going to do that and see what happens.
@kilroynothere OK, just checked again. Looks like it is in there… I’m doing something wrong. I’ll figure it out. thanks for the help.
@kilroynothere
I doubt it.Remember all of this is run on a volunteer basis on a shoe string budget. Quirky errors happen time to time
This came up in another game, so I wanted you to be aware - for the Atlantic wall NO and the Americans in North Africa NO an AA gun counts as a land unit.
But you still can’t activate a friendly neutral with an AA gun.
I had to ask for a ruling, and got the official answer from one of the gents that designed this game.
Thanks for the info. So… Japan. What a difference the map and unit costs make. Seems like a whole new pacific. 3 Japanese islands to defend! Can’t shuffle air around quite like the original map either. Means more airbases most likely. Allies are up:
