prefer sending files back and forth. started thread if you want to do germany. really liberal with edits-moving pieces forgotten etc. like the idea of making decisions for your opponent such as scramble, submerge, intercept, casualties etc. to move game along. I hate sitting down to play and after a few minutes have to wait for scramble decision. you can just play in local mode if you like. I dont get dice rolls because of gmail account. borysowiczmike@gmail.com if you want to set up so you get my dice rolls.
Ready for my first online game

Go to this link and then download - Download HolKann’s Abattlemap 8.0 Installer and install into your computer where you know where it is, or just the default install if you are familiar with Windows structure.
then
download - Download TMTM Mod Version 3.1
put this map with the others maps that the 8.0 Installer creates, then run the ABattlemap.exe , top left is tabs for file and new, click on new, go down to Alpha +2 3.1 and play. Since I am starting with Germany I will post the map on our game thread, you will want to download it to a folder (make an AXis and Allies folder on your desktop for saved games). Then in Battlemap go to file then open and find the map that you downloaded and it should have all the moves that I have done. You can then relate in back to the CM and NCM that have been typed out. Sounds like a lot of effort but once you have it installed it makes life really easy. Ill start a thread for us, let me know if you get stuck. I wont mind at all if you take a bit of time to get familiar with the interface.

OK, Well I instaled everything and when I opened Abattlemap, it comes up fine. However when I select the file tab and get the list of A&A game boards, I don’t see 1940 alfa+2. This might take some getting used too, feels like a video game, but I’m willing to give it a try if you are willing to teach me. So I’ve downloaded both programs, I’ve got them in a folder on my desktop…… What next?

Ok cool so you should have a folder called T40.gim if you have something that says T40 version 3.1 then that is the rar file and you have to right click on it and go to extract in this folder. This will then have the usable file of T40.gim
-
Also where did you save battlemap, because in that save location is where you have to put that map, youll know its the right one as there are heaps of other folders with .gim

Yep, that’s about right.

So sorted or not ?

I don’t have a T40.gim file, I do however have the T40 Version 3.1 RAR file, but when I right click, I don’t get an option to extract. It offers things like open, cut, share, send to, ect. Which do I choose?
-
Yes right you need a program called WinRar, just google it and install. Its pretty much like winzip it compresses files so they are smaller for downloading etc. Once you have that installed you will then be able to extract from that T40 Version 3.1 RAR file. Which will give you the T40.gim file. I know this seems messy but its quite the common practice for getting files. Try that anyway and see what you think.
-
OK So which option,
Extract files
Extract here
or
Extract to T40 3.1Never mind, I took a guess and choose “extract here” and it worked. I have the T40.gim file and I have looked over the maps a bit. So…. What now?

Go here, this is our thread, at the bottom is a file to download which is my German combat move. Pretty much decide if you want to scramble then I will roll die here in the forum then make all the neccessary adjustment after combat, then do combat moves and repost with a new map. You then take that map and save as 1bR, and then take Russias go.
