2012 - Global 1940 - Find League Opponents Here

[Odonis]

Sure Brado, but unsure as to where I can find battlemap to download. Can you point me in the right direction? I’m an experienced player, face to face, and up on all alpha 3.9 rules etc so I should pick battlemap up quickly with a few directions / hints. Thanks!

[Odonis]

Will work on addressing my Battlemap knowledge gap, but in the meantime, any takers on triplea G40 Alpha 3+ game? I’ll even choose to be Allies ;)

[Commando Brado]

Odonis,

Go to this link :

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22555.0

It has all the instructions for downloading Battlemap. Create a folder somewhere titled, “Battlemap” First thing you need is the Battlemap zip file. The link is located about 1/2 down the page on the link I provided. Download this zip file into your Downloads folder. Unzip it into the Battlemap folder you created above. Create an shortcut on your desktop for Battlemap. Then, download the T40.gim folder into the same directory. Then open Battlemap from your desktop. Under the New drop down menu, you should see all of the different A&A games listed, i.e. A&A Global Alpha 2, A&A 50th Anniversary edition, AAP40, Global, the older A&A Europe, A&A Pacific and others. Pretty much every version of A&A ever created, plus other games like The World at War, Chess, Diplomacy, Eastern Front. Global Alpha 2 is listed under, “Axis & Allies : Global 1940 Alpha +2 Version 3.1” For the Alpha 3 map, I’ve attached it in this post. Download the file and put it under a different folder on your desktop titled, “A&A” , then create a different folder under that titled, “Alpha 3” Download the file to that folder. Then go to File, Open, select the attached file and you should see the Alpha 3 map. If you have any questions, let me know.

Also, there are links in the thread I provided above for help from others if you get stuck…

who’s up for a tripleA game of G40?  pm me

[questioneer]

Hey guys… if anyone is looking for a G40 game…I’m not up to playing right now. :-D

[U-505]

I, on the other hand, have a very empty schedule. My tourney game is on hold until the 17th when my partner gets back. I am looking for at least 3 games right now. Bid/no bid: don’t care. Tech: no. Pick your side if you want.

[Jennifer]

Botider just conceeded our game, if you want to play 505.

[Karl7]

hey Jen, any time you want a rematch for the league let me know.

[jim010]

U-505, I’ll play you.  My Allied play needs polish, so I’ll take Allies with no tech.  Let me know.

Cheers

[Axisplaya]

Looking for a game.

Tech or not. With bid.

[U-505]

I’m in playa. PM me with your bid.

[Jennifer]

I need a 3rd game going - if the player can be quick (defined as posting your turn the night after I post mine at the latest.)  Doc won’t let me go back to work for a week or two, and I’m bored.  :-o :evil: :-o

1940, I like tech, but I won’t require it.  Bid is 1d6+2 (I can go up or down on the +n though, if you want - and I am okay with you taking a 0 bid or giving me IPC to play the allies if you REALLY want too…WEG)

I’m pretty flexible on arrangements.  I can’t do tripleA, there’s a glitch with it on a Server 2008 unit (hey, I gotta recertify, so I need to play with the OS, okay?).

[Zhukov44]

I’m interested in a league game or 2.  alpha 3.9, bid, nt, tripleA (latest is 1.61 engine, 3.1 map).  Pm if interested.

[Karl7]

Anybody out there up for a G40 league game?  Looking to play Allies (my weaker side) but willing to bid, and battle map game.

Tripple A is great, but I hate the fact I can only see a tiny fraction of the map and have a hard time telling ship classes apart – has lead to many errors by me.

[Fortress]

Karl, if you position the mouse pointer over the sea zone in question and press ctrl+b, TripleA opens up the battle calculator and within the battle calculator the sea zone in question automatically populates. If you scroll the mouse pointer over the pictures it tells you what unit type you’re looking at. It’s a useful tool if you’d like to make TripleA more friendly to use for those tricky naval units  :-)

[Karl7]

Thanks Fortress.  I am sure I will have to learn.  TrippleA is the future, but like a Luddite I try to hold on to the past.

[Hepps01]

Karl, TripleA has also improved its resolution when you zoom out.  So now the map images remain reasonably crisp even if you zoom out to 50% (which on many maps will give you a fair amount of the map).

Then you can still use the “Territory Tab” to scan any and all territories & sea zones and the contents of the territories you cursor over will appear in the panel on the right hand side of the screen.

[Karl7]

anybody interested in a game?
