Is anyone working on a triplea version of this?

Not that I have heard. Honestly you could do it yourself if you had the time, just fast forward through the first turns, then use edit mode to delete and add the units you need.

[barney]

yea I was messing around with it just now        sure looks like a pile of russian units    have you tried it?

I have, and it’s great. It looks like Russia has a lot, but Gerry has a lot more right on the front lines, and call kill a lot easy.

[barney]

cool  I’ll have to give it a go

[oztea]

If Russia backs up to moscow, it can hold it almost without doubt. Problem is. A mega stack in moscow will get pinned, and germany will be able to nibble at Stalingrad and the whole southern Soviet breadbasket.

It is ok to have a monster stack in Russia if Germany is collecting 90 IPCs and Russia is collecting 12 IPCs and you are hitting them with 2 bombers a turn.

This setup isn’t just about reaching for the jugular. Economic suppression of the enemy is the key to victory.

right  on      has there been any decision on the japanese chinese infantry situation?

[oztea]

If you want to play it safe give China 2 more infantry in Sikang, and remove two Japanese infantry from Anwhe.
This won’t change that much, but might give China one more turn of before it is totally neutered (reduced to one stack & one territory)

It seems that the Chinese front goes ahistorically lopsided on J1
Perhaps Japan shouldn’t be ass deep into China already……that is being considered as well.

I assume malaya and kwangtung still have their naval bases?

[oztea]

Yea, if they are missing, my apologizes.

[barney]

no worries    the more I look at this the better it becomes    excellent work

[poloplayer15]

are the Philippines supposed to have a naval and airbase? or were they intentionally left off?

[oztea]

Also supposed to be there.
No bases were removed (from 1940) but some have been added.

[poloplayer15]

thanks! wasnt sure. btw, keep up the excellent work. really, this mod is the best ive seen, its fantastic. please make more.

[oztea]

There is a tripleA file somewhere in this thread.

[barney]

this was on the triplea site

That setup is inaccurate because there are supposed to be some facilities that start damaged.

Malta - 5 damage on airbase
UK - 10 damage on factory, 3 damage on port and airbase
Southern Italy - 5 damage on port

[barney]

yes  the triplea post said that needed to be edited

hey i tried your setup and it’s a blast    played through three rounds then started another because the start is the most fun:)

Initial impression I agree japan is probably too deep in china      I think Chahar and Anhwe being Chinese to start  would help, but I’m a low to intermediate player so I don’t necessarily see things others do

It’s actually fun just setting it up:)

[vonLettowVorbeck1914]

I’ve been talking with Ice on TripleA and have been helping him with a separate module of the game rather than having it be a Global 1940 savegame.

What’s the word on those chinese infantry?

[oztea]

Remove 3 Japanese Infantry from Anhwe
Add 3 Chinese Infantry to Sikang

95% sure that should be an official change….and pretty much the last change necessary.
