• It’s both. It shipped with E40.2 and P40.2. And it’s available for download. On the G40 forum the thread is stickied.

    Essentially, it’s the version that has been on the Harris site that is commonly referred to as Alpha+3 final or Alpha+3.9 with the following two changes:

    *UK -1 infantry in Egypt.

    *If the USSR attacks Japanese-controlled Korea, it is treated exactly as though the USSR has attacked a Japanese-controlled territory adjacent to Mongolia for purposes of the Mongolian rule (ie. Japan now has free reign to attack any Soviet territory anywhere without triggering the Mongolian 6 infantry and territories to move to Soviet control).

  • 2007 AAR League

    Speaking from someone who has been away from the game a long time ( Jen and a few others that I used to play against alot, whatever happened to nccswitch by the way ) I used to play revised only. Have played about half a dozen games of the G40 version and that has rediscovered my passion for the A&A genre. Triplea is definetly the way to go I have discovered. Who has the time to post with Abattlemap anymore? I definetly will play the new 2013 league but with opponents who play with the Triplea version. Anyway game on and I look forward playing against anyone who enjoys a good game, which the majority on this site seem to do.

  • I like Global 1940 but I am new to the game and I never played any of the other ones.  Too lazy to learn them if Global is supposed to be the latest greatest.

  • 2007 AAR League

    I made the decision to switch to Global and tripleA months ago. The differences between them and AA50/Abattlemap are like the difference between riding a motorcycle and a bicycle.

    @Cmdr:

    I have a hard time playing two G40 games simultanoiusly.  And the G40 games are a LOT longer.

    They are only a lot longer because you are using Abattlemap. Join us in the 21st century. It’s fun.

    TripleA takes me a lot longer than Abattlemap!  I, also, make a lot more mistakes on that platform for various reasons (mostly due with how horrible it is to get the view I want with the graphics I need.)

    Generally, now, when I use TripleA I also use a game board to track the entire board - which in turn slows me down even more since now I have to replicate your moves and mine on a physical board. :P

    I agree, however, TripleA is prettier.  I disagree that it is better.  Make it work like battlemap, show 80% of the board (minimum) at a time with high resolution and call me. ^_^

    Hey, you cant type that in plain text!  You could rip the entire fabric of space and time!  Cats and dogs could be living together now!  There could be peace in the middle east!!!  What’s WRONG with you!

    :evil:


  • Veqryn had a great post about how you could use a Battlemap skin with the TripleA engine. You could have the same ease of “global” view with the convenience of TripleA’s movement and engine.

    You just have to either make one or use one that somebody else made. I know Veqryn’s not interested in putting in the time to make one.
