battlemap is the program used to play axis and allies through the forum. A mod is the module. So if I created a battlemap mod we could play via the internet uploading the maps and using the forum dicey.
How do you get this program?
Sorry got slammed with homework this weekend and could not finish rules and set up :cry: :oops:, should be done in a week or two though :-)
I am creating battlemap mod as we speak and once the initial set up has come out I will finish it off.
Quick Question are Yugoslavia and Turkey neutral and will they be able to move or will they just have initial units and play no further part except as a distraction???

Historically, Turkey was neutral and Yugoslavia was invaded around the same time as Greece was.
He’s incorporating Yugosalvia (Operation Husky) into the game. Idk about turkey but it was neutral throught the majority of the war.
Husky was the invasion of Sicily. The invasion of Yugoslavia was called Operation 25 (also known in some sources as Operation Retribution or Operation Punishment).
Huh? I thought Spartan said it was Yugoslavia. Maybe I didnt read it right. Your our local WWII History Expert though CWO so I guess your right :-D

In terms of the game I was meaning(I know that historically that Turkey was neutral and Yugo was captured.)
I hope Yugo has troops. Turkey would be cool as like a extra objective for the axis.

Turkey’s two main values to Germany (if Germany was willing to ignore Turkey’s neutrality and was able to mount an effective armoured attack across its difficult terrain) would have been:
To provide the route for delivering the right hook of a pincer attack against Egypt and the Suez Canal, with Rommel’s forces west of Egypt providing the left hook.
To allow Germany (once Britain had been knocked out of Egypt) to drive into Iraq and Iran in order to seize their valuable oil fields.
John Keegan explores this scenario in one of the chapters in the book “What If?: The World’s Foremost Military Historians Imagine What Might Have Been”, edited by Robert Cowley.
If ever the Express game series ever branches out into the realm of hypothetical WWII scenarios, that might be an interesting one to explore.
Idk about hypothectical but I wouldnt mind and invasion of mainland US by japan. But a little to big for Express :-D
how is it going
Ok rule book and map are done but setup still needs work
I have no time so Exporter has been put on an extended hold period. Sorry guys.
I have a similar problem as Ryan and my computer randomly deleted wat i had so Iwo has been on hold for a little while… :|
I may restart work this summer once school is over. i had so much time because of an EXTENDED Christmas break cause of a HUGE snowstorm.
Hey you guys. What your status? We getting close yet? Only a few weeks until production restarts for me :-D
playtesting began recentlt for me
Italians are consistently pummeling the Brits. Hard to playtest, though, without Italians or frenchmen pieces, the germans just don’t look right
Don’t you have Europe 1940? You should buy it, it’s a cool game.
