Abattlemap Open Source Project

Have you tried triplea?  You will find it under “software”

Yes Black Elk there needs to be a polished, turn-key, easily-played and down loaded version of A&A fully endorsed by Larry Harris and Avalon Hill. It would bring in thousands if not millions of players into A&A. Go to and brick and mortar game store and they almost snicker at the mention of A&A and yet we have a huge but almost unknown community. A game as polished and "store-bought’ as the Hasbro version or like a Facebook or Google Play App game would bring A&A into the next century. I like to think someone is listening.

So, I want to play a Global 1940 Alpha+3.9 game by forum. Where do I find the ABattlemap to download? I have to download the base program first, then the Global 1940 “module,” then hope my comp doesn’t screw up, then play, correct?

Thanks for helping a n00b play by forum (and yes if you help me at some point you can crush my feeble Barbarossa)

@Gamerman01:

It would be very nice if the InfoView and Toolbar were edited to change the powers to their Alpha3 turn orders.

d’oh you’re right.  that might take some work

Not as muich as you would think.  Copy/paste the pieces as necessary (done this before) and alter the text (also done this before.)

Thanks, maxo
No, unzipping is no problem.  One of them can’t even get the download going.

The other one, we finally got it working, but I’m not sure what combination of maneuvers finally got the job done.

No, they’re not close by, otherwise I would do it for them myself.

I used to use macs.  They were frustrating.  Some people like them.  That’s fine.  Some people like self-fladulation too.  Some people like Rocky-Road Ice Cream.  On both accounts, I do not like them.

As for ability to pick battles, you were the one attempting to make someone look stupid by picking out two quotes that exactly compliment each other and attempting to show a contradiction.  Not my fault you chose poorly.  Perhaps you’re the European leader who understands the basics of combat but who chooses the wrong target?

@Foxman:

Reinstalled ABattlemap because it doesn’t allow me to use: “List Units” on the View bar. But it still doesn’t work. Do I need this anyway? What does it do?

It’s been a long, long time, but as far as I remember you should manually delete the ABattlemap.ini. It will be recreated on the next program start.
You should be fine then.

Ok thx P@nther

Hi Tekkyy,

I too would like to know how to use the rsek.exe and the csek.exe described in the Abattlemap help files… they don’t give much details even after translating it into english.

Does anyone know how to do this?
