@Betano Have you seen the Total World War (TWW) mod? It has features like fortifications and more logistics features (movement on trains that require railroads to be built) Different units that have bonuses for terrain, etc. Makes the game more complex.

@surfer No, let me look it up, because I can also take already made modifications that I like.

@surfer I don’t want to turn the game into a Hoi2 either, I have them all and I played them all, the idea is to not stray from the basic rules of A&A where strategy comes with luck and this has its charm in Hoi2 good tactical strategic cards ensure victory.

@surfer Oh my god, I didn’t know this existed! I doubt many people play it, but it’s a great source of ideas. Its files are full of different kinds of modifications. One of the greatest contributions from HoI4 to its predecessors was the development of logistics, and here I can even see railroads and everything, with accelerated unit movement. Each of these games has its own unique elements that give them value, and this project seems to bring a bit of everything together. You don’t see those massive unit stacks in regions because the unit values are higher, so the map doesn’t look as overloaded as in World at War. In that sense, G40 looks cleaner, but this one incorporates everything—it’s like a whole universe.

@Betano Agree with the confusion graphic. TWW is ridiculous for play-ability. So many options and optimizations possible that are country specific.

@surfer Very good ideas, but the Java system just can’t handle that. Yesterday I got really dizzy from going through so much content, and I ended up meeting two TripleA players who invited me to play with them and shared a lot of tips to improve quickly—but honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming. I’ve already stopped playing HOI4 because the built-in content is too much for me, though I have to admit the game has an amazing map and you can tell there are countless hours of work behind it.

have i really finished more games than anyone else in the league this year? man i feel like i’m barely playing these days.

Everybody else is better at barely playing. You are the worst at it

I’m not on the overall standings sheet for some reason.

I have 11 OOB, 14 BM and 2 PtV games. So 27 games. I cannot be unseated!

Except for last year when I only had 4 BM games.

I appear if I change the filter to all players and I stay visible if I say “active players”. Hmm, only the default view seems to hide me.

Donutgold is in the list twice.

It looks like some rows are hidden to me @gamerman01

Been playing Stalingrad and Global (Larry Harris 1942 setup with GenCon Tournament Rules) with @mikawagunichi and @Daaras this weekend!

@axis-dominion I decided that my 31 games from 2024 was not the most conducive to winning

question for the veterans, in OOB do the axis achieve victory after a full round of play? or just when the next round starts, ie the end of Frances turn. For example if Japan got 6 victory cities on their turn in the pacific, would the axis then win when it got back to japans turn on round 7, or at the end of Frances turn on round 6? Thank you!

@Jacob16 all versions require that victory cities are held for a full round.

@Jacob16 There is a bug in TripleA that this is triggered at the end of the round.
