Global 1940 and 1943 Expansion for use with TripleA

Firstly, is there a way to make the technology option match the Global 1940 games? It’s really throwing me off. It does stuff that I don’t expect like only triggering one turn after you got it and giving aircraft a +2 bonus.

A couple questions on other map options:

What does “paratroopers deep strike” mean?
What does “power projection” mean?

I look forward to your anwsere. Thank you!

@Black_Elk Great, that’s exactly what I had in mind ;)

I think it is possible to find what is the exact minimal ratio to minimize the empty space on the right. And I already have some ideas on what to put there. It’s great how sometimes technical constrains give you the opportunity to develop nice stuff!

ps. New Game below… Here USA bid the carrier 2 tanks 2 fighters 1 art.

In under the wire. One last match vs the Machine before the month is out haha! Good old revised

Again with USA +50, LL no tech, no sbr vs skynet, since the machine doesn’t know how to retaliate yet hehe. (This allows for some interesting AAgun options against the AI, since you don’t have to cover vs SBR like you would against a human.) Opted for a Germany focus this time with a Kriegsmarine expansion.
:-D

Straight through again since I had a few hours tonight. Shaved off a round, this time sweeping the map in the 15th.
Axis total victory. Total Domination
:evil:

Elk vs TripleAI Revised US+50 Axis total domination G16.tsvg

Hello,

i love Triple A, but in the 1.7.0.1 version the objections don’t seem to be working anymore.

If you capture Stalingrad or Leningrad the 5 ipc is not counted. Only if you capture all of them (so russia too).

The same goes with the muliple objections (iraq, persia …) from Italy and (hawaii, calcuta) from Japan

Subs rolling separately is a minor issue in low luck games.  If you have 1 ss 1 dd 2 bb against a fleet with a dd–the total punch is 12, but it’s quite possible to only get 1 hit.  It would be an improvement if subs are lumped in with the gross total in that scenario (eg only if the enemy has a dd that negates the surprise shot).

@Babubaer:

All powers can declare war to true neutral, but not the Anzac can do this.

I think Veqryn may be misreading this post.  I believe the OP is reporting a bug that ANZAC is not allowed to declare war on the true neutrals during their turn.  The usefulness of such a move is a side-issue.

For sure.  Thanks Veqryn

@Veqryn:

Global 1940 2nd Edition, version 3.7 is released

download it now!

changes from 3.6 to 3.7:

1. fixed japanese national objective so that if germany/italy takes india and/or the other power centers in asia, that japan gets her money

2. allowed rockets to gang up on infrastructure

3. Added some things to the game notes about what is NOT covered by the engine (and therefore, what you need to manually keep in mind):

Rules the engine does not do, but you must follow:

Do not allow blitzing or movement through Friendly Neutrals. Air units may not land in or move through Friendly Neutrals, including the same turn they are captured. Friendly Neutrals can not be ‘captured’ with an AA Gun, only by land units with an attack power. Air units may not move through Unfriendly Neutrals unless they are attacking them. Air units may not move through a Neutral territory IF that neutral territory had been attacked on some previous turn by some power (because technically that neutral stops being neutral at that point, and joins the other side). If UK Pacific captures Japan, the money goes to UK Pacific, even if UK Pacific’s capital is occupied. Do not allow USA movement to end in any Sea Zone that touches a Japanese owned territory (Sea Zones 6, 17, 19, 20, 22, 32, 33, 34, 36, and 37). You must place all units you purchased if you are able to, or as many as you can. Any units not placed get refunded to you (triplea instead carries them over to the next turn). The victory conditions must be held for a full continuous round after they are achieved (so for example if Italy takes Egypt as the 8th European VC, then the Axis must hold 8 VCs continuously until Italy’s next turn).

Lastly, I wish to introduce 2 things that everyone may not know already exist within the TripleA engine:

1. Edit Move Units
To “Edit Move”, you must first be in some movement phase.  
Then turn on Edit Mode.
On the right side you see some tabs: “Action” tab, and “Edit” tab, and other tabs.
When you turn on edit mode, you switch automatically to the ‘edit tab’.  However you can still perform ‘actions’ during edit mode, and edit mode changes those actions to reflect that you are in edit mode.
So now click on the “Action” tab, and then move the units just like you would normally.
Because you are in edit mode, the movement validation is turned off, so this allows you to basically move units where-ever you want, including moving enemy units, or even making an enemy attack, or loading transports, etc.

2. Game Comments (aka: a way to tell what fighter is on what carrier, among other things)
Click “View” menu, then select “Show Comment Log”
From there, you can type out and add comments to the game.  The comments will go into the History Panel, and be permanently added to the game save.
Things you could possibly use this for: telling your opponent which fighter is on which carrier, when you have a mixed-nation fleet.

Global 1940 2nd Edition, version 3.8 is released

changes from 3.7 to 3.8:

Moved Politics phase to be after Purchase phase and before Combat Move phase. China can declare war on European Axis if they move into China’s allowed movement range. ANZAC can now declare war on True Neutrals. Added the 1942 scenario.
