Play Axis and Allies Global 1940 2nd ed. Online via Tabletop Simulator (fully scripted)!

Hi!

I’ve uploaded a tool I created several years ago to help estimate combat outcomes in the classic game. I was not satisfied with the already available tools, which would typically only present the probability of winning vs losing.
This tool presents the simulation results in the form of a histogram, where you can easily see the likelihood and cost of different outcomes.
I hope someone finds it useful! Unless you consider it cheating ;)

Dear Sirs and Madams,

I’d like to introduce you my Microsoft Excel based IPC calculator/tracker for Axis & Allies Global 1940 2nd. My A&A hommies and I always forget to adjust the territory at any time during the game so I developed this Excel table.

It serves several functions :

track and calculate IPCs with territories and national objectives (few have to be adjusted manual (SZ125, Med, …) [sheet: IPC track]

calculate Purchases per 1 round [sheet: purchase round]

calculate all rounds [sheet: purchase chart])

calculate land and sea battles (my dice colors are 1:=beige, 2:= blue, 3:= red, 4:= yellow, therefore the dice colors)

And here is:

Please don’t hesitate to ask if there are some questions.
Thanks for your feedback!

@Fatespinner:

I wonder how difficult it would be to convert TripleA into a HTML5 format or for GameMaker Studio. From there is should be fairly easy to generate an async. multiplayer game that is scalable and convertable to different devices. People could also host it on there personal website.

Concerning HTML5/WebApp I remember somehow related discussions on Github, see:

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/284

Tabletop Simulator has a lot of different boardgames and variants on it these days. You can virtually recreate any boardgame on it. So it has the boardgame feel of rolling dice and moving physical models around, though in congested areas like Europe this can get a bit tricky and you often select more than what you’re looking for.

Has anyone created a Battlemap module for the 1942 2nd edition?

You should wait a bit. Don’t rush, because Mr. Harris said that he want make a new update (maybe the final version) in like 4-6 weeks. From I can understand, alpha 3 is even more provisional than latter versions. No much point updating the module

About the charts, the other time I simply copy pasted the letters from the old files  :-) And when I do the module for the last version, I’ll have not much to change. The list would be:

Unit costs as you pointed Some NO boxes here and there (I still prefer the NO boxes near to the zone they are related, good old AA50 style) Setup in fact is the thing I hate more. One has to redo the whole setup to prevent glitches. Not difficult, be requires much work, and double check I’ll check the optionals chart, just in case some of them are obsolete (probably the NAP and the merry mongolians)

As for the mongolians, not much work to do. If they stay as they are, simply I should delete the NAP box (the mongolians substitute the pact), and when they are activated, Japan’s simply must put an ‘allied friendly’ marker.

Check out my post right on this very forum…the Software Forum.  You should read it too Jennifer.  Yes we all love TripleA but the Hasbro A&A is far superior in online play.
