Game 1 - Global 40 EXP - Alexander (Allies) vs. Panzer (Axis)


  • @Panzerstahl-Helm @Alexander

    Just to add to Panzer’s above, Elites also can’t be part of a Corps. They can be part of a Army Group.

    Have Fun

    Prosit


  • @barnee @Panzerstahl-Helm Just re-skimmed the rules for the unique unit/army gouping rules before purchasing.

    For unit purchasing, does this now happen at the start of the turn? Or was I supposed to wait (and would then get the option to place) at the end like normal? Either way, I did not move the new units I placed so there shouldn’t be an issue for Russia. (I’m guessing this is so that the “upgrades” to units can be applied.) — In general, please let me know if I do something wrong!

    Here’s my first shot for a battle report - nothing too eventful for R1:

    Purchase Units
    Russians buy 2 Soviet_Commisars, 2 artilleries, 1 elite, 4 infantry and 4 mine_unarmeds; Remaining resources: 0 PUs; 3 AirLendLease; 3 TankLendLease; 
    Place Units
    1 artillery placed in Novgorod
    1 infantry placed in Ukraine
    2 Soviet_Commisars, 1 elite and 4 mine_unarmeds placed in Russia

  • @Alexander

    Sweet you got it rolling :)

    Yea so the only dudes that place first place:

    Screenshot from 2025-10-16 19-07-48.png

    I keep a Rulebook window, actually two so I can scroll with one and check the Table of contents with the other, available at all times :)

    The “Help” tab top left will allow you to access “Game Notes”. They explain most of how triplea works with the mod but are continuing to be updated for better clarity.

    Yea, any questions, ask away :) First game is a learning game but @crockett36 just won his first game so it’s not an automatic loss.

    You gonna dig it :)

    @Alexander @Panzerstahl-Helm

    Hmm … I just noticed “Elite Armor” on the above list. this is incorrcet. It should place the same as Elite Infantry.

    On the list to fix :)


  • @barnee Thanks! I may have to upgrade from my printed copy of the HRE to the Triple A version for some of these nuances.


  • @Alexander

    Oh you should have both. Triplea Game Notes are just how triplea has to implement the rules.
    The Captain’s rules take precedent. Edit and hand rolling with dicebot and Player enforcement makes triplea rule compliant.

  • 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19 '18

    @Alexander

    So the Captain’s rulebook are the two left top windows. I click on them when I need clarification

  • 2024 '23 '22 '21 '20 '19 '18


  • @Alexander

    In case I forgot to mention, you can have a different look with "Map Blends on. It’s under “View”.

    Makes it not quite as neon and is easier to see some units in Italy and Java/NG

    Screenshot from 2025-10-18 15-15-57.png

    Yep your first turn went fine, except for the early place. As you said though, it had no affect on the game and you now know the placement order :)


  • @barnee Neat, I’ll give it a try next turn - I think it will take a bit of time to get used to all the new unit art for the HRE!


  • @Alexander

    Yea the UHD units took me 2-3 games to get used to. But I really dig em now. They’re mostly Frostion’s with Elk doing a few and hepster, ebbe and others as well.

    Oh yea Joe Pants lol. I try to credit everyone when I can :)

    Even using them in the OOB Global makes it seem like a new game lol

    I’ll try and be a mostly silent observer :) Just stoked you checkin it out :)


  • @Alexander

  • @Panzerstahl-Helm Nothing too exciting to report for USA and China, Italy needs to scramble/not for SZ97 combat:

  • Hi @Alexander

    Posting a shot of the scramble area as you did is what we usually do. Also, I will post a save of the game at that point. What you listed below works too but the save allows one to scroll through History and get the visual as well.

    Not a big deal this early in the game :)

    Normally just go with triplea for casualties and obviously take what you yourself would if roles were reversed. If unsure, you can ask for a Order Of Loss.


  • @Alexander

    no scramble, sir.

    Good n8


  • @Panzerstahl-Helm @barnee Just want to confirm, transports cannot be taken as casualties like OOB? TripleA is suggesting it can be taken first

    5f68a45d-c52a-47d8-bece-d2b16b4e853b-image.png


  • @Alexander

    Hi, transports need to be taken at last.
    This is player enforced.

    Best regards


  • @Alexander

    Later in the game they get to defend at “1”
