MKP, I got my electronic map working. Let me know if you’re interested in a game?

I got my electronic map working. Let me know if you’re still interested?

Are you looking for a game w/tech?

I’d be happy to play. If interested, start the thread…

I FINALLY got it working! Thanks for your help!

I tried opening the file you sent. It didn’t work. For some reason the Battlemap program doesn’t like my two computers.  :x

Ok, just so you know, I can’t get the electronic map to work but I have my board at home to follow along with. If you’re ok with that, go ahead and create the thread and take Germany’s Turn 1.

Looking for a A&A Global 1940 opponent. Prefer to play Allies. Let me know if you’re interested?

Are there any players in southern California interested in getting together for a A&A Global 1940 game?

Also, me and another friend will be at the upcoming Gamex gaming convention in Los Angeles Memorial Day weekend. If you’re going or interested in going, let me know? Would like to get together w/any players going for a A&A Global 1940 game.

Are you going to be taking your turn anytime soon?

Good point! Forgot about the French!  :-D

FYI, putting a Brit DD in SZ94 does not block the Italian navy. The Italian navy can still reach the Brit navy in SZ92 by traversing SZ’s 95 and 93.

Correct. You want the new guy playing China w/supervision from someone else. Or France is a good country for a newbie to play. LOL!  :-D

Ok, sounds good! Feel free to post China or one country at a time, if you have time, as I’m keeping track on my board at home. Thanks!

I have the following in my T40.gim folder, which is a folder under my ABattlemap folder, under Program files :

• BigPieces(bitmap)
• Map(bitmap)
• MapHiRes(bitmap)
• MapInfo(text)
• MapNoTerrain(bitmap)
• MapNoTerrainHiRes(bitmap)
• Readme(text)
• Sektorinfo(text)
• Sektorinfo(bitmap)
• Sektorinfo.map
• Sektorinfo.sek
• Start.AAM
• Toolpieces(bitmap)
• Toolpieces(text)
• Unitstats(text)

There are two folders in this directory also : #1). Swith to auto convoy. #2). Switch to manual convoy.

Like I said, I can see all the other maps of the other A&A games when I launch Battlemap. Just not the A&A Global 1940 map. Very confusing! Thanks in advance for your help!

UK is definitely the hardest country to play, followed by Germany, then Japan, then Russia, then Italy. China, US and France are easy to play in my opinion, especially France!  :-D

In my opinion, it’s important to try and take out both UK DD’s, one SZ w/a BB in it, usually SZ111 and SZ112. And also take out the Transports, which means SZ109 has to go. I know that’s a lot to ask of the Germans, especially SZ109, since the UK can scramble 4 FTR’s. The only other strategy I believe is to take 2 Subs and attack the CC in SZ91, instead of attacking SZ109 and then use the 3rd German sub to attack SZ111. Or, you could take the 3rd German sub against SZ106 to ensure the DD’s & Trans death. That way, the UK only has 1 DD that can counter attack the 2 or 3 subs(depending on how many survive) in SZ106. You can use the German subs to take away some IPC’s in the convoy zones. The BB & DD in SZ111 is easily taken out w/the 3 FTR’s & 3 Tacs you can get on it. Yes, you may lose 1 FTR most likely but it’s well worth it to kill a UK BB.

And now you get 5 turns in a row… US’s turn…

Here’s what I show for Japan. Let me know if you agree?

Iwo Jima = 1 Inf
Caroline Is. = 2 Inf, 1AA
Paulau Is. = 4 Inf
SZ34 = 2 Trans, 1 Sub, 2 DD’s, 2 CC’s, 1 AC w/1 FTR & 1 Tac
Siam = 2 Inf
SZ36 = 1 Sub, 2 DD’s, 2 AC’s, 2 BB’s
Kwangsi = 2 Inf, 2 Art, 6 FTR’s, 3 Tacs
Anhwe = 6 Inf, 1 Mech, 3 Art
Chahar = 1 Inf
Jehol = 4 FTR’s, 4 Tacs, 2 S. Bmbr’s
Amur = 10 Inf, 1 Art
Siberia = 1 Inf, 1 Tank
SZ5 = 1 Trans
SZ6 = 2 Trans
Japan = 5 Inf, 2 Art
Manchuria = 1 Minor IC
Shantung = CM(control marker)
Kiangsi = CM
Kiangsu = CM
