    • RE: 1940 Global Alternate Universe (G40 Alt-Universe)

      @koala

      Yeah, I hear you on the immersion. It’s something that I’ve thought about but left off for now for a few reasons:

      1. My priority has always been on strategic tension/intrigue and variety along with balance. I’m definitely still focusing on that for now.
      2. The plan was always for it to be a sort of expansion from the main game for a diversion. I wasn’t really expecting anyone to play it frequently enough to start remembering territory names anyway, but more just mixing it in here and there for variety.
      3. It always felt a bit disingenuous to start naming places on an imaginary map since the real game is based on real places that have history and emotional ties.

      I could invent some names, but that feels like it doesn’t have any context. The other option is just going with “New London”, “New Berlin”, etc. which could also work.

      At any rate, I think the naming is definitely on the back burner and we’ll see if I get there eventually. The current focus is drumming up interest in actually playing it.

      Thus far I haven’t gotten any feedback on any completed, human vs human playthroughs. I’m thinking about doing a map giveaway draw for anyone who completes a TripleA game on the forum. I’m having a banner vinyl map printed that could be shipped to the winner.

      Also looking into having my print shop be able to print and ship to people, rather than them having to figure out the printing process themselves.

    • RE: L24 OOB AndrewAAGamer (X) vs crockett36 (L+59)

      Hey Fellas,

      Just wondering what version of TripleA you are running. I tried opening your game file and get an error that it’s from a newer version of TripleA. However when I go to the TripleA download site I seem to be on the current version. (2.5.22294)

      Thanks

    • RE: 1940 Global Alternate Universe (G40 Alt-Universe)

      I’ve updated two of the PDF reference files:

      • Summary (National Objectives) File: updated for a couple of minor typos
      • Unit Placement File: updated for minor changes to opening setup

      Here’s a link to a video explaining the opening setup changes:
      https://youtu.be/GIhCVC8Foos

      TripleA file is not yet updated for the opening setup changes, but hope to do that soon.

    • RE: Possible New A&A Game

      @ryandascienti said in Possible New A&A Game:

      Point is, I need a program to design the boards and then print them out. Ideally I don’t want to buy Adobe, so something free to start with, but I’m open to ideas and spending a bit of cash.

      I think GIMP is generally thought of as the poor man’s photoshop. I believe it has the vast majority of the abilities that photoshop has, although it might take more steps to get the same result. There are lots of helpful YouTube videos about how to do things in GIMP though.

      I used GIMP to make a custom map, but at the end of the day wished I’d just payed for photoshop. It’s not because I couldn’t get the job done with GIMP, but just for compatibility. For example, I tried to give my GIMP file to an experienced artist friend to do some work on, but I wasn’t able to convert the GIMP file to a Photoshop file without a loss of information. (layers/vectors and such)

    • RE: Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods

      @Robson
      @kilroynothere

      Hey Fellas, just passing through and I noticed you were able to move a UK Pacific unit into China before UK Pacific and Japan were at war. This shouldn’t be allowed. It looks like there may be a bug in the game code.

      I’ll make a note of it and hopefully fix it if I do an update in the future.

      @TheVeteran @Iron_Stitch

      Hey Fellas,

      I noticed Germany took F5. There’s an issue I know about with that factory where it doesn’t take money away from France when it’s plundered. I plan to fix it on my next TripleA update.

      For now, to be fair, you should deduct $3 from France via edit mode. The rest of the initial factories should work properly.

    • RE: rules AARHE

      @sergio

      Here is a link to several of the rulebooks for the standard Axis and Allies games:
      https://www.axisandallies.org/resources-downloads/

      I’m not familiar with which game AARHE is, so if it’s not in that list could you spell out what AARHE means or show a picture and someone might be able to help.

      Traducido al español:

      Aquí hay un enlace a varios de los libros de reglas para los juegos estándar de Axis y Allies:
      https://www.axisandallies.org/resources-downloads/

      No estoy familiarizado con qué juego es AARHE, así que si no está en esa lista, ¿podría explicar qué significa AARHE o mostrar una imagen y alguien podría ayudarlo?

      I’ve contacted you privately to work out getting it to you.

      For anyone else interested in the map, you’ll need to get in touch with me as it’s too large to store on the forum.
