Hi there, I’d like to show you my gaming table:

@fasthard
I started playing Axis & Allies in 2015.
with A&A 1942nd Ed. Changed then to Europe 1940nd Ed, Pacific 1940nd Ed and Global 1940nd Ed.
Now I'm playing A&A Global BM4 with Bids around 20 IPCs, eighter via internetchat or live with two friends of mine. We try to play our livegames about once in a quarter.
I also like to customize my gaming table, pieces and Excel Sheets for A&A.
I started playing TripeA in the league in 2024 and I'm totally into it ;-)

RE: Global Gaming Table Threads and Picturesposted in Customizations
@barnee, @CWO-Marc
Thx for your feedback!@CWO-Marc
Yes, the monitors help tracking the income during the game. My group and I always forgot to adjust the IPC table at any time during the game, that sucked. Therefore I did this Excel table. Works quite fine now. If anybody is interessted let me know, I’d like to share it.@barnee
The beer holders are on each side of the table. I don’t like cupholders, because there is only space for one drink ;-) The dagger helps if someone does not want a drink or to declare war to other nations.

Got some facelift for my gaming table:

In addition there’s a steel panel below the map, needed for the new created flight stands and other magnetic stuff:

RE: socket errorposted in TripleA Support
Hi there, I also had socket write errors. But I was able to post the turn summary via ‘Post Turn Summary’ when I did this:
- save the game
- leave game
- load saved game
- retype ‘Forum Password’
- start game by forum (‘Play’)
- post turn summary via ‘Post Turn Summary’
Hope this helps!?

Axis & Allies MS Excel IPC calculator/trackerposted in Software
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:
AxisAndAllies_GLOBAL_1940_2nd_Initial_20200228.xlsPlease don’t hesitate to ask if there are some questions.
Thanks for your feedback! -

RE: Keeping Track of IPCposted in Axis & Allies Global 1940
@allister I had the same problem about tracking the income. Therefore I created this Excel Table, (this screeenshoted here is only valid for BM). If there is interest I can invest some time to adjust it for OOB or have a look if i can find a former OOB version anywhere on my hard drive.

RE: A PC Calculator for IPCsposted in Software
Hi kennethofborg,
you’re welcome.I’ve done a global IPC tracker with MS Excel (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qj1ukd81mhwvhwu9ajbo3/AxisAndAllies_GLOBAL_1940_2nd_Initial_20200312.xlsm?dl=0&rlkey=ndesbxts7ih1pcqknz2vriu6l), therefore I’ve got some preparation lists I can easily adjust:
BasicCountryListGlobal.txt
There’re all IPCs relevant territories included (also the NO ones without IPC value).Here are some maps files:

@WindowWasher yeah, that looks a little bit strange with the purchased ground troups in tokyo waiting for their bus…
Sorry for the dicing in alexandria… struggled a lot to attack there, but I felt I had to, but with a more even result… :-/

RE: L26 BM4 fasthard(X) vs Amon-Sul(L+24)posted in League
@Amon-Sul yeah, I think so too. Germany had a tough time (Pressure from West and few options in the East) Italy had a little room, but could not do a lot (except controlling the med and strenghten Germany).
But Japan performed at it’s best (capturing AND holding India gave them lots of room to get the last needed VC (in additon they had lots of Tt do do so). The Soviets joint to late into the Pac war, so Japan had nothing to be afraid of…
Killing the US/ANZ fleet did the rest, to do whatever they want. -
