Ok I just sort of figured the map out too. It’s ugly as sin….sorry to impose it on you.
Have to be mindful to add country markers on a conquered territory so that the Infoview box updates the IPC accordingly. Sigh in fact have to be mindful of a lot of things, including the money count at the bottom and damage markers for industry.

My next post will be WAR! :lol:
I think I got the hang of TripleA, and the map would be WWII v4?
As much as I’d like to use it, it appears to not incorporate the rule of strategic bomber escorts? I quite like that rule (smacks of realism to me…).
If that is true then I’d prefer battlemap if you don’t mind. I understand it to be just a illustrative map with no embedded rules. I’m happy to email you the moves and map file. I’ll post on the forum, then cut and paste the whole lot including the forum dice roller results. What do you think?
Awesome! Yay! I was starting to lose hope and pack away the board.
Wonderful to have the opportunity to learn together…I would hate to screw up a veteran’s game haha…
Let me get either TripleA or battlemap sorted out tonight and launch a game thread in the forum. I’ll let you know which one I’ve familiarised up on, if you let me dictate the preference please.
You can choose Axis or Allies!
Hi there Malachi!
Thanks for the advice…and wow that is a long thread to comb through (which I will, because it looks real interesting…)
I’m downloading the battlemap now. Think I will still set up my physical board alongside it, just to enjoy the view.
I will like forum tempo too (correspondence chess player), nice and slow. So TripleA is out for a while yet.
Now…how about a game, anyone? :-)
Sigh…quiet forum, or unpopular game version? :-(
Hi there!
An old returning player…my last games were in high school and now wish to experience the game again. Can’t seem to get anybody interested in the real game nowadays with work and other responsibilities :cry:, so I’ve showed up at the forums.
I’ve never played by forum before, but I’ve done some reading up. Forgive me if my syntax is all wrong and I ‘misroll’ dice. Would anyone like a game of 1942 with me please, and break in this forum beginner? :-)
All rules (standard and optional) in the rulebook apply. I can play axis or allies, only preference is to go 2nd so I can see how you post and emulate.
I’m using my own physical board to track things, before I venture into the software tools most people seem to be using.
