Obviously the actual word “remains” should be used.

I don’t remember which one SZ 39 is, but as long as it’s more than 2 from West US it’s ok.

I can’t remember the SZ’s, but I hit the destroyer off Malta and the BB and cruiser fleet. Usually try to manage with Med AF/Navy only, and this sort of works if cruiser 91 survives, but sometimes I’ll put the Strat into the battle and land it in Malta.

OK. Now the map doesn’t open even when I click the mod. Everything else does.

Will try again later but could someone send me this file later maybe?

OK. So, I have downloaded a free .rar un-.rar-er, un-.rar’ed the file, and opened ABattlemap. It. Doesn’t. Work. First time I tried, it wouldn’t let me scroll (how do you scroll again? Just want to make sure I’m not stupid), and the second time when I selecteda unit, wherever I moved my mouse it would place those units. And not so a territory ends up with 1000 fighters, just so that there are fighters all over the screen.

I will try again, butif this doesn’t work can someone SEND me (PM me for email) their un-.rar’ed TMTM Global 1940 module? Thanks. PS make it Alpha+3.9 version. Thanks.

I agree. As UK, the only time I would move units out of the Med is if it’s hopeless and I want the units out so Italy won’t destroy them. I’d bring a fleet in if either a. it was fleeing Japan or b. I felt like it would make THE difference in who gains control of the Med.

Put simply, if the UK can hold the Med (as it did IRL), it’ll be virtually impossible for Italy to do anything in N. Africa.

Couple this with a few minor builds in Union of South Africa and the game can be won easily.

Well, the theory is that one of the following will happen, allowing easy convoy raids:
1. UK fighters will die, either due to bad rolls or bad strat
2. UK airbase will be damaged and will be a drain to repair
3. UK destroyers will eventually be destroyed (and they actually could be UK1)

But destroyers will dissuade Germany from building subs to possibly counterattack the fleet.

OK. So that means I need to redownload and replace the .rar file?

Am currently trying to unzip the .rar from my home comp (the 4th different comp I’ve used in this process  :roll:)

Sorry for so many questions, but I’ve put the .rar file into my ABattlemap folder and now still cannot open it.

How do I do this?

Say for example I want to put some German guys in Berlin. So I select them, put them in Berlin, blah blah blah. Then I want to unselect. How do I do that?

Are any of these mods compliant with Alpha+3.9?

Funcioneta’s is still showing me OOB, and I could modify the setups and stuff but it would take work.

If there is something compliant with Alpha+3.9 (and I’d assume there is because I’ve seen +3.9 games), where is it and how can I get it?

Thanks!

Yeah but Axis can put out subs which are best countered by destroyers.

I would say that putting cruisers in EVERY navy is a bit of a stretch…

Yeah. They decided that India (West) should be a part of India, so it is no longer tied to UKE.

So, what I do is keep a few subs in SZ 109 and SBR UK so that the UK factory is insignificant. I send subs out to try and hit the US, but usually with some “heavy” ship support.

Meanwhile, Germany is taking Russia and Japan Calcutta.

Thank you! Unfortunately mediafire won’t let me download from my home computer  :x :x :x :x :? :? :? :? so I’m trying from school, where downloading .zip files are difficult to work with.

Moralecheck is right. The point of air superiority is not to represent CONTROL of the skies, but support/escort capabilities that give the tacs a chance to hit facilities or whatever.

What I do is I put a few subs off of 109 and go from there, using NB Normandy to propel new subs along with them for an attack or to attack without 109’s support. It eventually pays for itself, plus with the SBR UK can build UK once every 2 turns, and then barely anything. Now, when the US comes…

…Japan is in Calcutta, Germany is touring Moscow and the game is nearly over. Hopefully.

1Mediafire doesn’t work for my home computer, so can someone PM me so that we can arrange for ABattlemap (most recent version) to be emailed to me?
