I only take the ftr and tac from Moscow. The rest of my strat is all from the PAC and Africa.

Are you buying more planes with Russia for the help?

Turn 1: 2 subs, 4 inf, and a mech. Or 1 sub, fighter , 4 infantry. Depending on how froggy you feel ;)

Turn 2: as many land units as possible!!!

I uninstalled everything and deleted everything. I’m going to try yet again hen I get home. Thanks for the help by the way. I’ll get this damn thing running if it kills me lol. I’m slightly computer illiterate lol.

I uninstalled and deleted everything and am now starting from scratch. Is there better direction for the computer illiterate to download what is needed to play in the forums?

So i have downloaded the newest version of the Abattlemap from the link on the forum and it is installed.  I open it up but there is no A3 global map in there anywhere?  I also downloaded the GA3.gim file and copied and pasted it to the abattlemap folder and that didnt change anything?

What am i doing wrong or what am i missing?  I would really like to start playing on the forums but cannot until i get this thing up and running!!!

If anyone could please help me or point me in the right direction that would be awesome!!!

Thanks in advance!

ok so here is where i am at. I uninstalled the abattlemap and reinstalled the .80 version or whatever it is.  It does not have anything for global except two varients that are completely different then what im looking for.  There is no “Axis & Allies: Global 1940 Alpha +.3 v1 GA3.gim”  i downloaded the GA3.gim and copied it to battemap and still dont have any extra options.

Now when i click on your map i can open it or save it or open/save it… it wont let me copy it ?

I was able to copy it yesterday, then i pasted it into the GA3.gim, but when i opened it only the tool bar comes up, no map???

I am not that good on the computer but im following everything that was said on the forums to try and get this to work and yet nothing is working lol.  any other suggestions?

sketorinfo map does not exsist is what i get when trying to open it

do i have to have a different GA3. for every game i am playing?

@corriganbp:

Did you copy the contents into a folder called GA3.gim that is under the folder “ABattleMap”?

there is no GA3.gim folder under abattlemap?

All said above can be stopped by Germany but at the loss of a few planes which also lowers the % of taking London. So I don’t see it making London too strong too early

My thought was to take the UK cruiser from SZ112 and put it in SZ110, move the transport from SZ109 to SZ91, and add 1 inf to Gibraltar or move the Algerian french unit over 1.

It forces the Germans to attack SZ110 on G1 or this happens.

The Brits move Egypt navy with inf and arm to SZ92, SZ110 goes to SZ104 to block.

It forces te Germans to attack SZ104 on G2 or this happens.

UK moves SZ91 and SZ92 to SZ109 (a German block on G2 in SZ104 would be taken out by RAF and everything NCMs) adding 3 inf and an armor to the UK on UK2.

If the Germans take their subs from SZ109 to attack the block in SZ104 on G2 that adds more ipcs for the UK to spend.

It also leaves the uK navy to worry about after the Germans take London. It makes it easier for te allies to kill the German fleet after the fall of London.

It still leaves German the option for sealion but reduces the odds slightly.
It doesn’t pose any real threat to Italy.
It gives the UK some more options of play

The UK could take brazil, Persia, and Iraq to gain more ipcs to put in London too.

@theROCmonster:

Game must be broken if it takes the allies to win two 97% battles to have the advantage…

In my mind, if you say the game is broken, then you are saying that more than 80% of the time one side loses.  That’s why I tend not to use the term broken.

Can the allies win after sea lion?  Yes.  Hell yes even.  The trick is giving the DEI to India so they can reinforce Russia.
Can the allies win after double sea lion?  Yes, but it’s a lot harder.  You cannot leave anything to chance, engage in battles you are certain to win, and avoid those where the issue is in doubt, grab anything you can to increase your income (hence why I advise the axis to avoid taking anything they dont need) so that your financial power can beat the Axis powers, despite being an ally down.

Jen I’m being serious and i am not trying to bash or insult you, so don’t take it that way but:

Wait a second here?  If Japan is such a huge power that can take India on 3 every game how is India sending units to Russia?

I said the same thing in a post about India sending units to help Russia and/or go take back Egypt and you were one of a few who said it was hogwash and it couldn’t happen and wouldn’t help. You also state that India falls by 5 for sure every single game.

I’m a little confused here!?!!  Which is it? India falls or India can survive?  Or are you just saying if Japan doesn’t go for India? Then I understand.

On the topic:

I believe that if the allies take out the german fleet after the sack of London it is 60/40 allies.  If the allies don’t take out the German fleet after London falls then I would agree it may give the axis a slight edge but victory is still not guaranteed.

Every game I have played F2F India has a slim chance of falling but the Japanese lose a lot of units in te process. In the rounds leading up to the attack on India, Hawaii, Philippines, and sydney are all being stacked. Then there is the two rounds Japan has to take to get to Sydney or Hawaii giving two more rounds of stacking. I haven’t seen the pacific fall as easily as people tend to say.

It’s next to impossible to stop the German sea lion on 3, but there is that slight chance that it can be stopped.  I believe that the allies in a joint effort can take out the German fleet after it happens though.

I have also seen the Americans come in and take Rome and Paris back ignoring London. In that same game I saw India UK take back Egypt. The VCs in Europe kept going tit for tat but once America had the foothold in Europe it was over for the axis.

So I do believe the allies can win after sealion.

As Russia I declare war on Japan on turn 1 and send the tank and mech from volgorod to china. I take the tac & fighter to Szechwan as well. Now the tank, mech, and tac & ftr are now protecting china and in position to attack Japan. I believe it takes three turns for the tank and mech to get to India this way and the tac and fighter 2 turns.

I’ll try again when I get home. Maybe I wasnt coping right.

I haven’t seen it yet. I look and let u know

I’ll try again after work.
