Abattlemap module for 1914 is now ready! In the Software section of A&A.org

Hi Everyone! I’ve just completed the first version of this module. There might be mistakes… so I put it out there for everyone to help make it better… let me know any errors… and if someone wants to help improve the Map.bmp or the ToolPieces.bmp… feel free to do so and just message me here and I’ll update the module with your new and improved files.

Here is the download http://www.axisandallies.us/1914.zip v2 Updated 5/16/2013

For v2… just some minor changes… the games you already have started will work with this update. I just changed the map art and the Starting setup to include the starting income in the Sahara. Added some capitol flags and minor territory flags and if you look in the WWI.gim folder there are 2 other Map files to choose from… if you want to change the Map… just rename the file Map.bmp to something else and then rename the map you like to “Map.bmp”

You can download Abattlemap at www.abattlemap.com

Is anyone planning to work on a module for 1914?

@questioneer:

The Alpha Project is DONE- proof:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=26786.0

So maybe you guys can update the NOs and setup on the A3map???

I don’t have the time to comb through it all and know what needs removed or added… I can adjust the module… if you give me a list of things you want changed on the module.

Try a program called 7-Zip. rar files are just another type of zip file and need to be unzipped. http://www.7-zip.org/

Alpha 3.9? Didn’t know it was called 3.9… went over to http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6149 and did find that there is a new update: 02/11/12 Setup revised. Germany, France and UK modified.
Soviet NO change: I’ll have to get a new update to the module soon… anyone that already understands the changes and would like to tell me what needs changed… feel free to instruct me :)

@techroll42:

What do I need to download before I get this?

Note that I have NOTHING related to Axis and Allies on my comp.

(I.E., how do I get the capabilities to play by forum?)

Please help!

Download and install this:http://www.mediafire.com/file/w05zwkxji5w/ABattleMap_Installer.exe

Some info on how to use Abattlemap can be found at http://abattlemap.com/

Then download and unzip this: http://www.axisandallies.us/GA3.zip into the Abattlemap folder (default C:\Program Files\Abattlemap)

@thirstysword:

hello I’m new to this site and can’t find people to play in person where I am. I have downloaded the ABattlemap file for not windows which is on top post here (using a mac), and it doesn’t start installing when I open the file. This computer wouldn’t run tripleA either, apparently it needed java updates. But when I attempted to update the computer wouldn’t let me, and said it already had a later version of java. What am I missing here? I don’t care if I sound stupid, just throw me a bone so I can start playing. [mac os x 10.4.11]

much appreciation.

Abattlemap works on windows… you could install Windows on your Mac… or buy a cheap laptop just for Abattlemap… I would hehe

Ok, so we need to change the map to 26 before starting any league/tournament games requiring alpha 3?

Nah.  They can play currently, we just use territories like Holland, W. Germany, Denmark, and Germany for the Italian ones or the Med Island ones - it would be preferable to add all the territories however.

I updated the module… it has all the territorries in the Russian NO now… I think hehe and update a few other things… the newest version
is “Axis & Allies: Global 1940 Alpha+.3 - v1 - GA3.gim”

http://www.axisandallies.us/GA3.zip v1 updated Tuesday, Nov 29, 2011 11:43 PM EST

I downloaded this update and S.Italy is missing their air/naval bases.

Concur.  You can fix this by putting them on and saving the file in the correct directory as the start file.  (it’s called start.)  Just FYI, but it should be fixed.

download updated with the s.italy naval and air bases. Merry Christmas!

@suprise:

I tried to become a member at the flames of europe and it says that my nick name is an illegal name
 HELP
I’ve also down loaded the a battle map and a driver and some other stuff, I can get to the maps and I cant seem to find the latest A&A Global 1940. I really want to join the on line group to play games. Im very new to the computer so please excuse me if I dont know all the technical terms. I know that I installed the 8.0. My wife did actually and I think for some reason I can’t open a certain file    ARGH  its frustrating
                                   
                             any help would be appreciated Tank you

Not many play at Flames of europe anymore… my tutorial teaches using flames as the example… sign up for www.aamc.net

To make sure you have abattlemap setup correctly do is: go to www.abattlemap.com this install will make sure you have the correct version. If you think you have the correct version… then the 1940 global module should work. To add this module to your abattlemap… download and unzip it to the folder you have abattlemap installed to… which is most likely C:\program files\abattlemap to download the module at http://www.axisandallies.us/GA3.zip and unzip it to your abattlemap folder i just stated.

@AAFan10:

First off, it looks great. Second, I have no idea how to use it. What is the purpose of this, is there a way to play other people, because I dont even see a way to play by yourself. Or is this just used to keep track of a game?

Here is a tutorial that will show you how people use abattlemap http://www.axisandallies.us/onepagetutorial.html it shows you how to play at flames of europe but I’ve moved to play at www.aamc.net now. Abattlemap is kinda simple… just a map and pieces and a way to save the map setup and email that save file to the other players. If your looking for something for more try Triplea http://triplea.sourceforge.net/

Let me know of any errors or updates. Enjoy!

@wheatbeer:

Also, Japan’s starting IPC is 26 not 30 right?  If so, that is represented incorrectly on the IPC/turn chart.

I’ll take your word for it… all the updates are done… download link in just a moment

@Cmdr:

@TMTM:

@Cmdr:

Missing Albania, N. Italy, S. Italy…basically all the Italian territories on the Russian NO.  Yea, they can earn THAT MUCH MONEY.

So at this point the only fixes it needs is adding 3 more flag boxes to the Russian NO?

That I found, yes.  And yes, Egypt is not adding correctly.  Might want to just outright kill the convoy counters now that we have to roll dice.

edit: ive turned off the auto convoy and now when Germans are at war with UK and move a sub into the convoy zone it doesnt show any damage on the damage line of abattlemap.

@wheatbeer:

Beta 6 is not showing the right amount of IPC for Germany’s unit in Egypt NO.  It only adds 3 IPC rather than 5.

thanks, it’ll be in the next update
